COMPARISON AND REFLECTION:
When we compare the outcomes of the questions we come to the conclusion that there aren’t many differences between the shops and people in India and in Netherlands. There are some people that prefer local shopping and others that prefer online shops. We think that in India people prefer local shopping a bit more, and that’s why the local shop owners are less threatened by the growth of online shops.
REFLECTION :
Our entire team worked in co-operation and managed to complete our task on time. It was a great learning experience. The project topic helped us to survey our region and understand about Shopping trends in our region. Creating a Weebly web page was a great learning experience for us.
