EIR students started on their first research endeavour during week 2 as they began searching for resources based on their research topic given. Students learnt to differentiate and categorised websites according to the different purposes of websites by reading about the interesting stories published by these websites.
Advocacy websites, for example, publish stories aimed at creating public awareness and garnering public support on certain issues like human rights. We learnt to count our blessings and appreciate better what we have as we read about the touching and eye-opening human rights violation stories of the sufferings and plight of fellow human beings in other parts of the world like Africa and Middle East.
We also learnt about the latest developments and current events surrounding the financial crisis in Greece from the news websites. Entertainment websites always make us happy with the juicy gossips of celebrities, funny jokes and wonderful updates of the movies and songs.
Indeed the lessons this week have been thought-provoking yet enriching and meaningful. The lessons ended with us yearning for more intriguing news and stories. Welcome to the wonderful world of research!
