Aristotle Rheingold Analysis
Good afternoon Elise,

Great quote to pick out as it is evident in Rheingold's message throughout the reading. Rheingold believes that technology itself and a person nature does not determine who is in control but recognizes that people may try to shut down and hinder resources and freedom it may project. So it is up to the individual to decide what information is important and what information to discard. As you stated before, Rheingold want to convey is that use the five skills to talk to others and also to share in an effective way.

I like your stance on Rheingold point. You believe that it is a more societal factor that determine what information is important . It reminds me of Boyd statement, "Because of how American society constructs

    People need to think for themselves and ask questions. In the novel Fahrenheit 451, the government deceives people about how everything came to be. Nobody even thinks to question what they are told. In the book, Captain Beatty directly states, “Cram them full of noncombustible data, choke them so...full of ‘facts’ they feel stuffed, but absolutely ‘brilliant’ with information.” The people in Fahrenheit 451 think that firemen always set fire to books. In the publication, people never knew that firemen were once heroes that saved people from burning buildings. Their society is brainwashed with so many lies, they think that everything they are told is true. If people don’t ask questions, then they may never know truth about the…

    Median Aristotle

    • 618 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Aristotle defines virtue in terms of a mean or median. On one end is the excess and on the other the deficiency with the median found somewhere between the two. A sizeable portion of the book is dedicated to discussing these virtues and their excess and deficiency as well as the sphere the virtue falls under. While a majority of the virtues have vices on either side and are found through trial and error somewhere between them, the virtue of temperance does not have this quality and is therefore more easily defined. Out of the all virtues that Aristotle discusses in Nicomachean Ethics, temperance is desirable above the rest because the basic principles of self-control allows one to achieve several of the other virtues and temperance is an easily…

    3. "To be modern, " he wrote", "is to find ourselves in an environment that promises us adventure, power, joy, growth, transformation of ourselves and the world--and, at the same time, that threatens to destroy everything we have, everything we know, everything we are." This quote is very effective in my opinion. I feel that as human beings, people are always yearning for new knowledge and enhancing what they already have. Some have the best of the best and some may want to be the most up-to-date devices out of friends or even co-workers. Humans always want to make things better even if it means that in the process it could destroy societies. An example of destroying lives is the nuclear bomb. The bomb was something that was supposed to be a great advantage to us during the war and now it could eventually extinguish life as we know it. Technology is a wonderful thing also but, is it also ruining our thought process or making tasks too easy? Teenagers and most adults crave the newest trend in phones and electronics. They will spend hours doing research online about what it is they are interested in, but, they don’t know how to find a specific book in the library. Several people want that upgrade to the newer and better items. Technology doesn’t give power or growth but instead does tend to give some joy and adventure. But at the cost of what? Americans buy most of our products from China and we owe them more money than we can certainly ever…

    In Plato’s Republic his theory on education is illogical because he makes several particularly impractical suggestions. He believes that the “guardians” of his society should only be taught the stuff which he approves of. Poetry is one example that does not fall under this category because Plato considers it to be only composed of lies. Therefore he will enforce his theory by censoring poetry to his liking. This leads to the ban of laughter and crying because it shows weakness which is not allowed in his ideal society. These suggestions of Plato’s are fundamentally unfeasible because one person cannot control every little aspect of a whole society’s daily life.…

    1. The Chronic “Know-nothing’s” in relation to information campaigns All persons do not offer equal targets for information campaigns. Surveys consistently find that a certain proportion of the population is not familiar with any particular event. It can be commonly thought that the information campaign was not distributed broadly enough to reach them, however when knowledge of the same group is measure in relation to another event they still know very little of nothing about it. If all persons provided equal targets for expose there would be no reason for the same individual always to show a relative lack of knowledge. Instead there is something about the uninformed which make them harder to reach, no matter what the level or nature of the information.…

    It would seem reasonable to believe that knowledge with the strongest justification is the most valuable, but why? Justification is seen to add value to information and is relative to what people believe or think. When we think of justification, we think of it in terms of justifying something to other people. The stronger the justification, the stronger the argument, and therefore, the more value it has, when compared to other arguments. Knowledge that can be justified is more significant because it is more widely accepted. It shows that your case is logical and has reason. Society greatly values logic and reason as a way of knowing. This makes the information more credible, and gives it more meaning.…

    Knowledge is a key aspect of human beings. In order to advance in our society you must gain knowledge. Therefore to take action you must have a basis of information in order to be successful. You should not act in haste or proudness but rather develop your 'pool of information' and make an informed decision to acquire your desired results, "ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing wherewith we fly to heaven".…
