ACADEMIC HELP

[kiaxet]

You have no idea how hard it was to resist the temptation to put an A in that HELP.

I am finished with my thesis!...almost. This is where I start asking for favors. If anyone's got some spare time AHAHAHA yeah right I know and would like to look at my thesis, it's here. I have been told the conclusion needs an overhaul, but I don't see it; then again, I tend to hate conclusions in general.

Also, I need to do an abstract and a brief bio about me. The abstract won't be a problem. The bio, however, is a pain to write, given I hate writing about myself. Anybody have any suggestions or good examples?

I am so close to finished with this thing. So gorram close.

Re: the conclusion, it's possible that Facebook's large market share and the ease of one-click "Join this group to endorse Cause X" may also be factors in its greater contribution to activist causes. I think this is probably why FB > 4chan and LJ; FB's audience dwarfs 4chan, and it's harder to sign up for a LJ account and configure it than it is to start a FB account and let it invade your email addresses to propagate your contacts and preferences.

Not that ethos doesn't play a significant role--FB makes it easy to check out the credentials (or lack thereof) of a given cause's sponsoring group. And that may be the decisive factor in why FB > Twitter. I can recognize famous users like @stephenfry, but who the hell are 99.99% of Twitter account users? It takes longer to verify that a Twitter request is worth my time, so I'm not likely to pay attention to it.

Here's a sample bio--use at your own risk, since this is coming off of three hours of sleep:

[Your Name] is a fourth-year [your major] student at Pepperdine University. She has been interested in rhetoric since [some date and possibly a brief summary of how you got into this], and she has [some description of your moderator responsibilities--helps build applied rhetoric cred]. After graduation, she plans to [your plans].
