Blogging is undoubtedly a useful tool for communicating, as it provides a platform for centralizing a variety of opinions. However it only works well when people have great interaction with it. The blog cannot exert its largest function if each comment is separated bit by bit. Personally speaking, it was a good experience of using the blog for discussion, but it would be much better if bloggers can be more active in using the tool to express their views. Some of the comments were very impressive and the questions have given us a golden opportunity to have self-examination.
From those questions, we may think about not only the content of studies, but a reflection of self identity. Such as do we call ourselves cyborg? I regard myself as cyborg as I rely on technologies so much that I could not even resist the temptation. Except from sleeping, most of the time I have been merged with computers and the mobile phone. It is hard for me to separate the private life and public life as technologies has blurred their absolute territory. For instance, the Facebook has given us the opportunity to publicize our private life, every minor things happens in our daily life can be posted online for others to view.
The best thing in this unit was the perspective of gender. I found myself obsess with the view of feminism. Since I have got deeper into the perspective of feminism, things surrounding me have revealed a smell of male chauvinism and the stereotype of female behavior. Henceforth, I have a deeper realization of myself living in a society structured identity. This realization had changed the way of my personal world view.
Yet, there are lots of ambiguities in this unit. The more I study the unit, the more difficulties I confront in learning. The unit has been too complex for us to understand in between twelve weeks. Everything has become uncertain which I found a bit lost in the ambiguously structured world.
