Your Best!

Can We Be Good Without God. . Yes or No?
Although this was one of your very first posts, I really enjoyed it. My favorite part of this post was your statement – “Everyone sins, Everyone lies, and Everyone is not "good" at one point or another.” I just think that you were so straightforward with that statement. There was no need to “beat around the bush”, that’s your opinion and you stated it! I also appreciate how you tied your opinion in throughout the post.

One Mate One Marriage
I picked this posting because I seriously laughed out loud when I read, “Don’t marry someone if you can’t picture then old and saggy and see yourself sitting next to them on your front porch and looking at old homes together.” Again, I appreciate your opinion and personal style of telling it like it is. Other than that one sentence I thought that you did a really great job in this post of not only stating your personal opinion, but using references throughout. I think that further exposing your opinion of society maintaining monogamy would be a very interesting topic for a paper.

What Side Of The Spectrum Do You Lie On??
I thought that this was a really strong post of yours. Not only did you do an excellent job of citing sources throughout, but you also mention and maintain the idea that the topic is a touchy one and that individual’s personal opinions differ on the subject. I think that your mention of your mom and her online shopping was a great tie-in. I would be very interested to know more about the habits of online shopping and the effects that it has had not only one the economy at large, but also on individual shoppers.

I really enjoyed reading through your blogs. You do an excellent job of stating your personal opinions and beliefs throughout most of your writing. I can see that you grew as a writer and began to use the text and other resources later in the semester. Great job and good luck writing your final paper!

Capitalism and Gay Identity
I could tell as I read this post that as you mentioned in the first line, this was one of your favorite readings. It showed! I thought that you did a really good job of explaining the views presented in the reading, while adding your own views and opinions as well. This is definitely an area that I think would be interesting to research and write more about, whether it be on gay individuals specifically, or just the changing American family.

Music
Again, I could tell that this was a topic of interest for you. Although this posting was not very long, you did present both interesting facts and your own opinion. Especially since this is a topic of interest for you, this would be an interesting topic to research as well. I would be interested to know about teens or young women and the effect that the media and music has had over their appearance, behavior and health since the beginning of media broadcasting.

American Dream
I chose this as one of your best posting from this course simply because of the structure. You did a really nice job creating structure in this posting as well as presenting facts and opinions. Overall, you just did a great job on this posting, I’m impressed.

Kayla, I can really tell that you began to enjoy working on your blog as the semester continued. You did a nice job with all of your postings and I especially enjoyed your enthusiasm for some of the presented topics. Good luck with your final paper!

The Individual Sel “SELF”
I didn’t think that I would choose the very first posting as a best for any of my group members, but yours was particularly impressive. I thought that you did a really nice job or presenting a well rounded opinion to the topic. Not only did you do a great job of presenting facts and your opinion throughout, but you made me interested in knowing more about this topic. Wouldn’t it be interesting if even just one of us wrote our final essay on the difference between online and traditional classroom settings?

What’s Chemistry Got To Do With Love?
I really enjoyed reading your closing paragraph (personal opinion) on this topic. I think that it’s very interesting that after you presented so many facts and professional opinions throughout the body of the posting, that your personal opinion is for love to stay mysterious! I’m not exactly sure how you would go about expanding on that theory alone, but I think that this would be a topic that you might enjoy researching more on, especially with a wedding in your future!

Materialistic!
I chose this posting because I think that you chose very strong quotes to support your ideas throughout your posting. This posting had great structure and strong evidence throughout. I recently completed an essay on materialism and thought that it was a very interesting topic to further explore. After reading through your posting and opinions I thought that this might be a topic that you too would enjoy writing more about.

Overall, I really appreciate the depth and planning that you put into each of your postings. I can tell that you spent a considerable amount of time on each posting consistently throughout the semester. All of your postings also have great source citations and strong evidence throughout. Great job composing and completing all of these postings, you should be proud! Good luck on your final essay!
