Websites And Progress

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late-2000s_recession

This is about the current recession that not just the world, but U.S. is in. This site I think is good for my research because although it’s Wikipedia and that’s not exactly a quality source I can get into an overview of the recession and the common causes or factors that have led the U.S. and it’s people into the recession.

http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/national/20050515_CLASS_GRAPHIC/index_01.html

This website doesn’t give direct information, but more of a interactive program and helps to show what type of people are in each socioeconomic level and then what people of those areas care most about. This will help me to see the different important aspects in order to see how much a recession would affect a person.

http://www.pittsburghfoodbank.org/about/

This website gives the information about the greater food bank of Pittsburgh. This organization is the main food bank that people of Pittsburgh use so I can use the information about how many people the organization helps and what exactly they do at all. I can also use this website for other websites of food banks that collect food for people in Pittsburgh.

http://ezinearticles.com/?Social-Class-in-America&id=924658

This article is relevant source because it gives more detail about social classes which gives similar information to the New York Times program on social classes and levels as well as giving more detail than what most people think of the 3 basic levels of rich, middle, and poor.

http://recession.org/definition

This organization is a wonderful source. It provides a detailed definition for what exactly a recession is and how people see a recession. Also, beyond the recession information it gives the information about news articles that talk about the recession as well as the recession’s affect on people, jobs, and the economy in general.

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/726732--recession-s-toll-seen-in-record-food-bank-spike

This website leads to a newspaper article written in November of 2009 giving statistics about people that use food banks and how the recession has made that increase need or use of food banks. This will help my reasoning for the food bank use and food drive.

http://www.clpgh.org

This website is the link to the Allegheny County Libraries where I can access the ebesco business database that gives articles and such on the economy and recession. This I’ll be able to use to find articles on the different questions like how the recession has affected people or what the cause was.

PROGRESS:

So, I've found about 7 websites that i know will be able to use some part of them in order to get answers to my questions, but also they may be able to lead me to articles and journals of professionals that will help me research.

I have 7 which means I still need about 3 or more websites which means I still need to continue research, but I've still found 3 websites today which means that I've made progress. After I finish finding at least 10 websites I'll be able to go back and actually start reading and researching the information to my questions and organizing what I have so far.
