Government CENSORSHIP

"More than what meets the eye"
Censorship
 
 

Censorship: is the suppression of speech or other public communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body

Personally, I believe in the extensive research i did about this topic. The governement really has complete controll over the universe and you have to watch what you say. An example that popped into my head immediately after hearing this topic was the whole problem with Julian Assange and "Wiki Leaks." This man Julian Assange spoke out against the U.S. Government exposing their coruptness and some potential future war tactics that he obtained from an inside source, but is not facing repercussions for doing so. I feel as though censorship happens whenever people succeed in imposing their personal political or moral values on others.

Post 2: WILD CARD (ANYTHING YOU WANT) ..


In the Western Pacific, south of Japan and north of New Guinea, and to the east of the Mariana Islands is the lowest elevation of the surface of the Earth's crust. Known as the Mariana Trench, the trench is nearly 1,580 miles deep. More men have walked on the Moon's surface than have visited the bottom. As of the time of writing (December 2009) only two men have visited the bottom, and that was back in 1960. Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard rode the bathyscape Trieste to the bottom, where they remained for 20 minutes.

GBU Of Social Media and Politics

Question - Post 4: EXPLAIN THE GOOD,BAD, AND THE UGLY (GBU) OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND POLITICS..

Post 4: The good of the social media is that we can stay updaated on current events around the world, and the good of politics is it keeps the world in order. The bad of social media is that it can easily the corrupt the younger generation. Also, politics can force someone to have an opinion that people may not want to have. The ugly of social media is that t can fill your head with lies, somethings that people read are completely false, there are things like cyberbullying that can even result in jail time. Politics as well has a ugly side, some poeple in the governement/politics themselves are corrupt.

Electronics? In Class? O_O


Blog Question- Should schools enable students to use their personal devices in the classroom?

  Yes, schools should enable students to use their personal devices
in school during school hours. The reason for me saying this is
simply because during school hours, family-related emergences
can take place and a celluar device is a lot more sufficient when
contacted their child to inform them of this emergency. Also, set aside
from cell phones, electronics such as ipads and things of that nature can
be very helpful for people who are better visual learners, and are better at
manually inserting information. With this being said, personal devices can
only be beneficial to students in highschool and college
