In this assigned blog, we were told to write a blog about....blogs. I was a little surprised at this assignment, however after reading the article correllating with it, I have come to a few conclusions.
I believe basically what I did before about blogs. I think they're great. It's an open and honest way to communicate your thoughts and ideas to family, friends, even strangers with similar interests and goals. It allows you to experience complete freedom and publish your opinions about subjuects that really matter in life.
Sure there are multiple versions, however it doesn't really matter what they are because at the end of the day people are going to find one not based on a version, but to display their words to the worldwide public. It's not about what version someone has or what it's for, it's about what you say, and that seems to much much more important than anything.

The Future of Life
According to Wilson, more than 6 billion people fill the world. One billion of those people are severly poor and "on the edge of starvation." Comparing this to the environment, Wilson goes on to say that the wreckage of the planet is in direct correllation to an ingenious humanity that has about 1/6 of the planet in sever economic struggle.
Wilson compares the environmental struggle to a race that can be won. He says everyone has some sort of environmental ethic and that it mainly consists of the fact that people come first. Humans will always come before the well-being of the environment and the world in which we dwell.
After stating all the hot spots that are in danger, Wilsonn concludes with the notion that the Earth is still productive enough to raise the standard of living. the new issue is how to raise the poor to a decent standard of living. Success or failure will come down to the ethical decision Wilson mentioned before.
I feel as if Wilson had a lot of good points, but I felt the article was scatter-brained to say the least. Comparing economic growth, or lack thereof, to environmental struggles didn't cut it for me. The two didn't seem to correllate.
