Assignment 12: Blog Entry

Blogs can sometimes be a a good source of information but it takes a long time of searching to find the right blog if you are going to use it as a source in an academic setting.  Blogs can also be a good source of news but since they are usually written by an individual person and usually for the purpose of delivering their opinion, they can be very biased with a lot of personal opinion so I would recommend trying to stay objective when you read but they are useful if you are trying to form your own opinion on a subject and you don't know what to think.  

The blog I found that pertains to my research was :  http://baur-writing.blogspot.com/ 

This blog is very informative but there is also a lot of personal opinion in it; I might use it as a source though because there is a good deal of information about how elders are treated in countries other then the U.S. so it might be useful if I wanted to compare countries but not much of the information is confirmable and I could probably find the same information that is provable somewhere else on the internet.
