Literature Review

for each article, you should examine  (a) the theories that have been applied in the research on your topic thus far; (b) the methodologies used in this same research; (c) the main conclusions of the research, including disagreements among authors. (d) explain what the research you reviewed does not tell us, that your research will address; and (e) the theoretical framework you will use to guide your data collection and analysis. Are there variables that may be important in explaining the phenomenon, that have not yet been included in the research so far? Is there a particular method that has not been applied in the research, that may shed fresh insight into the issue? Please use OWN words. Using 7 peer-reviewed sources, that include original empirical research. The discussion of the research should be organized thematically. In other words, do not just summarize each article, one by one, without drawing key connections and distinctions between them. Instead, identify, compare and contrast the similarities and differences in the arguments, theories and methodologies of the different authors before you begin writing. Then, organize the paragraphs according to each theme/idea. More than one source should be discussed in each paragraph.
