Knowing

In this world, to explain anything of it, there is a process which is used through a 'Definition,' which means to define or explain what is being told or discribed in context either verbally or through writing to allow the reader or the listener to understand what is being explained and defined. Without this process, there would be no understanding and in a sense, no form of communications. Definitions are an important aspect of everyday life.

They help explain how things work, why things work and so-on and so-forth. This also requiers at the same time, a good communication skill to construct a understandable translation of the definition. In-depth definitions not only give the meaning of what it is but why it is as it is.

The article that me and my group chose for the article assigment and to tie it into this assignment, was about the two bills congress tried to pass called SOPA and PIPA. SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Act and PIPA stands for Protect Intellectual Property Act. Two bills that will not only threaten communications going in and out of the United States prior through the internet but could lead to a thousands of arrests and prosecutions across the nation itself. It also violates the human rights to freedom of speech and freedom to share and give out information.

True, the article that was chosen was in fact, an opinion but even it held its valid facts and information that allowed the opinion to stand, supported by the facts that were listed and given. The article states why the opinion was given and what was said as it was then suppported by a fact or a statement about the two bills that are in truth.

The article then goes into a discription of what the bills would do based off the facts and then the author gives his/her opinion as to what will happen or what he/she believes in from what hte bill is statein in its context.

  2. Good job explaining the definitions. I got confused as you went into the second and third paragraphs. What was the opinon of the Author you say they have one, but what is it? Some further explaining would have cleared things up for me. Otherwise the things you did explain, you did a great job explaining.
