As some of you may (or may not) know, CNN and YouTube are hosting a debate in which all of America has the chance to ask questions. These questions can be about anything that you want. For my ENGL 030 class, we had to make our own question and submit it. Since we all have had practice making a large video for our IST class, I would suggest submitting a question to this debate. Head to the site and check out what the rules are. Then get on submitting your own. Who knows? You may get some face time on national television. Here is my question about Globalization.

I think the YouTube debates are a good idea. In the traditional debate forum people do not get the opportunity to ask questions to the candidates. This allows for the issues of the people to be directly addressed by the Presidential candidates. Perhaps the Internet will get people more involved and lead to a truer democracy.

Very valid questions, DJ. I too agree Globalization is one of our more important issues. Information trading is increasing the globalization trend exponentially; our candidates have to express knowledge in this area. I'm tired of politics being about image instead of the ability to deal with current situations.

Nice to see someone getting involved. I say this because I completely missed the boat on submitting a question. But, from what I've been hearing, CNN doesn't host the most honest debates, anyway. Go figure, another grey area for politics/

That's actually really interesting. Isn't it funny how IST110H and English 030 manage to overlap? That happened to me all the time this semester.
