Voting Doesn’t Grow Old- By: Emmit Tam
When I first watched the Knock the Vote video, I felt offended at first as well, even though I don’t live in the united states. As I continued to watch the video, it occurred to me how much voting actually matters. Right now, the elders are doing all the work for us but that won’t last forever. I think the video did get its message across like you said because it would have triggered other youth watching it. In your post, you said how we are always trying to go against what we are urged to do, because we think we accomplish it in a different way and I completely agree with that. The fact that the video told us not to vote is what will actually urge the youth to vote. Not only did your post cover the issue of youth not voting in a mature manner but it also stated the reasons why this video was effective extremely well.

Click here to See the Outrageous things that People Click On- By: Justin Mercado
https://justinscontroversialopinions.blogspot.com/2019/03/click-here-to-see-outrageous-things.html
The title of your blog post was very eye-catching and got my attention right away. I admit there have been times when I clicked on a post with an interesting title and midway through the post, I would notice how half of the information was false and it definitely annoyed me. I think that since everyone has access to social media in today's society, it is something that people know we spend most of our time doing. We should definitely be aware of what we read and who it's by since what see on social media gives us opinions on certain topics. Double-checking sources when reading something doesn't hurt that much anyway.

Conflict over Huawei- By: Timme Tam
https://timmesmediablog.blogspot.com/2019/05/conflict-over-huawei.html
Very interesting post Timme. A few days ago, I heard about a similar issue on the news and was curious to know more. This dilemma between China and the United States is one that could be solved if both countries discussed and came to an agreement about the issue. I honestly didn't know how this company, but I find it shocking that the third most famous company in making smartphones was up to so much with their products. In your post, you said how Canada has yet to make a decision on whether they want to ban the product or not and I think this decision should be made carefully. If Canada banned the products as well, then their relationship with United States wouldn't be affected and banning the products seems like the right thing to do in this situation due to security issues. Your post did a good job in explaining this issue and I'm glad that I was able to educate myself and learn something new.

Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302- By: Jake Gimmy
https://sitetheblog.blogspot.com/2019/03/ethiopian-airlines-flight-302.html
This was so heart-breaking to read. The fact that 157 lives were lost due to an accident that could have been avoided just makes me upset. I find it shocking that these pilots only had to take a course that was around 3 hours in order to learn how to operate a flight. This tragedy cannot simply be blamed on the pilots because they only followed the training they were required to do. This accident however is something the airline should be held responsible for. With this accident being the second within a six month time period, the airline should focus on ensuring that all the technical difficulties regarding the aircraft are fixed so an incident like this does not occur again in the future.

Church Vs State: Should Abortion be Legal - By: Lara F.
https://laravsthew0rld.blogspot.com/2019/05/church-vs-state-should-abortion-be-legal.html
The talk about abortion has been a controversial topic over social media in the last few weeks. I personally think that women should have the right to decide what they want to do with their bodies. The fact that this choice is being taken away from this is completely absurd because pregnancy isn't an easy thing to go through and like you said, most of these laws are being made by men. Although I am a Catholic myself and believe that killing is wrong, it upsets me to know that a pregnant woman won't have any choice in regards to what she wants to do and how it will affect her life.
