As I continue my research, I have discovered a website that will be of great benefit to me for this independent study. The site is part of the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada webpage, entitled “Natural Disasters and Risk Reduction.” For my thesis to be successful, I will have to cite indisputable facts regarding Canada’s response to natural disasters abroad. This site contains comprehensive information regarding the issue including what means the government uses, how long it takes them to respond, the role of specific departments, objectives and many more. Interestingly enough, there is an entire section devoted to the documentation Canada’s assistance in the aftermath of key natural disasters that must be updated frequently, as it now has a page regarding the recent Central Italy earthquake.
The validity of this source is extremely strong. An official government website must include accurate information, and though I would not be surprised to find bias, I feel that I can professionally asses the information and draw rational conclusions. From what I have read so far, I am pleased to see that the Canadian government has been spreading our socialistic viewpoint in its foreign aid.
Ultimately, I feel as though this source will be essential in proving my thesis. Balancing this practical assessment of natural disasters with the emotional side I learned about in Cooper’s novel, I believe that I should be able to create a successful argumentative essay.
