Weblog Assignment #5

For this assignment, you may choose among the articles below, OR you may choose from the articles in weblog assignments 1-4 that you have not done yet, OR, you may choose your own article. If you choose your own article, it may be a weblog post; it must be in English; it should be about one of the topics we've studied. In other words, read about people and their influence on each other; don't do a completely unrelated topic.
