Blog Assignment #7

I read the article " The publication of Your Personal Profile" at page 33.

The writer claims that as more and more people began to post their pictures and write their private information at MySpace and Facebook, due to the network's unsafety and people's less awareness about the personal information's security, private is not private anymore.

Firstly, the author says that the users are lack of the awareness of security on internet.That is, the users don not realize that others can get their information through these social networks purposely. The writer uses a real example to support it. Second, the network is unsafe. If people want to see someone's profile, they can access it with a little work. The author also uses a real example to demonstrate it. Third, the author says that users are not awre of the fact that what they put on their profiles is a representation of the themselvs nd they are responsible for them. The writer use some citations to explain it. Finally, the writer focuses on "the picture and information that people are posting on their MySpaces and Facebooks, however personal, are subject to scrutiny whether they realize it or not. the author uses a lot ot real examples to support it. The employers may see employees' facebook to check whether the employees will damage the companies' reputation through checking their profiles in their facebook. Because of illegal pictures post on the facebook, some RA in UD were forced to resign. The Miss New Jersey was nearly forced out of her position because her questionable pictures on facebook.

The essay is persuasive. The author says an argument and uses some specific examples to support it. So it 's great.
