HW:3 Respond to "Toward A More Participatory Democracy"

In the reading, Toward a More Participatory Democracy by David Kline it discusses how many people feel that blogging for political reasons is not reaching as many people as they think or wish it had. It also discusses how many Americans feel that mainstream media, such as TV, newspapers, and magazines lie to the world. They change their stories more than Americans can possibly know.
When it comes to the topic of blogging, most of us will readily agree that blogging is affecting everyone around the world. Where this agreement usually ends, however, is on the question of what blogging is used for and if it is positively affecting society as a whole. Whereas some are convinced that blogging is reaching the number of people in the political sense to make a positive impact, others maintain that blogging will never reach the number of people to make any change at all. I personally think that blogging will someday have an absolute positive effect on the world and on the political aspects of the world and on American society. While on one hand I feel that blogging seems to be ridiculous in a way, I also see the effects it is having on the world. Blogging has made it so easy for people all around the world to talk and discuss world issues, whether they are public or private. After reading Toward a More Participatory Democracy be David Kline, my mind set has changed and I think that blogging will eventually, and most likely in my life time be the main form of all communication on a global level.
