Rough Draft of Academic Article

On campus and Off Campus Living
No one would think that anyone would research about housing because it’s not a popular subject. Since I’ve arrived at the University of Michigan- Dearborn, I have always wondered what would happen to student housing and how the students view the situation.
Micheal P. Skahill conducted an experiment addressing this issue. “The role of social network in college persistence among freshman students” is the title. It was conducted at the University of San Francisco, California. The purpose of this study if to compare the social support systems for students who live on campus and commute. There were studies made to understand what contributes to persistence in degree program for students.
Next was a study for the University of Michigan in the 1940 called “And a roof over their heads”. This was basically about the trials and tribulations that women had to go through to receive housing at the university. Some people didn’t want them to stay there because they were afraid that the women would disrupt the routine of the house. Finally women were accepted in the house, because they weren’t as noisy and loud as men.
Last was a Article called “Where’s the house party? This article talks about how student housing environment is a risk factor for college behavior. It states that the attitude about alcohol at a dorm room can determine the behavior of a college student. A study was shown that students living in a Greek House consume more alcohol than students in residential hall(Larimer et al 2000).
In closing these articles give important information about the effects of on campus and off campus living. I’ve learned that there are disadvantages to living on campus. In addition I learned about the historical events regarding women at the University of Michigan.

Godin And Shirky

Godin and Shirky makes a presentation about global networking, both were expressive both in two different ways. Godin expresses his self with a lot of humor but careful not to portray a joke out of his subject.He uses funny pictures of clowns babies, and balloons. However Shirky seems more firm about his proposal. For example he uses Africa and an Explosion in Asia to make his point.Even though there both talking about global networking, there is a contrast within the subject.One seem to persuade while the other to inform. For example, Godin's motive was to persuade the audience to come together and form tribes. Tribes that will only take a few people that are interested in your motive. It was a speech to instill encouragement to the audience to form tribes of any purpose. He gave examples of tribes that are well known within a society, community or school. He talks about coming together using global networking. On the other hand, Shirky's informative speech talks about global networking and its disadvantages. For example events that have happen and the citizens that took control of the event by posting it before the media could make a headline about it. He describes how global networking played a big part in the presidential election. The past election was much more different than previous elections. Simply because global networking was commonly used by our president. The internet is a fast way to spread ideas, suggestions and point of views. On the contrary, the two men accomplished there task, there conclusion, there objective. Both men have came to a conclusion about networking. Godin encourages people to use the internet more because its an advantage to any tribe that someone wants to create. It helps people present there point of view across the world. Though both men arrive a conclusion they aren't similar. Shirky expresses that social media changed history. He informed us about a blog that Barack Obama created to inform citizens about the election. Obama had people that disagreed with him but he didnt take the blog down. This was a way for Obama to collect peoples ideas and views about his ideas and views. In comparison, both men came to a point in there speech were they were talking about informing others by global networking. For example, Godin talks about individuals forming tribes to inform the public about their tribe. While Shirky uses Obama using global networking to inform the public about the election..
