The Blog From My Perspective

People in the United States have more freedom in China, so we can post whatever we thing online. And as an international student in DU, it is fantastic to create a blog in this class and have discussions with my classmates online. The process of creating a blog is easy. As I have already had a Gmail account, I just follow the step to log in and create a new blog for this writing course.

Form my perspective, it seems that everyone are willing to declare themselves’ opinions on the Internet now because of its free environments. In China, many famous people, especially some economists, journalist and critics, do deliver their opinions toward the social issues and some popular affairs happened recently. And I like to read their blogs when I was in China, for the reason that they give me various directions to think about the issues and the analyses that they had are really attractive.

However, since a whole article needed in one blog and the faster society rhythm, many people do not have enough time to calm down to write something. So, Facebook appears and becomes more and more popular around the world. And in China, many people shift to use "micro-blog" instead of posting blogs. These two websites are alike, in which people tell what they think in just one or two sentence, share some interesting pictures, videos and some information that they thing others need to know. Facebook is a production to adapt the change of people’s social life, but it is not a good way people to represent their thought entirely. In addition, it is not good for students to promote writing ability. By considering the difference between blogging and writing, I am kind of agree with the opinion that these two things are similar. Maybe writing is just more formal than blogging, because when people write essays, they think more about the word choice, the structure and grammar. However, nowadays, many people do writing on the Blog instead of publishing their articles in various magazines, so that more people are access to their essays. And they opinions about different things can be delivered to anywhere in the world in just one second. So blog is a new kind of literary for with in this new age.
