Question.3772 - There are three different areas that I'd like you to respond to in this discussion, and they are as follows: First, I would like for you to share your thoughts on the Sojourner Truth readings this week. You were asked to read both versions of her speech, 1851 and 1863, and you were even asked to write a journal entry about these speeches. By the time you post your thoughts here in this discussion, you should have a good sense as to why the two versions of the same speech are so different. The voice is different. The style is different. The word choice is different. The message might be different. Why do you think this is? If you look at the landscape of this country during the time period of these speeches, you will notice something relevant. In 1851, the United States was in peace time, but in 1863, the United States was engaged in Civil War. My question to you is, do you think the overall attitude of the country during these time periods had any influence over how these speeches were written? The second topic I'd like you to discuss in this group discussion deals with the issue of misinformation. As all of you should know, the United States is getting ready to have a Presidential election in November, and by many accounts, the stakes of this election couldn't be higher. But when I watch Fox News and CNN and MSNBC, I get very different messages about the same issues. Therefore, the "truth" and the "facts" seem to get lost in the different translations of the news. What should I believe? What shouldn't I believe? What is fact? What is fiction? In your opinion, what role does misinformation play in the way the news is reported on these different networks? In your opinion, how does misinformation alter the way people feel about the upcoming Presidential election? The last thing I'd like you to discuss here is the Presidential election itself. Like I said before, I know that our opinions here might be different, but I expect everyone to respect each other here. You do not need to say who you will be voting for in this election, or whether or not you will be voting at all, but I would like you to discuss the primary issues you will be voting on. What are the big issues that you will be voting on? Okay class. We are discussing very relevant issues in our discussion this week, and I look forward to it. If there is one place where people should be able to come together to discuss "hard" issues, it's right here in the college classroom. I am happy that our class is taking some time to discuss these issues, and I encourage everyone to be open and honest and respectful as we go. If you have any questions about this group discussion, please let me know. Thank you.
