a) the first database that might be helpfull is “the academic search complete (EBSCO host)” because it includes a huge numbers of sources like journals, magazines, etc. it also includes sources that tackles topics from many areas such as biology, economics, psychology, etc. even though many of the articles on this database are secondary and not primary, it is considred an extremely trusted one because it includes all the full citations for each article in all formats; mla, apa, etc.

b) the second database that i have chosen is “lexis nexus academic universe” because it includes international, political and government news which is helpfull for knowing the viewpoints of several governments on the discussed topic.
