Second Life

This project was really interesting, I never knew that websites like this existed. Its cool that you can talk to people all over the world and not be in an AOL chat room. At first it was really confusing on how to get it started and than I had a problem downloading it. But when I finally got the hang of it I started to enjoy it.

While I was on the website I got the chance to talk to several people. All together I talked to about seven people. It was some what hard because not everyone spoke English. But I got that chance to chat with people from all over the world like England, Belgium, Brazil, Turkey and more.

The first person that I talked to was from England her name was Lexie Heslop. She was religious but didn't go to church often although she was raised Christian. She never considered switching religions, however at the same time she was open minded and willing to learning about other religions.


The second person I interviewed was from Belgium and his name was Samy Pimazzo, he was 27 and was a spiritual person. He said living over there is very different and that has a lot to do with why he’s not religious but he didn’t go into detail. He also said that people imagine God and that Gods not real.

The third and final person I chatted with was from Brazil and her name was Monigue Rieko and she was also a spiritual person. She said that religion is not a good thing where she comes from. But as far as her opinion it was up to the person and where in Brazil they came from along with how they felt and the way they were raised. She also mentioned that she was dating someone that was really religious and that she was open to it.

As much as I enjoyed this assignment it was quite difficult to talk to people that dint speak English, and also at the same time not really interested in what I was trying to do. I also ran into someone, I don’t remember where they were from and they asked me where I was from and when I told them the US the said “Twin Towers….haha” which got me mad, but there was nothing I could really do about it. But other than that I liked it a lot.
