Introduction Jenny L. Davis conducted a study about Social Media and experiential ambivalence, in which she approaches the debate from an experimental perspective, evaluating the stories that people have told her about their relation to technology. Her qualitative study looks at the participant’s subjective experiences with social media, and how it influences them in their interpersonal communication and personal lives. She suggests that technological ambivalence is neither dystopic or utopic,…

Berendsen provided such a good opportunity for the Davis Service Group.

Mike Davis’s book Planet of Slums does a good job at analyzing world urbanization, poverty and describing the conditions in which the poorest people on earth live in, however I disagree with his opinion that the slums are a lost cause. In the book Davis, which is an urban historian, seeks to provide a better understanding of the rapidly increasing urban population, the extreme levels of poverty, and exploitation of the poor around the world. His book had a deep impact in how I define poverty as…

One of the foremost controversial arguments that Davis constructs regarding Bertrand de Rols is that she did, in fact, know that Arnauld du Tilh was not her genuine husband. Davis draws this conclusion from principally circumstantial evidence and crafty inference on her part. One of the chief historical documents, Coras’ Arrest Memorable, that she cites actually states the precisely opposite conclusion. Coras draws the reasonable conclusion that Bertrande knew nothing of the ingenious…

existed in it’s entirety. Angela Y. Davis articulates in her essay, “The Black Woman in the Community of Slaves,” that without women, the end to slavery would have been intangible. She discusses their role in community framing, culture preservation, and powerful resistance that is commonly overlooked. One could imagine how different life would be without the mere presence of a woman. Suddenly, life as we know it changes, and not for the better in any way. As Davis argues and I comply, women’s…

Have you ever worked on a group project before? If so, you know how important it is to have a strong team. Joshua Davis, author of La Vida Robot, and Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs, certainly think so. They both believe that in order to have a strong team, one must use their unique skills to contribute to their team’s success. In La Vida Robot, Davis describes a high school robotics team who use their combined talents to create a robot. This group consisted of four members: Lorenzo…

The final case study is about urban development in Davis, California. Urban development does not take place in a vacuum, and it is important to be sure that established assumptions about the development process are manifestly accurate. Property developers usually have their way, large corporations do homogenise the American landscape with indistinguishable retail outlets, and entrepreneurs, landowners, mainstream media, and local government also support this type of growth. In other words, what…

chapter “The Countercultural Quest of Christian Liberal Arts,” author Jeffery Davis explains the purpose and motive of education behind this liberal arts path. He states, “The pursuit of knowledge should start with wonder and curiosity, not the motive of controlling our destiny. A liberal arts education represents a quest for truth rather than an information download; it moves us toward the unknown every bit as much as the…

Mike Davis begins his argument, Let Malibu Burn: A Political History of the Fire Coast, with strong imagery: “consuming hundreds of homes in an inexorable march across the mountains to the sea” (par 1). Davis then constructs a premise that wildfires will continue to cause immense damage as long as private residential homes continue to exist in the Santa Monicas. He rebuts this premise by offering numerous historical examples such as the wildfire in 1835 in Jose Tapia's Rancho Topanga Malibu…

there was an abolitionist sentiment. The Union blockade of southern states was a factor that helped create the conditions for the bread riot. In the second volume of Jefferson Davis: A Memoir by His Wife, Mrs. Davis gives a similar but different retelling of the Richmond bread riot in 1863. While in his office, President Davis received word that…
