QUESTIONS/ANSWERS FROM CLASSMATES

C++ (Mary Finelli) Have networks made it easier to have a false identity and a second life?
YES. I very much believe that because of networks it is easier for us to falsify our identities
and create fictional versions of our lives that we wish to aim for. Knowing that we can create a
facebook, myspace, or even something like this as a blog, is an introduction to other people
into our lives. The substantial view of our lives conducted through networks is an opening to
let others in and judge us based on what they see. So in a sense, networks have made it easier
for people to venture into our lives, false identities, and secondary lives.

SPACE & PLACE (Kathryn Nguyen) "Emotion tints all human experiences." Women are often considered more emotional than men. Does this mean women have more tainted experiences? Or more intense and intimate experiences?
The way women percieve emotion is all in all different then men. I see it as, women take
different approaches to situations. Men appear to be less emotional by hiding their emotions
because in society they feel it is frowned apon if men are emotional. For a woman to show her
emotions to others, it is seen as a sign of strongness, or attention. A woman who is able to
break down is often percieved as not caring or having enough stregnth in themselves to react
that way and bring themselves back to the surface. If a man breaks down, he is seen as weak
and unmanly.

OF OTHER SPACES (Justin Debrosse) Why does space supposedly cause more anxiety in our era than dealing with time?
Although many percieve time as main focus of each day, subconciously i believe space is the reason for many experiencing anxiety. Each day in our life we are concentrated on evaluating, making space for our space, involving all aspects of space into our identities. Although this is not something we focus on, it is surely something we all do. Think of sleeping in your bed. The more space the better. It is easier to accumulate the great amount of space we have available than scrounging for more space. Space is something we all take for granted. Without it, nothing we involve ourselves in would be influential and time would not even be a virtue.
