RCL Blog #2 – Official Topics for RCL and Passion Blog

After personal reflection and reviewing the feedback of my peers, I think that it would be really interesting to do my Passion Blog as a review of the previous week of competitions in Men’s NCAA Gymnastics. Many classmates mentioned not knowing much about collegiate gymnastics, and thus I believe that it would be cool to shine light on a sport that I believe is frequently underappreciated in our country. For each post, I would commentate on the performance of each team that competed that week (including results), highlight outstanding individual performances, and end with any changes to my own personal “power rankings” of the NCAA. For my Civic Issue Blog, I think it would be interesting to commentate on recent changes in monetary/fiscal policy and how they are affecting, or are forecasted to effect, the economy. As someone who is fairly interested in economics and has a decent deal of background knowledge about it, I think it would be a good blog topic to convey the concrete effects of policies that are often equivocated by the media. The economy is certainly of the most parts of our strength and coherence as a country, and unfortunately most people do not know much about it.
