Mr. Marsh has a stack of information that he has gathered for his historical-comparative research study, and several ideas and theories are beginning to emerge
He notices that he has primary and secondary sources that clearly conflict with each other on one of the topics with which he has the most interest. Should he "skip" the topic altogether? What if he wants to pursue the topic, what should he do?
What will be an ideal response?
Mr. Marsh needs to evaluate his sources using external and internal criticism. If after evaluating the sources he still has conflicting information, he should look for additional information to collaborate the documents that he has. Perhaps there will not be a resolution. In this case, as an ethical researcher, he will ensure that both points are
represented in his final report.
