The New York Times “Front Page” my group and I developed in seminar was based all on opinion pieces. I thought this would be a fun section of the New York Times to choose because we were all under the same umbrella of “opinion,” but we all had a great variety of individual topics to choose from. My topic was on Syria, and my group member’s topic was on nail fungus. The two topics are very unrelated and they also differ in seriousness. My topic was much more serious and it concerns us politically, but Josh’s topic was a little more “fun,” for lack of better words and there was humor to it. My favorite article was about Baruch’s elevator etiquette from our own paper, The Ticker. This article was my favorite because it was something I could relate to since I’m a Baruch student who constantly uses the elevators and I have had my fair share of experiences with people who have bad elevator etiquette. This article, along with the article about college students, both related to our first semester here at Baruch. The article speaks about a lowered quality of education and a higher expense required. It’s an article I read thoroughly because the information was useful to me. I don’t want to be a college graduate whose drowning in debt and be jobless either. The entire group did not have on common theme like the other groups, however, I thought this was interesting. It was particularly interesting to see which opinion piece each of my group members picked. It reflected all of our interests to some extent.
