  • The blog regarding the Expression of Anti-Muslim Feelings in the U.S. explores the trends in society. It discusses current issues such as the Quran burning incident and the Ground Zero mosque debate to prove the existence of these negative feelings.  Personal experiences and beliefs enhance the arguments of the blog because the writer has both experienced and witnessed anti-Muslim feelings. The use of videos and a poll make the blog interactive and fun to follow.

  • The Holy War is a topic that I, as a Christian, should be interested in. Prior to the blog project, I had barely any knowledge on this issue which is hard to believe because the war has been going on long enough now. Now that I have been following this blog, I have acquired information from the author and although I had no opinion to change in the first place, I now have a stance. It was interesting to see how the opinion of the author changed over the month of intense research he pursued.

  • The Illegal Immigration Issues blog was also an interesting find. The beginning of the blog introduced the history of illegal immigration and provided a lot of statistics regarding the number or people crossing the border and things of that sort. It offers a realistic view on the subject- it most likely will not be resolved in the near future although the writer argues something needs to be done soon.
