Blogging

Blogging for me has helped me to see that there is yet another way of writing, and there are so many ways for your voice to be heard. Even though I am sometimes skeptical as to how much people actually read my blog, it still feels good to say what I think without anyone interrupt me.

I have noticed that the way I write on my blog has been pretty similar to the way I talk, combined with some of the formality of typing. I don't think my writing style has changed that much, especially in terms of poetry and that type of writing.

I enjoy blogging, but I am often at a loss as to what to write about, and having specific assignments has helped me with that. I am not sure whether I will continue to blog, but maybe I will continue to visit my blog and some others to see if I have some sort of spontaneous inspiration.

Blogging can be a way for people to let their voices be heard without someone interrupting them or contradicting them. It is important to be able to say everything you want to say without someone arguing with you. It is a good way to make people see different opinions on things and maybe be able to see something from a different angle. Blogging allows people to tell other people about what is going on and try to stop some of the injustice in the world. It also shows that there are other people out there with similar opinions to yours and that you aren't alone.

Some of what blogging does, is it shows another side of people, that you maybe don't see in everyday conversation. It allows someone you already knew to see another side of you, whether that be good or bad, but it still allows people to get to know each other better.

I think that blogging has let me get to know a little bit more about what people care about that doesn't come up in conversation and maybe get to see a little bit of who they are as a person-- things that you can't see just by looking.

I think that the media plays a very important role in our society, whether you watch something on television or read it on the computer, the image of whats perfect is always right there. There are, of course positive rolls in of the media, such as blogging which allows voices to be heard that maybe aren't so mainstream.

Blogging is definitely different from other types of media because it shows the opinions of everyday people that have ideas that aren't so mainstream instead of the media that shows the perfect looking person, or what they want us to believe about everything. People controlling the media have opinions about everything, and they want us to think the same way too.

Blogging has shown more inside perspectives on the media that wouldn't be shown on television. It also helps people to realize that their own beliefs and opinions shouldn't be obtained by one other source, but rather by reading many different opinions before deciding what you believe.

As wonderful as blogging is for showing your voice, there are definitely limitations. There are so many blogs out there, and there are only a handful of us that spend a lot of time reading blogs. Most people don't look at blogs, only other forms of the media which isn't the way everything is. There is only so far blogging can go, but that doesn't mean we should stop because it is still a great way to share your voice.
