In Cynthia L. Self’s essay “lest we think the revolution is a revolution” I believe Self is saying that people believe technology can save us, and how we treat each other. Whether we are apart of some religion, sexuality, color of our skin, or gender. The reasons why people believe this is because technology has connected us all around the world and helped us to keep in contact and meet new people everyday. Then she goes on to tell her point of view that America is the land of opportunity but only for some people, by this she means Americans are self centered and only care about themselves. I believe this to be somewhat true. Also she talks about how America is completely based on gender roles, and how this is suppose to be the “melting pot” but how are we suppose to melt together as “one tribe” if still to this day we judge people by the color of their skin. Maybe what Self is saying is all one big generalization to some people but I agree with her. The times are changing America should change too.
