class links


Abortions, legalization of marijuana, stem cell research, and gay households are some of the discussions written about my class members. All of them are quite interesting and worth audience participation because of the thought-provoking way they constructed their blogs. One that caught my eye was about a usually popular subject by students in college and high school. It is the topic of legalization of marijuana and it was completed by two people in my class. This are both worth visiting so that you can observe the different viewpoints that college students have on this topic. The last one is about under-age drinking so as you can tell my favorite topics are one that include ways that would include helping college students feel better!!
The first one can be found at: http://elizabethpot.blogspot.com/
This is mostly done on the argument that the drug needs to be made into prescription medicine so that it can be used by people who need it. Its obvious that the use of this drug illegally will probably never cease but the author doesn't believe that it should be completely legalized. As said on the blog, lots of diseases could be helped by the uses or the treatments of marijuana to these illnesses. The author does an excellent job of describing each disease that could be treated by marijuana and what kind of effects would occur.
The second one is at: http://www.whatyouknowaboutmaryjane.blogspot.com/
This author, unlike the first, believes strongly that marijuana should be legalized. They do agree, however, that it should definitely be legalized for the medical aspect of it. This person does an outstanding job on showing the effects of marijuana compared to the effects of tobacco. In my opinion this blog can make anyone into a believer!!
The next blog has nothing to do with marijuana but it did catch my eye. It can be found at: http://alcohol101.blogspot.com/
It is believed by the author that drinking at a younger age would prevent further complications when older because we would have learned what we needed to do by then. Drinking does cause problems with the liver but it is helpful (in small amounts) to other problems like Alzheimer's. He believes that the age doesn't really matter in the issue of accidents because we all are subject to getting behind the wheel for an accident. This blog, along with the others, make really good points in defending the topic at hand. They deserve to be visited because they are unbiased but they show many different views that should be put into consideration.

These blogs are very interesting. I enjoyed following the links and reading the information. They provide insight into issues that otherwise are underminded. They also allow people to express how they feel about these inportant issues.
