When searching for the term “forgiveness” I found a lot of sites talking about forgiveness and how to forgive. A lot of links to videos and presentations came up as well. I did not find this to be surprising, I was expecting though to see some religious sites because religions are all about forgiveness.
When searching for the term “reconciliation” I found a lot of religion based sites. Besides religion focused sites, my results provided definitions for the term reconciliation. I was not surprised by these results either. I think reconciliation and forgiveness are more popular in a positive outlook.
When searching for the term “revenge” it was all television based. Since that show is popular, television sites were what came up the most. When I browsed through the millions of results, I found more and more sites dealing with revenge in television, movies, and video games. I was shocked that there were really no results for a definition or presentations about revenge like the other terms showed.
I was not surprised by the fact that the term revenge produced more sites than the other terms. Revenge is a word that is used by many television shows etc. It is a great word to use in entertainment because it keeps viewers interested. Forgiveness and reconciliation are words that are claiming and “boring” to viewers of television shows. When looking on the web, it proves that revenge is more popular because media wants it to be. When looking at the results for forgiveness and reconciliation, they were all based on the definition and the positive aspects of the term.
Results:
Forgiveness: 64,300,000
Reconciliation: 61,000,000
Revenge: 297,000,000
Ashley,
ReplyDeleteIn the beginning of your post you said you that you expected to find more religious websites when you searched for “forgiveness” but didn’t. When I searched “forgiveness” I found a ton of different types of sites, but only two religious related ones. I didn’t think it was that surprising because when I looked at the other sites that popped up, they were all very broad, but made complete sense. When I searched the term “revenge”, all I got was the TV series as well, which is very entertaining if I might add. Great post!
