Summary: in the essay "Small Change: why the revolution will not be tweeted" Malcolm talks about how we will not make big changes in the world through the Internet. He talks about how activist on social media are really not activist. Those so called "Activist" that are on the Internet don't risk anything so they truly are not an activist. He defines a true activists as someone who risk something, someone who risks their life or their freedom. Malcolm's main point is that if we want to make any real changes we have to risk more, we have to do more than just like or re-tweet something in order to difference

Conclusion: I do agree with the essay that a real activist needs to risk more than just a like on Facebook or a re-tweet on Twitter in order to be an activist. A activist back in the 90's risked their life or  their safety in order to fight for something they believed in and you really don't see that kind of activism now a days. Although i do agree with the essay I think that social media can make positive impacts, like spreading awareness to things like ALS. The Internet brought extreme attention to ALS through the ice bucket challenge, but the meaning of the ice bucket challenge also got lost through the Internet. The internet can make changes and bring awareness to things, but I think if people take more risks like the activist in the 90's; there would be more changes and making risks would give more meaning to what they are fighting for.

Summary: In the book "they say I say" I read a essay called "A Lifetime of Student Debt? Not Likely. In this essay many different people talk about how students go into school debt because of lack of knowledge. Or they go into debt because they go to a school way out of their price range for the fact that it is their dream school. The essay also talks about how a student takes out to many loans and are not able to pay them back in the future because the degree of certificate they obtained may not land them a high paying job. which means they wont be able to pay back their student loans and they then will go into debt.

Response: I really found this essay rather interesting. Because I always hear how a student will have to work the rest of their life to pay off a student debt and how student loans are so bad. But I never hear the other side that a student just dosent know what they are getting into when they get a student loan. The student may just have lack of knowledge and that is the reason they go into student debt. I like how this essay gives another view on student loan debt. It  also shows that maybe its not the loans that are the problem, but maybe its the lack of knowledge when getting a student loan is the problem.
