Before the inception of the internet, carrying out research for a paper needed a lot of time perusing through newspapers, encyclopedias, magazines and books at local libraries. It required a lot of time if a person was not conversant with standard card catalog files that were used in libraries. Today, research has become easier as a result of the internet. There are numerous blogs, videos and podcasts that are easily available and accessible. I will use internet sources when writing my final research paper. I found a blog that had a lot of information on childhood bullying, the subject of my final research paper. The blog entitled, Childhood Bullying Linked to Adult Psychiatric Disorders brings out the degree to which bullying is capable of affecting an individual’s mental health. According to the author, Chelsea Perugini, the victims of childhood bullying are at a higher risk of developing mental health problems at later stages in their lives. There is validity in the information given by the author since the conclusions made are based on a study that followed 1000 youth that indicated that bullying elevated the levels of mental health problems (Perugini, 2014). Another resource is a video by KidsHealth.org titled, Kids Talk About: Bullying. In this video, children are giving their thoughts and accounts on bullying. There is validity in the information provided in the video since the children captured in the video are victims of bullying. It enables one to get an in-depth understanding of bullying since they are listening to people who have experienced bullying (Kidshealth.org, 2014). Another useful source I found on the internet is a podcast by CDC entitled, Bullying prevention for kids. The podcast discusses the experiences bullying victims go through. There are also some recommendations provided in the podcast on how children can cope with bullying (Podcasts at CDC, 2012).The information in the podcast is applicable since it provides recommendations that can be applied in situations where bullying is taking place.
With the continued advancement of technology, governance is now being easily conducted beyond the nation state parameters. Web-based information has a great impact on global citizenship and multicultural understanding. It is now easy for people to access information on different nations through the internet. It provides an opportunity for individuals to learn more about the practices and values found in different regions of the world. With this information, it becomes easy for people to become part of the emerging world community as well as understand the different cultures of people.

There are various factors that have to be considered when
evaluating internet sources to be used in researching
information. One of these factors is authority whereby one has
to examine whether the page is signed by an author who has
valid qualifications. It is also important to examine whether the
3. publication or publisher has a reputation for being valid. The
other factor to look at is objectivity in that if the information
presented on the page is factual and not designed in a way that
is meant to sway opinions. Another factor to consider is the
accuracy that entails examining whether the information is free
from errors and reliable. It is important to examine if there is an
editor who verifies or checks information provided in the
source.
