Democrats and Republicans positions in the "fiscal cliff" differ because they have completely differnt views on how to fix it. Democrats belive that the government should raise taxes on the rich. However, the republicans think different. They want the Government to limit deductions so they can raise federal revenue. Though, some republicans agree with president Obama and his democratic party. They believe that raiseing taxes on the rich will fix the "fiscal cliff."
The research strategies on Google helped greatly. I mostly used the reading level which i put to basic and also by date. By doing this, it gave me websites that were posted about a week and so gave me a perspective on what is most recently happening rather than reading what happened a while before which might have changed. Also, by putting it to basic reading level, it was easier for me to understand all the political talk. What didint help me was the dictionary strategy. I tried to look up the defintion of the fiscal cliff and gave me nothing. All these strategies were new to me and they helped me in a very positive way. I will apply these strategies to my research by doing what they latest posts are and reading level to basic so things could be easier and faster to understand.
