Reflection

After I finalize this blog, I realize that creating a blog is not as easy as I thought.Especially, when the purpose of the blog is something formal such as education.It is because the target audience are expected to gain knowledgee from the blog.Therefore, it is important to understand who are going to read the blog.

Furthermore, as a blogger we should consider about the cultural differences. As stated by Shrirato & Yell (1996) people make meaning as members of a particular culture, a particular society, and a particular community. Besides that Walsh (2006, p. 25) argue that understanding the cultural and social context contributes to making meaning of a given text. Thus, it makes me realize that creating a blog is not for individual purpose which I can write whatever I want. The blog can be access by everyone. So, blogger must really concern about the cultural differences.
