Alone Together Assignment
Sherry Turkle
For this assignment, you are asked to put all the skills you have acquired this semester to use in an analysis of Sherry Turkle’s Alone Together. Turkle’s text is broken into two parts, with the first part discussing how robots (in any number of forms) are increasingly becoming part of our world and the impact this is having on our society. Part two deals with how our reliance on technology is increasingly stifling our communication and affecting our socialization skills and making us more isolated.
• You will need to read the introduction of Turkle’s text and read part two of this text (though part one is pretty interesting if you have the time and want a more comprehensive look at what Turkle has to say).
• Provide a Rhetorical (TRACE) analysis of the work overall.
• Take any chapter out of part two and do a Toulmin analysis, identifying the main and sub-claims of this chapter and the evidence (proofs) used to support these claims. Are these claims and the evidence valid? Are there any fallacies? Make sure you provide commentary on these things.
