Farewell the Tranquil Mind, Farewell Content, or Then Farewell Frost, and Welcome Heat!

Hehe, it's another pun... (These are both lines from Shakespeare; the first I made into a pun with "content," and in the second, I juxtaposed "heat" and "frost" because I'm headed back to the South after finishing exams!)

Although all four types of knowledge discussed in class- folk, oral, written, and print- have their own specialized uses in different areas, their uses today play a very different role than in the past. One's use has become very different from the others' in the modern age in terms of what knowledge it continues to preserve and deliver: oral knowledge has ceased to become an effective method of learning new knowledge but has instead taken the role of preserving past cultural knowledge.

Reviewing for the Salon

This post is to be my review for the in class salon described here.  As I study things out tonight, I will continually update this post.  I'm publishing it this way to make collaboration easier.  Any comments posted will be considered and I will update my post accordingly.

Pre-Salon Post

For our final exam, we're having a salon discussion. This is my pre-salon post covering topics from class in a note/list-like format.
