post très!

My audience can be several different people. I know that most people who are religious would be very interested in my topic. My topic is almost controversial, and i feel as if many people will have something to say about it wether they are religious or not. I feel as if this topic is very timely now more than ever. With religion being a huge part of politics and a presidential election this year, i feel like this is very relevant to our every day life. I am invested in this topic because I am actually interested in the findings and research that has been done. I think high school teachers didn't care about whether or not we cared about our topics. They were more than likely drained from teaching the same type of people every semester. With college professors, they see a variety of different people every day, every semester, every year. The college professors know that you will be able to use the skills that you learn now for other classes in the future.
I am already starting to see different viewpoints and i have just began to research. I know that I will see the viewpoint of the religious and non religious. I will see the benefits of having religion and the dark side to not having one.
I have learned that the stress that is emitted from following a religion can actually be harmful to ones health.
I chose to read Taylor Williams last blog, mainly because thats the only name i could recognize from the class. After reading this I realized that she is rather passionate about her topic. The amount of time and effort she is going to invest in the topic will be sure to make an interesting paper. I think instead of just focusing on just certain points of the body caffeine affects, she should do the whole body health.

  1. David, I value your engagement in our class! Keep up the good thinking and writing. I wonder how we can narrow your audience...but we will get to that later in the semester if it's necessary.
