Week 2 Blog Reviews

To my fellow peer group members: please take my opinions as a peer. I tried to find something in each of your posts to help us be better writers and I hope you will do the same for me. happy writing. amity


Sandra Barocio, I appreciate your posting structure and flow. I like that you stepped away from the religious aspect at the beginning of your post and explained your ideas on how we are good and bad. I also think there is a biological component to being “good” or “bad”. Since God or religion is in question, Ellis’s theories were a strong supportive reference. You may have been able to incorporate more of the religious aspect of Ellis researches to fully support your posting.

Amara Villa-Rodriguez, I like the way you stated your point in the beginning paragraph and then proceeded to support it-“a person with no faith in God can just as easily make a good or bad decision.” It seems there is a theme that our peer group shares, there are other factors that contribute to being good or bad, and God CAN be one of them, but is not a requirement. Writing about the different levels of being good or bad; an individual level and a societal level was in a logical order. In  your posting Online Self the Goffman quote was placed well and flowed in your paragraph writing.

Richard Kriebel, In your post Do We Need God to Keep Us in Line? You included many supporting ideas. Specifically the “guilt” idea in your first paragraph. Myself being Catholic, I can identify with the guilt when making choices in life. For me it goes hand in hand with God and empathy. Your use of factual evidence for support from the readings was well used in the second paragraph. I really enjoy your thoughts in your postings. Keep in mind to check over grammar and spelling because it can take away the attention to the content and meaning of your post.
