Methodology

The research team used a wide range of sources from the internet to explore the different possibilities behind who is responsible for oil spills. Using the BP oil spill as our case study, we managed to procure a couple of news articles that is able to give us different perspectives on the issue. We obtained the links from the articles through search engines, mainly Google and MSN.

Finding reliable and clear sources were not an easy task. Since BP is an internationally renowned event, there were many articles that heavily criticized the BP Company. Thus, the team decided that it is important to gather sources from more reliable sources, for example the major newspaper websites in the US. Wikipedia, despite its availability of large extensive information,was excluded.

In conclusion, we gathered the majority of our information from the internet given the time constraints. If more time was given, more information can be obtained through a larger variety of sources like magazines and books.
