Blog 6 Response to "The Ruin" Poem

Image result for passage of time
Image result for acceptance
Image result for sad

I choose the first image because it shows how with time passing, all things come to an end. In the poem, the society described is originally illustrious, but it eventually ends. This poem is trying to convey that all good things never last for forever and humans should learn to accept that. This mentality is conveyed in the second pic as it shows a group of people united regardless of the color or personality. In the poem, it is accepted that all civilizations do not last forever, whether it is due to terrorism or natural disasters. The poem's tone isn't meant to evoke feelings for sympathy for those who suffered during the fall of the buildings, but rather learn to accept those disasters and move on. This emotion is also conveyed in the third image I selected as I felt this poem is not meant to make the reader feel extremely depressed or sad for a long period of time, but is rather focused on the good memories the inhabitants had, and shows that it was a good time while it lasted.

People in today's age want to establish what is called a "reputation" and I agree with this fact because that is what going to school and working in jobs are for. People want the professional recognition from other professionals in the work subspace and feel that Linkedin and ...

Authorship is the idea that anyone on the web can post and publicize anything they please for sharing purposes and labeling someone as an author assigns credibility or blame to a person if what they write is correct or not. However people who write anonymously on wikipedia I believe are not authors because they do not publicly reveal their names even though they write content for the purpose of sharing the information with anyone with a computer. I also believe wikipedia has made the internet too public in that anyone can write whatever they please and even though there are people who correct the mistakes, inevitably there will always be at least a couple of mistakes that change the meaning of the information, and thus the credibility of the internet. In addition, in other countries such as China where freedom of speech is restricted, unbiased information on certain topics related to the government is impossible to find due to internet search restrictions. I believe that what google di...
