Blog Assignment #8

I believe Zhu uses the definitional, and evaluation and ethical claim for his essay. I believe his thesis is stated when he says, “I hope that my research will serve to dismiss these popular misconceptions about the hacker subculture, and provide background for a greater understanding of the role hackers play in cyberspace and society at large.” (Zhu 137) I believe this is the thesis because he goes on to talking about the background of hackers and when they first began to be known. It is an evaluation and ethical claim because the essay discusses their roles and goes on to given names to each group within the subculture.
