My blog is about economics, which
is related to my future field. Before I doing the blog project, I just have a
few knowledge of economy even I am in the economics major. I thought economy is
all about the money. However, it is not only the studies of monetary, but also
studies the people’s behavior to the market, the government’s policy, bank’s
operation mode, allocation of resources, etc. The blog project helps me to
better know the economic in many different aspects, such as interview,
Internet, books, articles, debate, and news.
Even though the process is
suffering, the result is valuable. I learned many things from this project
based on the knowledge of economic. Firstly I learned some knowledge
of economic. I started the research with some questions. Such like what kind of
jobs related to economic; what is the work condition for an economist; why the
major economics belongs to social science but not business. In the very
beginning, the answers I found are very cryptic because I was lack of knowledge
of the economics at that time. My knowledge was built little by little every
week. Personally, I think blogging is a good way to develop myself from reading,
analyzing, and writing something about economics. Not only from reading some
academic article by economist, but also watching video about what is economy,
analyzing diagram of circulation of money in the market, or interviewing the
economist.
I post the blogs in many different
forms, not only the texts, but also some images, diagrams, a song, and a video.
I thought using different forms of blog could make me feel interesting and
maybe can attract the audience who read my blog. For an example, I post a
picture of cartoon shows the relationship between the banker, the citizen, and
the government. I talked about the information that reflected from the picture the banks are like the finical
intermediations that borrow money from citizen and lend money to firms. Based
on the cartoon, I also did research to find a history fact, which is the Great
Depression in 1992 that can relate to the cartoon. I combined these two ideas
together to give myself a better and deep thought.
Besides the knowledge I learned in the economic field, I also learned some
strategies of writing and reading literacy. Reading the article written by the
economic professor can help me to improve using the academic language in the
economic field. I can learn some academic vocabularies from their articles. However,
I should continue to develop the mystery of the economic world after finish
this project.
