Reflection

Claire＆I:

The way we find our sources is quiet interesting. Actually, both of us felt a little perplexed when we were finding the sources, so we went to the library together, taking a look at the main points of all the books which are related to affairs, and then each of us borrowed five books back to read further. And the most difficult part when we were searching the information online is inputting key words and finding proper article. In fact, we searched and read the searching results randomly, though we did have a general direction for what we were going to write, so I thought the method for finding the useful and appropriate information you want needs patient and a little fortune. However, I did not read the authors’ detailed background first after I decided to use their articles as my annotations. Therefore, when professor asked me the information about the authors like where they are from or what their occupations are, I could not answer precisely.

In my annotation 1, I wrote about different  loss which the abandoned partners need to suffer, for example losing self-identity or losing contact with others. And the annotation 2 was the hurt to children like parents' affairs would make them no longer believe in love. Our annotation 3 is going to write about the law of extramarital affair. I will do some researches on the punishment for adultery in Taiwan, and maybe I can compare it with foreign laws. Claire will try to find some countries or states which plan to legalize adultery, for example, Colorado. And about the annotation 4, we have not decided what to write so far. Professor suggested us to find some sources from scholar, which means that the information needs to be more academic, so I think Claire and I have to discuss deeply.    

I am really lucky to have Claire as my partner. Because of my poor grammar, Claire often willing to point out my mistakes and then helped me correct them. As for feedback, I will tell her where might be easily misunderstanding in her articles.

Justine＆Joselin:

Their annotations have talked about premarital cohabitation from different angles such as age, culture, economic ability and so on. And there is a point which is worth to argue is that they both found a source about economic ability to support their ideas, but the results were contradictory under the same condition. Therefore, they decided to discuss this problem in their third annotation.

Eva＆Vicky:

  Their topic is arguing that if you have a partner already, you will still allow your partner to watch adult video or not. It is a very interesting and attractive issue, and the sources they used were from famous people like洪蘭 and the professor at NCU, Chuen-Juei Ho, which would make their research be more credible. Professor also suggested them to discuss their topic from different angles, for example, the restriction of pornography in America and Europe.
