This week we debated about online privacy and how much we were willing to sacrifice for more and how much we were sacrificing without it. It was really good practice for forming an opinion on a subject with limited sources. Based on the documents we read through we had to pick a side and decide if we wanted less of more government interference. Then we got into groups and debated the issue. I definitely think our team won but the information we received gave us a better basis for an argument. The whole issue with online tracking was really interesting since it applies to our everyday life and could potentially really affect us. I also found on my phone in the settings that there is an option to opt out of tracking which I thought was interesting considering the fact that the articles we read through made it appear like there was no sort of regulation in place. Overall, this project really helped me form an opinion quickly and stick with it. I learned how to create a better counterargument and was forced to pick a side instead of floating in the middle, agreeing with different parts of both sides. We also worked on beginning our "This I Believe" project which I am not excited about to be completely honest. Makes me a bit nervous to pick something and to share it with the whole class but I'm up for it.
