    In his book entitled Public Thinking, Clive Thompson, a columnist for The New York Times, argues that historically the American culture has been primarily focused on reading, not writing, and this shift to multiple avenues of internet media has given millions an outlet to get writing and the ability to publish, thus contributing to an expansion of knowledge. He supports that claim by providing various examples of online composition such as blog posts, Facebook statuses, as well as Twitter tweets to describe the personal aspect of publishing online, but also represents the ability to share your creative “e-book” style writing when addressing fan fiction novels. Thompson proposes that internet writers continue to find their niches and collaborate…

    If advertisements were compared to side by side, a pattern of techniques to promote the products would start to emerge. Strategies such as having professionals or celebrities endorse the product and getting customers to give reviews for credibility, or using language as a tool to make claims that may or may not be true, sound convincing. “The Onion” parodies these ploys in an article in order to show how pretentious and unreliable adverts can be. To begin with, the article addresses the overused tactic of bringing professionals and customers to explain how well the product works to build up credibility.…

    The concerns of an eight year old are as drastically different from those of an eighteen year old as are the worries of a twenty eight year old are from those of a thirty eight year old; when imagining a person ten years superior to oneself, they often seem detached and un-relatable. In the words of every petulant child to their parent, “you just don’t get it.” When it boils down to it, are the generations really that different? One woman raised conservatively in the 1950s saw unbelievable progress is technology and societal norms, she also lived in fear of nuclear war and saw the president’s death; now she believes our world needs better representation and more honesty in our politicians and legislature. Living in a conservative family in…

Stated in paragraph it says that millennials grew up playing Xbox, playing soccer, and having dance recitals. It followed with a sentence saying we as millennials did not spend much time helping mom or dad in the yard. This is where I disagree.…

In this mock article from The Onion, the author jokingly pokes innocent fun at public advertising means through the usage of jargon, over exaggeration, and sarcasm.…

    The book Labor’s Love Lost by Cherlin brings to light how the disappearance of the working-class family, along with other cultural shifts, has changed and damaged this American icon. A once thriving and growing social class, with endless possibilities has since hit a brick wall of sorts fracturing their livelihood and the fact that nothing stable has replaced the declining male-breadwinner family has pushed this social class into crisis and has hastened the fall of the working-class family (Cherlin 2014: 5). This book would be a wonderful addition for historians, sociologists, policy-makers, concerned citizens, as well as anyone interested in becoming better advocates for those who have been most effected by the collapse of the working-class…
