...L. Regan Kennedy 1 June 2015 Dr. Curtis Article Review L. Philip Barnes (2005) Was the Northern Ireland Conflict Religious?, Journal of Contemporary Religion, 20:1, 55-69, DOI: 10.1080/1353790052000313918 In his work “Was the Northern Ireland Conflict Religious”, Philip Barnes considers the true impact of religion on the Northern Ireland Conflict. He examines opinions of other scholars, provides a comparison of the event to Islam’s effect on 9/11, and uses logic to conclude religions true role in the matter. Barnes provides many arguments to support both sides of the case, but ultimately he concludes that while the conflict obviously has some relation to religion, religion was not the sole cause of the conflict. After examining his arguments and examples regarding the religious influence on the Northern Ireland Conflict, I agree with Philip Barnes’s conclusion that the conflict was not solely based on religious matters, even they did have a certain impact on it. Philip Barnes begins his article “Was the Northern Ireland Conflict Religious” by pointing out that while the majority opinion seems to be that the Northern Ireland Conflict was definitely a religious conflict, the opinion is not uncontested. He provides two examples of this argument. The first example is a philosopher Rob Harrison’s casual mentioning of the Northern Ireland Conflict to be a religious conflict. Barnes notes that the striking thing about this is that Harrison acts as if everyone just assumes that...

...What is a Scholarly Article? Meriam Library California State University, Chico Many instructors at the college level require that you use scholarly articles as sources when writing a research paper. Scholarly or peer-reviewed articles are written by experts in academic or professional fields. They are excellent sources for finding out what has been studied or researched on a topic as well as to find bibliographies that point to other relevant sources of information. How can you determine if your article is scholarly and/or peer reviewed? 1. Consult the chart. The chart on the back lists the general criteria for determining what type of periodical article you have. Keep in mind that some articles do not meet all the criteria. When in doubt, consult a Reference Librarian or your instructor. 2. Limit your database search to academic, scholarly, or peer reviewed journals. Many databases allow you to limit your search to academic, scholarly, or peer reviewed journals (terminology varies between databases). Although limiting provides a preliminary filter, not all articles within a scholarly journal are scholarly, so you will need to evaluate each article individually against the criteria in the chart. 3. Ask a Librarian We can help you find a scholarly article or determine whether an article you have is scholarly. Get help in person at the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor of the library, or chat online at the Research Station http://www.csuchico.edu/library, or text to 530-265-5594...

...between scholarly, professional, and trade sources when doing research. The first important difference between scholary, popular, and trade sources is who they are written by. Scholarly sources are written by scholarly authors. These are people who are experts in the field that they are writing about. They usually have one of more phds.Occasionally you will see scholarly scources written by phd canidates or people with master degrees. On the other hand popular degrees are written y non-experts. Journalists and freelance writers make up a large percentage of the authors of popluar sources. Ocasssionally you will see a popular publication about a certain topic written by an expert. But just because the author is a scholar doesn’t make the article scholarly. Trade magazines, also known as professional magazines or journals, are publications about skilled work that require special knowledge and skills but people don’t get advanced degrees in those fields. Articles and trade journals are written by people with extensive training, experience, and relevant certifications in theor fields regardless if they have college degrees. The second important difference points out that it’s not only important who wrote the article but who it is written for. Scholarly articles and books are written for fellow experts in a specialized sunject area. They are also read by undergraduate and graduate students who are taking courses in that area. Because they are intended for fellow experts, scholarly articles...

...The essay is an in depth analysis of a scholarly article as well as a review of a popular media resource on sexuality. The scholarly article reviewed is titled, "Sexual knowledge, attitudes and activity of men conscripted into the military" authored by Jiankang, Chao et al. published in 2010. The study focused on experience, understanding, knowledge as well as attitudes concerning sexual activities of persons recruited in the military. According to Chao, et al, 2010 the research article's major component is knowledge, attitude, values and skills concerning sexuality. It is apparent that the fight against HIV and AIDS calls for the involved parties to adequately have enough knowledge to tackle it. Thus it is of significance to ensure that people are well equipped with the desired knowledge. The article sought after providing evidence that is needed for development of a better sex education program to be used beyond high school, an examination of sexual knowledge, attitude as well as behaviors of young men recruited in the military. Similarly, the research sought to determine if there were differences in socio-demographic characteristics between men who did, or didn't have sexual experience. The research was done by use of both secondary and primary sources of data. The desired data was collected from a group of military members in southern Taiwan between the periods of January and July 2009. The target sample was aged 18-29 years. To aid in data collection...

...Analysis of Three Empirical Articles Tracy M. Balduzzi Grand Canyon University Academic and Identity Development of Doctoral Students: A Comparative Analysis of Three Empirical Articles Education has evolved in recent decades, renewing interest for research examining identity development, critical thinking, and socialization in doctoral study. Delivery methods, diverse student populations, and varied academic programs present academia with more challenges and opportunities for creating and developing scholars. This paper will describe three articles on identity development while discussing critical thinking skills in doctoral students. The articles analyzed in this paper are (Article 1)“Socialization of Doctoral Students to Academic Norms” by Weidman and Stein (2003), (Article 2)“Developmental Networks and Learning: Toward an interdisciplinary Perspective on Identity Development during Doctoral Study” by Baker and Lattuca (2010), and (Article 3) “Critical Thinking Distance Education and Traditional Education” by Visser, Visser, and Schlosser (2003). This paper compares research questions, literature review, sample populations, limitations, and conclusions. The author will conclude with discussions on the relationship between articles and opportunities for future research. Comparison of Purpose and Research Questions Article 1 and Article 2 are similar in research questions and overall purpose; developing doctoral professional identity.
