The passage I read about in this week is The Publication of Your Personal Profile on the page 33 of the Arak Anthology. I’m going to pick up some citation to discuss about.
The first citation appears in the second paragraph, indicating the fact that the number of users of MySpace and Facebook is increasing those years. It gives a background information that enables author to draw the conclusion that “private is not so private anymore” (Megan 33). And it helps us to understand how the people are happy to publicize their private.
Another citation I pick up is in the third paragraph. It’s a quota from Chris Hansen that it points out the reason why the young people will be willing to share their private to the other strangers, giving a support to the point that “any outsider can then gain access to all of the user’s private information”(Megan 33).
The third one will be in the forth paragraph. The citation appears as an experiment that it proves that most of people will easily be faked by a artificial profile. So it provides a strong evidence for the point that even the people will restrict their profiles, the other are also easily to get the information from them.
The last citation is placed in the seventh paragraph. The author gives a possibility that “potential employers will judge potential employees by seeing their profiles” (Megan 34). It is a interesting assumption that it seems seldom to occur in the daily life, so the author presents a scenario from a movie, which is convincible and descriptive. It also shows the variety of citation.
