1). Going back to Chapter 10, answer the following question: Do an internet search using the terms forgiveness, reconciliation, and revenge. What kids of sites do you find? Which term produces more results? Why do you think that is?
When I looked up
Forgiveness I found “About 55,300,000 results.” There was everything from
forgiveness in the encyclopedia, forgiveness and religion and forgiveness in psychology.
The most common thing though was music videos for songs called Forgiveness.
Reconciliation got
51,900,000 results and all of the results were definitions, encyclopedia
entries, and religious websites. It seems that most of every link that was not
a definition or description of the word, was about reconciliation with
religion. There was the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Reconciliation Ministry,
and The Sacraments: Reconciliation.
When looking up revenge, I
found mostly links to the ABC show (amazing show). The first 3 pages of my
264,000,000 results were all about the definition and/or the show. Towards the
end of the third page there was one video of a driver taking revenge on another
driver…Other than that, nothing.
The term that produces the
most results is Revenge. I think that is mostly due to its staggering results
for the TV show and the use of revenge in video games (there was a ton of links
to video game revenge ideas).
Hey,
ReplyDeleteI think you did such a fantastic job on your post! In your post, you stated that when you searched the term forgiveness you got websites for encyclopedias, religion, and psychology. These are the same results that I got when I used Google to search for this term. For religion, all the information that I got was from the Bible. Second, when you searched reconciliation you got definitions and religious websites. For my results I only received information on the definition of reconciliation. And for the last term, revenge we both got the same results for the television series.
Bianca,
ReplyDeleteWhen I looked up “forgiveness” on Google, it gave me a very broad list of topics regarding forgiveness as well. I got results from the encyclopedia, religious websites, and psychology too, which were the most popular of the “forgiveness” sites. Although, for the term “reconciliation”, it seems you got a lot more religious websites in comparison to my search. It’s so interesting to see what you and our other classmates stumbled upon when searching these terms. Though the topics of the websites we found mainly relate to each other, they all seem different too. Great post!
