For my cultural artifact I researched "Stop Online Piracy" Act, also known as SOPA. I felt that this was a cultural artifact because it effected our world and it something that is still going to be present. My research process for this was I used two websites LexisNexis Academic and Proquest. I was limited in my research because this is such a current event topic and became relevant a month ago. These two websites allowed me to search for articles relevant to SOPA in magazines and newspapers.
I really liked how Barb showed us how to use the subtitles and how they lead your paper, those are really helpful and I'm sure I will use those in the future. I set up my paper by presenting a world where there was no freedom of speech. Then for my supporting paragraphs I spoke about the Pros and Cons of Sopa. And for my final paragraphs I wrote about how SOPA will effect me. I enjoyed writing this paper because this topic is so new and relevant and applies to my life.
