Practical 2; Introduction to Internet Resources: Categories of Internet Resources 2

For practical 2, I was given a task to research on the topic which I have chosen; impact of terrorism on the world economy. To search for the results, I have chose two search engines namely YAHOO! and GOOGLE.

The keywords that I used while searching are impact of terrorism and also terrorism on world economy. Other than that, I was also tasked to categorise my search results into three types; Organisation, Subject-Based and Personal.

• ORGANISATION
  http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2005/wp0560.pdf
  &
  http://www.oecd.org/dataoecd/11/60/1935314.pdf
  It displays International Monetary Fund's (IMF) analysis on the different effects of terrorism on the world economy. I would say that this is a very good analysis of IMF as all the possible impacts are clear and concise.
  
  
  On the other hand, the second website discusses the economic conequences on terrorism. I do think this document is reliable looking at how the analysis is being done.
  
  
• PERSONAL
  This is a forum site which discusses on terrorism itself. I did look through a few pages of the site and found out that there are a lot of comments from individuals regarding terrorism. This site is somehow good as it features people's opinions on a certain topic which in this case is, terrorism.
  
  
• SUBJECT-BASED
  As for this subject based result, it is a news taken from a media website where the impact of terrorism was being examined. This goes to show how much terrorism is already a big part of the world and also economy.
  
  
  Overall, i think that all the results that I have found are reliable. However, the most reliable and useful is the organisation as thorough analysis was being made before producing such comments, opinions and facts.
