    I am sorry about asking this question. I know that you explained the answer to this question in class. It’s just that Dropbox has a noticeable amount of features. To follow the instructions of the template and […]

    Introduction to Liberal Studies ["Oversharing"]

    1) On page 77, the following conversation occurs between Israel and Sheila Heti:

    SHEILA HETI: “He disagreed with me when I said you can love anyone.”

    ISRAEL: “No you can’t,” he said.  “It matters – the […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Revised Paper Topic: Oversharing and Cyber Bullying

    Hello. This sounds promising. Cyber-bullying and the idea of oversharing, in my opinion, are compatible because cyber-bullying, which can often elicit emotional responses, can be seen as a form of oversharing. […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Final Paper Topic

    “In an effort to associate this to the concept of oversharing, I also want to include how some of the events chronicled in the books do not necessarily need to be so vividly described by the author since we can […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Revised Paper Topic: Dyslexia and Oversharing

    I’m not sure if this advice is relevant, but I think that your paper must not only posit a connection between dyslexia and oversharing but also focus on a ‘range of reactions’ (both positive and negative) that […]

    Just a few possible ideas.

    1) Dr. Hintz, I do know that you said that you wanted the class to try to stay away from fiction. I feel a little ashamed to have heard of the following book I’m going to mention, […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Final Paper Topic

    I do think that Edward Snowden probably has more to do with the “oversharing” topic than the other two figures mentioned. I believe that the Edward Snowden topic also relates to the tension that exists between […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Paper Topic: "Let's Talk About Sex"

    Hi. I’d imagine that this is a very complicated topic because it takes into account so many different views, opinions, experiences, etc. It also takes into account epistemological questions about sexual morality […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, paper idea

    I think I asked a question in class about the relationship between violence and oversharing. I remember that the violent act needs to be talked about. I also think I remember hearing that the more graphic the […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Proposed Paper Topic, Two Ideas

    Your Maxine Hong Kingston book seems to relate the most to ‘oversharing.’ Perhaps you can write a paper about how the reception of her work upset mainstream American sensibilities. Due to the fact that her book […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Proposal

    Just some thoughts. The topic of oversharing probably has more to do with the primary voice than the secondary voice. The primary voice pertains more to communication with other people, whereas the secondary […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Some paper proposals

    This is just my opinion. The first topic seems to be more viable. There seems to be a more delineated difference between those who share and those who undershare. Also, I’d imagine that there would be a good […]

    The following comments are just based on my perceptions. Out of the three topics you mentioned, it seems that the second topic has the most to do with oversharing. Your first and third topics seem to be […]

    Introduction to Liberal Studies ["Oversharing"]

    Hi.  In light of the readings concerning Facebook and the split between offline and online selves, I think that it would be a good idea to suggest a book that may help us ‘theorize’ our understanding of how social […]

    One topic I’m thinking about is candor in communication; this article is related to that theme. Thank you!

    Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t think I have that much experience with Thematically-driven, academic work. Out of all the topics you discussed, the one that resonates with me most is the one that you mentioned concerning […]

    John Paul Varacalli commented on the post, Proposed paper topic: French deficits and their effects

    If I refined my thesis question to “How did the financial burden during Pre-Revolutionary France affect the French people emotionally?,” do you think I could have a more workable research question?

    Hello.  A paper topic I am interested in pertains to the deficit ancien regime France incurred before the French Revolution.  For instance, I know that the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) between France and Great […]
