This week, we worked on annotated bibliography. For this assignment, we needed to find seven different sources. Personally, I found 2 additional sources and added them to my five original ones that I used for source analysis. However, I still had some difficulties as I tried to find the primary sources. One of the sources I saw while searching was definitely a primary source on food additive. It's a safety evaluation on food additives at the 36th meeting of the Joint FAO/WHO. Except for one obstacle. It is more 600 pages. I didn't want to include sources that I can't read completely or throughout. Fortunately, I found another sources that is just like our chemistry lab report. This source is about an experiment that was done on kids, ages 3 and 8/9, to see how food additives effect their behavior. This source is also very long compared to my other sources but still is readable. It is also very interesting and the finding of the experiment contradicts my other sources. While searching for sources in the Google database, I found about 5 different newspaper articles that have same topic. All of them are about the affect that food additives have on children's behavior, causing them to be hyperactive. My mind is not very made up right now since the newspaper articles are from reliable news sources like the New York Times, The Herald Tribune, the Seattle Times, and Boston Globe. On the other hand, the experiment was done by the school of psychology of University of Southampton and Imperial College’s Department of Paediatrics. I'm glad there is finally something that is contradicting to most of my research findings, letting me to think more about the topic rather than just making up my mind immediately.
