Recommended: Concerns about internet censorship

I will be reviewing the paper titled “China’s Control of the Web”, written by Cody Mullin. In this paper, Mullin looks at how China has managed to limit their citizen’s internet access. It no secret that China makes a huge effort to control what their citizens see and say on the internet. Mullin goes over the impact of The Golden Shield Project started by China in the late 1990s. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube were censored in order to control what gets posted on them. I was really interested in the number of internet users in China because it really gives a sense of how many people are affected by these rules. The fact that only .25% of China’s internet users use Facebook to show how little information from other countries they

In the article, “Is Google Making Us Stupid,” by Nicholas Carr, Carr claims that the internet changes how we think as humans and as a society. His claim comes from his observation that he was losing his capacity to read large amounts of text, after having been spoiled by the immediate nature of the internet. Though he seems to believe that the internet will negatively impact society, it is unclear what his intentions are. Whether he is trying to persuade us that the internet is negative or whether he is just trying to get us to think about the effects of the internet, Carr utilizes literary devices such as rhetorical appeals--ethos, logos, and pathos--and procatalepsis in his argument to effectively critique the internet. Carr starts off

“Is Google Making Us Stupid” is an article written by Nicholas Carr, where Carr tries to make the point that our ability to read books and other long pieces of information is being affected by the internet's ability to become our primary source of information. Carr States (2008) “ And what the net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation”(p.610).Even though the internet offers a highly efficiencient way of knowledge, it also melts our brain's ability to learn by experience.

Some people may believe that the internet is changing the world in a bad way. In the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” the author, Nicholas Carr, talks about how he believes that the internet could be taking over the world.

To some people, his argument could seem valid because almost everyone in today’s technological driven world look towards the internet and search engines like Google to answer their questions rather than trying to figure it out themselves and learning from their journey to find the answer.

With the world population being 7,259,902,243 people, a grossly huge amount of people use the Internet, the number being 3,366,261,156 people worldwide. That ends up being almost half of the population, the percentage being 46.4% I one hundred percent disagree with the “decision” of the government ridding of the Internet entirely, as if that isn't clear enough already. Though the government might find the termination of the Internet useful in some circumstances, I have no doubt that it may result in riots, violence, protests, and more in order to get it

A major problem that has dominated the world in today’s society is the development of mass media. The mass media is said, “to be divided into two types: print and broadcast,” but the advancement of the internet became problematic. The internet allows the public to view the news by providing information between the citizens, and government faster than any other source. Consequently, this resulted in the decline of newspapers while more people began reading online. The negative effect of the internet is described as, “a wild west atmosphere” in which individuals may post whatever they wish online, “without professional, organizational, or legal concerns about its source” (Janda, Berry, Goldman, Schildkraut, and Manna, 2017, 148).

There are so many counties that use strict censorship in their media. “Present-day examples include Russia as a territorially shrunken successor state to the former USSR, China and North Korea” (Höchli, 2010). Censorship in North Korea is known to be the most intense among the world. With a government such as theirs, they are able to take strict control over communications.
