Welcome

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Voice Your Opinion. (VURO)

Thanks for choosing to view and start reading our blog.

This blog is created by four university students. Suman, Renee, Maria and Ashwini.


We started this blog, as it is part of our assignment. We were informed that we could choose any topic of our desire. So, after a lot collaboration we decided "why don't we create a blog that gives us and also our readers an opportunity to express their views?" 

This blog aims to discuss current topics that have become pressing issues in society. This is not a blog which will give you updates about the news. Rather, we would like to discuss matters that we believe are significant but are not being completely addressed. This blog is not planned to discuss only the factors that are considered "wrong" in society, rather this blog aims to discuss those aspects of  society that go unrecognised, whether they be positive or negative.  

The topics that we are planning to discuss is inclusive of:

- The Media and their influence (are we really given the full story or only those that will increase

   readership/ viewership/ listeners and other similar concerns).

-True heroes of society (Kindness of strangers: how a person on the street helps you out without seeking 

  anything in return)

-Gaming (is it an addiction???)

- Olympic Games (How it is a revenue generator and how it might bring countries "together") 

- Transportation and the Government's response to these problems.  

- Same sex marriages 

and many many more...

Before writing a blog on a particular topic, we will do research on that topic and provide you with links that might be relevant to the topic. 

There are four writers of this blog and hence we aim to provide our readers with mixed opinions. We don't wish to change or shape your views. Rather we aim to share our views and understand your thoughts. We would like to create this blog with your help. We would like you to contribute and be part of this blog. 

SELECTING THE BLOG’S LAYOUT, LOGO and FORMAT:

The layout of the page and also our logo represents the theme of the blog. The focus is directed towards freedom of speech, expressing your self and providing your views on the topics that intrigue you. The layout and the logo of the blog are intended to be simple and straightforward so that the attention is directed towards the content rather than the appearance of the blog. This is exemplified through the logo as it centralizes everything around the word “VURO”.

Believe it or not, we have considered your convenience whilst designing the layout and the format of the blog. The very innovative and technology savvy Maria has created a slideshow on the top of the Voice Your Opinion blog page that shows all the recent blogs.

The format and the appearance of the blog have two columns rather than three so that you are not bombarded with clusters of information. All the blogs are posted on the left. On the right hand side we have information about the blog and also the writers. We have also provided a list of all the popular posts, so that you can read over it again if you like. We have also provided external links to twitter and facebook so that if you find a blog to be interesting or intriguing, you can share it. 

So, we want to focus on your comfort as you read the blog. If you have any suggestions of how we can improve this, do let us know =)

We hope that you enjoy this blog. Share your opinions and your views. If there are any topics that you would like us to share our opinions on, let us know. 

Thanks for reading and take care :)
