Using "Facebook to Teach Rhetorical Analysis" had some interesting points. However, I don't agree with argument that posts to Facebook are not driven by those attempting to enlighten or liberate. Many use the network to voice opinions that no one has the desire to listen to otherwise. They are most often the individuals who use the network to push their political and religious beliefs, so I hide their news feed accordingly. I don't want to read about "Jesus woke me up this morning" while I'm trying to advance to the next level in Candy Crush. The thing I do like about Facebook is the ability to filter opinions I do not agree with. It's kind of like that old adage, "Don't talk about religion and politics at a party," but what is proper these days? Maybe I'm one the "older adults" that just doesn't understand. I use Facebook to play games and keep in touch with old friends and acquaintances. After reading the article, on a more positive note, I don't think I can ever log onto Facebook and not approach it from a rhetorical perspective. Drats!
