My Final Blog

Part 1: From the beginning of my blog I have been an ethical mind. I am not a political activists out to change the world, but when i first started researching my topic i was baffled. What kind of world do we live in where such inhuman things can happen to half the population but no one cares because of the fact that the victims of such crimes are not men but rather their "unequal" counterparts? I could not get the subject out of my mind and I decided that it was time I actually did something that might get across to people- even if it was only my 10 followers. If the 10 of you do something to address these needs then maybe 10 more people will and then 10 more people, and on and on. We need to publicize the problem in order for Americans and the rest of the world to realize that we actually do in deed have a problem.

Part 2: i think that in blogging, and in life in general, I am a pretty open-minded person. I like to think that I "exhibit respect for other viewpoint"- and if i don't, i apologize. i also think that due to this fact, i am able to see other peoples' "points of view." I do not judge other people for things that they believe. For instance, when researching for my blog, many times the use of contraceptives was mentioned. Me, being a catholic since my first bath in Holy water, do not believe in such methods of birth control. However, from reading and seeing examples of how in some cases they are necessary, I realize that in certain situations they can potentially save lives.

This brings me to my third, "challenge their own beliefs." Did this blog challenge my very close-minded beliefs? Yes. My eyes were open to a whole other world, completely different from the one which I have become accustomed.

Part 3: I realized that when American women were given the right to vote, it was a milestone for us, but only a minor step forward for the women of the world. Men here might still have a little sexism running through their blood, but it is nothing in comparison to the sexist actions that arise from the opposite end of the Earth.

What surprised me most about the technological side of blogging is that it is not all that bad. I am not one for technology, but when you are talking about something in which you are passionate, then it takes the ick factor out- almost.
