Four-in-One Blog

This time around, you can respond to any ONE of the four top blog topics recommended by you or your peers! I tweaked the wording a bit. As always, bear in mind that I will not approve posts that are carelessly written or too short.


By Chamira Bennett:
What are your thoughts on domestic violence? Do you think that at any point in time a man or woman has the right to put his or her hands on a relationship partner? For example, consider Chris Brown and Rihanna. Do you think there is a double standard to this? We usually put all the blame on men, but what about the women who do the same?


By Shareef Jordan:
What movie would you want to be in if you had the chance? Explain your choice.


By Unique Wilson:
A young man was holding his son while the cops were trying to arrest him. The cops did not care that the young man was holding his son and trying to stop him from crying. First, we had the Sean Bell incident, now this. What would you do if you or a friend were in this predicament? How would you feel and react?


By Zinyusile Brian Khumbula:
"School Drama": The school is going crazy. There is always someone saying something about someone. There is someone who wants to fight someone. Children are getting pregnant and others are getting involved in gang activity and drugs. Some students proclaim that this is what makes the school "live." Do you agree? Explain and give examples to support your opinion. Furthermore, do you think this affects our learning ability and environment? Explain.
