Reflections for EIR 2nd lesson!

The second lesson of EIR was interesting as we got to learn about different type of search facilities. According to the list online, there are 4 categories which are organisational website, blog, magazine/journal and discussion forum. From my research, i found out that due to the organisational website always provide the most accurate details, with pictures and statistics due to the fact that they have a reputation to maintain so if i were to do a research, i would always go organisational website for information as it provides me with the most information. We all know that blogs are very personal. It is a platform for people who wants to express their opinions online as we know that different people have different perspective views. Normally blogs are link from one to another. As for magazines, they are rather detailed and it often comes with pictures however i feel that it is not as accurate as organisational websites. Lastly, a discussion forum is a forum whereby people from all over the world come to discuss and give feedback about certain things thus i feel that if you are buying products or electronic stuffs, you should visit forums to know what other people feedback about it first.

Each of us is suppose to choose a topic for our portfolio. I haven chosen to do a research on the impact of peer pressure on youth behaviours. I have chosen this topic because i find it interesting as most of us, during our youth has fallen to peer pressure by our peers before be it good or bad. So i would like to share about how peer pressure actually affect and changes our life.

I benefitted a lot from this week EIR lesson , hopefully next week will even be a better one! :D
