CIS Blog

Don't get excited yet, folks. Just wanted to let you know that I haven't heard anything. But I'm adhering to the maxim that "no news is good news." We really should find out soon, though. I'll post a message ASAP if I do hear anything. Hope your Presidents' Day break is going swimmingly.

Warmly,
Mrs. D

Welcome back, Bloggers! Respond on your own blog to this question. What ideas do you have for your trend analysis after researching in CQ Researcher, on Faith Popcorn's website, and through Lexis Nexis on the U's library site? Don't just list a subject, like "fast food popularity." Rather, elaborate on the topic, like "the popularity of fast food is contributing to obesity, unhealthy lifestyles, and lack of family interaction at the dinner table."

Comment on three others' blogs after reading their ideas.

Do you hate Michael Moore or do you love him? He is a watchdog in American politics, without a doubt. What did you learn from this film? What are some of the questions this film poses? Give two specific examples of the subculture of violence in American that Moore presents.

Write at least two paragraphs responding to these questions and to any other thoughts this film inspired. (Mike, Kyle can write as much as he wants... I encourage it!)

Let's try this blogging stuff. Respond:
1.) Brainstorm and list ten subcultures in this area.
2.) Describe three which you think would be most feasible to study and why.
3.) Describe three which you think would be the most fun to study and why.

Welcome, CIS students! We are official bloggers now. Post your intellectual responses to our brainstormed, timely topics. Then reply to your classmates in similar intellectual manner in this scholarly forum.
