Observation notes about what you did and what you gained from it:

I interviewed two Asians, one American and one Spanish. The American said that having SL relationship and RL relationship at the same time is OK. But the Spanish woman said that once she has relationship in RL, she will stop the relationship in SL.
What really surprised me is that we usually think Asians are more conservative, but the two Asians I interviewed have very open attitudes toward online relationships. I think this has something to do their age because both of them are very young. They can "update" and link their conceptions and attitudes with Western society by internet anytime and anywhere. I guess the stereotype is no longer suitable for this shifting era.

Final Project Progress Report 1


The reasons why you chose the topic:

After discussion, we chose the topic of "Relationship in SL." We want to interview some couples in SL, to see how they feel about online realtionship. We think the moral issues behind online realtionships is very worth thinking.

Monica wrote down some basic questions for the interveiw, and we discussed what should we add to the list, and the big direction of this interview.
