A challenge: Becoming a GOOD Citizen
Posted on
February 7, 2012
Good morning everyone! We finally had some rain last night and
early this morning. I grabbed a quick picture on the way to the
Lodi City Council shirtsleeves meeting.
The council discussed mid-year expenses for all of the different
departments. I wrote a story with tidbits on the city's mid-year revenue a couple weeks ago, and
I'll have something similar in Wednesday's paper for the
expenses.
Today I wanted to write about a little challenge going on at
GOOD, a lifestyle blog and magazine. Every
month, they do a different challenge that has a daily task to make
you smarter about something, whether it's your finances or
fitness.
This month, they are doing a Become a GOOD Citizen challenge! Granted, we
are already seven days in, but you can always just pick a day to
start it and then do one task each day or play catch up.
So far, GOOD has challenged participants to: learn the history of your neighborhood,
read two opposing opinion pieces on the same
topic, learn about your elected representatives and
political issues, make a list of issues you are passionate about,
research the people and organizations working on
your issues, and today's challenge of visiting a political news source you don't agree
with.
Many of these challenges are something people should be doing
everyday because it is important to stretch outside your comfort
zone and make sure you understand not only what you believe but
what others belive.
I especially like the researching your own neighborhood
challenge, and will probably blog my findings once I finish.
I will also share the other challenges during the rest of the
month (in case people want to participate in only one or two).
So go check it out. If you do decide to try one of the
challenges, I would love to hear about your experience. You can
always comment or e-mail me at maggiec@lodinews.com.
Have a great Tuesday.
