Why Blog?

In the introductory entry to what will become your “blog”. Explain to your readers the nature of the blog entries, what connections exist between the topics, and what you learned as a consequence of your discussions with your classmates.

The nature of the blog entries help people connect what they are speaking off. Blogs help different groups of people connect and share their opinions. When one is blogging they don’t have to worry about showing their face or worry about what someone is going to say to them right away. When one is blogging it is easier to get the opinion out. For example our Composition 2 class has weekly posts where we share out opinions on a given matter and the people who never speak up in class always have the most to say. Why? They can say what is on their mind without someone else telling them they could look at it a different way. Some people are shy to speak in front of a group and they prefer to blog instead.
In my opinion blogs also allow a group of people to examine a topic more in depth because they have time to think and write. Then gather more information from the opposing side and after that think and write some more. The process always us, bloggers, to fully examine a topic instead of moving onto the next one.
I support blogging mostly because of these reasons. There is nothing wrong with sharing a topic with people who might be right next to you in class or people who are across the world. I love the idea that I can share my opinions with someone in China.
