the following are some comments on three of our colleagues blogs that we found interesting.
Urban Form and Culture captured our interest as it share similarities to the Culture in Urban entertainment. Reading the article under the title of Integrating Disabilities Through Infrastructure brought awareness to some of the societal degradation that people with disabilities may face. Infrastructure is also linked to entertainment, as buildings and public spaces are created with architectural designs for our enjoyment and entertainment. Street entertainment can be considered an adopted culture and is vastly enjoyed by the majority of citizens, but as our colleagues stated there is no specific structure allocated for people with a disability to take part in activities that relates to it. It is definitely something that deserves consideration by the government authorities.

The blog on Urban Diversity in Chaguanas allowed for the insight of entertainment within that area via their post titled YOUNG AND HUNGRY . They incorporated globalization as the major influence for the diverse selection of food within the area, which can be linked directly to entertainment in Port of Spain, as these two areas may share this similarities. It allowed for the acculturation of local cuisine and western cuisine, and the adaptation of the western palette by Trinidadians as suggested by the bloggers. Another blog titled A CARIBBEAN GROVE by the same authors of the later, reflected upon several services offered to the people were also mentioned as means of entertainment such as the cinemas and malls.
The blog URBAN ST JAMES, was simple and
well designed it reviewed the various activities and land usage within one of
the most vibrant and active fringe areas of Port of Spain. It showed activities
in time and space and the effects of globalization on local food culture. The blog
captured many aspects or elements that affect urban systems such as urban sprawl,
culture, social interactions, food culture, Religion and carnival to name a
few. What impressed me with this effort
is the effective use of photos to bring across their ideas. This made the posts easier to read and the delivery
of the topics was very effective.
Although we commented on only three blogs our group found many of the others were very interesting. At first for our group the idea of creating a blog seemed very challenging. however with persistence our task became a reality. Blogging is a skill that has become a fundamental component of social networking and a way to disseminate information. Many established organizations apart from a website also utilize blogs to personalize their customers online experience and share information in an informal way, they are also another way to create an individual presence on the web. Over the past couple of weeks this assignment has challenged our group creative skills and has given us exposure and experience to a new digital communication skill.
