Q&A
1. Given the CRQ and topic, the following are the types of secondary sources that could be used.
This research will include information that is gathered from secondary sources; specifically, peer-reviewed journals. In addition, I will explore the opinions of South Africans that have been posted on social media, magazines and newspapers. The latter forms of sources provide information that was gathered from other possible primary sources; people who have experienced or witnessed the irregular employment processes and their impact in increasing the high unemployment rate among Black university graduates in South Africa. For example, Twitter has been one of the most easily accessible sources in which Black graduates beg for employment.
2. The process that could be used in finding and collecting these sources
The process for gathering secondary information requires that I collect data from the identified and above-listed sources, analyse and criticise the data in relation to the topic, and recommend further research should there be a need. Similarly, I will report the findings, which have to show the importance of following a correct methodology. When doing so, I will have to give evidence that these sources are credible. For example, I will have to show how Twitter is relevant, credible, bias-free and current for my project.
3. How would these kinds of sources be useful for me?
The identified sources will be useful in supporting the information that will be received from the primary sources. In addition, they will show that the topic is relevant because someone else has reported on it before. Thus, also indicating to the government of South Africa that the issue is serious and urgent.
4. Why? [In relation to point 3]
In order to have a positive impact, one must be able to provide valid and reliable information. I am confident that the information obtained from the sources will start intelligent conversations that lead to an applaudable resolution. For example, Peer reviewed journals go through a lengthy scholarly approval before being published. This process proves that the reliability of the information is high and that the information was analysed in a thorough manner.
