X socializing On the Internet

àSelf-centered communication here does not mean egoistic. It helps us understand ourselves better and thus helps us be more understandable for others in further interactions.
When you surf the Internet and read different materials there you do communicate. However this sort of communication does not make you heard – it's a kind of self-centeredà communication. In order to be a part of the Internet community you should initiate discussions and respond to other people's texts. This sort of communication is calledsocializing. On the Internet you can socialize on behalf of a different person … well, if you are capable to inscribe into your texts certain social and personal characteristics of that “different” person, of course. Would you like to try?

· you are a teenage girl, suffering from overweight and lack of friends, you read a lot and collect stickers … (invent other personal details)

you are a mum of a drug-addict who is 16, you have organized an Internet club for the youngsters with similar problems and their parents, you look for supporters …(invent other personal details)

 Interpreting and resuming

à Statistics are a rock band from Omaha, Nebraska. It was formed in 2003 by Denver Dalley, formerly of rock band Desaparecidos. They are on the Jade Tree Records label.
Up to now you have been collecting and organizing ideas about those problematic situations that a young person faces in today's multicultural world. You have also been gathering your personal vocabulary that can help in communicating your ideas. One more thing that you tried was deciphering and inscribing certain personalities out of and into texts. Let's use your gained skills and elaborated materials in a Focus Group Discussion of the music video to the song “Nobody Knows Your Name” by a rock band Statisticsà.

Nobody Knows Your Name Your eyes always look towards the ground Your ears seem to follow the sounds And nobody knows your name And nobody knows your name Your hands hold each other so tight They break to push the hair away from your eyes And nobody knows your name And nobody knows your name Your lips part to drink a little more Your eyelashes wish their way to the floor And nobody knows your name And nobody knows your name
