177 Words1 Pages
Looking back at Boyd’s overall argument, she believes that people must learn and develop skills to become digitally literate which enables them to understand the programs that went into building all the electronic device that people use on a daily basis. She was able to give the reader a variety of sub-claims and evidence to support her argument. She wants other to know how important digital literacy is and how it effectively changes the way you think and process information from the internet.

The argument selected by Dylan was really interesting since I have native heritage. The argument “Ned Blackhawk, argues that Native American sovereignty is being threatened by a recent appeal to the Supreme Court by the Dollar General Corporation.” (Morales-Dacy, 2015). After reading the article myself I can agree with Dylan that the claim is valid in the argument.

In this article, the senator Bernie Sanders had a strong debate with the nominee to deputy by the president donald trump, russel Vought; about a post made by russel bought in 2016 implying that the Islamic community did not know Christ, and that's why they were going to be condemned. What Sanders considered discriminatory towards the Islamic community, and unleashed a long debate that had nothing to do with the current topic which was relevant to Russell's role in government. This discussion caused controversy because Senator Bernie Sanders was accused by some people of violating article IV of the constitution. This is a very complex issue because the statements made by Vought can be taken in many different ways because they are related to

John Tierney’s piece is very interesting. It goes against I and many other people have been taught when it comes to recycling. As I read his article I kept saying to myself, oh wow, I never taught of that or that is an interesting perspective. When it comes to the environment I am not someone who keeps up with it

In this paper, I will focus on Bonnie Steinbock’s claim on whether or not we should give equal moral consideration to species outside our own species group. I will first determine what moral concern means, according to Peter singer, and explain how he views the human treatment of animals. I will then outline Steinbock’s argument against Singer’s position and explain how her criticism is part of a much broader issue: that is moral concern. I will finally make my argument against Steinbock as well as address any issues she could possibly raise against my argument. Peter Singer believed that all species, whether it be human or non-human, deserve equal consideration of interests and quality of life.

Pariser explains how it is important in research or everyday exchanges with technology to contain a wide variety of information, but these filter bubbles instead give us "information junk food" instead of a "balanced information diet" (Pariser 5:02). Pariser uses that metaphor to explain why algorithms need to be developed with people in mind and give the researcher a sense of control over what the filters block out. Pariser's argument that we need to understand and essentially control these algorithms illustrates Boyd's argument. Boyd begins to argue that we need to understand these algorithms before we can be digitally literate. Boyd uses that claim to show that these so called digital natives are not already digitally literate.

Because, nowadays, e-readers are developed enough, her article could play an important role in making e-readers a significant tool for education. Moreover, the author is motivated to write the article as the number of the articles which discuss the impact of e-reader on reading practice of children is low. In addition to choosing the right time, Larson shows credibility in her article because of her experience as an instructor in the field of learning technologies. Furthermore, the case study, which is done by the author, makes the information believable. Also, the author is fair and respectful by not attacking people who read printed books to show the pros of e-reader.

I volunteered at Alternatives on December 1 from 10am-12:30pm in Robbie’s Room. There I assisted Logan, the director of Robbie’s Room, by cleaning the craft closet. We removed art boxes that were not used often and placed them in the shed. We also cleaned out what Alternatives calls “Birthday Kits.” These kits are donated and contain a birthday cake mix, icing, a toy, a coloring book, crayons, a toy and often bubbles.

Doug, I am very interested in applying to be an Astin Scholar, and I wanted to get your thoughts on an idea I had for the application 's research proposal. As you probably already know, getting the homeless housed is one of the top goals of activists and non-profits today. Their argument is that a housing-first approach gives a homeless individual the dignity and motivation they need to begin the hard work of turning their life around and integrating back into society. I thought I could do an analysis of the mental health of homeless individuals who aren 't housed, versus the mental health of those who are. I am unsure of what sort of a methodology I would use to collect my data, but I feel my concept would make for profound research.

BJ Miller’s first view point is that we all need a reason to wake up, however, I do not completely agree with this idea. God is the reason why we wake up or do not wake up, but we do have things to do when we wake up, so this point is somewhat valid. BJ raises a good point about all of us being patients for all humans have aliments that bothers them in life whether medical or psychological. I do believe the speakers concept that the American health care system is flawed for I have witnessed this myself while being a patient. Consequently, many American do not have access to the health care they need for they are uninsured or do not have enough money for the co-payments.

He starts his argument by telling us the effect the internet has had on him and others he has come across. The internet has changed his train of thought and his ability to focus and concentrate. He believes our brains have been reprogramed over time to adjust to the speed and convenience of the internet. Our ability to retain and digest traditional media has also been compromised since we are used to receiving information so rapidly. This is a strong opening argument for his essay.

LaFarge (2016) stated, “The internet reduces us to mindless clickers, racing numbly to the bottom of a bottomless feed; but done well, it has the potential to expand and augment the very contemplative space that we have prized in ourselves ever since we learned to read without moving our lips” (n.p.). The internet can be a bad thing if not used wisely but it can also be a great way to learn new information. LaFarge (2016) also describes the different ways reading has changed over history and he explains that digital reading is just a new part of reading history. Reading has changed dramatically throughout history, and reading now is very different from how it was in the past. Reading in print allows people to take their time when they read the information while reading online is seen as being best suited for fast and empty

With both sources making arguments for the use of technology in computers in classrooms it becomes hard to believe that an education can occur in this society where technology is everywhere among all ages. Furthermore, the consideration of the bias on technology being that there is an incorrect view that does not allow for the actual effectiveness of these technologies creates a barrier from the a more intensive use of technology in education. As this more intensive inclusion would allow for a complete preparedness of students who will be in the modern society's job markets in the upcoming years. Consequently many people are using technology outside of the classroom for a educational basis to bridge the gap between a formal education and what is required of modern society. Ultimately in my experience along with the data provided by the other researchers technology is everything in education and the stigma of the loss of manual learning as in handwriting work, the use of paper textbooks, etc. has to be disregarded for the correct development of students in the United

Literacy has quickly developed into more than skills you can pick up with a pen and paper. Not only is the material 21st century learners are reading is more advanced, it is also being consumed through means never before used. For example, one of the biggest ways people used to receive news, weather and read information was the newspaper. Now with the expansion of a number of free online newspapers, magazines, journals and blogs, the way readers consume their media is ever changing. In most of the first world, the definition of literate has extended beyond just being able to read and write on paper.

Digital reading has made it easier to access the information, rather than trying to search for it through hundreds of pages in a book. Society has changed a great deal over time, and for the reason that society has changed so has the way people read. Has our fast changing society caused the way people read to change also? Literature Review In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” by Nicholas Carr (2008), Carr explains how digital reading changes the way a person reads and comprehends the information.
