To Jasper, I think you did a good job of getting various ideas out at one time. You talk about getting people to eat healthier but you also express some of your concerns for the way that the government in a sense has been failing its followers by not having universal care. These people can get denied coverage by the health insurance companies that can potentially lose money by having them under the health care plan because they are considered to much of a risk. You talk a lot about the dominant social practices and how you feel about them. Good insights the only improvement for this blog would be to tie this back to some of the text we have read via a mention or maybe a link.

From Isabel, Chris you did a good job at sticking to the task and answering one of the questions within a paragraph. I think the best thing about this is that you talk about some of the eating practices that we have in our society and you talk abaout what this can lead to many of the illnesses that plague a lot of people. What I think you can get better at is making your ideas more consice and make them more powerful. Good post :)

From John,
chris,

I think you were able to link very well how what we learned in the past unit directly connects to what we learned in this unit. you also were able to bring it together in a sortof overarching theme which i liked. what id like to see you improve on a bit is to see if you can carry this into something deeper, that maybe we havent discussed yet in class. something much easier said than done of coarse but i think you can do it, in this one for instance it seemed like you were about to get to something really big but it didnt go the distance.

hope this helped

To John,
John,
I think you talk about a few different things here that refer to some of the topics we covered in class and probably one of the biggest. I like how at the end of your post you start talking a bit about specifics in contrast to the beginning when you kind of show what you learned over the course of the unit. I think the best line you had in your post is when you say "Many of us think with the right medical care one will overcome their illness or they can just “fight it” when usually the ill person is blowing through tons of medical bills and isn’t giving herself a pleasurable experience." Because it is something that I agree with a lot and it is really well said. Something I think you could have done which many people including myself could have done was refer to a document or something we watched in class. All in all interesting.
