Literature Review

 Module 2, Module 2, Module 2-why do you hate me so?

- I call this a poem about Module 2 so far haha, i hope you enjoyed it!

I'm currently a bit stuck on my Literature Review so have taken to my blog to see if anyone else from my module or module 3, or even some crazy amazing module 1s could help shed some light on it.

I think the bit that I'm struggling with most is the 'different perspectives' on my topic. As my topic is to do with negative impacts on your mental health, it's very easy to find literature to support this, but I'm finding it a lot harder to find literature saying 'mental health is a myth' 'people are just getting weaker' all these different perspectives to my own. Someone made the brilliant point of looking up the 'Snowflake Generation' which I really love and really works with my inquiry, but then I come to another issue...

I read somewhere, probably in the handbook, that we should check our sources, ensure they're not bias or something along those lines. However, surely within this topic it is mostly all opinions and therefore all a bias? In regards to the 'Snowflake' topic, I found a few articles but they're published by the likes of the Daily Mail etc. so I don't know whether I can include it as it's one person's opinion, if you get what i mean? I really hope you do! 

I have however found a book called 'I Find That Offensive' - Fox, C, that seems to be just that! a reputable source with the opinion that we're all too sensitive! woohoo! BUT that's just one book and we apparently need AT LEAST 3 on each perspective? I wondered if anyone else had any ideas or suggestions on whether I'm thinking too much into this or ways round what I'm saying, if what I'm saying makes sense!!

A question for any module 3s out there, if you could please help me!? When writing your review I have a few questions that I've been told to blog about, to see if you can answer :)

So as we have in the literature review template a section of research methods, I assume we have to include this in our written essay on it? however then it makes me question the perspectives bit again, so do we have to write about 3 books (at least) on each research method that we find interesting, because it just seems like an awful lot to me to be done in 1000 words if i'm interested in say 3 research methods? or is that where I'm getting confused?

I'd also like to ask what the handbook means by an overview of the most established artists/scholars in my field, because I know for a fact that the most established artists in my field have not written anything on my topic and therefore aren't mentioned in my review :( 

Overall I'm very confused and I just need someone to cuddle me, stroke my head and tell me everything is going to be okay :'( 

But in every other way I'm doing good! 

Keep Smiling xx
