The fact that this author of the website had no ill intentions put into this website to voice the people’s opinion over what had occurred-and eventually was rewarded with responses by the affected communities and and people’s responses is inspirational. It’s a true story of someone who was inspired and compelled to start something to represent a positive message.

The PIPA SOPA movement to save our rights on the internet is another way to take the initiative and show the world that we are all for the most part feeling the same way about an important situation.

“Sometimes they’re doing things the wrong way for the simple reason that no one’s stopped to consider if there’s a better way to do it.”

Cognitive dissonance – the psychological discomfort which occurs when you’re confronted with a set of facts suggesting that what you’re doing or believing is irrational or stupid.

Occupy Wall Street is one of the most momentous things that my generation will be able to say they experienced in our lifetime.

A nationally  (becoming world wide) dominant movement standing up against corporate greed, while having a common voice to stand for what mass amounts of people believe in is an incredible thing to observe happening. While going to classes first semester, I observed tents, and cardboard box creations that were being occupied by students of the University of Maine–standing for what the same people in New York, Boston, Manhatten, etc… were also standing for (literally standing).

They’ve gotten the attention they’ve demanded and the purpose and reason behind their occupation of the land they stand on is admirable.

Questions that I have of this subject:

1.)There are many people who want this movement to stop, so that they don’t have to change their lifestyles–these people who want the movement to stop are the driving reason behind why it is happening. What moves has this group of people taken so far to try and stop the movement?

2.)What legal responsibilities do the people who participate in the movement have to deal with for standing for what they believe in?

3.) How long will it take before the founding groups of people who started the movement get what they want from this statement they’ve made?

According to Vin; Land, Water and Sky are all of the transportation media that we have. All of these have contributed to people’s interacting with each other since the very beginning. Transport vehicles are brought from one place to another through transport MEDIUMS (MEDIA and MEDIUM—there’s a difference! He makes sure that you understand that in this article.) Our skies are used as a transportation Medium while Planes, Jets, Parachutes and Birds are Transport Vehicles.

There are three communication media in the world of New Media: Mass medium, New Medium and Interpersonal Medium. The idea of Communication Media are things that we come across every minute of our day-to-day student careers while talking to fellow student colleagues, professors talking to a lecture hall, the Announcements folder in the our first class is many groups contacting our whole student body

While one person is conversing with another, there is a lot of control being distributed to those involved in the interpersonal conversation over the content that is being said; On top of that—there is a personalization factor that is added to the conversation that is applied to who is involved which makes it more individualized. When more people are added to either side to the conversation and it grows to a number that is hard to control (content wise) the sources and information become less reliable and controllable.

Many-to-many communication isn’t a natural ability that humans are capable of having without being dependant on a certain form of technology to use as a vehicle to distribute those thoughts amongst the mass amount of people they have targeted as an audience. While certain facts and rules can be spread amongst large groups of people, there is control over what is spread between each person and that has some boundaries on what is spread. Mass Production and spreading of information is much more difficult tofind and stop the sources and the spread of rumors/false information.
