First of all, this article is a pretty modern one which is related to our daily technological-cyber lives, and thus connects to us faster. What I liked about this article is that the subject(digital altruism) is very clear in front of our eyes each day, but nobody has ever written about it and explained it in depth(especially with psychological proof).In addition, I also liked the definition of "digital altruism" as the good deeds toward others for little effort, and how it affects our perception of greater altruistic acts without us noticing it. However,in my opinion, the author didn't do such a significant job in writing this text. She did not pay attention for the redundancy of similar ideas in the text; it actually got a bit boring towards the end. Also, the topic itself isn't actually a draw back as I stated up, but the way she handled it caused it to become very constant and "gray" if I can say, since I doubt much people care about a topic very clear to the eyes in a research this big; she just inflates the text with similar ideas and quotes. It would've been a lot better and more interest-evoking if she used less words and headed directly to the core of the subject itself.
Digital altruism is a term I wasn't very familiar with and so I was rather unenthusiastic about reading the text. However, while reading, I appreciated the easily comprehensible text and the many examples it provided. And thanks to it, I soon realized that I myself had already taken part in everyday digital altruism through a game called RuneScape. I also liked the fact that the author did a bit more than just explain to us about digital altruism. By omitting any unpleasant consequences that digital altruism may have, he actually seemed to encourage us to experience it ourselves, and I find myself tempted to visit some of the many websites or applications that he mentioned. On the downside, the author failed to keep me interested until the very end of the article mainly due to paragraphs seeming overdeveloped especially the conclusion and that made reading sometimes a bit of a bore.
When i first started reading the article i didn't really understand the author's perspective on how the internet can "give rise" to altruism. But after reading it over, i decided to agree with what the author had to say about the internet bringing awareness to people's eyes. That said, the author spoke of a subject that not many people address and he wrote about digital altruism in a way that makes us readers persuaded to follow and read more about it. On the other hand, the article was not that intriguing for the only reason that the author circled a little too much AROUND the topic instead of just being blunt and concise.
I think that the subject that Klisanin discusses in her article is really interesting, especially since I didn’t really know what “altruism” is. It was the first time that I read something about this subject, and learning more about “digital altruism” helped me understand more those kinds of websites that are found everywhere online nowadays and which are there to help people in any way possible via internet. But the article became a little bit boring towards the end because it felt like the author kept on going over the same idea many times.
Reading this article was interesting at first but I felt that towards the middle, the style of the author became a bit redundant and boring and I lost interest in what she was saying. However, I do like her choice of topic. I think we all witness “digital altruism” everyday but don’t pay much attention to the fact that it is altruism; we don’t feel like we’re really helping out causes by sharing links or helping someone figure out a problem but we are. One thing to point out is that the author only focuses on what’s positive about the Internet and that’s what I disliked about the text. The Internet does have a downside aside from all of its benefits. If we think about it, the Internet gathers a numerous amount of hate speeches and intolerant people sharing their narrow-minded opinions about universal topics. By giving freedom of speech to all people it makes them more vulnerable to harsh criticism and the target of many Internet trolls. Altruism is then transformed into meanness.
I agree with your point of view , I felt that text a bit boring towards the middle . But I disagree the idea that " we all witness a digital altruism" , a bad generalization !
I agree with you that I maybe I did misuse the word "all" I should have said most instead. Anyhow, think that when you share an important link on Facebook to spread a certain word that is relevant to you or to your cause, or sign a petition on change.org, you are engaging in some kind of altruism. Remember small change is still change and change doesn't happen overnight it takes time and relentless effort to be achieved.
In her text, Dana Klisanin discusses a very interesting point that I wasn't familiar with since I didn't know what "altruism" is. However, after reading this article, I really liked how the author presented this subject, and supported every detail with an example. I was interested to continue reading because I felt that I was familiar with some websites she mentioned even though I was discovering what "digital altruism" means. The author encourages us to be involved in these kinds of websites and he points the importance of the Internet in helping people. Although I found this article interesting, the author kept on repeating herself, which means that she could lose the reader’s attention. In my opinion, the text was too long and everything written in these 10 pages could have been expressed in less than that.
This article is very interesting, the author gives us a lot of precise informations; we can't but notice the big number of sources she used to write this text. In addition, this article shows us that the Internet - besides being informative and connecting people - created a new kind of altruism ( digital altruism ). But I think that this text is vainly too long, the author is turning around the same ideas over and over again.
tl;dr Anyway, I believe the Internet does give rise to some sort of altruism. The anonymity it provides you with makes you less self-conscious about your own identity when engaging in digital interactions. From my own experience, I find being on a forum a great way of stimulating one's hidden altruism and sense of giving. For example, when I overcome a programming obstacle or research a specific subject, I post about it on a forum where those who come across it might have faced the same problem or were intrigued by my research topic.
I loved the topic of the text. Most of the times, when talking about the benefits of the internet, we forget to mention the altruism, yet it is one of the most important advantages of the web. Thanks to the large number of examples given to support each idea of the text, we learn more about this type of interactions between people. I personally was encouraged to be a part of the digital altruism ,and every person should be involved in this kind of website. That's how the internet will be used for great causes, and for helping people in need. Finally, the text is well structured and organized, however, in my opinion, it is very detailed and repetitive.
The text "Is the Internet Giving Rise to New Forms of Altruism" is long and boring. However, I liked the part "everyday digital altruism". There are social networking sites used to authorize digital altruism. Just by clicking on a specific link, with no money needed, a person would have supported a charity or saved rainforest acres... Different kinds of interesting websites are designed for a specific cause(example: shopping to donate for charity...)
The whole content of this text is altruism and how it is applicable through the internet. I already knew what altruism means but I never thought about it from the “digital” perspective. What I really liked about this article is that it awakened me to notice how I, as an internet user, practice altruism every day without even noticing. To answer the question submitted in the title, yes I do believe that the internet is giving rise to new kinds of altruism. I was also taken by the examples given about the subject and the author’s conclusion on how everyday digital altruism is powerless without creative and co-creative digital altruism. However, Klisanin elaborated a little too much in my opinion; a lot of examples were repeated and a great deal of ideas were restated and detailed. Moreover the author forgot to mention that, alongside the altruism, the internet contains a huge amount of egoism: for example some people use those “click-to-donate” links as a fraud to trick people and receive their money.
When i first read this article i found it long and boring but after reflection and patience i started to get the message and the idea.Digital altruism is a new concept but really present in our world,today the internet is a power by itself thus we must know how to use it !I think that the internet is great and can really help like the article said but it can never replace real interaction and contact,our tweets or notification wont change the world.However this article is well written and has concrete examples.
The topic of digital altruism that Dana Klisanin discusses in her text is intriguing. The text provides several clear examples of the different types of digital altruism, thus revealing how pervasive this phenomenon has become in all its types, and that’s especially due to the fact that an increasing number of people are relentlessly being connected through the Internet. Although the text sounded a bit boring around the middle, I can’t deny the fact that it is very organized, rich and beneficial for it highlights a somehow hidden topic which is rarely discussed or exposed to the public. And once people learn more about it, they’d be encouraged to be a part of these acts of digital altruism that promote several humane values.
The text by Dana Klisanin is modern and beneficial. Moreover, it helps us understand vital keywords used inn the cyber world. For example, digital altruism was clearly explained by the author. Moreover, she gave some vital merits of the internet. She shows how the internet address our modern dilemmas such as nuclear armaments and ozone depletion. She also emphasis the effects of technology on nearly every aspect of our modern world. However, Klisanin's style of writing was somehow boring and long. One might stop reading the text and miss vital information provided by such a profound.
The author really does have a point when she talks about how the internet could raise altruism and helps us become aware of helping others and contributing in doing good deeds, but the text was too long for such a subject.. especially that it didn't include any new ideas as the text went on.. she was just repeating herself and creating more and more monotony. This is a very important topic that should be given a lot of attention and should be made interesting in order to capture more readers' and internet users' attention..
I think this text is very interesting and at the same time extremely boring. On one hand the subject covered which is mostly "digital altruism" is very interesting and unusual because in my case this is the first time I ever read or heard something about it. We live in a very technologically advanced time and digital altruism is something we experience and do without really noticing, that’s one of the things that makes this article so unique because it helps you visualize these things that you weren't really aware of. On another hand, this article is extremely repetitive which makes it really hard for the reader to keep up with or get interested by the subject. So even though the subject is very interesting and unique it is hard for the reader to stay captivated from the beginning to the end of the text. I believe Dana Klisanin should have made the text much shorter and straight to the point without giving as many examples.
I had a wrong thought once I started reading this article that it would only talk about donating money online, but after reading through I was really surprised by the many altruistic campaigns we encounter everyday without even noticing them. I like the way Klisanin classifies the acts of altruism under three categories, and mentioning many examples of each category like contributing information, click to donate, petition to support causes, etc.The most method i liked was the smile cards campaign which falls under the creative digital altruism. Well, despite that fact that I've never heard of this, it is really similar to the huge campaign we have witnessed lately "The ice bucket challenge". When participants promotes awareness to a cause (ALS in this case) and then they pay it forward or pass it to others in shape of a challenge which will encourage more research concerning this matter. I come to many aspect of online altruism almost everyday without even noticing or paying attention to. For example I am a huge fan if Linux. which is an open source operating system ,but I've never looked at it from the altruistic perspective before reading this article, when many people around the world are contributing to make something useful and free for any person around the world. The fact that Klisanin provides many examples in her article really grabbed my attention toward it because it is not another theoretical thoughts of somebody.
What captivated me about this article is how we all take part in what she is describing, without giving much thought to it. Instead, Klisanin gives rise to 'digital altruism' and opens our eyes to what the true outcomes of our actions are. This article shows the better side of the internet, and gives us the benefits (with examples) of how massive an effect one person can have by promoting a disease online. What was once unknown to many can become worldwide by the pressing of a button. Although the article was repetitive, it was insightful and very organised.
When i first read the article i found it boring, the author didn't add new topics through out the article. However, the topic is really important for us as internet users ,it helps us to be aware of helping others and shows the good side of the internet and how to use it in a proper way.
I think the author really does have a point. Digital altruism phenomena is pretty big these days. We can support many campaigns online( the author doesn't fail in giving examples). I would just like to add to all the examples the author gave the "ice bucket challenge" that was started for a good cause: the awareness about ALS. So we as an internet society can be of help, we are not passive. The topic was very interesting, but I found the text a little boring and a bit too long.
The text "Is the Internet Giving Rise to New Forms of Altruism" by Dana Klisanin, is actually interesting at first because it discusses a very important issue that has come up today. The author talks about how users are using the Internet to share campaigns and act on behalf of the needs of other people. Such campaigns include donation to the Animal Welfare Society, Cancer Research Funds, Brave Heart Funds and many more. She presents methods of donating which include “click to donate” for charities or that part of the shopping money goes to those in need. However, as the text progresses, it becomes extremely boring in a way that the author keeps on repeating the same ideas over and over again, and this in turn will have the reader lose his/her attention.
Although I found the text a bit long or boring at some parts, it was mainly very interesting. In fact, I agree with Dana Klisanin that the Internet is indeed giving rise to new forms of altruism. I never personally paid attention to digital altruism, but now after reading the text, I can distinguish between three categories for various degrees of online altruism; this includes “every day digital altruism” where individuals click to donate to a charity which is found on many websites and in that way, we are helping volunteers or supporting some specific causes, there is also “creative digital altruism” where users design websites or platforms to help others like the well-known open-source operating system “Linux” that we can use and modify for free, and “co-creative digital altruism“ projects where groups or corporations come together to produce something for the greater good.
In "Is the Internet Giving Rise to New Forms of Altruism" Dana Klisanin discusses an interesting topic that has evolved in our growing world. She talks about digital altruism and how charities are working nowadays by the "click to donate" method to support some causes such as Animal Welfare Societies. The repetition however and the more than necessary length of the article is a factor that can make readers lose their attention to the topic in hand.
In her text ''Is the Internet Giving Rise to New Forums of Altruism'', Dana Klisanin discusses how altruism can appear through the web. She shows that the positive emotions expressed by it are strongly linked to closer relationships and a better sense of community. In addition, ''Digital Altruism'' turns out to be one of the most important things we can do to improve social connections and increase our happiness. Although her ideas are very interesting, the text is a bit long and boring.
When I first started reading, especially from the title itself, I thought it was going to be a very boring topic and the usual topic trying to prove how internet can be beneficial. However, I did not realize that there is such a side of altruism through the internet. This is a new topic that very few have heard about and it is important for us internet users to be aware about.
First of all, this article is a pretty modern one which is related to our daily technological-cyber lives, and thus connects to us faster.
