While visiting other people blogs of what book they brought
back to class I was able to discover numerous topics. The topics branched out all across the world
hitting different ideas and unique features that I have yet to discovered.
The first blog I ran across dealt
with London. This intrigued
me very well because within the blog it dealt with a topic that is very popular
in today’s generation. The topic that was illustrated in the London blog was
clubs. What interested me in this blog is it gave me a better understanding of
what the night life was like and how the clubs ran show. Clubs in London are
different than they are here in America. In London they are more stick and more
exclusive to their own members than some random person. No matter how well
dressed or presented the person may be, they will not get in. In America it’s a
little less strict. Yes I’m sure there are clubs out there that are exclusive,
but most of the time all you need is an I.D. that says you are of age to enter
and you’re in the clear. Thanks to this blog I am now better equipped for
London if I ever visit there.
The second blog that I came
across was about a beautiful country, Malaysia. What this person
was able to bring to the table was unique features that make Malaysia what it
is today. Some of the magnificent features that was brought up about Malaysia
was the Petronas Twin Towers, Gombak River, and the Klang River. One features
brought up in this blog about Malaysia that interested me the most was Petaling
Street. At first I thought it was just a street that meant no cars were allowed
and people got around with just bikes. I then decided to do some even more in
depth research outside the blog and discover this landmark. Petaling Street is
a Chinatown in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Some of the qualities that make this
town unique is it is a site for haggling, prostitutes, and infamous for pirated
clothes and certain accessories. Last, but not least, Petaling Street is a
great place for one to sit down and enjoy something to eat because of the
various types of food offered here. After looking at this blog and the research
of Petaling Street, I realized it is important to broad your idea and knowledge
about the world and see what it offers. We often think that our country and
culture has everything, but little do we know what lies out there and what we
are missing out on.
The
third blog that interested me was about one of the world’s most successful
military in history, England. This blog interested me the most because this
person had a common interest like I do, and that is historical warfare. History
is made and sometimes manipulated by these great battles and should not be
taken for granted. The topic of this blog revolved around a book called The Battles of England,
written by Lieutenant Colonel Alfred. H. Burne. What this person was able to
illustrate in his blog was a little glimpse of what this lieutenant was like
and how he handled the pressure in heated battles. After reading the quote
remarked by the lieutenant it seemed as if he were puzzled and confused on how
his enemies defeated him. It kind of gave off a vibe that the lieutenant was
very calm when he was beaten rather than panicking, which is very important
during times of stress. With a high ranked position in the military such as the
lieutenant, it is important because they are the people that help lead the
military to a victory or defeat. Wars throughout history have been fought and
lead by men, and it is essential to look at all of them because they are what
made it happen.
The fourth blog I read was about
adult sexual activities. This
blog was very shocking to read because of the fact it illustrated. The fact
that was very shocking to my eyes was most women these days lose their
virginities at the mid to low teens, ages 16 through 19. This came to a shock
to me because I thought that it would be a lot higher than that and kind of a wakeup
call on how far this world has come on sex. Before the 20th century
sex known as a sacred thing between a man and a woman and if anyone were to
take part in such activities outside of marriage, social consequences would be
dealt with. Many people looked down on those who participated in sex outside of
marriage back then and seeing where the world is now it seems like the roles
have changed. I’m nervous to see what the world will be like with this and
hoping that these numbers stay where they are at and don’t get lower.
The fifth and final blog was
about a place we all know, the museum.
The museum is a wonderful place for knowledge and a great place to better
understand with how the world works. Unfortunately the museum isn’t the most
popular place to go. In the pass with today’s world the museum has been on a
downfall and struggling because no one wants to go. What came to my surprise
was this blog was able to tell the wonderful news on how the museums are coming
up. The way museums are attracting more visitors is because of the new
technology. In today’s world technology is vital and without it, the world
would be in full panic. The museum has taken advantage of this and get on track
with the world by keeping up with the technology we keep bringing in.
This experience was a very
entertaining one. I was able to not only understand the world around me better,
but my classmates as well. By seeing the books they have chose and why they have
chosen them I was able to understand them better as well.
