Assignment 6

I read The Publication of Your Personal Profile. The paraphrase I found is the research about how many workers of the same company would give out information about their private lives to someone they did not know at the fourth paragraph. The author presents this material to illustrate the point view given in the third paragraph-people such as teachers and potential employers can easily gain access to their students' or employees' profiles. Moreover, this example specify the view to the point that the employers can access to the profiles of employees even if it is restricted. The reason the author uses the material in this is because this resource does have real comment of somebody, but just involve a experiment and it can be present clearly through paraphrase.
The quotation I found is that J. Sunden, author of Material of Virtualities notes that Myspace and Facebook are a way in which people can "type [themselves] into being"...It explains the fact people display themselves and scrutinize others by typing something on the website, without communicating face-to-face, which causes more serious consequence of privacy being leaked. The reason why the author use quotation is that the saying, "type into being" is J. Sunden's unique expression about communicating by typing, which is more individual and vivider.
These two materials intervened in essay provide appropriate evidence to certain context and content and make the point of view more arguing and more persuasive.

Assignment 5

Actually, most of the history we encounter is written by the winners, though others recorded by the losers. watching on the Discovery Channel, reading on the books and hearing in the history classes, we built our knowledge of history stories and episodes easily and sometimes tell them to other people who are interested in. However, most people did not notice where they are from. Though it proves unapparent, if you read carefully, there still some trace of who wrote the history.
First of all, the history remains some clues of who described it, regardless it is from winners or losers. For example, the history written by winner usually call the condition one country (winner itself) defeated the former one "triumph", while loser (the latter one) call it "failure". The winners believe they will occupy that position forever and claim that is what they deserve. However, the losers describe that as temporary leaving-behind or even strategical adjustment manipulated by themselves clandestinely and the victory is at the corner.
secondly, we can not deny the fact most of record of history from the winners. It results from the people in winning countries are proud of what they attained and want to exaggerate the influence to stress the opponents. If such accomplishment is rare or hard to gain, it would prove the strongness of the winner. If that accomplishment is common or easy to reach, especially when the losers can never do it, the winners would emphasize the weakness of the losers. Nevertheless, the losers do not possess such vantage of pride to show themselves off. What they can do is just undertake the stigma passively and wait for next turning point-their victories. Then they can writer more than when they are losers.
