sociological approach

I would like to apologize for not posting something yesterday. That however does not mean that I did not do something to better me in this journey towards becoming a better writer and thinker. I definately did. I talked to one of my good friends about wanting to be a writer and as always he was very supportive and encouraged me to go ahead and do this. He said I should take baby steps when it comes to reading. Try and read a chapter of a book everyday and then reflect on it. Write my thoughts on what I read and that should help me do better in my writting. He also went ahead to say the same thing Rose had told me, read, read, and read more. I have to say that I feel like I have no choice right now but just read. May be not my thing, but I will definately try.
That was yesterday.
What have I done today to better my writting? I tried to read afew things here and there and I have to say not all of them were interestiing. However I read one of my friends blog and he is asking the question whether Africa will go hungry forever. He says the reason behind the hunger is the fact that we have a higher population and the food production is not big enough to support the high population. I have tried to analyse that article and look at it in a sociological perspective but its just not coming together. I need to revisit my theories and see what direction am going to take. Once thats done, I will let you know what my take is on this one.
