new blog

Well when I visited my field site there was a lot going on. I had the opportunity to chat with some people, and ask them why they where trying to date online rather than meet people face to face, I also had the chance to just talk to people and get to know them better and other people got the chance to get to know me better as a person. I talked to people about certain things such as what they were looking for in that "special" person; and people got to know what i look for in my "special" person. It was just a good time for everybody. The way that people interact with each other is no different than the way you and I interact with our everyday friends. Like for instance people who want to get to know other people they look, or search, then they find a person they start a conversation and then either the other person wit either continue the conversation or they will just leave the conversation, and then close out the website. There really is not special terms that is being used, all it really is, is just a short hand of the English Lang. its almost just like text messaging. but other than that it is just a place where you can be yourself. somethings that i had questions about where why they were online instead being face to face.

questions

1. There is an ample amount of people for him to interview and to get information from, he can ask the people like why did they decide to join, and just find out lots of information.
2. In prison you have your hardcore thugs, and "killers," your "sharks, and your Minos." Also, you have those people who really have changed from the person that they were to the person there are now. Most of the time that is a positive change. On the other hand you have those who still tend to deviate from the rest of the others.
3. In prison your supposed to be hard and never show your emotions, or otherwise you will lose the respect from the other inmates. If you show emotion than you are looked at as a punk.
4.He gets the interviewer to be relaxed and just become comfortable and just be able to express themselves. They laugh, joke around and things of that nature but he still is able to come away with a good interview

I believe that this websites that I have listed above will help me in research by actually being able to interact with people who are online in search of a dating partner. The different websites, all pretty much have the same form of processing. They all ask the basic questions such as what do you do for a living, what you look for in the person that you are looking for. They also look for what kind of personality you have, and what kind of personality you would want your partner to have. They all just want you to try to be as specific as possible so that you can find that "special one."
