Creation documented.

Being able to document information gives evidence of cause-and-effect, making organization easier and more effective. Edge and Robinson both discuss the value of documentation in their readings. In “Write it Down!,”  Edge uses cause-and-effects in lab experiences to show the importance of documentation. Being able to have the same results in experiments, is a valuable tool in teaching students. Robinson, Christine discusses the importance of documentation as evidence in her reading, “Documentation Dilemmas.” The conservation of information allows us to have concrete evidence in building a complete understanding of our world. For example we can take the Genesis creation story from the Bible and look at it as form of documentation. There is no one that can say how really accurate the story is, but it is still a documented account of how the world was created. Creating evidence by documenting gives people security to know who, what, where, when, and why things occurred efficiently.

Recreating is in a human’s nature. Authors, artist, musicians, scientist for example have been inspired from other works that have come before them. This inspiration gives birth to new creation; almost in the same way a parent gives their child DNA to form the makeup of a new person. Hauptman believes it is necessary to give credit to the source of inspiration which causes new creations. The same way our last names are carried on to carry on our family’s origins. Now with keeping this idea of origins, leaving traces to lead back to the origin is not simple. Bugeja & Dimitrova, write about the difficulty in the reliability of footnotes. Footnote’s sources become altered, and leave a dead end. Giving credit is the responsibility of the creator, to truly understand the real creation is to know of its source.

In the beginning, there was the idea.

Being able to select a topic from so many, is a major difficulty I have come across while choosing a research topic. Putting time and effort into writing a well-researched paper, makes me want to make sure I pick a solid topic. I want to discover more about the topic and develop my writing techniques, thus having an interesting topic is important (makes it more fun). Also knowing the research topic has enough reference material to back up the topic I chose is another concern. Briefly reading about my topics on the internet and recalling some readings we received in class allows me to be more confident in narrowing down a topic. Everything has been explained about the assignment, the separate assignments for one paper gives us more time to understand each process. The annotated bibliography is what I really want to learn more about, because putting bibliographies together has always puzzled me.
