Assignment 4: Encyclopedia and Wikipedia

1.Encyclopedias gives a fundamental and fast understaning of issues in general but on the other hand those informations are not detailed.(shallow). Also there are no futher sources that support information obtained from the encyclopedia cupled with the fact that those availble information in them have no specific authors.
     Wikipedia is very easy and fast to access online. It goes straight forward to the topic and they bring out more current articles. Some weak points about wikipedia  is that it is a free encyclopedia therefore ,some informations on them may not be stable because people will keep adding their own view and make changes to some information but not all ,so it will really need one to bring out time to evaluate some wikipedia to determine how reliable they are interms of publishers and currency. Also wikipedia is good on providing information about events and new technology but is not  very good on controversial issues.
2. I found two print encyclopedias in my library catalog prostitution through advance search.
3. I found two E-encyclopedia through advaned search.
4. I think  that print encyclopedia will be more appropriate for my research because it is recognized by a group of people who  came up with information and also have a good knowledge about them. Unlike wikipedia some information might be biased especially on my topic that is controversial.

Assignment 5: My Population

 1.My assumpions about this poulations has really changed because through research i have been able to find out that some  people being prostitute is not their whole desire. Some people specifically, are victims of circumstances such as early childhood  unsafe sexual practice like rape,psychological disorders.All these can  contribute to predisposing factors for prostiution.
2 My question now about these volunerable population is : what are the ways to manage factors that can dispose innocent victims to unintented prostitution in early childhood.
3 I' ve been able to find out different factors that leads to female prostitution, general knowlegde about prostiution ,and several implications of prostitution in females.
