Mille – Music in Schools

Hi, I'm interested on your view about a child being 'forced' to learn music, do you think they will grow to love it from being made to play or do think it'll make them hate it even more? I learnt piano for 8 years and loved it but couldn't imagine having to do all the hard work had I not enjoyed it! Well done on your blog anyway, you've presented a really well informed argument.

Amy-Claire – Animal Testing

Wow, the things they do is just awful. Good use of the pictures, it really emphasises the reality of the situation and in turn strengthens your argument, nice work.

Leonella – Is childhood obesity a parent’s responsibility?

Hi Leonella, I did my blog on obesity as well but instead looked at how nutrition in schools might improve the situation. I like your idea of looking into the parents responsibility in the situation, I found a really interesting quote on it:

As a parent you have an important role in shaping your child’s dietary habits. You can control what, when and how your child eats, as well as being a role model” (New Zealand Nutrition Foundation, 2009)

It makes it pretty obvious the influence they have on their child's health, right?

Nice work.

Akosita – Should homosexuals be allowed to adopt?

Hi Akosita,

You've taken on a very controversial and topical subject and have done a really good job. I like the different angles you have taken such as the human rights topic, it really emphasises your point. You might just want to put the references section at the end of your page so it is more logically set out though. Otherwise, nice work.

Monique – Photoshop, an angel in disguise?

Hi Monique,

I completely agree with you on this subject and it is a very topical issue to address. I can appreciate how you consider the use of retouching near your conclusion but I don't know whether that might take away a little bit from your argument? Irrespective of that, the information you have provided is very thought provoking and your links help to solidify your point well so nice work.
