Salamis - “A Story of Stolen Salamis”
Davis writes, “In the article, the reporter called the stolen goods ‘sausages’. My son showed the article to his landlord, who hadn’t seen it. The landlord was interested and pleased that the magazine had seen fit to report the incident, but he added: ‘They weren’t sausages. They were salamis.” Salamis epitomize the repercussions of relativity. The landlord displays relativism based on his proclamation which settles that the article’s characterization of the goods is not absolute. He holds onto his relative characterization of the salamis. Although the author of the article regards the food as sausages, the landlord avers that they are salamis.
Online dating - “A Story Told to Me by a Friend”
Davis explicates, “A friend of mine told me a sad story the other day about a neighbour of hers. He had begun a correspondence with a stranger through an online dating service.” The dating service is a digitalized agent that acquaints the two men. Accordingly, it personifies the seamless digitalization of contemporary dating.
