Muwabi Economic Forum

Hello and welcome to my website. I just started this website/blog and am just getting ideas regarding what I want to do with it. Mostly, it is a place for me to organize my thoughts and record some of my opinions. This is an opportunity to motivate myself to actively engage in some of the issues I feel passionate about and learn a lot about myself. Often times, we hold back our opinion and do nothing to change issues because we aren’t powerful enough to make a difference. While I am under no illusion that I will change anything meaningful, this will motivate me to at least be part of the effort. This database of articles can help me track my thought patterns and record knowledge I acquire in my reading, work, discussions, and everyday life.

The initial format is going to be similar to a blog. I will try to post articles once a day on any subject that I feel strongly about. Typically that will be related to news, politics, or popular culture but there will also be plenty of commentary about psychology, sociology, sports, funny stories, observations, and other interesting topics worth writing about. As I begin to accumulate more content, I will link another page from MuWabi.com to past articles.. On this blog page, I welcome anybody that would like to debate or comment about my article or that particular subject matter. Don’t hold back criticizing my position or disagreeing with me- I welcome intelligent discussion. If you don’t want to formally post, no problem, I’m not expecting much response. I’d still love to hear what you think though. Also, if you’d like to give me an article of your own to post, I’d be happy to put it on the website. A few other things:

• I’m not a professional journalist and am really not concerned with doing excessive research to compile exact evidence or statistics to back up my opinions. I’ll include evidence that I know off the top of my head but none of these articles will be extensively researched. Therefore, I may get facts wrong from time to time or exclude very relevant arguments. Feel free to correct me or add anything you want but I don’t want people to think this is my best effort at supporting my initial opinions. Again, this is just a leisure activity that I am doing for my own benefit of organizing my thoughts.

• I will definitely take controversial positions from time to time and even criticize certain things. I have no intention of offending anyone, however. If something is stated too harshly or is offensive, please let me know so I can clarify or correct myself.

• Another reason I’m doing this website is that my dream job would be in journalism. I chose business because journalism is a difficult industry to find great success in. If you have any contacts or insight into that industry, however, I’d love to hear about it. I think this little website is a great way to enjoy writing without taking it too seriously.

• At this stage, I don’t intend to overly publicize this website. While this may be something to consider down the road, I don’t expect a large quantity of site visits. I’m not doing this for the attention or publicity; this is merely a personal project. With that being said, I’d love to make this a forum for daily discussion and get as many visitors as possible. If you visit, don’t be shy about telling me and giving me feedback.

Thanks a lot for visiting and come back again!

Dan
