Since the deaf community is not able to hear, sign language is a primary source of communication. The article "Deaf community outraged after interpreter signed gibberish before Irma" , argues that the deaf community was not able to receive proper instructions before hurricane irma. In this case the article argues this with a video of the announcement, which is a visual mode of communication. making the overall article multimodal.

Once you are skeptical, have knowledge that the internet's information is practically limitless, use triangulation, you are most likely to find the best information available. To be apart of digital culture, you must use these tools at your expense to get the most credible information on the web.
-
Infotention, as rheingold describes, is a wealth of information that means the death of the credibility of the information. The more information available, the higher chance that a good majority of the information is not credible.
-
Rheindgold shows the scope of his research, and how if used effectively, it could change the way news is received and operates. Using the tactics discussed and being skeptical will lead to the shaping of more credible news for everyone.
-
In this statement, Rheingold highlights the benefits you get from being skeptical. By triangulating reliable sources, he recieved his credible information via twitter hours before it would have been reported by a credible news source.
-
Triangulating sources, such as journalists do, is a good way to ensure that the information you are getting is as credible as possible. Triangulating information would 100 percent of the time lead you to not believe what terrorist recruiters are saying, according to the supplemental text.
-
Another quote that highlights Rheingolds emphasis on being skeptical. The more skeptical you are, the better your information is going to be. Using the interface as a clue but still being skeptical of the information increases your chances of getting the most credible information available to you.
-
Rheingold states that simply being skeptical is a big first step in getting good information. Searching more than once and knowing that the information you find may not be the most credible is the best way to troubleshoot finding good information.
-
Rheingold touches on a large part of his argument here, saying "think skeptically, look for an author, and then see what others say about the author." His idea of thinking skeptically encompasses how he looks at the internet, as a place to look for information but never fully believe it without doing your research.
-
Rheingold, aware of the overwhelming flood of information that is the internet, states that it is the responsibility of the reader now to be aware of the validity of the information they find on the internet. This relates to my secondary text as well as social media plays a large role in recruitment, while if you take a second and look at the information recruiters could send you you would understand how wrong your actions to sign up are.
-
Rheingold states that you shouldnt believe everything you read online, although you should take the time to crap test it as some things you read online could be true. This relates to my supplementary reading, how terrorists recruit online (and how to stop it) as a little bit of crap detection in the information provided would help analyze what the terrorists are doing and ways to stop it.

nterpretive analysis should not be mistaken for the sum of all the analytic exercises that precede it: description and deduction followed by speculation and then, in turn, by research findings. The method is a means to an end, not an end in itself. Analysis should digest, develop, and present perceptions generated from these exercises, but differ from them in being structured by an argument, a clearly-worded claim defended though detailed references to both the object (entailing passages of description and deduction) and its context (entailing some citation of sources, primary and secondary, as well as figures and notes).
With this conclusion, I understand that analysis comes from critical thinking and not just gathring reasearch, I consider this extremely important because I feel that this is what make your work yours!
-
A research prospectus should be detailed enough to give a clear sense of what in your object has given rise to interpretation. From what that you See or know or feel has your sense of your object's thematic content emerged? Be aware that different questions lead to different areas of the library (or to places other than the library, including collections of comparative objects) in which to do originali research.
When studying objects you have to be able to tell how much this object has given for interpretation

o recognize and so to evaluate, indeed question, the myriad conclusions we risk otherwise to draw uncritically; only thus can we control for our own-however well-intended-careless or precipitous or culturally-biased leaps to arguably wrong conclusions.
When reviewing an object you should take your time and evaluate yourself. This will reduce cultural biases and wrong deductions.

1968 was truly a year of protest around the world.
Was this the most active protest era globally in history?

Coretta Scott King, the widow of Martin Luther King Jr., walks on the arm of Dr. Ralph Abernathy, her husband's successor as head of the Southern Christian Leadership conference, leading about 10,000 people in a memorial march to the slain Dr. King. The King children, Yolanda, Martin III, and Dexter are at left with Harry Belafonte. Reverend Andrew Young marches next to Dr. Abernathy. #

-
How does the object make one feel? Specifically, what in or about the object brings those feelings out? As these will be, to a certain extent at least, personal responses, the challenge-beyond recognizing and articulating-is to account for them materially.
In relation to the supplemental text this statements explains how emotions can portray the meaning of this object to certain people or culture.

For the purpose of analysis, there is value in isolating different realms of deductive response so that these can be handled more circumspec
I could relate this with my supplemental reading in the sense that we can see how the author gets involves with the complexity and the cultural significance of this object.
-
These observations can be summarized asfollows:●we do not analyze objects; we analyze our descriptions of objects●writing constitutesanalysis: we do not really see with clarity what we have not said that we have seenComposing and revising an objective-as-possible description frees one to move from a narro
This refers back to the synthesis mentioned earlier that we analyze our description because that is what opens to interpretations and often leads us with the cultural significance of the object.
-
ormalizing our observations in language, we generate a set of carefully selected nouns, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, and verbs which effectively determine the bounds of possible interpretation. This is why the words we choose in saying what we see have such far reaching importance.
In this sentence, the author is going back to the point that we should be careful with the words we choose and that these will determine any bounds of possible interpretation.
-
void uasting precious words at this point on introductions, conclusions, restatements of the assignment, or autobiographicalconfessions; just describe uhat you see.
while describing the object you are suppose to just tell what you are watching, feel it but not give an opinion or describe those feelings, just what you can tell about the object.
-
t seems to depend on a linkage-formal, iconographic, functional-between the object and some fundamental human experience, whether engagement with the physical world, interaction with other individuals, sense of self (often expressed anthropomorphically), common human emotions, or significant life
I agree with this statement because I believe that I depends on your knowledge and your experiences and/or interactions with and object can tell you its value for an entire culture and not just to yourself.

This method of investigation may be usefully schematized in the form of an annotated course assignment.Choose an object to consider.All objects signify; some signify more expressively than others.
The concept of studying material culture is paying attention to not just what an object says but what is the meaning behind it and how it is portrayed.

Description provides the bridge between the realm of the material and thatof concepts and ideas
One might ask, how is it possible to separate descriptions alone, from personal ideas and views? While this is valid, a rich vocabulary can avoid many conceptions.
-
is to discover the patterns of mind underlyingfabrication of the artifact
All interpretations and analysis of meaning of an item to a culture are based upon interpretations of the mind. In machete some interpret the item as a weapon, some as a tool. This shows how different items can be interpreted and all the varieties and way the mind can interpret something based on experiences.
-
Because the method places value on the interpreter's own input
the interpreters own input is most important to prownian analysis, which is shown by the analysis of the machete clearly. If you see it as a tool, you wouldn't believe that someone should get in trouble for having something such as a shovel at an event, but if you see it as a weapon that would be opposite, simply based of interpretation.
-
Meaning lies hidden in thematic figurations
The meanings of objects and those objects to cultures lies in how they have been used, perceived, and analyzed previously. The machete is seen to many as a weapon, and many as a tool which polarizes the item and makes it a hot topic when brought to an event such as an election. It is all based off the theme that the object has played in past events in the perceivers mind.
-
Composing and revising an objective-as-possible description frees one to move from a narrow focus on the object itself to a focus on the relationship between the object and oneself as its perceiver.
This sentence hits on an important lesson the machete reading taught me, which is how important human perception is in analyzing an object. It is all based on a person and the experiences they have had with an object and how they then perceive that object based on said experiences.
-
It is out of our paraphrase of what we see that all interpretation grows
How people paraphrase and refer to an object, determines how that object is interpreted in our minds. Based of the human experiences others have had, combined with yours is how you interpret an object and the significance to culture.
-
he most persistent object metaphors expressive of belief” seem embedded in polarities
Objects such as a machete, or those which can give two humans very different experiences, tend to be the most analyzed and talked about in culture.
-
It seems to depend on a linkage-formal, iconographic, functional-between the object and some fundamental human experience,
This sentence stands out to me as my human experiences linked to machetes are horror movies, used to kill and maim people. Other human experiences change the way you look at an object, no matter what the object is.
-
All objects signify; some signify more expressively than others. As the list of objects studied over the course of time in a single university seminar attests, the possibilities are virtually limitless-especially considering that no two individuals will read a given object in the same way.
To me, carrying a machete around is equal to carrying around a huge knife, but to people who work the fields of Haiti, a machete represents a tool to gather meat and vegetables, and put food on the table that night.
-
attention not just to whatthey might be said to signify but, as importantly, to how they might be said to signify
The machete in a public place such as an election might be said to signify a weapon, but to someone such as a farmer it could just be a tool they forgot to put away before the event and just a tool such as a shovel.
-
While only some of culture takes material form, the part that does records the shape and imprint of otherwise more abstract, conceptual, or even metaphysical aspects of that culture that they quite literally embody
Culture that takes material form can represent so much more to a culture than simply what it is. A material item can represent ideas, strengths, and what is important to a culture. To a farmer or livestock owner, a machete is seen as a tool, but to others it can be considered an objected, just as the supplemental reading, what is a machete anyways? suggests.

Looking at the cover now, it’s hard not to notice that one of the villainous figures looks a lot like Fidel Castro, and one of his comrades wields a machete. It’s hard to say whether or not this moment of recognition is related, but in high school I fell hard for Che Guevara, whose Jon Lee Anderson-penned biography I read with great enthusiasm.
This statement is an evidence of what is stated in Haltman essays that our interpretation of object is based on our experiences and interactions with it.
-
the machete has a special place in the labor history of Florida, where for three and a half centuries slaves and wageworkers cut sugarcane in the fields by hand. Indeed, machetes are unique to the extent that they have always been used for both purposes—and not just as a plot device in horror flicks, either.
Furthermore, through this comparison, it can be concluded that the machete is seen with different point of views.
-
That’s not entirely true: Florida state law requires that all carriers of concealed weapons, including knives, have a permit. But Wilson’s machete wasn’t concealed: it was tied to his thigh.
this is one point of view about what the machete could represent to a culture.

The machete initially known as a tool is now seen as a weapon used to intend harm when seen in the hands of criminals. The machete is a tool previously used by farmers or people in rural areas, they would use the machete to cut grass, or other resources they acquired.

Machetes are considered a cheap alternative for guns, neighbors had the utilities to slaughter each other with the own tools they used in their own fields, The use of machetes lead to genocides destroying tutsi people. Ordinary people would have rather used the machete for gruesome activities. The machete once a simple tool has grown to become a symbol for violence in the present.

The machete although a tool can quickly become a weapon in the hands of everyday people, for example when overthrowing corrupt leaders the people would revolt back in a machete they had used for their own labor. It is seen as a political symbol because it signifies the strength of the villagers or normal citizens revolting.
-
In the film, the Chicano anti-hero enacts a popular revolt against the white-dominated economic and political power structure of the director’s native Texas.
This film, might enhance what the machete represents for many cultures in Latin America. Furthermore, this could demonstrate what is it about the machete that explains its significant to these cultures.
-
Despite its Spanish word origin, the first major industrial manufacturers of machetes were English and American. English machete makers did their briskest business in the regions under the Empire’s control: Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, British Guiana, and Grenada.
Knowing the origin of this too could tell more about it from an analytic perspective.

One of the women wields a long knife as he cowers; it might be a sword, but it could be a machete. Not far away, I bought a souvenir blade emblazoned with the state seals of the five nations involved in Walker’s ouster. It was difficult to get past customs.
Having the machete, in such a historical statue evidences that the machete definitely is an object that could be seen as the material culture of different countries.

From this specific line, I can tell that the machete has been part of different cultures, and may have been given different names.

“Rust in peace,”
I am not even sure if this is a pun or a metaphor. A pun is form of word play that suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect. A metaphor is a figure of speech that refers to something as being the same as another thing for rhetorical effect. After finding their definitions I honeslty think it is a pun.

The fame of this photo led to a life of infamy for Nguyen Ngoc Loan, who quietly moved to the United States in 1975 and opened a pizza shop in Virginia.

Two of the biggest catalysts for protest were the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War and the ongoing lack of civil rights in the U.S. and elsewhere. Two of America’s most prominent leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy, were assassinated within months of each other. But some lessons were being learned and some progress was being made—this was also the year that NASA first sent astronauts around the moon and back, and the year President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act into law. It’s fitting that I post this retrospective today, since it is the day I was born—January 10, 1968. So, a 50th birthday present from me to you today: a look back at 1968.
This definitely describes the full topic of discussion in this article and is more interesting than anything. Sincerely, I had no idea that so many important events happened in 1968.

On the roadside, two emaciated Nigerian boys slowly die from starvation and malnutrition. Biafra was a breakaway state within Nigeria that fought a war for independence from 1967 to 1970, ending after years of fighting and a crippling blockade by Nigeria resulted in the deaths of between 500,000 and two million Biafran civilians by starvation.
This photo brings about a lot of emotions considering these kids are slowly dying of starvation. The soldiers aren't even acknowledging the children. It seems as though they have no care for them.

Violent clashes between policeman and students take place during the May 1968 protests in Paris, France.
The amount of fear that is shown in this picture is mortifying The right to protest should be said with no fear of any counter effects that may happen.

By late summer, talks between the Soviets and Czech leaders were not going the way the Kremlin wanted, so more than 2,000 tanks and thousands more Warsaw Pact troops invaded and occupied the country in August.
The saying is that history repeats itself is correct. Back then in history, nations executed invasions to give off the sense that they are superior and have power, leaving other countries terrified and powerless.

Two of America’s most prominent leaders, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Senator Robert F. Kennedy,

April 4, 1968
This year was very eventful, with the good and the bad the author gets to reflect on it. Since it is a milestone year for him.

One of the last pictures to be taken of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as he spoke to a mass rally in Memphis on April 3rd, saying he would not halt his plans for a massive demonstration scheduled for April 8 in spite of a federal injunction.
This picture is very powerful, in the fact that in mid speech it was taken and he was telling his listeners his intentions for the months to come. As he never stopped believing he could make a difference.
-
this was also the year that
Even though many things causing distraught to the country, they were able to make positive change as well.

Apollo 8
It's a beautiful scenery from the moon. It must have been a long journey from them. Also this was the first time that they ever got to see what earth looks like from the moon. This probably answered their questions to whether the earth is flat or not.

A U.S. Marine keeps his head low as he drags a wounded buddy from the ruins of the Citadel's outer wall during the Battle of Hue in Vietnam on February 16, 1968. #
The U.S Marine is trying his best to attempt to save his friend during this war. It looks like his friend is not only severely wounded but he is also unconscious.

Helicopters fly low during Operation Pegasus in Vietnam on April 5, 1968. They were taking part in the operation to relieve the Khe Sanh marine base, which had been under siege for the previous three months. #
It's a beautiful scenery and yet there is a lot of helicopters coming in to rescue someone.

President Johnson called federal troops into the nation's capital to restore peace after a day of arson, looting, and violence on April 5, 1968. Here, a trooper stands guard in the street as another (left) patrols a completely demolished building
Funny to me how men with guns are brought in to bring peace.

Fashion in 1968. Left: A male model wears a silk jersey print pajama leisure suit, sandals, and a necklace at a fashion show in New York on January 9. The show was entitled "Clothing for the Emancipated Man." Center: A sculpted silver necklace designed by Pierre Cardin features a diamond worth $60,000. The necklace is built into the halter that is part of a long black crepe evening gown presented in his spring collection in Paris, France, in February. Right: A cocktail dress of printed pure silk with a full skirt, a creation by the Fontana Sisters fashion house of Rome, to be presented at the upcoming Italian spring-summer ready-to-wear fashion show that opened in Florence on November 6, 1968.
I would assume that men dressing in women's clothing was quite looked down upon during at this time. (kind of as it is now). The photograph of the woman wearing the diamond necklace looks like something I'd see in a magazine today.

American figure skater Peggy Fleming practices on an outside rink on February 1968 in Grenoble, in the French Alps, during the 1968 Winter Olympic Games. Fleming took the gold medal in women's figure skating.
It seems that not many people where there to witness her ice skating. Perhaps not many interested, or maybe people were busy given the turmoil of the time.

South Vietnamese General Nguyen Ngoc Loan, chief of the national police, fires his pistol, executing suspected Viet Cong officer Nguyen Van Lem (also known as Bay Lop) on a Saigon street on February 1, 1968, early in the Tet Offensive. Lem was suspected of commanding a death squad which had targeted South Vietnamese police officers that day. The fame of this photo led to a life of infamy for Nguyen Ngoc Loan, who quietly moved to the United States in 1975 and opened a pizza shop in Virginia.
I've seen this picture before, but never knew the specific history behind it. I find it interesting that someone was able to capture such a brutal moment.
-
It’s fitting that I post this retrospective today
This retrospective can be compared today, where many are still fighting for equality - even though civil rights is not as blatant of a problem as it once was.
-
Civil Rights marchers
1968 and today are not so different. People are still fighting for their rights and beliefs to be recognized by society and government.

Here in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, state police cavalry charge students attending a memorial mass for Edson Luis de Lima Souto, a student killed by police, at Candelaria Church on April 4, 1968
I did not realize that there was a lot of violence happening in other parts of the world. I have always thought of it as something only occurring within United States and areas that the U.S was occupying (i.e Vietnam).

It 's funny how, even in times of aggression and violence, things like the Olympic games occur.
-
much of the world appeared to be in a state of crisis.
This could foreshadow that the article/pictures will explain or express that there were a lot of issues.

1968 was a year of protest. The topic of violent vs. non-violent protesting comes to the table.

A street scene from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Grant St. at 5th Ave. on August 24, 1968.

American actor Gary Lockwood on the set of 2001: A Space Odyssey, written and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The groundbreaking film premiered in April of 1968, and earned the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects.
Conspiracy theorists say Stanley Kubrick helped fake the moon landing; he directed a film of a fake moon landing.

This aerial view shows clouds of smoke rising from burning buildings in northeast Washington, D.C., on April 5, 1968. The fires resulted from rioting and demonstrations after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
I did not know there were riots after MLK's assasination.

A speaker addresses a mass rally in support of democracy organized by the youth of Prague at the Old Town Square in Prague, Czechoslovakia, on May 18, 1968. During a period called the "Prague Spring," Alexander Dubček, the newly-elected leader of the Warsaw Pact nation, enacted numerous reforms loosening state control and expanding individual rights, which both encouraged citizens and angered the Soviet Union.
It is interesting to learn about what was going in Prague in 1968. I have mostly learned about the U.S. and Vietnam during this time period.

Picture #24 https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/01/50-years-ago-in-photos-a-look-back-at-1968/550208/<br> The picture which is shown illustrates the horrors that were faced during the civil war in Nigeria, the war itself for freedom as shown in the photograph draws in negative externalities which cause damage to those who stand aside such as children. From what i gather when can suppose that there were over 1,000 casualties within a day in Nigeria at the time.

Picture #14 The atlantic
https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/01/50-years-ago-in-photos-a-look-back-at-1968/550208/ the world has no leader it's as if it collapsed, Individuals apart of the civil right groups had just lost a revolutionary leader his death aroused anger and chaos.Their leader had spoken from heart and thought, I think of it like this, violence just brought further retaliation from those who followed someone who represented change.

I am a man The atlantic (https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/01/50-years-ago-in-photos-a-look-back-at-1968/550208/) The picture shows a group of protestors who're overall african american. The fascinating thing about the picture is that their is contrast shown between the black protestors and the white protestor, They're wearing a sign "I'm a man" while the white man isn't, I believe it underlies a message that a white person didn't have to fight to achieve status as a man, while black individuals had to remind the world that they're human. The other soldiers outfits are darkened while one soldier's outfit is white this is another example of contrast shown, the white man with the protestors direction is pointed towards the man in white in-between the soldiers this to me symbolizes status the white man is usually seen at a higher status and the man in white is the commander being above the other soldiers which i found interesting. The differences between the people in the image makes the picture more powerful and true to its meaning.
