In this post I will compare my own cultural bias to that of the rhetorical situation that I am focusing on for Project 2.
1. As the article is pertaining to the safety of America, I share much of the influence, especially relating to the safety of American citizens. Although the 'internet culture' that also overlaps with the issue is another culture that is relevant to the rhetorical situation in a vastly different way. Personally as somebody who spends time on the internet, I find that I share more with this culture that is technically related.
2. I share the belief that we need to keep America safe, but it is difficult to look anywhere but internally when regarding internet and information security. Though this is not necessarily a dissenting opinion to many Americans.
3. This is written within the American culture, so this question does not entirely apply.
4. This is written within the year, so this also does not apply. And while nature of informational attacks between governments have changed over the years, it is not a new concept.
I see what you mean with your focus on the commonality shared by all Americans, and the unique cultural aspects which unite us. I had been looking more at our culture as being fragmented, with individuals' cultural identities defined by much more than just American, though I may have been too focused on what divides us rather than unites.
