Blog Post #2

My NYT group chose change as our main theme for our project, and we had a variety of world and local issues that we wrote about. Change is something that we are experiencing at every single point in time, no matter how that may occur, and it’s a theme that particularly resonates with issues that affect us on a personal level. For instance, this can be an issue such as the new system potentially being implemented by the President that would allow us to receive more federal aid as a school, which is the topic we chose as our Bearcat article. Or something as small as the new iOS update for the iPhone, which has had many people talking and discussing whether they like it or not, causing a certain amount of controversy. Change is also apparent as we have made the transition from high school into college, which has been a huge one on a personal level. Whether you like it or not, change is a constant entity, and something that must be dealt with all throughout life, and it is especially prevalent for us to get in the habit of accepting it, in a sense, by seeing how different issues are also affected, as well as the outcome. This way, the earlier we learn to cope with change, the easier it will be to move forward.
