Part II: Evaluating Sources Final Reflection:

After completing your research, write an in-depth paragraph (a minimum of 200 words) that analyzes the data presented in the video. How many of the facts you researched were actually correct (or in the ballpark)? Does the data in the video present a reasonable statistical picture of the United States in 2012? Explain your analysis. Use the evidence from your research to support your analysis.

Directions:
1. Read disclaimer first. Either watch the video or read the transcript of the video.
2. Select 5 pieces of information (listed below) from the video to research.
3. Use the college’s available databases, .gov sites, and .edu sites to locate data that either verifies or disproves the information
provided in the video. You may also use reliable news sources such as the New York Times, The Washington Post, The
Economist, BBC, NPR, etc. to verify your information.
4. Locate at least two valid sources that verify that the information in the video is either correct or incorrect, then complete the
attached table by including all of the bibliographic information about the resources you used to check your data.
