Blogging is a form of expression that gives people the opportunity to express oneself freely and openly. We currently live in a world where most opinions are not valued, and as a result, people are tentative to truly voice their views on specific issues or ideas, especially on television, in the newspapers, and on the radio. People venture to blogging as a outlet to release their beliefs without using a filter or worrying about how others might judge. It is with blogging where a person's true voice is identified and where one is able to be true to his/herself. This ability of blogging to emphasize true ideas and true opinions is what makes it so popular, beneficial, and essential to everyday life.

Jess, thanks for touching on the fact that many people do not have freedom of speech.
