Using the Correct Sources

1) Is a vegetarian diet healthier than a meat-based diet?

I think this is a very controversial subject, and it really depends on what you are eating, so doing a lot of research with a variety of media is very crucial.

their CD's sold in Target stores. Is this censorship?

plagiarism?
I think people, magazines, and academic journals or databases are good sources for this topic. Since this is based on fact and opinion it's good to use a variety of media.

warming?
This is a good topic to use news papers, news websites, and magazines. Since the information is current it's best to utilize current news.
