BLOG # 2

A literature review can be considered a summary of previous researched articles/ reports of topics that you want to discuss. Oftentimes people find themselves wanting to put emphasizes on a matter that is of interest to them. A literature review gives us the opportunity to highlight significant and sometimes debatable issues. However, to complete a literature review you should be prepared to read and cross reference previous work on the subject. The thought of this particular assignment can be intimidating. But if you allow yourself some time to focus and follow the basic steps, you will be successful to completing a literature review. I believe that I have what it takes to work the two steps that I just mentioned. As social work students, we are often allowed to work on issues that particularly matters to us and I consider this an advantage. The strength that I would build upon in completing a literature review is included in the image posted below. As I mentioned earlier in this BLOG (you must summarize). You build up on the work that previous researchers have achieved and add to the chain. Thus creating a path for everyone a chance to make it to top of this research mountain.
