Week 3, Question 3
Chapter 6 is in depth about researching your topic. I specifically agreed with the section that went over Identifying multiple perspectives and sources. To me, this would be vital to a good presentation. Every source is going to have a varying perspective and a bias of some source, that's just how it works. Through extensive research and the identification of all the perspectives and biases, the information can be compiled for, what I think would be, a very well rounded presentation with credible information from many aspects. This will be very apparent to your audience in your presentation and I think they would respond much better if this was obvious to them. I also liked how the chapter went into such detail about where to obtain sources because I think most people now-a-days just assume to go online because its so easily accessible.

Identifying multiple perspectives and sources is especially important when one is developing their speech. I completely agree with you in regards to varying perspectives can have varying bias. Like you mentions, everyone has a different opinion, which stem from his or her personal viewpoints. As a researcher it would be greatly beneficial to identify the source and consider any biases the source might present. Could you imagine presenting a speech to an audience and being confronted by a member of the audience that has a completely different viewpoint on your topic of presentation… That would be terrible! Taking the time in identifying multiple perspectives could make or break ones presentation.
