Assignment 4: Part 3

Research question.
9/11: The Truth Movement

Reflection.
My reflection on this research question comes to no surprise that there are many different views and beliefs about this topic and that there is many different ways one could inquiry about this topic. I found that in thinking about the worst attack on the United States in the history of our country, wasn't a walk in the park. There are different feelings that come up and much confusion. Where this attacks acts of terrorism, or where they acts brought on by our own government? To think this much about 9/11 makes me restless and uneasy. I can see this topic leading me to many "opinions" and not facts, because almost everything about 9/11 was covered up and/or destroyed. What I do know is that I am incredibly interested with this topic and would like to see where it "actually" takes me.

Summary/Reflection:The initial searches have lead me to many popular, but one-sided websites that have there view and do not list or speak of any other. Meaning the first couple websites I viewed were biased to one cause and only that cause, which was conspiracy 100 percent. After looking deeper I found some sites that offered both views and didn't attempt to make one better or "right" than the other; in other words, they could be considered as credible. Those will be the ones I will examine further and try to make out the best aspects of inquired text I can possibly find and go from there. The information I found was overwhelming but if I carefully focus on key words and inquired text, I believe I will be able to pick the best factors for/against the conspiracy of 9/11. I think I need to find some videos and maybe news or government websites and look to see how different they describe this "conspiracy theory" and if it is credible material or not.
