  • But some linguists and music historians say the reality is more nuanced. For one thing, frequent use of "I" doesn't signal a haughtier sense of one's status but the opposite, according to James Pennebaker, the social psychologist who invented the text-analysis program used in the 2011 study of song lyrics. The higher a person's standing, the less frequently that person uses 'I' words, according to Pennebaker in his book, The Secret Life of Pronouns: What Our Words Say About Us.
  • People who tell the truth use the word 'I' more.
  • No, "we" isn't necessarily such a communal word after all. It often comes off as presumptive and exclusionary, and can be seen as one group speaking—out of turn—for others.

  • Even in science writing, where personal pronouns were once forbidden, some journals are now open to informal, active language—though "we" has gained acceptance more quickly than "I."
  • But if someone is saying something that happened to them and it resonates with your own experience, then you don't call it narcissistic. You call it poetry.

    No, "we" isn't necessarily such a communal word after all. It often comes off as presumptive and exclusionary, and can be seen as one group speaking-out of turn-for others.

    Really smart and detailed analysis of the rise of the "not all men" meme in online discussions of sexism. The kind of analysis could be a model for an EMAC 6300 essay.

  • At its peak, the project drew in more than 40,000 Cubans to share news and exchange opinions. But its subscribers were never aware it was created by the U.S. government, or that American contractors were gathering their private data in the hope that it might be used for political purposes.

    I hope I don't have to tell you guys "I told you so!" about Python vs. Java. Harvey Mudd credits the swtich to Python in intro coding as one of the key factors of success in increasing underrepresented groups in CS major!

  • hile a transfer would be perceived by many to represent a change in control, the reality is that the U.S. will not be relinquishing much power even when (or if) the transition occurs. In the years since the U.S. first indicated that it would shift away from Internet governance, it has steadily erected jurisdictional authority over a considerable portion of the Internet infrastructure

  • There is a real risk that it will benefit the wealthiest sliver of the American and global elite at the expense of everyone else
  • testament to how deeply inequality reverberates through our economic policies
  • But there would be some big losers — namely, the rest of us.

  • One of the worst is that it allows corporations to seek restitution in an international tribunal, not only for unjust expropriation, but also for alleged diminution of their potential profits as a result of regulation. This is not a theoretical problem. Philip Morris has already tried this tactic against Uruguay, claiming that its antismoking regulations, which have won accolades from the World Health Organization, unfairly hurt profits, violating a bilateral trade treaty between Switzerland and Uruguay.
  • There is already some evidence that companies are choosing how to funnel their money into different countries on the basis of where their legal position in relation to the government is strongest
  • But the TPP would make the introduction of generic drugs more difficult, and thus raise the price of medicines.
  • Trickle-down economics is a myth. Enriching corporations — as the TPP would — will not necessarily help those in the middle, let alone those at the bottom.

    Seriously, the TPP is as bad as the deals we read about in Drahos and Braithwaite.
