Many of my ideas and plans for research have been realised in writing this EE. Finding relevant data was difficult and proved there were risks in continuing this research, but I believe that my skills as a critical thinker and researcher have grown because of it. Learning about the circumstances and perspectives of different socio-economic classes in Hong Kong has been a highlight for me. My understanding of how economic factors impact the housing market in Hong Kong has grown along with an appreciation of the present cultural influences. Conceiving reasonable ways of measuring the effectiveness of the government’s housing initiatives had proved to be more difficult than I had initially thought. It was also a challenge to keep my ideas continuously clear and concise throughout the paper, but it pushed me to be a more effective communicator. It was a rigorous process to evaluate each of my sources, but it made me acknowledge the need for varied and reliable sources of information in a research paper. I have been able to develop skills and gain knowledge that I am sure to use in the future.
