HW 11: Applying Chapter 6m to "Making Global Voices Heard"

In Kline and Bursteins ‘Making Global Voices Heard’ an interview with Rebecca Mackinnon I chose to view and read the blog The Kenyan Pundit (http://kenyanpundit.com/.) The blog is based in Kenya and talks about the growth of blogs there and how more and more people are coming to read them daily. Other mothers who relate to her are commenting on her blog. It is typically being followed by older women who can share stories and tips to make Ory’s life a little easier. In the interview it gives you a good description about what the blog will in tale and what to expect when you first visit the site. It stated that they are using the blogs to criticize mainstream press which is true because in the blog they do and other people are commenting the way they feel about it too.
Not everyone will agree with me on how I feel that giving advice to others will help enormously even through the internet and not knowing them any better I believe that it is amazing how people are so open to try and make other people’s lives better. Of course, many will probably disagree with this assertion that not everyone is always open to help each other and making fun of the mainstream media isn’t always good and may start trouble with other bloggers, I feel that it is very helpful and even if you disagree everyone has their own say in how they feel and what they want to get across.
