Hey Cory,
ReplyDeleteI liked your selection of articles regarding different local issues around different places. The baby boomer retirement crisis was something I was not aware of, because is definitely something to keep in mind. Likewise, the fears ahead of the future of elections in Puerto Rico is also something to keep on mind, as it can have strong consequences in their local politics. Good job!
Hi Cory,
ReplyDeleteGreat Work! I really enjoyed reading through your post. The articles were very interesting a focused on a variety of issues. I personally have heard of the Baby Boomer crisis through some of my other classes and I think there is a big opportunity there. I did not know about the immigration policies which I found very informing.
Hi Cory,
ReplyDeleteI think that your post was very informative and well researched. I found it fascinating how your articles were on a wide variety of topics. I also found that you did a great job of finding the problems in each article. The most interesting article to me was the one on Native American women. I found it appalling how they are 10 times more likely to get kidnapped or murdered but am glad that they are learning self defense.
Hi Cory,
ReplyDeleteI think you had a great selection of articles, and they were all certainly interesting to read through. I really enjoyed reading the article you chose about hospitals. I am currently considering a career in the medical field, and so reading about medical issues and potential opportunities is something that is very interesting to me for more reasons than one might expect.
Great job,
Nolan
