Wise choices require effective thinking and effective thinking requires some prior knowledge. In the article “The civilized classroom in the era of the internet”, Dr. PM Forni states that in the last three generations there has been a decline in civility in classrooms, from primary school to university. A synonym for "civilization" is courtesy. Teachers and professors lost respect for their students and noticed undisciplined student behavior. This is the result of the new digital technology being developed. Because the Internet is available anytime, anywhere, Forni believes students feel that learning or paying attention in class is no longer critical to their education. To what extent are the author's writing strategies effective in arguing that the Internet has caused this deterioration of the relationship? More specifically, why are the organization of the article, the author's personal stories, and use of diction valuable to his or her point? I think the author's argument is convincing. Forni states in the first sentence that once upon a time "the profession of science rested on the firm foundation of the principle of authority" (Forni 15). The instructors had control over the entire class and could teach seamlessly without any problems arising from the students. This statement of fact can be supported not only by Forni himself, but also by anyone from the previous three generations. I asked my parents what the general class behavior was when they were still in school. Unlike today, my parents' classmates had patience and their teachers had authority. By starting the article with this statement, Forni effectively lays a solid foundation on which to build his thesis. In the next sentence the self...... in the center of the card...... also learns. Let it be known that knowledge leads to effective thinking, which leads to wise choices. Through the use of organization, personal stories, and diction, Forni successfully argues that the weakening of the relationship between teachers and students is the result of the Internet. By stating the problem and proposing a solution that teachers can use, telling stories that I can identify with and the choice of words, everything is effective in supporting his argument. Teachers who taught three generations ago probably had an easier time teaching than those who do so now. We all need to realize that there is incivility in classrooms and that we need to take care of it. I'm not saying that one hundred percent of students show disorderly behavior but let's rebuild and restore authority to teachers, at least until technology completely replaces school.
