Looking back, I greatly enkoyed the blogging experiance. At first, I had never written a blog in my life, and through weeks of blogging I have grown immensely with my understanding of them. I enjoyed writing about interesting, upcoming articles which seemed to “spark” my interest. Blogging was also away of expression and exercising my thought on political, cultural, and social issues of this time. I liked how I could put my own thoughts and ideas into my blog without any scrutiny. Commenting on others blogs was also quite interesting. I enjoyed reading other students thoughts and ideas about these popular issues. The experience helped me learn immensely about the “blogging” of today.
My three favorite blogs:
1.) My blog on “Partial Births” was quite interesting. It amazed me how with all the controversy with abortions even in the first trimester, that when a baby is fully developed it can be aborted. This issue of “abortion” is a strong issue for me. I believe in freedom of choice, but i don’t believe in killing which is what i would consider partial birth. This subject has many different corners and aspects to talk into account and i found it quite interesting how everyone has a different perspective.
2.) My blog on the “HPV Controversy” was a very interesting article for me. I got the HPV shot and believe it to be a ground breaking vaccine. Many believe it could have negative effects towards society, but we have searched and searched for a cure for cancer. This is just a beggining and any chance we have to make such a breakthrough should not be overlooked. I felt very strongly about this idea and expressed my emotions through my blog.
3.) The final blog i found to be my favorite was about how stereotypical world and how after the VT shooting Asians where looked lowly upon. I enjoyed this article because it was very recent and about a very large issue that was in the news at that time. I am very against discrimination and although our country has been through alot after Martin Luther King, we still have these discriminating tendencies. I felt strongly that race had nothing to do with the shooting. This man was highly disturbed and no one noticed the warning signs in enough time. Whether he was Asian or not had nothing to do with his mental illness.
The blog that i could of done better, probobly would of been about spanking being “illegal”. I could have elaberated much more on the subject of child abuse today and could of used more examples of todays world in the news.
In concusion my blgging experience had been very informative. Ive learned so much more now about blogging and may continue to blog. It has sparked my interest and gets my thoughts going. It is a perfect way to put your ideas on a blog site to show the world.
