Searching and Appraising Literature

When conducting a literature review, what are the steps you should you take to successfully search the evidence? Once you have generated your results, how do you properly appraise the evidence, grade them, and select the ones you want to use?

 

Searching and Appraising Literature

When conducting a literature review, the goal is to produce a set of results that match your search criteria. The results you get will vary dramatically depending on the search engine(s) you utilize and which key words you choose to enter. Selecting the right database(s) is one skill; selecting the best key words is another. In this Assignment, you will hone your skills in both of these important aspects of the search process.Searching and Appraising Literature

Keep in mind, the results of your search will vary in terms of quality, as well as appropriateness, and significance to your research goals. For this reason, searching is only the first step of the process. The second step is to appraise the results you identified, and based on your evaluations, select the literature that you will select.

The Patriarchy System

Throughout history, men have typically held more power than women in societies around the world. This system is called patriarchy. In recent years, historians have become very interested in studying patriarchy and how it has affected people’s lives. Some key questions historians are trying to answer include:

 

The Patriarchy System

· How did patriarchy start and change over time?

· What were women’s experiences like under patriarchy?

· What opportunities and limitations did women have?

· How did different cultures define gender roles for men and women?

· Were some women able to resist unfair treatment or take on non-traditional roles?

Studying these questions can be challenging because we don’t have many historical documents written by women, especially from long ago. Most of the writings we do have from women are from upper-class ladies. This means historians often have to carefully examine documents written by men and try to figure out women’s perspectives from those.

Choose one of the following civilizations we have looked at this semester. Ancient Egypt, Greece, Aztec, Ming, or Ottoman.

For your Chosen Civilization consider the following.

  1. How did women push back      against unfair treatment in these ancient societies? Can you spot any      early signs of feminist ideas or actions that remind you of modern women’s      rights movements?
  2. Did women in these old      societies sometimes agree with or accept the male-dominated system? Why do      you think they might have done this?
  3. If you could time travel and      live as a woman in your civilization choice, do you think you would be      happy? Is it fair to judge these old societies by our modern standards?      What are the pros and cons of looking at history this way?
