Credible vs Non- Credible Sources




The difference between Credible vs Non- Credible Sources is, non-credible isn't a real sources it's something to make you think that you are getting the real thing but your only getting someone’s else point of view. I did some research last year and I went on Wikipedia and noticed that it was something wrong with the research that there where giving me. I notice that the research was produced in 2005 by a student from high school. When I had to do research on the story about the Trojan War I notice that the source have just been published like two years ago. On the Wikipedia web site anybody can go on their site and change it to their point of view. Like a ten year-old child can go there and say anything about global-warming. So if a child can go on your own site and say things that's on their mind, then you shouldn't have it posted on a site.

A credible site is
www.ceasefirechicago.org . I feel that this is a good site to get some good research. One incident I read about on this website was when four high school students were hospitalized in fair to critical condition at area hospitals following two separate incidents of gang-related violence that occurred in Chicago. Delondyn Lawson, age 15, was reportedly killed by two shots from a .22 caliber semi-automatic handgun. Twelve other students were treated and released for a variety of injuries.

Me as a young black male still attending school I feel that school should be the safest place to a child. I also feel that school should have heavy security and medal detectives to make the school feel safe. Like my school it's safe because our security gaurds are like fathers to us. They make sure that when it is almost time for us to leave from school to go home they makes sure that there isn't any gang-members around to harm a student or anybody else like a student. This is truly sad how these young adults in our community have lost their lives to senseless gang violence. In the Chicago area there is truly a saddening amount of youth deaths.

  1. Patrick,

    Excellent point about how Wikipedia can at time be non-credible. Sometimes the information there is great, but if you don't know who wrote it or whether they know what they are talking about, than you can be sure about what they say.

    You might want to tweak the color scheme of your print because the red and purple is kind of hard to read. White might be easier.
