The Problem: I have chosen to make a website on my country of origin Palestine. I have chosen it as many people around the world don’t know what or even where Palestine is. They haven’t heard about it and if they have then they heard about the war and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. What the people don’t know is that Palestine is so much more than that. By making this website, I would like to educate people about Palestine. Palestine is very rich in its unique culture and history. It is considered the holy land  by three major religions. Judiasm, Islam and Christianity. By creating this website, I would like to make Palestine more famous and allow people to have proper knowledge of this beautiful ancient country that dates back to 10,000 BC! I will make about 6 pages in the website. The homepage, the history page, the geography page, the culture page, the facts page and the contact us page to enhance the reader’s knowledge on Palestine.

Solutions and the chosen one: I’ve come across many solutions to the problem. I could advertise my country by handing out pamphlets in public, or by creating a poster and stick it in a popular place or even making a legitimate advertisement on TV and or just make a website  for everyone to see on the internet.  In the end, I have chosen to make a website as its one of the most simple and long lasting source of information for the public. Handing out pamphlets won’t really have an impact as people can just throw it in the bin and not even take a glance at it. Make a poster is a good idea but it isn’t really as effective as making a website. And making an advertisement on TV is very costly, it won’t be shown forever and again it isn’t really as effective. I believe making a website would really be a hit and anyone across the world can see it.

Hardware and software I’ll use:

Hardware	Software
Monitor	Flamingtext
Keyboard	Dreamweaver /website maker
Printer	Google chrome
CPU	Microsoft word
Mouse	Photoshop

Areas of interaction:

The website I will be using will cover two areas of interaction. By creating this website, I’ll cause awareness, concern, and educate people on my country and this is a part of the Community Service.  And the website is concerning the intellectual , attitudes, strategies, and skills that will result in critical, coherent, and independent thought. I will produce high quality work and this covers the Approaches to learning
