My blogging experience has opened my mind to the validity of the media, the speculation of information, and my blogging practices.

Through reading the news, I observed that the media presents conflicting speculations, and it is up to us to decide on what to believe.  The media has power to control what they want us to know because they choose information to publish, and that is especially true when this power is abused.  Rather than relying on their ethics, we should work to be skeptical of information and to look broadly for the whole truth.

That is why I am encouraged to read more blogs and from different bloggers to expand my outlook on current events.  Blogs are supposed to be opinionated, so we can easily take a position on the issue based on the content and our preconceived conceptions.  This would help me develop my point-of-view and to analyze issues from different perspectives before coming to conclusions.

I would like to thank the professors and TA’s for offering me this experience to learn about the different aspects of business in COMM101.  Although the process was very hard, I now see the value of this class.  Thank you!
