quotations]

Sources inside Sources
•How will you deal with these?
•Honestly (i.e. indicate the genuine origin
of your material (e.g. Smith 2003 in
Johnson 2005 ?
•Or strategically (i.e. just cite the
secondary source (e.g. Smith 2003))?
(Dishonest – but it looks as if you’ve read
the original secondary source = ethos)

Some more practice...
• Globalisation has been defined in a variety of ways. The World
Bank (n.d) is credited with introducing the term into economic
mainstream. Since then a lot of definitions have been advanced;
each based on contexts such as economic, social, cultural,
political and technological. Taking a chronological view, in the
1990’s, the scope of the definitions of globalisation seemed to
focus on the effects of distant events on local happenings
(Giddens, 1990); the increased absence of geographical
restrictions on socio-cultural arrangements (Waters, 1995); the
accelerated distribution of information (Albrow, 1996) and the
speed of integration across national borders (Friedman, 1999).
