ReplyDeleteThe entire blog uses surveys and interviews to show the U.S. opinion on GMOs, which is applicable to understand the position of the public. However the responses to the interview, such as in Olivia Spratt's final blog, are slightly confusing. The surveys The information is slightly superficial, only giving very basic information. The blog also does not give any of the ethical issues that GMOs create. This makes it difficult to understand what the debate is all about.
ReplyDeleteReading throughout the whole blog, I find the ideas you post a bit disoganized, making it confusing to follow the results of all the investigations you were making, specially due to the continuous extensions and posts half complited, or that they don't give a specific information at all. It would be better to have all the information wrote in a single post and with bullet points describing the topics covered in them.
ReplyDeleteI think this blog has achieved its purpose of investigating the public knowledge/opinions of GMOs and its relation with overpopulation. In addition, for someone who like to see colors and charts than texts, the pie charts have helped with the visual part of the statistics a little. Lastly, the simplisticity of the blog kept the readers away from being easily distracted.
