Zeitgeist
In my own understanding, zeitgeist is a
particular style, feel, or ways of a particular time or generation. Scholars
would define it as “general beliefs, ideas, and spirit of a time and place
(m.webster).” Design in relation to the zeitgeist comes through as zeitgeist
reveals personality of design in details that breakthrough overtime.
Information found on the zeitgeist was mostly about design or anything that involves timelines or generations that lead to improvements of art, design and technology today.
It is hard enough to find a reliable source on the internet, especially the first couple of sites have no reliable sources at all. For instance, if a terminology is taken from a site that has no reliable source or date and used, its considered as an unreliable source, therefore, the term might have come from anyone and could be a lie.
Basically a good source has names of authors; dates published and includes titles that are very specific on what one is looking for, and that's what i've discovered through my research.
Context can also be very helpful; for instance, imagine two stories viewed out in front of you, same topic, one explains it all but you have no idea where it came from, in other words, no source. The other story does the same thing but this it includes the writer. The one without a name wouldn't help at all and is taken as irrelevant. This also applies when it comes to in-text referencing.
Key words also play a great role when you're trying to find relevant research, for example, if you were searching for the history of something, always be specific, for instance 'the history of zeitgeist,' specifying the keywords 'zeitgeist history' will truly help one to find exactly what they are looking for otherwise one would struggle if they only searched 'zeitgeist.' It would take a lot of digging just to find what they need.
