Teamwork is working together as a group to accomplish a common interest, using your various strengths to create an ideal individual of sorts who is capable of conducting many tasks at once and who excels at all of the required areas of work. We sophomores enrolled in journalistic writing will be using teamwork to create a one time issue of a student newspaper, the "Sophisticate". If each student receives a position that suites his/her talents, then the results should be respectable. If the positions aren't chosen wisely, however, then we will probably be ashamed of our product.

Hindsight- blogging
What will blogging do for the quality of human society? Not a great deal of good, in my opinion. For the average blog, the content is based solely on the opinion of the writer and little fact is usually presented. There is also little way provided of cross checking the statements made to see if they are accurate. Basically, most peoples blogs morph into rumor mills, churning them out by the dozen. If it is used as a log to record the events of your life, then it is usually harmless to others but can be harmful to yourself, as any controversial information added drastically decrease the esteem that your regular readers hold you in, that is, if your blog can reach that level of popularity. Most blogs will remain mediocre, and will not make any kind of impact whatsoever. If you want to inform your friends on the happenings in your life, then why not meet them for a meal or coffee? In-person meetings usually build social skills.
