3rd Blog-Viewpoints

Who will YOU be writing to? Can you decipher yet who will make up your audience, even in broad terms?

I been thinking about it from my list of annotated bibs.  It will mostly be for people between teens and 30s age range.  Most of the articles are based on that range.  I might narrow it down to college students.

Do you have a better understanding now of why your topic is timely, or how you can make it timely? Explain.

My topic is mainly about depression.  Cases of depression have increased over the years.  Over 100 millions are affected with depression in 2011.  It's a serious psychological condition that can severely affect a person's life. 

Why are you invested in this topic? (In other words, why do you care about it?) Why do you think (many of our) high school teachers instructed you to write objectively without any sort of personal investment in your writing? Why do college teachers suddenly care that you care about what you're doing?
Well, my high school teachers mostly instructed me to write on relating the topic with me.  I'm usually allow to write about topics that I'm interested in.  I just invest in my topic because it seems interesting.  That's all the reason I need for me.

Are you starting to see multiple viewpoints emerge in your research? Can you list them here?
Yes, I have seen different viewpoints.
-Unlike my topic of depression's effect on phyical health.  Another viewpoint is how phyical activity affects depression.
-How depression affects patients with heart problems?
-How depression affects a person's sleep quality?

Tell us about one new and interesting thing you've learned about your topic this week. What have you learned about the process of researching?
I learned that if you stop your daily exercise or phyical activity, the risk of developing depression becomes 4 times higher in the two following years.  Researching is a pain because it's difficult to find exactly what I want about my topic and have it from a legit source. 

Read and respond to at least one other student's blog.
