Abhi commented on the post, Where American Values Come From
Hi Jack,
I thought your post on where American values come from was very intriguing and I agree with what you’re saying. Families play a very big role in who we are and what we believe in.

Abhi commented on the post, Climate Change and the Ocean
Dear Allison,
I really liked your post “Climate Change and the Ocean” because it outlined some key facts that are important. I believe that we need to do something about this because if we wait, it will be too late. I think that we shouldn’t ignore what the science is saying and take action. How do you think we can help stop global warming?

Hi Abhi! I really enjoyed really reading this article. From reading this post, it reminded me of what our country built its foundation on. Since you used mostly old documents I would also recommend looking at what not only our founding fathers looked on, but also the perspectives of other philosophers and their take on what Americans valued during that time period. I’d recommend looking at posts like the Magna Carta, or the works of John Locke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Essay_Concerning_Human_Understanding
