Adventurous travelers may see their journey as an investigative effort to identify landmarks on their expedition. Similarly, evaluation is an investigative effort that attempts to identify the landmarks of merit, worth, and significance. Before fully refining the focus of any investigation—or research—individuals should attempt to determine the current state of affairs in their area of interest.</p
Researchers attempt to establish merit, worth, and significance applicable to other researchers, practitioners, and the body of knowledge. One of the most common ways to accomplish this is to conduct a literature review. A literature review allows one to take a “snapshot” of the established knowledge in a particular area. Using this snapshot, researchers can determine the merit of their research questions and how they may need to modify their research goals.
For this Assignment, you conduct a review of literature relevant to the case you selected and the goals you developed in Week 5.
To prepare:
• Locate a minimum of six full-text research articles to use in your literature review. You can include the two articles from the Discussion post.
Write a 2- to 3-page literature review that addresses the following:
• Synthesize the findings in the literature as they relate to the case you selected and goals you developed in Week 5.
• Explain the original conclusions that you derived from the evidence you gathered.
• Support your synthesis and conclusions using evidence from the literature.

Sample Solution

The British electoral system was unrepresentative and outdated because education was lacking. The public did not have input. They knew little about politics prior to generalised literacy, which opened access to see holes in the system. Add to this any type of secret society being illegal, and the possibility that laws were put in place to prevent protest, seems evermore likely. As without such activist groups, how can a protest be arranged? Mass education is the direct answer to all of the above, and literacy is the direct vehicle of information.

Luddite Movement

The Luddites functioning from 1811-1816, are an earlier example of protest towards the Industrial Revolution. A group of Nottingham workers met in private, planning to destroy machinery. They felt their skills for the crafts they had learned and mastered were being forgotten, as machines replaced labour. The physical way in which the Luddites functioned did not require literacy, yet they generated a large following, this was in part due to the amount of attention vandalising machines would receive, in the form of reward posters, that unintentionally advertised the movement. Though it must be mentioned, the Luddites did write threatening letters to officials and factory owners.

This physical approach of protest however, did not work in their favour as the hostility was eventually met by military force. Luddites being shot by factory owners was also a frequent occurrence. The motives behind the Luddites were radical, if they were politically inclined instead, they might have been more successful. In addition to the development of protest towards the industrial revolution, this also represents the drastic and violent response of the government.
