The major point of the podcast about Summer Camp is that some people really never understand the true meaning and emotional attachment to things they have not tried. This shows how camp members have such an connection with camp, while non camp member believe that there is nothing special about it. The major focus of Becoming Batman is the expectations people have around us and how they can influence us. 

I believe you have chosen these podcast to show how no one will ever really understand what we believe unless they try it for themselves or trust our word of mouth. I  think that will these podcasts it shows how our writing and groups we are choosing to write about for our next project can all be different. I think that this shows us that we need to go very in depth about what we are trying to say so it helps the reader feel like they know exactly the point we are trying to get across. 

I think we hear from more of the subjects being interviewed because they talk more about what is happening from the inside. I think that people don't really hear one another out as much as they used to, and that others focus more on themselves and what they want to heat. We also hear the people themselves talk about their experiences that help the listener get more connected with the story. We can feel their true emption by what they are saying and how they are experiencing it.

I think that theses podcast are more organized by theme. I think this because it goes in depth about their experiences not the authors. Both pieces have a theme that they stick to throughout their story. They show emotion into what they are doing and how they do it. I think they are organized this way to show the listener a personally stand point into their augments. I think that with the things going on many people understand the personal level better then the journalist level. It is easier for a male/female to reflect on a personal stand rather than a second hand personally connection.

The ideas that intrigued me the most were the misunderstanding between camp people and non camp people. This stuck in my head because you got to hear first time form the camp people. Also, I found it very interesting how much people rely on the expectations of someone else and how expectations can so strongly influence us. 
The group I plan on studying is the Greek life at UNL. I plan on studying the Greek life because I have gotten to know a lot of them over my past year at Lincoln. I have come to notice how into their smart phones they have become, and how much they rely on them for communication. I can see that this group would be a good group to study because of how close they all are, and yet how much communication they have with one another through their smart phones. 

I plan on going about studying them by asking questions about how they use their phones. I would like to see how often they use their phones to communicate with each other rather the face-to-face. I would also like to see what role does social media have on their lives and ho it influences them. I am curious to see what their answers are about how they use their smart phones beneficially rather then a distraction. I would also like to know how long they could go without having their phones or are they too emotionally attached to it. 

They would help me tremendously on shedding light on my critical question because they would show me how much more technological interactions they have over physical interactions. I would like to see what kinds of apps help them communicate as a whole group and how they would prefer communicating with one another.
