Our groups section was "The Global Village And The Electronic Colony." It was about the online social network that has bin created. It is talking about myths, the most popular myth is that technology is bringing all people together and in a sence creating a eutopia warew everyone is equal. Cynthia L. Selfe says that americans liketo believe that myth. It is the moste popular myth. The less popular ,myth is that by joining all nations as one in cyberspace and becomeing equals that americans will be looseing some privaleges because we are more powerefull than moste and by joining together and equalling poweres than we will be resigneing som of our power and the benifits that come with it. Salfe says that Americans think that they are leaders in the world, we see ourselves as a higher powere because of our culteral expieriences throughout history. We see ourselves as founders therefore we dont think we are really equals but we are, It is just in our owm mindes that we are above all other countries.
In Sules essay she says "Inhabitance of this electronic global village, in turn, become,forigners, exotics, savages, object to study" ( paragraph 16.) In this quote i think what sulfe is tryuing to say is that everyone in the world who is a part of the cyber networking world is a forigner. Because weare all from diffrrent places we all see eachother as forigners. However at the same time noone is a foriner because we all belong to the cyber network, therefore we all fit in. However we are infact foroigners because of the way we see eachother and how people see us.
Welcome!
Welcome to our Eng 100 Blog “Conversations Beyond the Classroom”! The title of this blog refers to the community of active readers & collaborative learners we are creating by sharing our academic writing for Eng 100 with each other + a larger group of students, instructors, academics, and just about anybody who chooses to follow our blog! When you write and post your reader responses here (and, later, as you write your essays for the course), I encourage you to use this audience to conceptualize who you are writing for and, most important, how to communicate your ideas so that this group of academic readers and writers can easily follow your line of thinking. Think about it this way: What do you need to explain and articulate in order for the other bloggers to understand your response to the essays we’ve read in class? What does your audience need to know about those essays and the authors who wrote them? And how can you show your readers, in writing, which ideas you add to these “conversations” that take place in the texts we study?
As students of Eng 100, you will use this blog to begin conversations with other academic writers on campus (students and instructors alike). We become active readers of each other’s writing when we comment on posts here. And, best of all, we are using this space to share ideas! We encourage you to use this blog to further think through the topics and writing strategies you will be introduced to this quarter. As always, be sure to give credit to those people whose ideas you borrow for your own thinking and writing (you should do this in the blog by commenting on their post, but you will also be required to cite what you borrow from your peers/instructors if and when it winds up in your essays. More details on that later…).
Finally, keep in mind that writing to and for this audience is a good way to prepare for the panel of readers (faculty at WCC) who will be reading and assessing your writing portfolio at the end of the quarter. We hope that as a large group of active readers, we can better prepare each other for this experience. But, in the meantime, let’s have fun with it! I am really excited see how far we can take this together!
