After doing research on the terms forgiveness,
reconciliation and revenge, I found different types of sites for each. I used
google and when I put in Forgiveness I found a few psychology sites, a doctor
site, and a couple of links to some music videos. It came up with about
55million results. Next I searched reconciliation and found, mostly sites
giving the definition of it. It came back with about 52million results. There
was also one movie hit site for it as well. The last term was revenge and that
came back with about 264million results.
Most of the sites were about the ABC sitcom show Revenge. There were some links to watch clips of the
show and just a bunch of sites about the show.
Revenge produced the most about of results. They were mostly about the
show instead of the term revenge. I think that if a person were to have
searched the term Revenge before the show first aired, then the results would
have been different and more results might have came back having to do with
what revenge is. Since that show is so popular, it makes sense that most of the
results were based on that show.
Hi Roro,
ReplyDeleteMy findings were very similar to yours and I found that while revenge had leaps and bounds more sites, it was a lot to do with a TV show (which made me feel at little better). I like your insight that if someone would have looked it up before the show the results would not have been much different than forgiveness and reconciliation (in terms of numbers). Sure, there are sights on how to seek revenge, but I think we're learning that that's not a way to resolve conflicts. We hope that we don't live in a world that is totally obsessed and focused on revenge, and not the other two terms. Thank you for your post.
I have to say that I found the same types of results. I found when I searched for reconciliation; I found some sites dealing with religion that I thought fit that term well. My results for forgiveness, reconciliation and revenge were very similar to yours. I as well found that when searching the term “revenge” that links dealing with the show came up. I even tried to look a couple pages in, hoping to find something other than the show. I like how you talked about what the results would have been before the show had aired. I agree that it would instead result in similar results as the other terms.
ReplyDeleteGreat Post!
