                         According to W. R. Borg, the literature in any field forms the foundation upon which all future work will be built. If we fail to build the foundation of knowledge which is provided by the review of literature our work is likely to be shallow and naïve and will often duplicate work that has already been done better by someone else.”

His constant adding to the vast store of knowledge makes possible progress in all the areas of human endeavor.”

 The second phase of the review of literature involves writing this foundation of ideas into a section of the research report. And by that way giving reader the chance to think about that topic and applying their efforts in that field.
