I really connected with a few of the problems you identified in this post.

Overall you did a great job of identifying the problems, and fully explaining the context behind each.

ReplyDeleteI like how your articles covered issues from different situations.
what really got my attention was the one about women's march, which I think it is great to see that a lot of people are standing for women's right.
I also liked the article about the hat making !! small business need to find a unique ways to distinguish themselves from big companies .
The articles were very interesting and ranged from everyday life to politics. I totally agree with your first article, although I’m still very young, I have witnessed 50+ adult, demean themselves due to their age. I also have witness 50+ adult who are extremely fit and muscular and full of energy. In your second article, I can relate. As a woman, I am extremely proud of the recent courage and stance women are making. It refreshing and assuring to know our women are brave, courageous and outspoken.
