The Culture of Turkey

         <http://www.everyculture.com/To-Z/Turkey.html#ixzz3NsazFxYN>.

I decided to use this website as a source for its extensive detail about many different aspects of Turkish Culture. It had very detailed explanations of Turkey’s food, economy, family life, and agriculture.  The author’s perspective is clearly informative and unbiased. His sole purpose is to inform, not persuade or entertain. It also provided visual aid a well as sources for all of its information.

 

Sommer, Peter. "Turkish Folk Traditions." Cultural Traditions of Turkey. N.p., n.d. Web. 05 Jan.

         2015. <http://www.petersommer.com/turkey-travel-country/turkey-traditions/>.

I decided to use this website as a source because it is a travel site and gives valuable information about the Folk Culture of Turkey. The author is trying to sell turs biut I feel like the information was still factual and accurate, it just focused on the positive and traditions that are still practiced today; which is what I was looking for.

           2014. Web. 05 Jan. 2015. <http://studyinturkey.org.tr/index.php/en/about-turkey/42-

I used this website mainly for its in depth description of the school system in Turkey. It is a sight for students and parents to go to if they are interested in studying in Turkey. Because of this it is very factual and unbiased which is why it is a reliable source.

         <http://www.culturalexchange-tr.nl/mapping

         -turkey/architecture/short-history-architecture>.

I used this website mostly to find out more about the history of Architecture in Turkey, but it had lots more information about Turkey in it. The author did not have a biased pinion throughout the article and had detailed explanations and resources for whhere he got his information. His writing helped me understand what the architecture actually looked like through his use of imagery.

           <https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/tu.html>.

I decided to use the Factbook for this project mostly to provide support for my Geographic Significance portion. This website is up to date and very reliable. Obviously, none of the informaton is biased, and its sole purpose it to inform as well.
