US+THEM: blog

Here is the link to the Us+THEM blog. I posted the rules and mission statement that I had at this point prepared.

I do not know how to add people on to the blog yet, so we can go over that in class so that everyone has access.
Also- A few questions that we need to discuss.
1. Should we instead have an abstract mark that would be shared and passed on too?
(Thank you Annie)
2. The concern with the use of iconography within the development of "US" and "THEM"?
(Thank you Ted)
3. Lastly, what is the meaning of the "+" sign?(Thank you Dylan and Dan)

I thought it was pretty decided upon in our discussion last week that any response in regards to the idea of US + THEM could be whatever is needed to be, so long as it's relatively positive and defined within the communities that the interpretation is effecting. The "+" sign reads as "and" or "plus", but what it means is any form of "action". What brings the individual, or group of individuals to react with communities and vice versa. What is that relationship? Does there need to be a better connection? ect.
What do you guys think?

Thanks!
