Summary and Weinberger
I related my primary source of my summary to Weinberger’s theory of the web public; An idea that all constituents of online discourse communities are entitled to the freedom of speech. Web communities are ultimately utopian societies in comparison to the real world. There everyone is on a level playing field and possess equal voice. In summarizing the article then comparing it to Weinberger’s theory there is a visible differences amid both communities. Illegal immigrants of Latino decent have little or no voice. They are categorized as a singular unit, and their issues and concerns are jumble of generalized statements. Such a perverse system limits their voice due to the mere fact that they are not Americans citizens. Online individuals can move from one discourse community to another without hindrance, unfortunately in the real world borders and xenophobia prevents such fluidity of movement.
