I was reading “The publication of Your Personal Profile” written by Megan Ramirez from Arak Anthology.
The author argues about do “Facebook” and “Myspace” protect customers’ profiles well. Although there are some ways to prohibit other people to see those pictures or profiles, it is very dangerous if people publish some secrets on websites. People may think websites like “Facebook” and “Myspace” are a good way to communicate with each other, but the author indicates that “Facebook” and “Myspace” may disclose the secrets. And the author list the most common and significant aspects of this effects.
The author uses examples to illustrate her whole opinion towards post personal profile online.
Employers use “Facebook” and “Myspace” to observe employees-to-be. The author lists an example which was happened in University of Delaware to demonstrate her point.
I think this essay is very persuasive. Because the author quotes a lot of researches and gives us a lot of real evidences, such as the resident assistant of University of Delaware posted some pictures on Facebook to show that they were doing something illegal, so the staff of University of Delaware found that and polished them. The author also makes others examples to persuade the audience to believe her point of view.
