  1. I think blogging is a great way to openly express your feelings and opinions on whatever you want to talk about. It gives the power of publication and discussion to the people it creates a sense of openness in society regardless of where you come from and what your beliefs our. Blogging allows you to be yourself and interact with people like you, and most importantly it gives you a voice without being censored.

  2. I never really thought of blogging as a way to get through tough times but that is a very interesting point of view. I would tend to agree that blogging can help with coping, as with any other form of self expression. I feel that blogging is intended to give a voice to a wide range of opinions while also helping people discuss serious topics around the world with an endless amount of readers.
