End Notes

¹ See Lawrence and Giles (1998).

² In his Antidosis, Isocrates argues that prior reputation is more important than the content of the discourse. Isocrates notes that "for who does not know that words carry a greater conviction when spoken by men of good repute than when spoken by men who live under a cloud, and that the argument which is made by a man's life is of more weight than that which is furnished by words?" (278)

³ Zaleski (1997) explains the ways in which CMC influences a wide range of religions: Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism.
