[|Historyworld.net] is a site that covers almost all of world history. The creator of the site ([|Bamber Gascoigne] ) has hundreds of books and sites cited in his bibliography. He was also a Commonwealth Fund Scholar at Yale. One of the main resources that he used to make this site was the Encyclopedia Britannica, which is a very trusted source worldwide. The article from this site that I used specifically was titled “History of Slavery”, and from this document, I got an idea about when the idea of slavery began, and where it was first practiced. The article covered the history of the slaves in Babylon up to the American Civil War. I don’t think that this site is very biased, because the author (Bamber Gascoigne) is stating mostly facts. ======

==== This source is from Harvard.edu. This shows that it is reliable because Harvard is a very respected university (it's in the Ivy League), and they would only teach their students information that they can trust. This book, or article, focuses on the troubles that children with parents of two different races have to face many different problems. The authors of this essay (Roland G. Fryer, Lisa Kahn, Jörge L. Spenkuch, and Levitt D. Steven) interviewed and talked to nine different students who attended Harvard and who belonged to the "mixed race", and talked to a few other people about the subject as well. They looked at many other sources, and wrote about those, too. I don't think that this source is biased because it interviewed people of many different "races", and with the opinions of all these different people, it would have difficult to write with a bias. ====

==== This site is a site from Washington State University, and it was written by Richard Hooker. Washington State University is also a well known university, and Richard Hooker has written many documents about history, many of which are displayed on the website of Washington State University. At the beginning, it has an introduction telling what Hammurabi’s Code actually is, and then it goes down to list all of the laws from Hammurabi’s Code (282 laws). It credits L.W. for translating the codes. This is a reliable site because Washington State University is a respected school, therefore, the information that they post is most likely correct information. This site is not biased at all because the author is just sharing what was said in Hammurabi’s Code, and he is not writing anything that could be opinionated. ====

Student at Bryn Mawr College. "Race as An Illusion: What Determines Race?." // Serendip // . 11/12/2007. Serendip, Web. 28 Oct. 2009. < [] >.
==== This is an article, written by a student at Bryn Mawr College and titled Race as an Illusion: What Determines Race? It's not definite that everything in this article is completely correct, but he has cited many websites, so probably the majority of the information is correct and supported. It talks about when the idea of race was established, and why people created it. It was written by a student at Bryn Mawr College, who posted his work online under the name of ekoike. The student has cited many reliable cites. Serendip is a site where students from Bryn Mawr College can submit their essays and others can learn from them. Serendip does not pride itself on being "authoritative", but since this subject is not really fact, this article is a good resource for me to use. This article may be biased, but I didn't necessarily use it to get facts- I used it to see what other people's ideas are. ==== = back =
