Privacy

Published by Giddings under Assignments

PrivacyRead this article and reflect on the issue of privacy and technology a là the chaperone feature on some cellphones.  Create a Toulmin argument expressing your own thoughts using facts from this article and any others you care to use.  Post the results to your blog. 

Note:  there was a bit of confusion about what I meant when I said to dreate a Toulmin argument.  I meant to write an argument based on your reflections that contained the elements of a Toulmin argument, i.e. a claim, fasts, warrant, etc.  When you present your thoughts to someone, leading with “Claim:…isn’t going ot be particularly persuasive.
