paper 2 paragraph revision

We go about our day. We do things for ourselves, we better ourselves and we learn and gain knowledge and experience. We also care for others and raise families and live for others. These are small fundamental truths to humans. We are all individuals with motives and dreams and desires and goals, and yet the connection we have to one another as human to human is inexplicably powerful. The interactions we share we disasters occur are not taught, but they are present. It is through these extremes that we witness how close we are to one another despite our unique individuality. In this regard, there is such a thing as a shared, collective intelligence among the people that tethers these people to each other. Cathy Davidson, Steven Johnson and Jonathan Lethem's accounts of crowdsourcing, organized complexity and plagiarism in their respective works Project Classroom Makeover, The Myth of the Ant Queen, and The Ecstasy of Influence: A Plagiarism all share the common theme of explaining a different aspect of "collective intelligence" and the unique position it has in society, and the way it affects humans as a group, as a team and as connected beings.
