#01: On certainty This, I fear, is my letter to the world. Let it be known that at this point in time I am in possession of something of extreme value. Some might even call it the value. I am in possession of certainty. I know things, in fact, I know everything. This certainty is shared by many of my peers and it is a certainty that disallows any reason or logic to filter through to its steely resolve. It is the certainty that is born from youth. It is the certainty that allows some to succeed…

During this semester, I uncovered a multitude of literacy practices that the discourse community used to address on another whenever communicating. There were active members on Tumblr that had a very interactive online community were the fans would write, share, and exchange feedback about The Walking Dead. Studying The Walking Dead I cultivated a way to connect to the fandom community through literacy. When I started this class, I thought literacy was simple just reading and writing. However,…

However, I did discover that Spiegelman is the topic of quite a few fan-accounts on Instagram and Twitter, none of which helped my research. On Tumblr, I found an official account for Spiegelman’s WORDLESS! project, but Maus was only mentioned due to its Pulitzer Prize. Snapchat had no results.…

popularity. Obviously, the fault is on the media. There's also countless studies on the effect of media on depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.

These apps and websites can also encourage an addictive state onto the users, the same way someone needs their coffee or cigarettes. What’s the first thing someone does when they wake up? Check their phone. When they’re in an awkward…

the sake of this essay. It was, to me, an immediate connection after my research. It really didn't seem like any other college had a chance against Clark in my mind. Something that has really stuck by me was that by random chance I met someone on tumblr who is currently enrolled in Clark. I am friends with him on snapchat and always seeing the pictures of campus actually make my chest ache from how much I want to go to this college. To me, meeting someone who actually goes to the school and…

In his satirical folk song “Talkin’ Seattle Grunge Rock Blues”, Todd Snider said the alternative to alternative was a band that wasn’t even together. However, with the internet becoming such a creative force, the alternative to alternative has become more than a joke. With the advent of the internet, new genres are birthed and begin to gain popularity daily, most without any trace of a record label to their names. The term “Indie used to mean without a record deal, all by themselves”, but was…

The political ideology I identify the most with is liberalism. Liberalism is basically equality for all, no matter race, gender, class, sexual orientation, or religion. Liberalism typically wants more federal government involvement in social issues and economic issues. My main focus on liberalism is social issues. Coming from a family that is in touch with their faith, while at the same time does not go to church often; my parents are liberal themselves. Both of my parents have been…

Although most of the parents and the older generation discourage social media due to the seriousness of cyber attack, sexualisation and paedophiliac actions social media also has many positives. When teens use such websites as Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr and twitter, there will always be a negative and positive effect on the person.
