The book talks about how online communities can promote democracy and social justice on local and global scale. For example, during the Iraq War, political groups such as MoveOn and A.N.S.W.E.R used Internet to circulate antiwar information and promoted a global antiwar activities. The public demonstration of millions of people calling for peace on February15, 2003 awakened us to realize that the Internet has become a new tool for democracy.
The online community has enabled people who are interested in politics and culture to participate and exchange ideas. The development of this new media is reconfiguring politics and culture and promoting participatory democratic politics in everyday life.

Taketei, your summary proves you have identified the thesis of the writer and important supporting details. I am a little concerned though that parts of sentences are perhaps too close to the original text, and I need to encourage you to write more in your own words. Do you make make paraphrased notes in the margins?
