3 Ideas for Blog Posts

There were a few blogs that I enjoyed doing. Some of my favorites included the topics on an American Utopia, changes in American Culture, and the blog post where we got to choose a topic based on events currently happening (I chose technology for this one). Some of my new ideas include:

1. How would you rate America's general performance compared to other countries around the world?
This question should be answered in the most blunt and honest way possible. Think about what is currently going on in America and the world (trade, taxes, employment) and compare America to other countries. Feel free to back up your opinion with data.

2. Is a degree worth getting? Do you feel like people get a degree for satisfaction, potential for growth in a job, both, or do you feel like obtaining a degree is simply a waste of money?
This question has different components and the blogger should select a view to defend. Currently, a doctoral degree is the highest obtainable degree, but there are people with these degrees that do not have a job. Use statistics to support your claim.

3. What is your definition of power in America?
Like the above questions, this blog posted is opinion based so there is no right or wrong answer. Do you believe power is governed by your position in society? Or maybe your power is gauged by how much money you have, because as many people know, the more money you have, the more likely people will listen to what have to say.

American Utopia? Is This Possible?

Image
The question "What would make America a Utopia?" is rather subjective. This is because everyone has different opinions on what a perfect society looks like and how it operates. The short answer for what would make America a utopia, (while keeping everyone individual opinions and values in mind) is there is no answer. Unless people were to somehow ditch their personal opinions and abide by any laws with absolutely no resistance whatsoever, a utopia in America can not be. The power of the human will is what makes such a view difficult or even impossible to create. One could even go as far as saying a utopia in America would be one with no laws and no order, in other words, absolute chaos. Chaos is the natural order of life; where there are no laws, people would be free to act as they please. However, if I were to be asked what would make America a utopia based off of my own values, morals, and opinions, I would describe it as a " interdependent Confederation of societi...

The Make of Car Doesn't Make The Man

There are many sub-cultures in America that are constantly being disputed, most common of which being gun culture. One not commonly spoken of is the car culture in America.  Photo  Credit Photo  Credit There are many different makes (brands) of vehicles, a few common  being Ford, Toyota, etc. The high performance built models of these different brands are grouped as either Muscle or Tuner cars. Muscle cars are cars from America, and include Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge. Tuner cars are cars that are generally from Japan, such as Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda.  The two cars pictured above, to the untrained eye, are just two random cars. To car enthusiasts, however, these are a couple of gems. The left is a 1970 Ford Torino (muscle car), and the right is a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R (tuner). These two cars are really only different in one way: how they like to go fast, and these two go VERY fast.  The muscle cars are big and hea...

"Utopia": just an idea out of Sci-fi or truly possible?

Image
The word "Utopian" is one that is rarely if ever used to describe today's society in the world and in America specifically. It is a word that is used to describe something out of an H.G wells book not the current day to day life that we have today. The true definition of "Utopia" is   " a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions" .  While this conversation could turn into a rant of listing all the things wrong with America, I'll censor myself instead because complaining without looking for solutions will and never has done anything to make situations better. Instead the focus chosen is the topic of global warming and climate change and how as a country we can help to reduce our own Eco -footprint to strive towards this Utopian idea of current conditions. Concerning climate "t he planet is warming, from North Pole to South Pole. Since 1906, the global average surface temperature has  increased  betwe...
