2. Describe what the following image is about. (Provide two websites to support your findings)

This image depicts how youtube is banned in various countries by showing different cultures. It mainly shows China because of the Chinese flag and the Chinese man. China has banned Youtube due to a large amount of protesters from Tibet. The man in the image is the leader of the Tibetan Community.

The first website which shows this is http://www.boingboing.net/2008/03/16/tibet-china-blocks-y.html

This website shows a news report of the Chinese people blocking Youtube. The website shows the protest which was on the 16th of March. The reason that youtube was blocked was due to people posting videos of protests by the Tibetan people

The second website is almost the same but however is a bit more detailed. This site however talks about what kind of videos were posted. The videos posted contained montages of images, music and video.

4. Discuss how you would feel if the Australian Government Banned the Internet. What privileges would you lose?

If the internet was banned by the Australian Government I would not be able to talk to my friends which many people decide in the world is a complete waste of time. While many believe this, software such as Msn is helpful for people like me who’s team mates in debating have Msn. With Msn we can discuss topics for practice debates etc. For our group work as well it is very helpful. Another privilege which I would lose is an access to simple and easy information which makes it easier than going through a 10 000 page book. To be honest however I would be a fair bit dissapointed.
