Introduction: A Note On Anonymity

The following entries were assigned as a class project, and out of respect for the privacy of our thoughts, we do not have to share our journals with the entire class. So why did I choose to make this journal a blog? On the internet, anybody has access to what I write and can comment and critique at will. Yet without any advertising (and I do not intend to advertise), it is unlikely that many people will stumble upon this blog, leaving it doomed to obscurity. Even in the unlikely event that this blog does gain a following, none of my readers will know who I am; I will be nothing but a voice. This way, should anyone come across this blog, my thoughts and ideas will be judged for themselves and will not be tainted by the bias that comes from knowing the author. If you do know who I am, please keep this information to yourself. I am a student.
