Primary Research
I plan on using the analysis method to conduct my primary research.
1. I want to discover and gain more insight into court cases and legal actions regarding my topic. Net neutrality is becoming a legal debate more and more, as people want to see legislation appear. At first, it was a movement brought on by fear that did not attract very much attention, but now it is turning into a national issue.
2. I plan on discovering it by finding these court cases and legal documents on the internet. I’ve already found court cases which discuss the issue of net neutrality, and also a legal document discussing the guidelines of the web, laid out by the FCC. I hope to find more of these examples to bring into my paper.
3. I’m going to analyze court cases and legal actions of net neutrality.
4.The internet provides me with all the information I need in regards to court cases. They are a simple click away. The same goes for the other legislation I want to incorporate. The majority of these things, which I’ve already found, can be located online.
5-6. Biases in general include picking the side that we want to keep the internet free and open, as this is a well accepted view point and almost an obvious side to choose. Of course people want to keep websites and internet providers equal and neutral. I will have to be able to look at both sides of the issue without choosing a side that the majority of people believe in. By using legal documents, I am using concrete evidence that cannot have a bias; a court case or FCC document cannot be bias. By using these types of sources I will avoid bias. Other sources such as news articles or blogs will not be as unbias as these documents.
7. I expect to discover a lot of legal action and legislation that is either in the works or is active now. I’ve already found some great sources and I plan on finding even more. There is no doubt that I will be successful in this regard.
No trackbacks yet.
