CONCLUSION
78
In conclusion, we learned many new things such the art of finding facts. From that,
we can improve our skills especially in finding the right answer followed step by step. Moreover,
while doing this task, we gained a wealth of additional knowledge for instance, the effects of
global warming, the normal blood pressure on healthy adults, the term use for biscuits by the
American and much more that could help us expand our knowledge. Besides that, we also
learned to analyze our information needs and finds, evaluating and use the appropriate
information. This is because the sheer volume of information on the internet makes it more
difficult to determine which information is reliable. As the terms 'truth of truth', 'fake news', and
'alternative facts' become more and more common in social discourse and public space, so it is
important for us to develop the skills to critically evaluate information. Last but not least, we
hope our assignment can be an inspiration to others.
