Finding, Evaluating, and Processing Information

There is many reasons to be a Yankees fan. With proper research anyone can determine the achievement this particular team has accomplished. Looking up the Yankees history is not hard to do nowadays. With technology like the Internet it is a blast when looking for the research. 1. Plan your research- Find out exactly what you need to save time. 2. Locate the data and information you need- Use the information to get your point across. 3. Process the data and information you located-Form and use the information in a organized fashion to get out your message. 4.Apply your findings- Summarize the important data to draw conclusions based on what you've learned. 5. Manage information effectively- Use the data effectively to save time and money. Keeping ethics and etiquette's in your research is also very important. If a fan is trying to convince another fan who's team is better, name calling is not considered good etiquette's. Instead, try convincing with facts. For example, instead of saying "your team sucks", a better approach would be saying " your team stands in last place" this is a way of saying they suck without resorting to name calling. Also, maintaining your composer when a team wins or loses is another form of ethics when it comes to sportsmanship. No needs to be a sour loser if their teams loses or being an obnoxious bragger when their teams win. It's just best to take the sport for what it is, just a game.
