You might consider a political commentator, a sportswriter, a movie or music reviewer, or a columnist in a local publication.
p.163- Below you will find a paragraph written using Mark Bauerlein as a source. Read the paragraph, and then rewrite it so that it makes more effective use of the source.
Mark Bauerlein believes that the so-called Digital Revolution could jeopardize the "cultural and civic inheritance" that has made the United States a powerful democracy. He argues that teens and young adults "have grown up with more knowledge and information readily at hand, taken more classes, built their own Web sites, enjoyed more libraries, bookstores, and museums in their towns and cities," yet they are shallow thinkers who are more concerned about themselves than their society. They have a different social life and a different mental life as a result of their use of what he calls "digital tools." "Instead of opening young American minds to the stores of civilization and science and politics, technology has contracted their horizon to themselves, to the social scene around them." He is concerned that the consequences are more serious than just a generation of spoiled brats. He thinks this rising generation is camped in the desert of ignorance and instant gratification. "They have all the advantages of modernity and democracy, but when the gifts of life lead to social joys, not intellectual labor, the minds of the young plateau at age 18."
