When you are not familiar with a concept or term it is a good idea to start your research by clarifying the things you don't know. A great place to start is reference sources.
In a nutshell, these are sources that summarize information and show you the main points of a topic. For example:
Dictionaries: provide definitions of words, terms, and concepts. You can find specialized dictionaries for various topics like politics or science and technology.
Encyclopedias: Wikipedia is a popular example, but you can find specialized encyclopedias on topics like politics or history.
