In with the new or stick to the old? Tough decision.

This week we have been asked to blog about what we think about changing the New Zealand flag.

I have chosen these four flags as my favorites because to me they speak "New Zealand". They also showcase New Zealand's culture and sports.

Reasons for changing the flag
I had just noticed that the New Zealand flag looks fairly similar to the Australian flag.That's the only thing that I'd like to change about the flag.

Reasons to stop the flag from being changed
My reason for not changing the flag is that changing the flag would probably take a while to get used to. Imagine one day we have our regular flag and the next you're looking at a whole new one. Some people say "Why can't Australia change their flag?" but I disagree. I don't think it works like that.

My opinion
I'm not really sure if I want the flag to be changed or not. It's a bit confusing. Changing the flag is not something I'd expect. I'm also not sure how they got the idea of changing the flag in the first place. It's not something I would think of doing myself. Well that's my opinion.

See you later folks!
