Exorcism, Wikipedia, & Britannica – Oh my!

Our task was to examine an entry into three different mediums. The topic of examination was exorcism and we researched this term through a hardback encyclopedia, an online encyclopedia, and Wikipedia. We all have a perception that what we read in an encyclopedia is true. Similarly, a any believe that what is found in the user-edited sphere on Wikipedia must be doubted. However, it’s hard to dismiss the relevance of a entry like this one that contained perceived citations, in-depth discussion, and a wholistic approach to exorcism’s presence in many religious traditions.
