Relational or Causal Hypothesis? – Matei and Rokeach
In Matei and Ball-Rokeach’s “Belonging in Geographical, Ethnic, and Internet Spaces” (2002), which I liked, I am most struck at the end by my confusion over tension between the explicit and implicit nature of their hypothesis. Is it relational or causal? At the beginning, they state a relationship. At the end, they (implicitly, but clearly) [...]

I even keep the cellophane wrapping and the stupid protective tape. here’s a picture of one of the cds for proof. mix at mirror [...]
