I went back to this website to reread what i had skimmed over the last time I posted.
http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/identity-personal/
I am most concerned with the first question Olson addresses: "Who am I?" and his "Accounts of Our Identity Over Time". but on further inspection into his article, I'm not satisfied with his answers, nor have I found one for myself, and so, I'm going to look for a better source than this one today.

Since some of his information is a bit too eccentric for me, I went to the college library website and researched personality. I found an ebook that I prefer due to the author's more scientific approach; I appreciate how Abraham refers back to medicine and biology to prove his point rather than the philosophical approach of Olson. Abraham Myerson's book "The Foundation of Personality" is founded on the connection between the body and the mind and personality.

I think researching this topic may be more difficult to follow than I anticipated because of it's philosophical nature and infinite variables that affect it. We know what causes our brains to work and function: through nerve impulses, hormones, etc. We know  that no person is the same because of their life experiences, but the answer as to why we are so complicated (why we act, react, and feel the way we do about ourselves) is more abstract.

Blog Brainstorm

Possible Topics:

-Teaching                                       -Genetics
-Communication/Society               -Internet

Questions:
-How does the brain enable us to communicate and process language?
-What genes code for unibrows? What flips the switch for a gene?
-What determines preference? Creates personality? What are feelings-how are they created? Humor?
-Who invented the comb? Toothbrush? Toilet? The question mark?
-Why do we act the way we do in society? Follow unspoken rules?
-Is there underlying meaning behind Alice in Wonderland?
-Who determines what is taught in schools? Best approach to teaching students?
-Why do people bite their nails?

Today I tried to come up with a topic and question to expand on. It was pretty hard because I was interested in almost all of my topics and questions, but I finally decided on pursuing what creates personal identity and our perceptions of ourselves. I looked on Google just to start off and get an idea of what could encompass this topic; I found this website: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/identity-personal/
