Fashion Research and Communication/ Blogs

Blogs are and interesting way to express yourself and display your personal feelings on a subject. Blogs are like a journal entry or a diary enrty that goes in chronological order, and may follow an even or a sequence of events. I personally do not like blogs. I do not like them because they are posted on the web for everyone to view, and I feel like if you have something personal to express, it should not be done on the world wide web. Blogs are helpful on the other hand to understand how a person may be feeling about a specific topic. A blog is an opinion. It may not have any factual information, which may or may not be helpful to the reader. Blogs can be biased toward one particualr view on a subject, and may offend some people. Blogs can be unclear to the reader. If the person writing the blog is feeling a certain emotion, then this may come out in the blog and sway the reader’s opinion on the subject matter.
Blogs can be helpful on the other hand by helpign the reader see a series of events that the blogger may have experienced and understanding the outcome of the certain experience or why the bloggre reacted in the way that they did. It is a helpful way to get to know a person. Blogging would be a good way for an employer to understand the type of person that they might be hiring. You can see what is on a person’s mind, and their thought process of different topics and ideas that they may be talking about on a personal perspective.
