For my next blog, I will choose two internet sources for my chosen topic and compare the two, how one is better than the other and how you can reject them based on subtle differences.
We need to find who authorized the site, what their authority on it is, who published it, what's their authority on it, the purpose of the site, motives for publishing the site, who the intended audience is, and what the objective of the site is, is it treated fairly.
http://www.greekmythology.com/
http://www.theoi.com/
The first site is more of a "sell to students" type website that prays to those who need free essays, research papers, college essays, school essays. It is purely a commercial use website.
The first website treats the subject as more of a commercial site,and is more of a website with no authorized user, no name of a professional. With that then, there is no authorized user and thus no one who really published it. The purpose of this site is more a cheat sheet to students, offering them to pay for research papers made about Greek mythology. The intended audience is more those who haven't done any research on their own and need a quick paper to turn in without any research. Desperate people, especially students. The motive for publishing the site is to cheat college students out of learning on their own. As a result, it's not treated fairly.
The 2nd site however, though it isn't .com, is an educational site, created by Aaron J. Atsma as a certified user, and publisher, hence the Theoi Project title and in association with Amazon, a certified site, though a profit making one. Though there is no info on the creator of the site, there is a certified bibliography on site for educational purposes, which is the main objective of this site. The intended audience is those who love classic mythology, hence the style of the page, and who love researching this stuff, especially those interested in Greek mythology. The site is treated very fairly as a result.
