People will actually publish any rubbish to prove a point.
And so the end is here . I have honestly learnt to debate, critically evaluate and many of skills I have blogged about being so important in lower school, I have learnt and understood now in my third year.
What have I learnt? April 10, 2012. I think we can all agree, we have covered a vast amount of topics and information over these few weeks. Personally, the opportunity to blog about topics of interest has heightened my motivation in forming a strong argument and is certainly evident throughout many other blogs too.

Looking at life through the lens of consumer psychology. The Man Behind the Looking Glass. Last week the Supreme Court rejected an appeal by Imperial Tobacco to overturn new legislation banning the display of tobacco products in Scotland. I imagine that most of you will agree with me that this is great news. They knowingly promote an extremely addictive product that kills half of its users.
Additionally I have on occasion change my mind and been persuaded totally in the opposite direction. For example my view on home schooling has changed entirely, I was really against the idea to begin with, but now I would say yes go for it, and think it is a great idea. How wrong was I?
