Let's Learn Together

I have been considering starting a blog for some time now. I know many people who blog often, and I myself enjoy reading them. The biggest problem I have seen with these blogs that the average person writes, is the self righteousness of them. I understand that this is more or less the nature of the beast. We cannot write about things that we do not know personally. This usually means that we feel the need to interject our biases into the writing.

I want to explore the values and complexities that I experience in my somewhat normal life. For academic reasons, I would like to analyze and explore issues of life. Sometimes these will be moral, sometimes it will be aspects of living as a society, sometimes it will be about media. My primary purpose in this blog is to spur discussion in an academic way.

Let me give you some background about myself:
I am a 20 year old male college student, I am studying computer engineering, but am fascinated by society and people. I want to have a better understanding of the world around me. Because of this, I am a very open minded person. I have strong opinions and beliefs, but always want to hear from somebody else's point of view. I am presently enrolled full time at a university in Idaho, and work two part time jobs.

In conclusion, I hope that my age will not turn you off to my opinions. On the contrary, I fully understand that with experience comes knowledge, and I am always learning, so let's learn together.
