Remix


Haley Ketchum

Copyright is a huge issue that not many people know about. Copyright is obviously very important, as it protects an artist’s work and prevents others from stealing their ideas and making money off the artist. But like the mom who uploaded her son’s video to YouTube, I had no idea that you could get sued for sharing a video featuring an artist’s music, but it makes sense to me. If the video had gone viral, the mom could have made money off the video, causing her to make money off of Prince’s work. This is not really fair, so I understand why copyright laws need to be taken seriously. I think the mom should have not fought back and just let the video be deleted because it was clear she had broken the law. I also think it is crazy that John Lennon’s copyright debate was still occurring even after the exhibit had opened. It seems excessive and the lawyers were taking it to seriously. I think there is a fine line between stealing an artist’s work and simply having fun with remixing or sharing a video with music in the background.

    I agree that copyright is a big deal today, but certain situations are more severe than others.

    I did not take copyright issues seriously, such as the case as the mom sharing a video of her son dancing. I agree that a lot of these cases are excessive and unreasonable.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...

Picture Rhetoric

This ticket is advertising an upcoming event that the sorority, Delta Gamma, is holding. It is rhetorically effective because it is colorful and completely delivers the idea that there will be a variety of different desserts at the event. The candies work very closely with theme and helps students to easily look at the ticket and be able to understand what the event is. I think that the size is very effective for this advertising ticket. I also think it very well informs the public because it states the time the event will be held and the date, as well as the address.

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War- Sophia Fundora, Alison McGrath

Peaceful Protest during the Vietnam War Throughout the sixties, antiwar protests sprung up across America due to the United States' controversial involvement in the Vietnam War. The Vietnam War Protests are marked as being some of the first major anti-war protests in the States. In today's society, there are various non-violent anti-war protests around the globe. These protests have made monumental differences around the world, as put by Julia Bacha, "The [Budrus] residents, after ten months of peaceful resistance, convinced the Israeli government to move the root of the barrier off their lands and to the green line, which is internationally recognized boundary between Israel and the Palestinian territories," (1). Though some may claim that the Vietnam protests had no effect and the only reason we pulled out of the war was due to how costly it was, this protest is pivotal in setting an example for future peaceful protestors throughout history.
