When we usually think of a definition, we think of a simple sentence that lets us know the meaning of the word but there is a lot more to a word than just 3 or 4 words that describe it. Take for example, "Starbucks", different people would tell you different things about Starbucks and in the end you would decide what that place or brand means to you. To some people, Starbucks is just an overprized coffee shop, for others Starbucks is a necessaty, for me, Starbucks is a nice little coffee shop where I can relax and sip some coffee while conversating with my friends or do my homework. However, I wrote a report on Starbucks and I can tell you that the Howard Schultz(Chief Executive), would define Starbucks as more than just a coffee shop. As you can see, defining something is much more than what you would find in Webster's dictionary, it's more about describing something based on your own experiences along with comparison and contrast. In this way writers share their perception of the world.
The article I have chosen is,"Trying to Find A Cry of Desperation Amid the FAcebook Drama". In this article the author identifies different ways in which FB might be more than just a social site. Face Book seems to be the place where most people will speak their mind and based on the research depression is increasing in adolecents and while most teenagers wont tell their parents what is going on in their lives they will post it on FB. Could Facebook be a tool to help others?
