NY TIMES PROJECT RESPONSE
For our project, we didn’t really have a specific them that we expanded on. Our theme was opinion. So we basically picked any opinion articles and wrote a response on them. One of them had to do with College students which can relate to Baruch obviously. The article stated that the quality of education has decreased. A survey showed that over 50 percent of graduate students don’t even know term limits of the representatives in the House of Representatives and Senators. It also talks about how today, education is so expensive. Students have to pay for an education that’s not good in quality and then they are in a high amount of debt after they graduate and have no job. Another article that didn’t relate to college but spoke about the importance of culture and communication was an article about Afghanistan. This article conveyed the importance of learning about culture and communication no matter where you are. Being aware of your surroundings and learning to accept and understand other customs and values is not only important in Afghanistan but important in any setting. You have to be knowledgeable. Although we didn’t have a central theme, I thought it was interesting to read opinion articles and look at other people’s views on things. Overall this project was a great experience!
