Some Resources

Well, I've been doing a lot of research online... Here's my resources that I've found to be useful.

These are decent for now, Here are some videos online that I've found as well.

Next Steps!

As you all know by now, I have decided to pick the topic of religion, the differences between the Shiite's and Sunni's. I have close to no knowledge of these two groups, but I'm up for the challenge! 
 
So my next steps should be the following:

• Find fallible resources on both religions. 
• Learn the basics of both religions.
• Find dramatic differences between the two religions. 
•  Find the historical differences between the two religions and whether or not there's been substantial conflicts between these two religions.
• Explain why these conflicts arouse.
• Take a look at the technological advances between religion systems.
• Determine if these changes are positive or negative and explain.

I'm going to hit YouTube, Google, and Wikipedia hard to see what I can learn. I really have my work cut out for me as I literally have to learn two brand new religions (or at least get a competent idea of them to ensure accuracy). Not only this, I need to determine the differences all in a short period of time... This is going to suck!

Not enough coffee in the world!

         There's just absolutely not enough coffee in front of me right now to keep me up. It's already 12:38am and I have not found solid resources for my research paper. I literally have to learn two entire religions accurately in order for this to work... I was not expecting this. My fifth cup of coffee is just making my stomach hurt and my heart palpitate harder...

         Wikipedia has great information, all I need in fact, but the last time I used it I was told it wasn't a "liable" source. I get that many people contribute to it, but man, they are on point! Anyway, I'm beat and am calling it a night due to class in the AM.

The Great Start!!

I have chosen the topic of Religion! This should be interesting as I'm sure I will get some facts wrong. The Shiite and Sunni are both very interesting religions and I can't wait to have a solid understanding of them. Being a nation who's been at war for decades and waring over religion the subject packs a punch. Let's see what I can find for this research paper!
