Third Blog Post Assignment

My inquiry question is: do religious people live longer lives? At this time, I don't really know who my audience will be because I guess it depends on what you believe. I think my audience might be people who are learning how to live longer and healthier lives from all aspects of life. I believe my topic is timely in the sense that my topic is focusing on a person's life span. Now a days, many people are trying new things and figuring out ways to live longer lives because they are unhealthy. To be honest with you, I think I'm invested in this topic because it's reminded me of the conversations me and my mother have a lot of the time. My mother has always given me advice about how it's important to have faith because you will be blessed and rewarded later on in life for your good deeds. I decided to actually do some research on this topic and the different viewpoints I've been reading have been interesting. I think our high school teachers didn't want us personally invested in our writing because they didn't think we were really mature enough for it yet. In college, you are pretty much your own person and you can do whatever you want because everyone is "officially" an adult. I'm starting to find  multiple viewpoints but I'm mostly finding the viewpoints that match mine. One new thing that I've found is that there have been actual studies done on people who are religious veruses those who are not. During the process of researching, you find out that there are so many different ways of thinking and people have a lot of opinions. I've commented on Janie's blog because it's almost similiar to my topic and I think its something interesting and personal which gives her blog a true passionate feeling.
