		<title>The Socal Aspects of a Church Group</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Social Aspects of a Church Group
Since the dawn of existence, we have always wanted to belong. For many people, Church has repeatedly been seen as a group worth belonging to. For others it is seen as a hopeless waste of time. Whatever your stance may be, I think we can agree that church attracts [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is Wrong with School?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself&#8221;

Should teachers make more or less money based on the performance of their students? If so, how would we objectively measure something as subjective as performance? Some would say that standardized test scores are the key metric to base teachers&#8217; pay off of. But honestly, how [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Call to Action</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Understanding the Port Huron Statement
It is not unusual in life to demand more than what is available at any given time, be it financially motivated or influenced by something deeper.

		<title>Finding Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Is it just me or does it seem increasingly difficult to find time to get everything accomplished? My backlog of projects and tasks that have been put on hold is building up, and this site is one such project.
Yes, I started out with the bold ambition to blog everyday without fail. Much good that did! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Outliers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is the second book by Gladwell I&#8217;ve read, (the first being Blink) and once again he does not disappoint. Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell poses some pretty interesting ideas, not due to their complexity, but rather due to their simplicity. These are the kinds of statements that you&#8217;ve probably always wondered about in the back [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Reality of Virtual Communities</title>

With the internet becoming more functional everyday, people all over the world are finding new [...]]]></description>

		<title>Finding the Cheese in Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes big things can come in small packages, as with the short story titled “Who Moved My Cheese?” After first flipping through the pages of this thin 96-page book, I was surprised that it wasn’t supposed to be in the children’s section of the bookstore. I noticed the large font, wide margins and simple syntax [...]]]></description>

The Internet has impacted our lives in more ways than we can describe and yet we seldom know the names and faces behind the brands, products and services that made it all possible. Everyday, we check our email, buy gifts, track stock prices, read news articles and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Research Project to King of the Web
Due to the rapid growth of the Internet in the 1990s, we have seen an influx of web companies come and go over the years. Some were far too bent on turning a quick profit and failed to satisfy their customers. Others simply imitated already established companies, and [...]]]></description>
