Rhetoric for Creative Commons

I chose to go with (Logos or the appeal to reason) in relation to the Creative Common articles we have read for class.

Though there are some that fight hard against sharing and allowing others to revise or revamp their work in any capacity. I chose logos because I feel that the Creative Common Laws appeal to reason in a way that makes it almost impossible for an individual to disagree or object.

I think this is the case because in appealing to logic or reason, there are several different variations or specifications that could possibly meet any needs of the individual that created whatever it is that may be revised or enhanced.

Wikipedia Cert Experience

I made it through the tutorial! Praise the SAVIOR! I made it!
It wasnt too bad at all, just a lot of information for me to digest all at once, as discussed in prior classes, Im a little older so my mind cant retain too much at one time so...
It really wasnt bad though, it was clear and easy to navigate through.

My problem is a topic. I have absolutely no idea of anything to write about, none whatsoever. I'm lost. I don't even know where to begin to look. Naturally food was the first thing to come to mind but what would I write about? I'm just glad I made it through the tutorial!

Wiki ikki..

I have used Wikipedia throughout my knowledge of the site. It is something that I use personally as well as academically and I will continue to do so.

As a student, knowing and relying on credible sources is a major conponent to your academic life and so, though I love Wikipedia, I am not afraid to outsource.

I think a lot of people, especially professors get carried away with the restrictive use they place on students in regards to Wikipedia. As long as it fits in the context of what it is being used for, I see nothing wrong with its use academically.

Creative Commons



I think the Creative Commons licenses are a great idea for certain works of individuals that do not mind people taking, altering or even advancing their original work as long as the credit and acclaim goes to the original creator. It can become very tricky with certain works but it is all relative. 

I do not think any of this applies directly to me because I do not really have works, other than pictures and writings. I think writings may need different copyright laws and regulation because altering writings alters the work.
