1) What was old information?
This is the background information on a particular topic that provides the latter’s context. It is through the old information that the researcher gets to understand the research subject and its importance. Scholarly researchers that have looked into the research subject do present this old information which becomes a fundamental base for the researcher to build upon their research.
2) What was new information?
This is information that has never been presented within the research field. The new information has been developed from the utilization of the old information in a new and creative way to lead to the generation of new concepts, perspectives, methodologies, and even understandings. Previous research could be synthesized and analyzed to the extent that it brings forth new outcomes that have not been ventured into. A presentation of new information requires the use of the right cues in order to ensure that the audience captures and understands it, considering they are hearing it for the first time.
3) What is causing you grief?
Currently, I am grieving the death of a loved one who has been an essential part of my life, especially in terms of growth. This was a person that has been part and parcel of my life endeavors, and their input was very fundamental. Therefore, losing them at a very early age when we were working on our dreams took a toll on me since I have lost a considerable part of myself in life. The grief has caused me to be preoccupied with the loss that I lose focus on doing what I am supposed to do and an inability to experience joy, especially when remembering the good times we created.
