How does Web 2.0 affect someone who is ready to enter the workforce? How does it affect people who are already in the workforce? What do you think it means when it says that we will have to rethink everything?"Web 2.0 the machine is using us" is a very interesting title. I think it means that technology has become so advanced and addictive that we can't stay away from the machine. People are glued to there cellphones, PDAs, and laptops. The world is no longer personal it's exposed. Web 2.0 affects individuals in the workplace constantly. There are new forms of technology created everyday. Job requirements increase drastically. Being knowledgeable about the use of computers is essential to success in the workplace. Individuals entering the workplace will have an even harder time incorporating their skills and new technological advances. This may cause issues with people that are not computer literate. Maintaining or obtaining a job may be harder to ensure with new technology. At the end of the video it states that "we will have to rethink everything". It means the way we look at things now will change to something totally different. Such as defining relationships. Is it really a relationship if two people hooked up on the web or no relationship exist. The limitations of privacy, ideas, and identity may all change. Everyone may not have a set identity anymore because the Internet has helped the process of purchasing a life easier (identity theft).

I watched Cutie Honey last night. I must say it's a really dingy movie but I think its so cute. Cutie Honey is a young girl that can digusie herself into anything she wants. She can create and heal anything. She has the ability to do this through her fathers I System which he developed but was killed by this group called Panther Claw. Cutie honey was in a car wreck that destroyed her body but her father made her into an andriod. The I System allowed her to stay alive but she has no memories. The movie is really cute. I'm not saying it's a 5 star movie but it's really cute.

I didn't know there were some many reports of ethical lapses during work. I think it mostly affected lower income workers but the article was really good. I think as long as people point out these ethical lapses and fight back the better work experiences will be.Mickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07763126918782883505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928354598311538451.post-6512597439420417492008-04-06T19:36:00.000-07:002008-04-06T19:43:34.946-07:00Technology Vs. PaperBoth writing on the web and paper perform the same thing. They each are meant to convey or persuade messages between individuals or groups. They are both systems of communication. Writing on the web is more technological and offers more options (such as spell check). Also writing on the web helps share information a great deal faster than writing on paper. When you write something on paper you have to mail it and then wait for a delayed response. When transferring writings from paper to the web you must remember the message your trying to convey and how you want to inform your informant.Mickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07763126918782883505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928354598311538451.post-81771473232965840372008-03-30T19:02:00.001-07:002008-03-30T19:03:39.060-07:00Spring BreakI'm so glad to have had a break but I think it was a little bit to short. My little sister came to clemson to share her spring break with me. I had a great time with her and also my family.

I fear that if I lie I won't fulfill the expectations of my employers. I think that people should be fired if they lied on their resume only if they are not a good worker. If they are exceptionally good at what there doing then it shouldn't be a probably. Employers are becoming increasingly investigative when it comes to employee's backgrounds. The article explained the consequences for lying on your resume. It causes some extreme problems. I've learned do not lie on your resume.</div>Mickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07763126918782883505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928354598311538451.post-52492937302488831982008-03-09T19:10:00.000-07:002008-03-09T19:14:07.565-07:00PresentationThe past presentations were really good!!! I can't pick a favorite because all them were reallly good and brought some interesting facts to class. I'm not trying to be negative but I liked my project the most.

There are strong points within the articles. A great deal of the ideas pointed out I never thought about until reading this article. The most important parts of the artilce was the explanation of using a cover letter and the cover letter checklist. I was actually thinking of using the P.S. at the end of letter. The article stated that you write it out in your own handwriting. I thought it would be odd but the fact it will catch the attention of the employer makes it a plus.</div>Mickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07763126918782883505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928354598311538451.post-38012355575446116312008-02-09T16:09:00.000-08:002008-02-09T16:26:31.169-08:00Interviewing TipsWhat did you learn that will help you when you begin interviewing as part of the mock interview process and for real after graduation?<br /><br /><div align="justify">After reading "How to answer the toughest interview questions" and "How to deal with illegal interview questions" I was able to point on some of my errors during my previous interviews. Each article had some great information and easy ideas to combat these situations. As an african american woman the article explaining how to deal with illegal questions enabled me to have confidence combating illegal questions. I didn't know that if someone asked me about the meaning of my name or where come I reside are illegal questions. I have been asked the questions before. I don't think it was meant to discriminate but it was honest sincerity. Also knowing that I have a way to report a discriminative act towards me is available makes me feel better. The article on answering tough questions during a interview explained the significance of questions and why they are so important to answer. Many employers want someone that can think on their feet and are qualified for the job. I also learned that it depends on the job and company as well. </div>Mickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07763126918782883505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928354598311538451.post-80580580129572687732008-02-03T19:41:00.000-08:002008-02-03T20:00:40.876-08:00Persuasive LetterBeing a sociologist has a great deal of persuasion involved. When asking permission to perform some kind of research you have to provide information and reasons behind your need for this research. In some of the articles i reviewed both articles were informing a group or person about a situation. Also, they both show there needs for what they were trying to accomplish. The issues stood out in the articles. The difference in sociological articles with persuasion is that some of them do not necessarily involve the bad and good in their persuasion. The letter is a historical piece and differs from some of the sociological articles.Mickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07763126918782883505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928354598311538451.post-50995834793729374172008-01-27T20:29:00.000-08:002008-01-27T20:41:03.660-08:00The FutureIn ten years I expect to be finished with my masters and pursuing a doctorates. While I'm finishing my degrees I plan on becoming a writer and doing research. My research will be a combination of soicology and criminal justice. After I finish my doctorates I will be teaching at a university or continuing my writing. During all this work I plan on getting married and having children.

I was born in Albany, Georgia but I've lived in Wedgefield, South Carolina for most of my life. For those of you who don't know where Wedgefield is located between Columbia and Sumter. My major is Sociology (Criminal Justice) and I'm minoring in Health Science. I'm planning on becoming a Forensic Pathologist (a Coroner),Criminologist (basically a Professor that studies Criminal Theory) or maybe I'll work for the DEA. I am definitely a Criminal Justice fanatic!!! I love learning about criminal behavior, criminal acts, serial killers, the cycle of a decomposing body, etc. Yes, many people have said "Ewww...Your Weird." If you ever have the chance to take a criminal justice based course you should definitely take it. Criminal Justice is awesome.Enough about criminal justice. I have one sister and one brother. My sister and I are 9 yrs. apart. My brother and I are 14 yrs. apart. I can be talkative but I'm really down to earth and laid back. I like doing anything that incorporates fun and happiness. I'm currently learning Japanese. I can't wait to work with everyone this semester!!! May we all have a great time!!!</div>Mickahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07763126918782883505noreply@blogger.com1
