Time to start the final paper!

For some reason, this blog never got posted.  I just found it in my list of posts as a "draft" from December 7th.  I'm going to publish the post now, but it's a little out of chronological order.  Sorry!!

I can't believe this semester is almost over.  It has been one heck of a ride for me--one that I wasn't expecting.  I knew it would be a bit difficult taking on two classes this semester, since one of them is Nursing Research.   However, I've also had to tackle a few unexpected issues, that really couldn't have occurred at a worse time.  I've had to deal with a lengthy hospitalization of my mom in November, and
now her slow rehabilitation.  My Nursing Research class has been a lot more difficult than expected, and I swear I'm getting an ulcer over it.

For our final assignment in Technology and Culture in America, we need to compose a well-supported and well-cited paper on our choice of one of two potential topics.  I have chosen to use "Made To Break" by Giles Slade as my primary source, and will answer the question, "With the recent rise of the environmental movement in this country, will America continue on the path of a disposable society described in Slade's work or finally turn the path of going green?"  I remember flipping and flopping, going back and forth on my opinions as I read this book, but I think I have finally come to a decision on what I believe will happen.
