The Debate Over Puerto Rican Independence The Hunter College Libraries provide an opportunity to access a wide range of databases that focus on various spheres. They allow obtaining information from magazines, newspapers, and research articles. For this assignment, I made a decision to utilize The New York Times database and found an article that relates to my topic. Taking into consideration the fact that the selected issue is tightly related to politics, I presupposed that I can benefit from newspaper articles more than from research works or books. The selected database is well-known and reliable, so I selected it for this assignment.
