I not entirely sure if we are suppose to write the two paragraphs for this blog since the directions weren't really specific. I guess I'll just write two anyways. I personally was really excited that we spent an entire class period watching someone play world of warcraft (still do not understand how anyone could figure out how everything works). Who knew that a person could spend a half a year playing one game? It's amazing! I still have a very important question though... why did the octopus on the staff only have four legs? I thought octopus were suppose to have eight legs.
My research topic is going to be how stars use their popularity to try and raise interest in politics and global causes, or the general lack of interest our generation seems to express towards, well, everything. My thesis's (that might be the plural spelling, I have no idea) are possibly going to be...
1. The use of celebrity influence has caused greater social awareness leading to the ultimate bettering of the world. (I'm not quite sure of the wording)
2. The seeming apathy the current generation has towards politics and global issues mainly stream from the media's influence over young people and the way the media portrays today's youth.

I feel that your topic is just two topics crammed into one: apathy and celebrity "obsession", and are not really related. That may just be me.
Thesis statement wise, I'm interested in seeing how you're going to argue the first one. I don't necessarily agree with it, but I think it is an interesting thing to argue!
