Second lesson

Hi there,
On my second lesson of EIR, everyone in class have to choose a topic to research on. I've chosen the topic on the impact of peer pressure on youths behaviour. The objectives of this lesson is that expose us to different ways of looking up for information on the web. 

Usually when most of us are told to do research on the web, we would just "google it" not knowing which type of internet resources are most useful to our project. Thus this lesson teachers me how to effectively look for information on the web.

I've learnt that different internet resources like organisational website, blogs, magazine/journal and discussion forum provides us with different types of informations that we needed. For example, looking for information through forums expose us to different people's views and past experiences from different places all at the same time. On the other hand, looking for information through online magazine or journal provides us with clear facts rather than views and past experiences from forums .

The reason that i've chosen peer pressure on youths behaviour is to understand the advantages and disadvantages of peer pressure on youths. As a young adult i understand that peer pressure is inevitable in everyone's life thus understanding the advantages and disadvantages of peer pressure will help me in future.
