Reading your post, there is a clear theme of the need for social justice in the topics that you picked. I thought it was really interesting that they were all social issues rather than other news such as issues in technology, business, economics, weather, etc. I liked that you kept each entry short and sweet and summarized the entire story in one line without inserting personal opinions over facts. Thanks for sharing! If you want to check out my post, you can find it at:

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your post, and liked that you brought up the problems in Mexico, as most of the problems that people presented are solely based in minor problems in Gainesville, rather than local problems from other areas in the world. The only thing that was slightly problematic was your post in Tuition equality for all. While it's still a problem, it only applies to students born out of the country, not students born in another state. I was born in Indiana, and I definitely get in-state tuition.
