April 30th 2013 Shakespeare boosts the brain

Do you agree with the findings in the research?
      Yes i do agree with the findings of the research, however i do think they could have possibly found a way to do more tests on the subject.

can you think of any other possible explanations of the results?
                the brain gets stimulated while reading anyway, they should have done different kinds of books to see if it really was higher or how much higher those books were compared to others
      
assess the quality of the writing.
        i think the writing of this article was good. there weren't a lot of big words, therefore it was pretty easy to understand exactly what they were trying to say

April 29th 2013 "Entitlement Society"

In this Article at one point it states that it covers "..all major entitlement programs except veterans programs, and military and civil and service retirement.." I think there would be a lot of more information if that was in there. and I really think that they should be added in there because if they are some of the major entitlement programs then why would you leave those out? I think the quality of the writing could be a little better, it is good but they could make it easier for the reader to follow along since there all these different types of names like WIC, LIHEAP and so forth. I liked how they put a lot of their data into tables. I didn't like how long it was. for me the subject of the article was hard to read.
