Hatch, Style. “ARC’s 2015 Population Estimates.” In Keeping with Tradition. Tumblr, 11 Aug.2015. Web. 03 Feb. 2016.

The authors and researchers of this online post focus and provide statistics of the population in Atlanta that directly impacts the structure and buildings they occupy. Between April 1 of 2014 and April 1 of 2015 over 60,000 new residents have been added to the metro Atlanta area. According to the site this region includes Fulton, Gwinnett, Cobb, Dekalb, City of Atlanta, Clayton, Cherokee, Henry, Douglas, Fayette, and Rockdale. In Fulton alone it was about 12,300 new residents. This is important to our research of building Atlanta because the more visitors and residents the city gains the more there is pressure put on the structure of the builds, roads, and sewage systems. I chose this article because it pointed out what many might miss when it comes to causes for structures in Atlanta that is population. One flaw could be the validity of the statistics and how they came to the conclusion of the calculations.

Better Online Living Through Content Moderation

The focus of the article by Melissa King is to address victimized women online due to the easy exposure they face in the cyber world.  The author points out examples of online harassment and how breaking them down in order of severity lessens how badly the harassment is graded. All women deal with being a victim on many different levels. Some simply suffer from anxiety and some even feel suicidal or begin to suffer from PTSD.  King explains ways to notice when a potential attack could take place.

Using what they call a block list and privacy setting can help limit a woman’s exposure to being a victim to online attacks. Also being able to control the features of a person’s personal life will make them less of a target as well. The author discusses trigger signs from the media where the visual content displayed has a negative affect on past victims. It increases the likelihood of an anxiety episode or impulsive actions. Outside of physical victims being triggered, commercials have a consumer affect on individuals who buy items seen on television.

Commercials are well known for repetitious display of their products to attain the consumer’s attention and get them to purchase their product based on visual stimulation. Its what the author describes as subliminally transmitted information. They typically fill their messages with triggers to get you to spend your money. This course of marketing is very common in the U.S. and is used on all levels of high-end companies and low-end companies. The introduction of sales through the Internet has becoming a booming success for companies and majority of the time its where they receive their most profits.

Being able to reach a buyers pockets inside of their homes hundreds and thousands of miles away has made it easier for online advertising attackers as well.  Television and Internet ads are somewhat restricted and regulated to what they can distribute to consumers. The article speaks on how the block list idea still requires some work to how respond to said content control with what individuals can be exposed to. King’s point of view on content control is that the tool is not as helpful as the users think. She claims it will more so worsen whatever they need help from instead of making it easier to deal with the exposure.

When it comes to legalities of using block lists, there has become an increase amount of demand for them because of a rise in hate groups. People are accusing others of defaming their character and suing for being placed on the block list. King thinks that women are being targeted because they are the minority in the business world. The use of moderate tools doesn’t have an effect on a person using mean or angry words toward someone. These particular words are not seen to cause actual harm to a person. In conclusion of the article, the importance of using guard tools is dependant on the individual but ultimately does not have an effect on protecting people. Its all a personal preference.

Understanding Visual Rhetoric in Digital Writing Environments

The article by Mary Hock focuses on arguing that literature is changing directions away from simply writing to a design of writing. Hocks believes a new age of writing that includes technology is considered a type of hybrid design. She emphasizes that hybridity in new media digital writing environments requires a multimodal literacy. Hocks provides us with three elements of analysis with which we can talk about visual and digital texts: audience stance, transparency, and hybridity. It is thought that modern media is changing and rewriting literacy by mixing historical writing with new age writing skills. She explains that it’s a necessity to recognize that visual and print literacy occupy the world of writing together and compliment one another rather that oppose one another. By paying attention to the influence that visual writing has on writers, literacy will give students the opportunity to completely understand the digital age of writing.

Furthermore it is thought to be the responsibility of instructors to stress the importance of being a critical critic of new age media. Once those observational skills are practiced and strengthened, when it comes to their own work, students will be self-aware their own text. Being able challenge ones own designs in a new digital world is what makes a writer most successful. Hock states that the composure of the literature should be able to look at an example or a model and create something from deep in their mind to create a composition visually and verbally that compliments an argument together. When literacy shows proper fluidity the reader challenged to think on a deeper level and can produce a visual to support what is being read in the text.

Hock describes that It’s important to include text production as well as rhetorical criticism to the students’ classroom so that its easier to understand digital rhetoric. It’s best to not only be a critic of digital rhetoric but also a designer of literacy knowledge. Being a designer of the text provides backing and support to new media with showing full involvement in media text. Hocks analyzes two scholarly texts by Anne Wysocki and Christine Boese and pays particular attention to the three following elements: audience stance, transparency, and hybridity. According to Hocks, analyzing digital texts in such terms allow us to adopt pedagogy, which is the method and practice of teaching as an academic subject. Today’s world revolves around technology and the demand of information and writing on the go. It has become vital to appeal to readers not just with text but add video and images to the text for all viewers.

She concludes that teaching design has a transformative potential for students when they create digital literacy and observe how audiences use and understand the work. The students then view themselves as producers of knowledge in their own skill group. New students have to be taught how to improve this rhetoric-writing format so that they become experts who create masterpieces in literacy along with teaching others preceding them.

His & Hers: Designing for a Post-Gender Societ

The United States is typically the leader in modern living and lifestyles. Melissa King wrote an article about implementing gender-neutral designs not only in an individual’s personal space but now they workplace. During this age of revolution, traditional masculine and feminine roles are not as finely divided as they once were. Due to advanced technology and continuing changes to cultural acceptances, the differences between genders are becoming more of a grey area. Fewer situations in the world are being defined as male or female as sexuality is being removed from categorical groups.

The article focuses on textile designers evolving their workplace and creations into gender-neutral designs and atmospheres. History has shown than the male perspective has always been the leading drive of societal views from job positions to designs of those said job offices. Even today masculine views continue to have a leg up but the gender view gap is slowly closing. Along with gaining equality between gender designs, feminist are becoming more vocal around the world for men to join in support of gender equality. Of these supporters, the LGBTQ community has joined the fight and made great progress.

When it comes to the workplace, women are making strides to make their presence know in the hierarchy of job positions and visual art in the physical office space. Incorporating the outdoors and light into the workplace has led to designers adding softer interiors, open floor plans and overall more inviting feelings to the space. The time is major right now for add gender sensitivity to the workplace which helps the workers as well as any guest that visit. Due to the obscurity of gender lines occurring rapidly, fashion and beauty are the first areas that welcome the mixing of masculine and feminine views followed by the interior design world.

For example, King points out fashion designer Alexander Wang who created a women’s coat with a male military look. Or a makeup company that created a line to appeal to male buyers. In the past women’s coats would only have a feminine design point of view to separate a woman’s body from a man’s. In modern day society it is becoming visually more difficult to distinguish girls from boys and boys from girls. Because of this, designers are embracing the children who decide against identifying their as a particular gender on forms and institutional documents. Included in this growth of unspecified gender identification, transgendered people are fighting to end any and all sexually labeling barriers.

Because of these points of views being brought to light, companies directed their attention to the public bathrooms in their office space and inviting gender-neutral or unisex bathrooms. This helps to eliminate individuals having to choose between male or female and feeling uncomfortable about it. Apparently complaints to human resources have brought on this solution to accommodate employees and guest. We have to become more open minded and sensitive to everyone’s uniqueness and personal likings. Respect for one’s personal needs is the next step in the post-gender society.

Recognizing Campus Landscapes as Learning Space

The article “Recognizing Campus Landscapes as Learning Spaces” focuses on colleges of today eliminating the divided and closed in feeling and incorporated an open and inclusive environment to a wide variety of people. Authors Scholl and Betrabet inform in the article how the goal for colleges is to make their students more comfortable included into the campus atmosphere so that they feel involved and apart of the community for which they are dedicating their attendance for the next 2-4+ years. The purpose of this article is to explain how they growth of different demographics and backgrounds of college attendees is impact how much colleges have to change and adapt to the variety of ethnic, cultural, religious, and ideological views that they now have to accommodate.

As college enrollment steadily increases, many cultural norms are being accepted into American society at an increasing pace so students are singled out and made to feel unaccepted. The authors discuss how important it is not to exclude students for it will benefit them in a negative way once they join the work force later on post college.  There is a quote used in the article that basically states how indoor and open spaces have a positive effect long term on a students’ learning by encouraging a community feeling. Most of the time making this connection to education is overlooked. College has grown to focus on diversifying its student community. In accepting these individuals from all walks of life the campus as to adapt to them and their individuality needs and comfort. The article provides some background on college and the mark it left on society academically.

To look back on the original purpose for college that was to educate boys of upper class families, it has definitely come a long way. The passing of the Morrill Act of 1862 caused many state colleges to be created and gave middle class men the chance to become more educated and literate. Progressively colleges in the U.S. began to allow minorities and women to gain the same academic opportunities. Now there are women and minorities with jobs in engineering, fortune 500 companies, agriculture, technologies, and secondary education. Because of segregation those chances of careers weren’t available just over 60 years ago.

The article wraps up by emphasizing how important it is to provide spaces throughout college campuses that openly accept any and all social norms. Contrary to popular believe, college spaces that appeal to and encourage learning makes it easier for students to learn. The feeling of being welcomed and part of a community has become a part of what college is all about. Gaining academic knowledge alongside social skills is what students need most once they graduate and enter the workforce. As is students sometimes suffer from attention fatigue or boredom from sitting in class after class. Incorporating technology into the classroom and common areas will help to recapture their attention and get students more involved in the environment on campus. Time well spent outside of instructional time is just as if not more important than class time.
