The World Trade Center On The Wall Of A Chicken Slaughterhouse

1). List and explain one concept from each chapter reviewed and how they connect to the facts of this case.

In the book 1984, the government has control over all media “and so it was with every class of recorded fact, great or small. Everything faded away into a shadow-world in which, finally, even the date of the year had become uncertain” (Orwell 37). Due to the party’s restraint of all media, there are no actual certainty of written records. Without written records, no one knows if the government is being truthful about what has happened in the past. The citizens even question their memories and logic because there is no certainty of the past. Without records, the government can rearrange history however they please because there is no evidence to prove they are wrong. Similarly, in the article, “The Other Side Of the Great Firewall”, China has set up an immense system of “online censorship, commonly known as the Great Firewall, [which] blocks the populace from viewing material deemed dangerous to the state” (Beech etal 2). The chinese government has blocked the chinese citizens from being able to go on a variety of websites in order to protect China from western influences. Without certain websites, the government can regulate what their citizens can see and can hide what they don’t want their citizens to see. The citizens are being blocked from information that is considered dangerous to their government. The government continually will have total jurisdiction through the use of blocking websites

Freedom of speech can be exemplified in many different ways, some of which are not for everyone. "The Blackplague" is an amazing collection of the most disturbing images, texts, and videos imaginable. The home page of the site is a black screen with red writing bordered by skulls. The title of the page, "The Blackplague", is dripping with blood, bordered by upside down crosses, and there is an overall very sadistic theme to the page. The site’s objectives are stated on its home page, "The Blackplague", http://www.blackplague.org, and are summarized in this quote from that page, "We provide a voice for deserving individuals and asylum for incendiary ideas that would otherwise be at the mercy of censorship and suppression". From this home page a viewer has the options of multiple links. They can link to sites hosted by the Blackplague at Web Hosting Services, "Exodus", http://www.blackplague.org/host.htm, view pictures and videos at "The Snuff Archives", http://www.blackplague.org/snuff/index.htm, view writings at "Useful Text Files", http://www.blackplague.org/texts/texts.htm, and can email the site at admin@blackplague.org. All of which, except for emailing the site, are not for the weak of heart or stomach.

The 9/11 Memorial is one of the biggest man-made waterfalls in North America. The 9/11 looks like a square pool with another pool but smaller with water running down the walls, to make it a waterfall. There are two pools that look identical that are in the same spot where the towers were. The twin towers, and the memorial are in New York City. The walls of the pools are made out of black granite. Each pool is about an acre in size and holds up to 480,000 of recycled water. 9/11 Memorial is not only a beautiful pool itself but is also surrounded by trees.

So in the end, Thomas Aquinas and Rene Descartes both attempted to prove the existence of God, but they differ in respect to the different thought processes to obtain the existence of God. An still to this day both Philosophers are regarded as key factor in the world of philosophy and their arguments were so influential that they were able to land a spot in our textbook “THE GREAT CONVERSATION”. But thanks to these gentlemen and their contributions to their works were able

One 's surroundings ultimately impact their thought process and decisions. In order to spread ideas, people often look to the media. However, individuals ideas can only spread as long as freedom of expression is present and the element of fear is not. When individuals do not have this freedom or they have a fear of sharing their opinions, they filter or censor their work. The idea of censorship is a prominent element of today’s society and is apparent throughout history. Examples of censorship include the banning of books, movie ratings, music lyrics and governmental attempts to control the press and the media. Governments often use censorship with the goal of controlling the

The morning of September 11th, 2001 began like any other day for most Americans. All across the country, millions prepared for their commute to school or work, while aboard four doomed airliners, hundreds of passengers huddled in fear of nineteen now infamous hijackers. By the end of the day, thousands would be dead or missing and a country would be left reeling by the worst terror attack in world history. 9/11 is perhaps the most significant cultural and political event in the history of the United States of America, and anyone who was alive that day and old enough to remember the events as they took place can tell you about the utterly unique combination of fear, shock, and rage felt by every American as they watched two of the largest buildings in the world, symbols of New York City as recognizable as the Statue of Liberty itself, crumble into a heap of rumble on the streets of Manhattan. Yet, like with many events in human history that are almost too large or devastating to comprehend, it didn’t take long for some people to begin trying to make sense of what occurred by theorizing about government complacency or complicity in the attacks. These theories, often supported mostly by photos and video footage that is put forth as inconsistent with the official story, usually revolve around claims that the destruction wrought by the hijackers could not have been accomplished through plane crashes like the ones that occurred on 9/11. While sometimes compelling, these claims of

In Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, Faber explains to Guy Montag “If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.” Like Faber, the people of the Republic of Turkey have determined that the free speech limitations set in place by their country are harshly punishable if broken, especially those who publish their work on the internet. Studying data for journalism crime statistics, it is evident how ruthless journalistic prosecution can be. More importantly, Journalism without Walls affirms that two hundred and thirty-two Turkish journalistic arrests and prosecutions took place in 2012 alone, and another two hundred and eleven occurred in 2013. Fahrenheit 451 tells tales of firemen censoring the world

The articles I found related to the book because they were all about government censorship. For example, the one about Russia banning certain internet memes connected to the text in many ways. Books are banned in the novel because they promote ideas that the government does not want people to be exposed to. Russia banned memes making fun of authorities like Putin because they could encourage ideas that the Russian government does not want people to think, such as the idea that Putin is a bad president. A lot of the articles relate to the book because they do not want the people to see things that put the government in a bad light. For example, China banned the search result “Steamed bun Xi” because there was a protest group against the Chinese official after he was photographed eating steamed buns at a local restaurant.

This paper addresses whether we should censor or block access to websites with controversial material. It looks at the issue from several sides: The relevant US laws that are in place, how censorship is used at the university and corporate levels, how other countries are attempting censorship, and finally what I feel about the topic.

What event or day could change how the United States citizens go about their everyday activities? Life has not been the same after that fatal day in September of 2001. The day is known as 9/11. This attack may have knocked the United States down briefly, but it has caused us to stand stronger for the freedom that we cherish. You may expect terrorism to happen places like Pakistan, India, the Middle East or South American but not here on American soil. This is not the first time that the United States has been targeted for terrorism. The United States has been the target for terrorist attacks more than you know. 9/11 helps us to remember that the United States is vulnerable to attacks just like other countries. Could 9/11 have been prevented? Did government agencies share information freely? Some people think that if the different government agencies would have shared information instead of having barriers that this terrible event may not have happened.

As said, the author uses this book to talk about censorship in society, and also our reliance on technology. Censorship can be seen in the book just from

politics. The recent historiography of the incident provides us with a complex, evolving web of

I will begin by discussing the background behind the memorials and meaning. Further, my focus will be on their importance and locations, the notion of public memory, critics and relatives opinions, hoping this will provide us with a clear perception of 9/11 and the concept of memory and trauma.

The Chinese government had enforced these rules and regulations through blocking, filtering and shutting down Internet cafes. According to Amnesty International, the Chinese government routinely blocks news sites, especially those with dissident views or banned groups. Anniversary’s such as the 1989 pro-democracy protests are heavily guarded days that see increase Internet blocking. Internet blocking of major search gateways is also
