Turkle's Argumentative Essay
However, digital world and information technology, in the opinion of Turkle, not only provide us a lot of opportunities, but also pose some danger.

Therefore, Identity becomes much more complex, and eventually "saturated" , “colonized” by others. Consequently, it would be logical after Grechko ask a question, whether there is actually Self under all these "strata", "layers" that came from the "outside". Hannerz suggested that the era of liquidity and diversity destroyed stagnation and brought

    If someone attempted to rape you, fail to succeed, and then beat you, what would you do? Go to the police and risk nothing coming of an investigation? Pretend it never happened and sweep it under the rug, just to manifest in your later years as perhaps a mental illness or PTSD? I believe that Bean going to a lawyer and pressing charges was the best way to handle this problem. Why? Well, because Jerry Maddox needs to pay, the town needs to know, and Liz needs justice.…

Turkle also talks about the convenience that comes with technology. When she was talking to a female that said that she would not mind a robot boyfriend because it would help her not to be lonely but unlike a real one it she would not have to tend to their demands.…

    In an editorial published by The New York Times, the author sees the altering of Mark Twain’s language within The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as an desecration of a rich piece of literature, and does not approve of a new “sanitized” edition of the novel. Although the intention of the novel’s editor was to replace certain words with less offensive phrases, the article’s author sees the replacement of “nigger” with “slave” as a corruption of a historical language. The “n-word” will be identified as the worser term and the substituted word will be viewed as having no relation to the wickedness of slavery. The author argues that the beauty and significance of “Huckleberry Finn” is its ability to precisely interpret the detailed dialect of the time period, and would be severely damaged if another writer would transform its original context.…

    Henry David Thoreau goes to the woods to live away from duties and to live a life of leisure. He moves far away from any method of communication, such as the post office. He wishes to live independently and self-sufficiently. The quote “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life…and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” He summarizes his reasons for living in the woods in this quote. Thoreau wants to live deliberately; to choose his own course and have no one else influence his life. He doesn’t want to get old and look back and realize that there are things in life that he wanted to do, that he has never done.…

    Author and Professor of the Social Studies Studies of Science and Technology at MIT, Sherry Turkle, in her essay “The Flight from Conversation”, published in the New York Times on April 22, 2012, addresses the topic of technology use in society and argues that constant use of technology is degrading the quality of human connections. Through her use of the rhetorical appeals of ethos, logos, and pathos, Turkle presents a sound argument to effectively persuade her audience to reduce their use of technology in order to revert to forming and experiencing real connections between one another.…
