Survey Results Are In!!!

Here's a screen shot of some results from my survey! :)

Composing a survey of questions for the topic I have chose, at first, seemed difficult to conduct. I had no clue what kind of questions I would want to ask my audience. However, after deep thinking I figured why not question my audience's knowledge and personal opinon on the topic. "Lebanese Politics" being my topic of choice, I was curious as to what people actually know about the country and it's government and what their opinon is about the political system.

The results received from many people varied a lot. Some questions tested the survey taker's knowlege and with these questions I was surprised to see how much many people knew about the Lebanese government. The opinionated questions, however, were what really interested me. The views expressed by all survey takers differed greatly. Some takers agreed with the statement and some disagreed and further explained their views. Through this, I feel that I have taken in all perspectives of the topic and the situations given at hand.

Civil War in Lebanon

Above are pictures of what Beruit used to look like from the causes of Civil War and how it is now rebuilt and improved. These times were mostly in the 60's and 70's around the time my parents lived there. However, due to damage of their beloved Beirut, they moved to America. Now, them, along with many others, can return to their beautiful reconstructed hometown thanks to many leaders such as Rafiq Harriri :)

Exercise Two
If ever there was an idea custom-made for a Jay Leno monlogue, this was it: Robert Pattinson hasn't showered his hair since the making of Twilight. Isn't that like not brushing your teeth? Whatever happened to daily showers and personal hygene?
I happen to sympathize with Rob, though, perhaps because my hair takes forever to look perfect as well and i wouldn't want to shower it all the time either. I mean, come on, the guy is known for his incredible messy signiture hair. Would you wash a million dollars? No, and thats exactly why he doesn't shower his million dollar hair. Many people may think its disgusting but if thats whats making him successful then i say go for it rob!! don't shower!!

The screen image that I captured is the home screen of my Internet Explorer browser. This image looked very familiar to me because of my often access to the Internet at home. Seeing this image as a screen shot was a little abnormal to me because I thought I could “ex” out the screen or click a link but in reality it was just a picture.
Composing something in digital space comes as a freedom to create whatever you please. Many people aren't actually good at painting, or photography, or even handwriting. However, with technology today, the average art student is a capable of recreating the Mona Lisa online; excuse the exaggeration. Digital spaces give me a lot of room to write what I want, see what I want, read what I want, and much more. It also is efficient to the modern day college student to use digital space to compose essays, pictures, and so on.
Taking a snapshot of my screen was something I did not know how to do prior to this assignment. However, with easy instructions and access to the “blogger.com” website, making a blog and posting this assignment was simple to do. This is one example of taking advantage of a digital composing process. If people are taught and learn how to follow processes similar to this assignment’s process, then the digital space can easily be used in composing anything from essays, to blogs, to works of art. This assignment shows proof that one does not have to be tech-savvy in order to follow a digital composing process.
