NOTES THOUGHTS PEER RESPONSE QUESTIONS


McWhorter
Texting isnt writing
Speech then writing
We speak in packets of
7-10 words
People sometimes
write like they speak
LOL is a marker of
empathy
New texts between
youth change over
time

I dont know if I would
say that texting is
hurting language, but I
dont think its helping it.
But, texting is definitely
changing language. How
certain words are used
and how often a word
comes up shows us that
our language is
structurally changing.
When McWhorter
mentioned going
forward in time to see
how youth spoke. It
would show how the
language has differed
over time.
I dont believe that
texting is hurting
language either. I think
that as time change, so
do many other things,
including language. I also
agree with the
statement about going
forward to see how
youth spoke would
definitely show how
language has differed
over time.
Where will texting go in the
future?
Will it continue to evolve?
Or will it die out and something
else replace it?
Erard
When the author left
Facebook, it was
abrupt and sudden.
He wrote how east it
was to leave
Facebook, not having
to deal with goodbyes
and also how easy it
was to return to it.
Major thesis was
about how Facebook
changed his
relationships with
friends, family, etc.
Likened leaving
Facebook to leaving a
party.
I agree with the authors
stance. While the only
reason I still have one is
to keep in touch with my
friends I dont see
anymore, the temptation
to just be done with it is
tempting. I have gotten
to know a few people
better by using
Facebook. I keep in
touch with my German
exchange student over
Facebook.
I agree that it is a great
way to keep in touch
with old friends but at
the same time can be
too much. Some thing
should be personal and
not shared, and many
people dont know
where to draw the line
on the info they share.
Will Facebook continue to be left
behind in social media?
Was the author annoyed with the
lack of online communication
between him and his friends on
Facebook after he quit?
Is this why Facebook is still
surviving, because people cant
stand to be out of touch?
Moor
Garb of 21
st
century
workers are much
different than the
media portrays it
People buy outdoor
gear but never put it
to good use
NatGeo and Discovery
Channel have shows
that misleads viewers
about the wild
To show their
ruggedness, tough
guys go to extreme
lengths to show they
are outdoorsy
I agree with the majority
of this article. The
comparison between
blue collar and white
collar outdoorsmen
portrayed well how each
side put their equipment
to use. Also the false
belief by TV viewers that
a survivor like Man vs.
Wild can come out of a
situation unscathed is
common, which its not.
I agree the TV shows are
false but still pretty fun
to watch. The shows can
still pretty informational
also.
-Moiz
The authors sequence was outdoor
fashion, fake survivalist shows,
health nuts, going to camp then
being a counselor, which was his
personal anecdote.
Langdale
The immigration
process in the US is
flawed.
Earning citizenship can
take up to 28 years.
The visa lottery system
is an unsafe method
Studies have shown
that immigrants have a
much smaller impact
in American workers
than many believe
Getting in on a student
visa is hard enough,
even harder with
higher tuition and
getting a safe job
I think there should be a
more improved system
of letting immigrants in.
even though the fianc
visa is a hard way to get
into the country and
rushes the marriage, I
believe its more
financially safe than a
student visa. I dont
understand why we
wouldnt let in an Ivy
League educated,
successful entrepreneur
stay in the US.
I agree that students
should be able to stay in
the country for work
opportunities. But
people who apply for
visas are hard working,
but if we grant
citizenship to all
immigrants who apply,
then we would have a
huge population crisis to
deal with.
-Taylor Kinmann
How should the US reform the
system to make it fair to all
immigrants who apply?
Should a fianc visa be an easier to
get in on rather than a student
visa?
Lawson and Doll
Overall purpose is to
dispel Hollywood
myths about romance
Starts main beginning
points of paragraphs in
bold
Covers a broad list of
unlikely situations that
Hollywood shows
Exposes well that
romantic popular culture
isnt as realistic as
Hollywood makes it. The
article almost sounds
satirical in a way. I
agreed with most of the
points made in this
article.
I agree with points of
your notes and thoughts.
I think it is interesting
how negative he is
throughout the passage.
Like you said, he used
not and will not a lot
-Adam Walsh
Will Hollywood continue to
support these romantic fallacies?
Will there be a movie that
purposely dispels these myths?
Dunn
Flies can actually be
beneficial to us
They have adapted
from horse poop to
our garbage to dog
poop to landfills
Individual flies have
traveled up to 10
miles.

Virtual relationships makes
dating more appealing
In online games, the
social/dating aspect is still
very important
If youre antisocial, you
dont have to see each
other, just IM
Many questions arise if its
okay to cheat on your
online relationship
Talk shows have changed
from a personal touch to
getting online feedback
over twitter
Hosts have had to change
their persona and tactics
because of a lack of
audience
No longer camaraderie
among audience and host

I dont count virtual dating
as real dating but you
should treat your partner
the same as your real life
partner. I dont think
cheating in an online
relationship should be
illegal.










I believe that online dating
should be considered
cheating because you have
a relationship with
someone else. The
emotional connection of an
online relationship is
cheating.
Will these virtual relationships
continue to strive or will they grow
extinct over time?
Will online games begin to add
dating components to them?
























Ray, Begley
S Alan Ray discusses the
benefits of having a more
sexually orienated diverse
college community, and
why LGBT applicants
should receive
scholarships.
Purpose: connecting
underrepresented
students with valuable
resources on campus.
Their admissions office
doesnt think applicants
will lie about their
orientation to get in
Chatzky
We prefer current
consumption to future
consumption.
Neuroscientists are able to
rev up the saving part of
the brain to disable to
spending part of the brain
When given a choice,
patients choose current
consumption.
I think its important to
have a diverse campus, and
Elmhurst figured out how
to do just that. But I do
disagree about the
scholarships given to the
LGBT applicants. I think it is
great that these minorities
can get into these colleges,
but they have far more
preferential treatment than
they would otherwise get
at other colleges.
I agree, I do not think that
Elmhurst should have given
the LGBT applicants
opportunities for
scholarships. They should
be given the opportunity
get in but not if they lie.
-Sangeeta
Is being materialistic bad?
Is how you were raised correlate to
how you behave now?
Should scholarships be rewarded
to whoever because its private
money?
