In the growing electracy visual images will become prevalent. Ulmer posits the “juxtaposition of documents from two domains” will forge “human sensory [to do] its rest.” With the pervasiveness of mediation of images in our society , it is certain to state that the placement of images effects the interpretation. Ulmer later reiterates, “If a correspondence exists, the feeling occurs as an event.” Thus the product of correlated images can enact a sense of realism. Ulmer’s analysis presents an inevitable danger that will occur within electracy. Since we are taught to read words in coherency, we attribute these measures to analyzing images.
Ulmer posits that in electracy we must learn how to re write images, especially events of disaster and commemoration. Through Memorial will take a disaster as a “guide to the egent’s own experience, to reveal in it this ATH already at work.” This alerts and achieves an emergent self-consciousness in a group.
Learning electracy is crucial to the ability to challenge infrans (representation or figuration) and the simulacrum of images that emerge from a transversal message. Ulmer uses the murders of children lend themselves to resoneon (both the sizzle and the stake). Part of the purpose of this “mediation is to consider the modality of de-consulting.” Ulemer later posits that it is our responsibility or “agency” in individuals and collective identities to categorize images.

Adam-
I understand your comments and am sorry for offending you. That is the last thing I was trying to do and that's why I was so skeptical of writing that to begin with. I did some revising because I understand why it seemed offensive. I should have reread that paragraph more because of it's wording. When I said 'illegals' I was talking about anyone that doesn't work hard to make their lives successful and then expects the government to help them. I should never have said 'illegals' because there are many citizens that do the same. There are many, many families that are exceptions and have made it work for themselves. Yours and mine included. However, I simply chose to talk about immigrants without thinking because I work for an insurance company and the number of problems I see with illegals is ridiculous. If they can't afford car/home insurance (I can barely get by myself so it's understandable) then they shouldn't be out there driving and being a danger to others until they are in a place to get basic insurance. They are taking advantage of all of us that work hard.
My best friend since junior high had immigrant parents. I spent more time with her and her family than I did my own. I HIGHLY respected her parents for working so hard to get where they are. It changed my entire perspective by knowing them and I believe God put them in my life for a reason. They had it better and made more money than my family did. And it's because of how hard they worked. I am sure your family was the same way: working hard and highly respected. These familes were not who I was referring to. There are many people (not just immigrants) that chose to do nothing and get rewarded for it. I am sorry for stereotyping before, because like your family and my friends', there are many exceptions.
You deserve everything you have going for you right now, I never meant to sound like you didn't. I know you work hard and that's great. I myself do not have the support of my parents for college and am thankful for the grants I receive, however I still rack up about $20,000 in loans a year. I am completely on my own.
Anyways, luckily for us, both candidates are offering healthcare plans so that is not the main issue I was writing about. That just happened to be the first. Feel free to discuss this more with me, I am always open to new information.
