I agree that this course is making me better at organizing my thoughts, and while I am not achieving the best grade I can since I’ve been procrastinating, I still feel like I’m on my way to becoming a better […]

I agree with you 100% when it comes to the quarantine, and staying home doing this class online is making me lazy. I feel like my potential isn’t being met since I’ve been slacking off. Nonetheless, you have given […]

Whenever I have to prepare myself to do written tasks/assignments I usually read the background information beforehand, and make sure I familiarize myself with whatever reading that has been given to me. After I […]

I really like how you brought up the fact that the introduction and conclusion are vital to an essay. I even find myself lacking in that department, but reading your response gave me a fresh outlook on how I […]

I agree with you, and when thinking about our topics we need to think about it as a whole rather than just a small piece. You can focus on just the group itself, but it would be a more rounded essay if it […]

While I do like the premise of the essay, and how it introduces a new aspect of a woman’s thoughts on her society and how she should behave in it, I found this essay lacked some credibility. I didn’t really pay […]

I feel like Incels have been divided into a spectrum in today’s age, we have the radicals on one side and the ones who just have anger about their features not being good enough for women. But when we have this […]

Milton Isaiah Rivera commented on the post, Response to "Our Incel Problem", on the site Writing for the Social Sciences – Online Hybrid 1 year, 5 months ago

I like how you mentioned the fact that these incels also have the same views of Western people, it is almost like they are putting a mirror on society, and their beliefs while also hyper exaggerating these views […]

While reading Beauchamp’s essay I noticed a big trend within the incel community, which is these men are unattractive, insecure, and bullied (she also notes that some of these men may have autism). These traits, i […]

Your research topic seems very interesting, especially since you are a soccer fan/player yourself so you will better understand the discussions within the hashtag. It’s very interesting, and intense when people […]

I really enjoyed reading your post, I think privilege is about exercising what you have gained through race/age/etc. and helping people who don’t have these privileges. I myself am a Bernie supporter, and have […]

For my fieldwork I chose a group of Satanists in a book club Facebook chat, I don’t know why I chose that group, but I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of Satanism because they don’t worship Satan rathe […]

Milton Isaiah Rivera commented on the post, "Out Patients" – Elise Wu, on the site Writing for the Social Sciences – Online Hybrid 1 year, 6 months ago

I agree with you, and I like the way she switches from subjective and objective in her essay so that she isn’t always talking about herself, but rather highlighting other people in this community.

Milton Isaiah Rivera commented on the post, "Out Patients", on the site Writing for the Social Sciences – Online Hybrid 1 year, 6 months ago

I like how you mentioned that what connected her to this essay was her own experience with FD, and not only did but how she walked away from this condition. Also, it is interesting that you spoke about people with […]

Milton Isaiah Rivera wrote a new post, Response to "Out Patients" by Elise Wu, on the site Writing for the Social Sciences – Online Hybrid 1 year, 6 months ago

While Ms. Wu was trying to find an online community that catered to her specific psychological disability, what she found was the people who were annoyed by these people with FD. When portraying this community she […]

I feel like your description is the perfect way to describe New Yorkers, everyone just does their own thing and tries to mind their business, unlike those small towns where they know each other’s names/age/etc. […]

Your observation was really interesting to read since I haven’t been “apocalypse shopping” myself, but now when I read/watch videos about these people with mass hysteria I can apply all dimensions. The security […]

Noticing how attitudes towards Asians have changed I decided to go to a place I have never been before: Chinatown. Specifically, I went to Columbus Park around 5 PM where I noticed I could find a seat with no […]

Milton Isaiah Rivera commented on the post, Discussion Post #2 – Hustlers, on the site Writing for the Social Sciences – Online Hybrid 1 year, 6 months ago

To add to what you’re saying it feels almost like Pressler is making the looks of these women vital to their jobs. Almost, as though if they weren’t attractive they wouldn’t have these jobs and they would instead […]
