More Opinion’s

(blog #3)

If I was a writer I would prefer to write blogs because there are really no rules. The blog is based on facts but it is up to the writer how many facts they give. The majority of the blog will be based on the opinion of the writer. The writer doesn’t have to argue both sides of the argument. The whole blog is about what the writer believes. If they want to add the opposing sides argument to prove their point even more they can. This is why I like blogs, the writer is free to do whatever they choose.

This is different from how I’m used to writing because I’m not used to giving my opinion. Everything is fact based and supported by facts. Growing up teachers always emphasized to never use we or I in a sentence. When writing a blog there is a lot of we and I, because its opinion based.

For example in New York they just passed a controversial law that states when a baby is being born it can still be “aborted” if the mom doesn’t want it. I can’t fathom how this bill passed. There is a enough people in congress in New York that thinks this is ethical. In a blog about this I would talk about how this should be considered murder because it is a living breathing human that is being killed. I would also talk about how unethical that is. I wouldn’t give any facts to support the claim that it is okay to abort a baby when its being born. (There’s always two sides to every issue.) Its hard for me to even say that’s abortion still because it’s not, its murder. Abortion is when the baby is still in the mother stomach but anyways, if I were to write a formal paper I would have to state only facts for both sides of the argument so the reader could make a choice on what they believe. I wouldn’t be able to state that I think “aborting” a child once they are born is murder. That would be up to the reader to decide.

An Op-Ed article is a lot like a blog. It is based on your opinion of a topic. Just like I could write a blog about the New York abortion law. I could also write an Op-Ed. The difference is there is a structure to follow. The similarities are its based on opinion. Blogs and Op-Eds are great ways to write when you would like to write about your opinions.
