Reflection of Past Blogs

After posting six blog entries in the past, I found it that some posts struck my eye more than others.  From the posts, I have found what topic I will be writing my large research paper on; drinking and driving.  I chose to stick with the same topic as our very first paper.  I did this for reasons being it has a huge impact on everyone's life and everyday in society.  I also chose drinking and driving for that specific topic because I would enjoy further researching about the effects and statistics it has brought up in the past.  I personally or my family have not had this experience, but I know others in our community have and it catches my eye on how to keep our roads and society safe.  Some of my other blogs such as "Cyber-bullying" did not seem worthy of writing my argumentative paper on, not because it is not important (because it is), but because it has never happened to myself, therefore I thought it may be a topic to research for one's own enjoyment, not a paper.  And another blog , "Name Brand Clothes: Are They Worth It," seemed to not be nearly as important as any other topic I have written about.  That being said, after posting numerous blogs, I have found myself wanting to chose the topic, "Religion in the Classrooms" as my argumentative paper.  I have strong feelings towards that topic and some may find it a very touchy subject.  After the posting of blogs and commenting, I have found writing these actually helped me in choosing a topic and by other student's commenting gives me a view of someone else's point of view.
