I'm putting everything together now and after a lot of work and stress I have finally finished the project. At first I had some negative thoughts about the project; complaining that it's very long, and having some difficulty getting some information on the history of alcohol. In the begining I thought it was a good topic and I will have lots to say and do about it. Also thought about the variety of alcohol there is, how its impacting our society in a positive and negative way and since it hasn't been banned or suspended, how good is the profit the companies make from it.
As soon as things were not going as good as I thought they would I started panicing, I couldn't get enough information and I was having trouble with meeting up with my group members.
I have learnt a lot from this project and one of the things that has stood out for me while doing my research was that heavy drinking that previously wasn't possible is a result to alcohol being easily accessable. It is not as hard as it was before to get hold of alcohol and regardless what your age is, what is important to business owners today is the money that they will be receiving and don't give much thought to what effects their actions might have and the effects that occur to ordinary citizens. I'm not saying selling alcohol is a bad thing or that alcohol should be banned in South Africa because most people enjoy it but it's the effects and what it causes when abused!
I have enjoyed hearing what other had to say about their own topics that they have chosen and also giving my opinion about the project. Blogging has been so much fun and has actually been the best part of the project.
