Patriarchy

In my opinion i think England and many other countries are ruled by a patriarchal society. I mean a good amount of the worlds leaders are men. Also men have always been the more dominant force. Now I am not saying that its right that men have always had power, but I am merely stating a fact. Patriarchy is prevalent in many other cultures and societies. It's not just England. The way that Woolf talks about men tho is so one sided. I know that the male race has made it hard for women to have power, or to seize some sort of power. But how can you chastise a whole sex. I looked at a past issue of the Boston Globe, and if there was a being from a different planet of course he would think that our society is a patriarchal one. There are so many male politicians and so many males that hold power. In any newspaper, I think that there would be an overwhelming amount of male faces that female. Thats not to say that females don't have power. All in all i think that the dominance of the male population in the world and in the media is very overwhelming but there is always room for change.

Breakin Down The Woolf

This book no doubt is easily up there with the most confusing books to read. There aren't really paragraphs and there aren't really pauses in the reading. Also the chapter is a good twenty one pages long. So if a sophomore in high school would actually have to read this book. I would tell him that this is a book about the hardships of women. And the hardships that she has to go through herself. There are many examples of how the women in the book are not shown the respect that they deserve. For instance the fishing scene and the library scene are perfect examples. She also talks about how poor women are. And to do anything women have to have money. The narrator in this story is always interrupted when she is doing something that she enjoys by a man or figure of authority. This is how i would describe this to my little cousin.

The Worst Thing Ive Ever Read

Ann Coulter is easily the worst person on earth right now. Taking away a womans right to vote. After countless women have did all that work to get women to vote. And now shes is basically throwing it back in their faces. She is a disgrace to all women out there. What was running through her head when she wrote that. Its awful and i dont understand it. The fact that she makes fun of the Democratic party for not having enough men supporting them is ridiculous. If it even is true that the Democratic party is mainly supported by women should make her happy. It means that women actually care aobut politics and they have a voice out there. Reading that post just made my day so much worse thank you Anne Coulter. Thank you for ruining my day.

Cox vs. Zuniga 17B

Id would be more inclined to go with Cox. One because she speaks with a real voice. And by real voice means she doesnt sugar coat anything. The way she speaks about her job and how lazy she was. Its as if she is speaking about everyone whos had a job. I just like her writing. So im sure her blogs would be enjoyable. I think she would be very appealing to alot of younger viewers. Because she sounds like one of us. And it is easier to understand what she is saying so it would make understanding the whole political ordeal alot easier. She is a witty and humerous writer and i enjoyed reading her piece. Its really refreshing to read such a funny piece of writing.

"Skinny F*** You"

This blog caught my eye because of the tite and the content within it. This is a very informative and a very funny blog. Its says that beer is actually good for you and not bad. The point of this blog is to inform the viewers that beer doesnt make you hungry it fills you up. So beer doesnt make you fat, its the when you eat with beer that it starts to make an impact on your body weight. Beer can also relieve a bad hang over and it aleviates stomach aches. Its saying that wine will make you hungry and that will make you more fat with food then beer with food. Because beer fills you up and wine doesnt. This blog is filled with obscene language and random facts, and that what makes it so appealing thing i think.

Jezebel's Evaluation 16 A

Jezebel def. follows a few of the principles that Scoble had laid down. One rule that the site follows is that it posts good and bad news. Its like a tabloid so it has everything in it. Another principle is the human voice. The blog posts on this site are for the people by the people. I havent been a part of this website for too long, but the title is catchy and i dont think it has been changed. They dont hide information either they lay it for everyone to see. They do post the competition, but i dont see it as competition i think its just another form of information. The areas in which this site does not follow Scobles principles are like using the BOGU method and ignoring Slashdot. I dont think the principles of the Corporate weblog manifesto are applicable. It is not applicable because this blog is not trying to sell somethin, its not really a corporate blog its more of a gossip blog. So thats why it is not applicable.

Itos Interview

I like how Joi Ito's blogs serve a purpose. Also he doesnt put out a blog just for the hell of it. Furthermore he writes to learn, hes very open minded. In fact he relishes at the feedback he gets, thats how he has become such a big time player in the blogging community. Along the same i lines i like how he believes that the people should run blogging and blogging shouldnt be run by a machine. Even though people do write blogs many of them just write for themselves as an outlet for them. As a result its not a community blog its a personal one. Therefore ideas arent going to be tossed around as much. Blogging is a huge internet phenomonon, on the other hand it is selling out at a fast rate. It is becoming more 0f a ad space then a place where useful information is being sent. As Ito said "10 years from now the Internet is going to look a lot like cable tv or commercial radio and not the kind of emergent democratic system that it I hope it will be." In short we must help the internet become an outlet for good and not an outlet for advertising.
