Frammolinl's first discusses is the libel insulting speech aimed is a group not an individual.they change the role make the role more perfect.That make more off-campus student like the American Civil Liberties Union that make they are protected.And they also have the punishment policy that make those accused have some offensive speech.

 

The fraternity used court to make university have this action to protected student.But the punishment about the role are not great.people don't love punishment that will make them think I'm wrong.This kind of thinking are negative.Possibly this role is really great for student but the punishment will give people a bed first impression.On that time people are excited they will stop thinking.

Choose one of these cases and discuss whether or not you think the  case constitutes hate speech as Matsuda defines it.

From Matsuda's perspective, the definition of "the hate speech" is the sexist and raciest speeches which motivated by hate. We can learn the damage of the hate speech from the three main aspects: the equation of access to all aspects of the university; the liberty from the oppression on campus; the free speech to debate issues. Then I will apply the definition given by Matsuda to evaluate the first case.

The white students in first case affronted a small group of black women who really did something in public , regardless of others' feelings. However, is it really the hate speech? did he actually harm those women psychologically? did he limit the opportunities of those people of color to access to the campus? did he hamper the freedom debate? and what about the event that the black destroy all the newspaper just because of their emotion? I will cope with all of these questions one by one.

First of all, as we know, those women actually create an terrible influence in public that they disturbed other students to study, ignoring others' feelings and admonishment. From this white student's perspective, it is, to some extent, rational for him to alarm those self-centered black women, even if his method to handle the problem is a bit extreme. Also, an important point I have to mention is that he didn't actually use some discriminating expression. So we can say that the rude expression of this white student surely did psychological harm for those women , but we cannot classify the rude expression into the discrimination.

Secondly, this white student's behavior impede the freedom speech, whatever whether the discriminating expression or not. The verbal abuse, such as this white student's behavior, alleviate people's desire to express their opinions in rational ways but rather increase their desire to solve the problems in means of physical assault.

Conclusion from analysis above, we have to confess the verbal expression of the white student is the hate speech in fact. But what about another event which occurred at the same time----people of color expressed their dissent opinion also using the rudely method. So both of these two events has to be limited.

The university, as the special institution which stand for many meaningful things, such as the pursuit of knowledge, should shoulder the responsibility to educate students in the scientific ways but not just restrict and punish students' behaviors. This is what the university should do.

This part are talking about media.first they give us a example about printing this is a kind of way about media.Then they talk about how does media useing to transmit massage.

You can pass massage any where you want.You can pass in library,restaurant,mall also you can pass on internet.In the twenty-first-century delivery massage is very easy.

For this I think the internet was more convenience.Because you can get in very where you want.Like library you must be go there and if you want different exchange you must go to different place but internet you don't need this.

If you want to talk with your middle school and primary school classment if you are in place you have to go to two place to meet them bue if you have internet you can just send the massage ti everyone.

      In the book, the writer wrote about what the technology changed on our life and study, there are both positive and negative  opinions in the article about the new media's influence. There are several paragraph mentioned me the internet blocked the face-to-face social connection between people. At home his wife have to start their work after she finished all the online work. The writer himself is also afraid of the plenty of e-mail everyday.

      I agree on the writer's opinion, the new media made our life better, but it also separate people by individuals. Our face-to-face connections are decreasing. The attention we put on our real life is much more less, we want to finish the online business before to start a new day, and the social net work is transfer from off line to online. We should practice our attention control, make sure that when we are searching online, we should task of finding the information you need at the moment you need it, learning what we need at the moment we need it, learning what we need to learn and forgetting what we don't need, and most important, learning how to filter out the bad info. (Page15)So that we can save more time on the computer and turn our face to our real life at the moment.

The author of this book is trying to teach the reader how to use internet mindfully so that you can benefit from it. what intrigued me most what that he said for using internet mindfully people should not use the internet for finding their interests, they have to use it for their needs. He also mentions that you can not be successful with knowing different skills, and you have to know how to use them in today's world with communication, collaboration, participation and network and he believes that without these people can drown themselves "in torrents of misinformation, disinformation, advertisement, spam, porn, noise, and trivia".

How does Delpit respond to Gee? Who do you agree with and why?

Since we have read about the definitions of Literacy given by Gee and discussed about the understanding of Literacy before, what were demonstrated by Delpit in the passage appeared to be a very good critical thinking of Gee's opinion. And as the same as us, the writer Delpit first agreed with Gee's identification of Discourses. But after further thinking of First Discourses and Second Discourses ( given from School and Home), Delpit found that what Gee demonstrated that the two different statuses--socially dominant and some nondominant were seemed different from his and his colleagues' experience who helped to educate the poor children and children of color.

Next, he gives out what the different points: 1. Delpit thought Gee had overly estimated the difficulty if man was 'not been born into Dominant Discourses and wanted to understand it.  2.He thought that Gee had also over demonstrated the trouble and conflicts when ' attempting to acquire another Discourses' (P 266).  Followed with the negative effects which Gee's idea would brought, Delpit demonstrated those 'successful' African American should also acquire another Discourse instead of his own one.

According to my point of view, I would definitely agree with what Gee said. As I came to the U.S, I've made over 200 friends but most of them are Chinese. I can even count my American friends' number with my fingers. The reason of this is obvious: difference in speaking, which should be concluded to Gee's 'Second Discourses'. I tried quite hard to communicate with them, just similar as Delpits' example, but the relationship between me and my American friends was just saying Hello to each other. Although Delpit did believe this could be overcame, for me, I think, it should be an impossible mission--I have to do that all the time, but no final answer.

What part of Rheingold’s argument intrigues you? Why?

The experience of the author that to teach her students in means of the internet system instead of the traditional methods intrigues me greatly. Unlike the face-to face communication, using the network to teach students, that students will be always-and -everywhere with the computer instead of put more effort on the professor himself, will be benefit of cultivate students to be proficient at using the internet system intelligently. There are the advantages and the negative effects at the same time. Learning to select the inflow of information we receive is a tough challenge for students that we should know ourselves very well including knowing what the information we need actually and how long we should spend on it. Students who can master to use the internet will gain countless benefit that from personal aspect that they will broaden their network and impersonal aspect that the effort of every individual participating to the internet will be combined to the exceptional energy for the society. On the contrary, the students who cannot let themselves under control will lose themselves through the internet channel. So practicing ourselves to exert the control to be away from the temptation, namely useless or unhealthy information,  is the key to master the internet.

From my perspective, refusing to develop the internet is not a good method for us to be successful in this twenty-first century. The computer will not only enhance the efficiency to finish the assignments, but also share the knowledge and intelligence with each other. In another aspect, the flow of information will distract us that the doing multitask is not a good habit for the majority, including me, because we are not capable of pay most of our attention on the meaningful things. For an instance, when I have concentrated on the assignment for a long time, I will eager to go the Face book to relax myself. In fact, I will be out of control when I encounter so many engaged stuffs. In this case, the useless information lead me to lose myself.

The author point out one of the most crucial problem for the majority and provide us an excellent way to avoid this problem that we should ask ourselves what we really want before we make the decision to use any media. This is the part of the article I like best.
