When it comes to the topic of identity kit, Gee mentions that one’s own identity kit gives “Instruction on how to act and talk… to take on a particular

a part of the military and become identifiable to civilian as military? It is through enculturation. Gee says “… enculturation, involves a mixture of acquisition and learning. However, the balance between the two can be quite different in different cases and at different stages in the process” (20). Now before I continue I must explain acquisition and learning the two term within Gee’s definition of enculturation. Gee says acquisition is gaining knowledge subconsciously through exposure to models

When I was younger, I was infamous. My teachers and peers characterized me as manipulative, and indeed I had a powerful ability to exploit those around me in order to get what I want. Over the years I have been less inclined to use this ability to persuade others. Through a series of learning experiences, I have found that manipulating people never yields positive results.

culture. A few basic components of culture are cognitive process, behavior, and material creations. Cognitive processes are the basic outline or ground work by which people think, reason, and give value.

Before proceeding in discussing the hypothesis on the Song’s development as somewhat analogous to the “shared internet”, I will discuss first recent scholarship that validates the poetic and rhetorical aspects of the Song s rooted from the oral tradition. Greek manuscripts provide special formatting for the Song such that verse lines are “graphically displayed.” Masoretic codices provide extensive notes for accentuations and cantillation for the Song. Although, Masoretic manuscripts do not provide
