Research proposal week 3- finding academic articles

Instructions

This week we will be starting on the literature review section of your proposal. The literature review section is a large component of a typical proposal and generally

is several pages long and contains anywhere from 20 to 100 sources. Your will contain a minimum of 3 acceptable academic sources. That means it will be about 3 to 5

paragraphs long.
We are going to write the literature review in 2 steps. This week we will work on finding and evaluating articles. Next week we will be writing the first draft of the

literature review.
First read How to read a scientific paper
This will help you evaluate the resources you need.
Next locate articles about your topic using the library databases
This is another useful resource Social science research network
Hints use journals that are specific to your topic.
Use keywords that are specific- when you find articles look at the search terms that they list and use some of those to expand your search
If you have signed into your library databases you can search in google scholar and it will provide a direct link when you find an article that is in the library data

bases.
Once you have found 5 to 7 articles evaluate them using the questions in section 4 of the how to read a scientific paper article.
Additionally answer the following question for each article- does this article address my topic in a what that is useful for me to write a literature review?
Remember the goal is to find at least 3 articles to write a literature review with next week. If your answer to this last question is no for all of your articles you

should refine your search terms and try again. Remember only academic articles are acceptable for this assignment.
Turn in a list of the 5 to 7 articles you found with complete citations.
Turn in your filled out questions for each of the articles.
You will need at least 3 articles that I find acceptable for your topic in order to move on to the next step.

Due Date: This Mid-Term exam is due no later than 11:59pm, EST, Sept 13th. No late exams will be accepted – no exceptions!
1) Explain the purpose and importance of the scientific method in social science research. (Up to 4 pts; maximum 1 paragraph)
2) In your own words, explain the major points Dr. E conveyed in her week #1 lecture and provide an example of when you DID NOT engage in critical thinking and the consequences of not doing so. (Up to 7 pts; maximum 2 paragraphs)

4) Choose either the concept of cultural relativism OR cultural materialism. Define, and then provide an example of this concept that is NOT provided in the reading. Next, explain how this theory can help you better understand your own culture. (Up to 6 pts; maximum 3 paragraphs)
This is an example of not engaging in critical thinking and my consequence was not getting many points 3/5 or 60%
To me social science interdisciplinary analysis is the study of multiple social sciences (Psychology, Gerontology, Biology, Political Science, Economics Anthropology, and Sociology) and using two or more of these disciplines and their concepts and theories and blend them together to create an informed statement or opinion.
The news article I found to show social science interdisciplinary analysis was a research article on how single grandparents are given custody of their grandchildren and what effect it may cause to them as an aging adult. This is an example because it blends and analyzes several social science disciplines. Gerontology, psychology and sociology.
Concept of Cultural materialism mentioned in the book were.
Cultural RelativismFranz Boas, a pioneer of modern anthropology in the early twentieth century, promoted the idea of cultural relativism, stating that an anthropologist cannot compare two cultures because each culture has its own internal rules that must be accepted. Everyone sees other cultures through the lens of their own culture. For example, if you were born and raised in the United States, you might view Canada differently than if you were born and raised in Canada. Boaz urged anthropologists to understand cultures on their own terms and avoid snap judgments about other practices. Cultural relativism was a response to cultural evolutionism (the theory that all cultures evolve from “savage” to “barbarian” to “civilized”), which assumed an ethnocentric view that nineteenth-century European culture was superior to all others
