Critical Review of Blogging
Blogging came around in the 1990’s and has been an active part of society since then. Blogging is used to spread the type of news the reader is interested in. The type of news can be anything from rare coins to baseball it doesn’t matter. Bloggers make blogs to follow their favorite sports team, events in their town or anything else that may interest them.

Blogging is also used to create a place of your own on the internet. If you create a blog you can customize it to show your interests. You can change the colors add pictures and video and much more.

Blogging can also be used for negative uses. Many people have been arrested for anti government and anti religious blogging. A man in Burma is currently serving 20 years for posting an anti government political cartoon on his blog that made fun of the current government and the head of state. Also a man was thrown out of Sudan because of anti government blogging. Blogging does have issues like the ones above but the benefits far out way the down sides.
