Inquiry@Queen's Undergraduate Conference 2009: Sin And WikipediaCeline Song
Presented in 2009 at http://www.iatq.ca/
Using French philosopher Gabriel Marcel's influential work on technology as a jumping point, this paper takes a critical look at the nature and power of 21st century's major technique of mass communication. Marcel discusses the topic in his book Man and Mass Society using the time-sensitive example about radios, used as a major means to propaganda and human degradation back in WWII. But what would he say about internet in the 21st century?
Mass media is so powerful in Marcel's opinion that it "usurps a prerogative which looks like a distorted analogue, a caricature, of divine omnipresence". Although Marcel's worry about communication technique that "what starts off as a collection of means […] become the centre, the focus, of an obsessive cult" is a valid one, internet's problem of "too much information" and its innate interactivity are effective antidotes to many of such dangers. The impossibility of propaganda in the 21st century, the active membership and impotence of an individual internet user, and the non-uniformity of internet are also discussed in depth.

The Fascinating World of Bats: Unveiling the Secrets of the Night
Bats, the mysterious creatures of the night, have long been a source of fascination and fear for humans. With their eerie squeaks and fluttering wings, they have captured our imagination and sparked our curiosity. Yet, beyond the myths and legends, bats are fascinating creatures that play a vital role in our ecosystem.
There are over 1,300 species of bats, ranging from the tiny Kitti's hog-nosed bat to the majestic flying foxes. These winged mammals are found in almost every corner of the globe, from the scorching deserts to the lush rainforests. Their diversity is a testament to their adaptability and resilience.
Bats are insectivores, feeding on a vast array of insects, from mosquitoes to beetles. A single bat can consume up to 1,200 insects in an hour, making them a crucial part of our pest control system. By preying on insects that damage crops, bats save the agricultural industry billions of dollars each year.
But bats are not just useful; they are also fascinating creatures. Their ability to fly in complete darkness, using echolocation to navigate and hunt, is a remarkable feat of evolution. They are also social animals, living in colonies and communicating with each other through a complex system of calls and body language.
Despite their importance, bats face numerous threats, from habitat destruction to climate change. Many species are endangered, and conservation efforts are necessary to protect these magnificent creatures.
In conclusion, bats are more than just creatures of the night; they are a vital part of our ecosystem, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of nature. By learning more about these fascinating animals, we can appreciate their importance and work to protect them for generations to come. So, let us embrace the beauty and mystery of bats, and celebrate their unique place in our world.

7. How I Represented The Social Group
Through My Mode Of Address.
• This was difficult as there is not much slang related to rock
music. But I frequently used the words that there are.
• Like ‘gigs’. Most people refer to them as concerts, but
amongst rock fans they are typically known as gigs, however it
is not specific to rock fans, other people say it too.
• Another word I used, however only once, is ‘Riff’, which is a
repeated section of a song played on guitar, or bass.
