You already reflected on your own habits and practices of seeking out informatio

You already reflected on your own habits and practices of seeking out information. This week you watched Eli Pariser’s TED Talk “Beware Online ‘Filter Bubbles.'” (Links to an external site.) The main challenge is that filter bubbles prove why we are right and demonstrate why the other side is clearly wrong (many of you wrote about this idea in the discussion of Lil B’s The Age of Information. In this discussion, write a short response (about 100 words) that either discusses how you have encountered filter bubbles in the past OR how you plan to navigate an information ecosystem that is seemingly designed to prevent you from seeing the full picture. Respond to one other student.
Your initial post is worth 8 points and your response is worth 2.
i will provide you with two classmates discussions and you will need to reply on them with saying hi and praise their discussions with few wrods

Find a peer reviewed research article that investigates in some way the variable

Find a peer reviewed research article that investigates in some way the variable of happiness. This must be a research study or experiment–not a review of material. Use the headings
Research question/hypothesis, Methods, Variables, Findings, Discussion, “So What”
The research can look at the global population, certain groups or cultures of people, happiness by sex or age.
You cannot use a research article that someone else has uploaded so make sure you check before you choose an article. The first person to put a specific research article up, will be the only person to use that article. It must be research so it will have a research question or hypothesis, there will be a methods section, a population of interest, a results section and a discussion section. Include in your overview the issue the research is investigating, the research question or hypothesis, the population being studied, what variables were studied and what they found in the results. The last item–the “so what”— you will add is your opinion of the value of the research and what it adds to the discussions of the science of happiness. Do this write up as thoroughly as possible for the best grade.
Put the reference for the research article in APA format at the top of your post. Check Purdue Owl if you don’t know how to format a research article citation in APA–it is very clearly explained there. The link for this can be found in this unit.
