In class we just finished watching the movie Julia and Julia. It was a okay movie. It tells the story of a woman who models after her idol Julia Childs who is a female cook who beat the odds, and proved to everyone she could cook and spent 8 years writing and perfecting her cook book before it was published. Julia wrote a blog everyday about how she would cook Julia's cooking and so many people looked and followed her blog. It goes to show you that even the tiniest stubject, like cooking, can catch so many peoples attention. It was almost like people would look foward to her blogs each day, almost as if they knew her personally.
We also looked at a site which showed how bosses look up and find their employees blogs. Sometimes, if the boss finds something that they do not like in the blog, they fire their employee. Personally, I find this stupid. Yes, not everything a person writes about or talks about in blogs are politically correct, but isn't that what blogs are about? Blogs are an opportunity for people such as you and me to just write and express themselfs and how they feel. No one said that they have to follow certain rules. In some cases yes, maybe the bosses had a 'good reason' for firing their emplyees, but alot of the time they don't seem too. Blogs give a person freedom to speak and express how they feel. If that's true, why is that right even being taking for granted now?
