Week 1: Discussion 2

It was a challenge accessing the needed articles and integrating them together. I had to search every article and explore it individually as a way of mastering it before moving on to the next so that coherence was made possible. Future research should be based on factual aspects of the study as I identified differently from the different sources encountered.
