living an informed life

This Discussion is about living an informed life that ties into the course description (The analysis of language as an instrument of sound thinking in morals, politics, and everyday life). I want to know what topics/issues are of concern/interest to you and your generation. This is your class. What do you want to talk about? For instance, I will post things that interest me from newspapers or magazines. I read the Sunday Los Angeles Times and I enjoy the First (Main) section because it contains the Editorials and Opinion (OP-ED) section along with Letters to the Editor. I read the BUSINESS section because it reflects changes in the economy. I read the CALIFORNIA section because it has history articles and I am always looking for articles on water issues in Southern California. Also, I read the ARTS & BOOKS section because it is very informative about current Art exhibits and book reviews are so educational. This Discussion is for students to lead the class in current events issues. Read an article in a newspaper or news magazine that has to do with current events of interest to you or about the course topics. Also you need to reply to other students’ posts. (125+ words) This Discussion is a way to demonstrate your involvement in the course. For a Current Events post, complete the following: first, summarize the story 55+ words; then, write your reflections on it 300+ words; and give the source (web link or copy of article documentation) When you respond to someone else’s current event post (150+ words), it is considered an interactive post and will satisfy one of your two replies.
