If you were to rename this era, what would you change the name to and why? (original name was given to you with your era and was on your reading packet) If I were to rename this era, I would name it “Tensions Rising.” This was the era that led right up to the Civil War, which means that it was this era that was responsible for the Civil War starting. There was a lot of tension in the air with the north and south being at constant debate. We saw them debate issues regarding the economy (the tariff of abominations), cultural (the morality of slavery), and socially (abolitionists and slave rebellions).

The idea of trying to persuade the class into buying into your idea required a much different approach than we are used to, as now class interaction is a much, much larger portion of the project. This approach was, in my opinion, much more involved and beneficial, but, at the same time, worse than a ‘normal’ research project. Being such a new method of presenting, there was a lot of confusion. I heard throughout the week, and even on the presentation day, that people still didn’t quite understand what they were doing. Fortunately, the solution is simple, we just need more experience and practice with this alternative approach to presenting.

“Google is my best friend,” said many people in today’s world. Technology was made to make life much easier than it is, but is it really making easier or is it making people stupid? In the article, Is Google Making Us Stupid?, author Nicholas Carr conveys a message to his readers on how he believes the internet is making people today stupid and how it is fake knowledge. Carr starts off with an explanation on how he feels while reading a book to get his readers to connect with him by letting his audience that he gets fidgety and zones out when reading and a lot of people can relate to this because they too can get fidgety and lose focus when reading a text. “For more than a decade now, I’ve been spending a lot of time online, searching and surfing and sometimes adding to the great databases of the internet,” (3). Carr goes to talk about his life surrounding the internet and how it brings upon the issues that he has when it comes to reading a single text. Carr uses many rhetorical devices such as imagery and personal experience to draw his readers in to inform and
Is Google making us stupid? That is a fascinating question with a not so simple answer. Nicholas Carr does a fantastic job of expressing his skepticism about Google; However, he does not bring much in the way of facts, uses broad speculation and relies on a few thoughts of others to bring his skepticism to light. Carr is not very convincing in his manner of trying to reach the rest of the world with his message that Google is hurting us rather than helping us.
