reading and A Thinker's Response #1

Due Friday, January 30th be e-mail at 10a.m., you will need to read the following article, "The End of White America?", which is much more in-depth than its title gives on. This thought-provoking piece asks, if not explores, very considerate questions about our American culture and some of the effects that have been shaping its constant transformation/renewal. Among the brief topics include discussion of the role media technology plays in shaping an overall American worldview and individual American mindsets.

A Thinker's Response 1 (due by e-mail at 10a.m., Friday)

After reading Hua Hsu's "The End of White America?" I'd like you to write a serious, considerate response to what you think will make up " an American Identity" in 2042; what technology (-ies) will play (or continue to play?) a role in shaping or hardening this identity; and identify and provide example explanation to some other possible factors and their possible effects in shaping this future America.

The strongest responses will be exploratory, explanatory of points, and reflective in content; concise and clear in language, as well as original in voice.

Required: 2-3 pages, double-spaced, standard format (12 point font size; Times New Roman)

Start your responses as follows:

Your Name
