I have done some of the research on the purpose of resources for today's practical session. Other than these four purposes, there are actually more. However i will only list four of them. And actually all of us search the internet for many puurposes.

These are the four purposes of resources:

Information - Information provides factual information. Information is also a source of knowledge. User gets information to help them understand. Some information can come from the Government or transportation sites. Information on the transportation helps to direct people to their destination easily.

News -
News usually comes from newspaper, broadcast or book companies. It provides information on the latest events happening all around the countries. People search for news to help them follow up with the trends of society. This helps to update them on the events that are happening recently.

Business/Marketing - People search for business on products. For example; any promotions of products, sales of products etcetera. People search for information related to businesses. Stocks market is also one of the purposes that people search for. Businessman can check the financial status of others company.

Entertainment - Entertainment provides fun for people. It provides enjoyment. Helps people to relax themselves due to work stress. Entertainment provides games, jokes, movie clips and fan information. Entertainment can be also some website that allows people to chat with one another. Others entertainment can also be online shopping etcetera.

Other than these four purposes, there are actually more. However i will only list four of them. And actually all of us search the internet for many puurposes.

Thats all for today. =)




Today as usual, the lesson is also on researching. This time round, there are different TYPES of website. There are organization, personal and subject-based. My chosen topic is 'Discuss the impact of terrorism on the world economy'.

Organication- http://www.brookings.edu/papers/2001/1024terrorism_perry.aspx
This resource talks about the war on terrorism and how it affects the world oil market and the U.S economy. September 11th causes two OPEC price shocks in the mid and late 1970s and also led to an increase in the oil prices in middle east. This has also causes the U.S economy to experience a recession.

Subject-based- http://www.state.gov/s/ct/rls/rm/8839.htm
This resource is from the U.S Department of State. It’s about the impact of Global terrorism. It says that terrorism has raises the risk and cost of doing business, Thus, this affects the business world and the world economy.

Organization- http://www.rcss.org/terrorism/atiqurrahman.pdf
The website is on the economic cost of terrorism in south Asia. the act of terrorism is very
unevenly distributed over the world in terms its nature, intensity, and coverage; its
negative impact is spread over both in the developed and the developing countries,
directly and indirectly. Terrorist activities not only discourage economic activity by
threatening the safety of life and property, it also damage the overall investmentenvironment of a country by creating turmoil and anarchy.

Personal- http://voxbaby.blogspot.com/2006/08/disconnect-between-terrorism-and.html
It talks about disconnect between terrorism and economies. Although terrorism's damage has paled before the larger effect, which is not much. It hasn't destroyed prosperity or cross-border flows of goods, money and people. The terrorists do not appear to have the reduction of prosperity, commerce, or international trade as their key objectives.

After this lesson, i have learnt the different TYPES of website. And not all the information in the website are the same. Some are individual, some are from government, some are based on facts. I find it very useful for researching information. And after today, i realised that there is blogsearch. Now this makes me easier to research as i know what kind of information i know can be found in which type of website. =)
