Hey Nina,
ReplyDeleteGreat work compiling a list of local opportunities that may foster some ability to reevaluate instances of reduction. I found that the list really maintained a desired level of local opportunities in which many did not go too far in seeing what could be done. For instance the movement and the razor opportunities are very plausible opportunities of development. Thank you for this great post and I will surely be looking forward to the avenue of development these projects could turn into. I myself will be reflecting on such opportunities to determine if I can gain any benefit at the expense of a crisis.
Hey there, Nina.
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your post, I just want to say that I think you did an amazing job. The outline of the post was great, which caused all your information to go in the right order. You picked articles that many people could relate to or find in their hometown’s local newspaper. I did at first think that the MeTooMovement was a little too broad of an opportunity. But after reading a little more, I can see how it can become a local hometown story.
Nina,
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job analyzing articles from local news stories. I was most interested in the article talking about unseen consequences as a result of the #MeToo movement. Originally, I saw the movement as a positive thing, but after reading the article in detail I can see why there are negative side effects. As a man, I fear ever being accused of inappropriate conduct when it comes to interacting with woman. Being it's in a social aspect, work environment, etc. However, if men did see woman as equals, as I do, interaction with them should not cause anxiety because the man should be comfortable enough interacting with woman if they are confident they'd never treat them negatively.
