Essentially, the benefits of blogging become evident as soon as one recognises the quality in failing. Steve Covey would say that failure equals opportunity. All we need to do is recognise that opportunity. Roy Blumenthal would explicitly state that in blogging, we have to take complete responsebility for the kind of information we display to a public forum such as this one. This should teach us- amature bloggers, to write reflectively and proactively. This all reminds me of ethnomusicological research methods that require you to think rationally by writing in a reflective way.
In Venda, each night we would right about our experiences of vhaVenda's music and its function in their culture. We would then look at our understanding of their music and culture as outsiders and how our presence affected the way we learned to become like them. The aim was to think about their music and culture the way that they do.
This brings me to my point about the benefits of blogging. I am discovering more things about myself,the way I view others and possible ways of managing my weaknesses through my interaction with others as they are the observers of what I do.
