Joe Nocera

Over the past few weeks I observed the opinionated columns of Joe Nocera, taking a look at his views on everything going on in the world. He has a background in buisness and finance but covered a range of topics including health care, sports, and medicine. Nocera has a mind of his own and does not choose one side but rather qualifies and forms his own opinions. I was amazed at the research he put behind every column and how he made the reader look at a new side of the argument. Although Nocera writes about the problems of the world such as the failure of cancer treatments and medicine, sports scandals, and failing health care reform, he always brings up the good and shows a positive outlook for the future. Nocera believes in reform in all types of fields and points out what went wrong and how to fix these problems. He is not afraid to put exactly what he thinks out there and though it is just a simple op-ed column, it may inspire others to fix the corruption and wrongs of today.
