If you are confused about an issue, which of the following strategies is MOST effective? Try writing about your confusion. Copy/paste the views of another author. Go looking for more sources. Pick another research topic.
Go looking for more sources is the option. Writing about something you're confused about is not a good choice. Plagiarism is never the right answer. And picking another research topic is not always a possibility and it's nonsensical to just give up on your original topic.
