1) Recently, I purchased the latest version of ipod touch as because I think it is time to replace my old ipod. When I found out the new version has inserted the internal microphone and speaker, so I found out it is worth to buy, as because I can make a phone call and text messages by a ipod touch program, so I have cancelled my cell phone service. When my friends know that I have cancelled the cell phone because of the ipod touch, they teased at me. My friend said "Are you kidding? You have money to buy a ipod touch but no money to pay for the cell phone service? Do you try to pretend you are poor?" This conflict reach Kaufer's level 4's conflicting local values. I am not trying to pretend to be poor. The reason I decide not using a cell phone because most of the time I cannot use up all the minutes before the expire date, and I found out most of the time I would stay at home or library, so the free wireless allows me to make a phone call or text messages by my ipod touch. I don't think a cell phone really matter. Moreover, it think this conflict can reach to level 5 as my friend think a cell phone is an necessary, but to be I am okay without a phone.
2) In Mario Sacvio's essay, "An End to History", he makes argue of "Sproul Hall is to student rights as Mississippi is to civil rights". He complaint university bureaucracy to suppress the students' political expression, students do not have a chance to express ideas, to speak freely. Just like Brave New World, people do not have control of their lives because of the political control.
4) Robert Bullard uses a lot of historical data as a reference to support his ideas, and the references used as a fact to persuade the audiences's thinking. Mario Savio gives examples to support his ideas and for comparison. Wells-Barnett has provides some mathematical data to make a conclusion and comparison for the audience.
