blogging on blogs - read these 3. *update*

1. The Border: Where Immigration and Race meet: I was initially assigned to read this blog as an assignment. But after reading the first post, I thought it would be an interesting one to follow because it's been the topic of debate for so long and I wanted to get more info on the different positions and opinions on handling illegal immigration. This blog did exactly what I wanted; it clearly broke down the opposing sides of the topic and I felt like I fully comprehend the situation without being biased. I could tell that this blogger evolved as his postings went on because of the level of understanding displayed in the theory post.
2. A Public Pariah in Muslim America: This blog was interesting to follow because it focused on a very controversial topic and thus had a high probability of becoming biased. Even though,there was a hint of bias in some posts, the blog was informative and written in such a way to give the reader a deeper understanding of the topic and got its points across by appealing to the emotion of the reader. 
3. Affirmative Action or Inaction: I knew absolutely nothing about this topic; I didn't even know that affirmative action existed in the first place. But I think I understand the situation more now. This blogger clearly organized the arguments surrounding the topic, but sometimes, I felt the posts were overwhelmed with facts and not enough thought. But like I said, I understand the topic now and that's good.
