This week we started research for our briefing article. This may be the first time that I am sincerely interested in the topic I am writing about. Most other classes haven't quite given me the liberty to choose exactly what I want to write about. Because business relates to essentially every professional field, there are a lot of options. I am working towards medical school, so I chose to write about how Obamacare will effect primary care in the United States. Not only does this information help me as a potential patient, but also as a future doctor.
Sadly, I haven't felt the same desire in the past as I do now to be involved in what is happening in our country. Education that we can gain from classes is excellent, but knowing how it applies and relates to a changing society is crucial as well. I plan to read more articles relating to business and current events to better prepare for my career.
This is slightly unrelated, but if we aren't paying attention life will do this to us. Until next time folks.

I agree with you. Especially on the research can be fun part. When we get to choose our topic it can make us more excited and interested in doing the research. I think class last week really helped us to know how to research and can take away a lot of the unpleasantness that comes with researching things that we aren't terribly interested in.
ReplyDeleteYes, it was fun having the world open us on what we could choose on a topic. It definitely makes it more exciting and interesting. I quite enjoyed it once I found a topic, but I'm not going to lie--it was really hard for me to narrow down and choose one. It was a nice change though.
