Information have been discussed, distributed, and discovered through many different ways either it has been from reading a page or spoken about from one person to another. And now, with the technology of the internet, we are able to gaze upon thousands and thousands of archives where information can be valuable to our needs. Yet, government has had ways of censoring information from sources such as books or websites, that they feel is unjust and unacceptable, explained in William Badke’s book, Research Strategies. Therefore, information that could possibly be beneficial to a specific discipline is disregarded and lost in a vast sea of ever growing knowledge. Not only that, censorship can discourage the ability to discover new information and replace what could be the truth with lies. This can force an individual to question where pieces of information is coming from and if one can trust this unknown knowledge.
So what is the correct information and where can we find it? Well it’s everywhere and can be proven with data from experiments or historical artifacts that were previously discovered. Though the tendency has been to accept what has been taught and recorded over the years in schools despite the fact it could possibly be incorrect. Who knows, today we can learn something we are to believe is true, then find out the next day that it was wrong.
Mister William Badke has made me think about how info has developed and has been misinterpreted over the years. Who knows what will happen next.
