Class Highlights

One of the most interesting things I learned was that newspaper companies never say "Stop the presses." I figured before they would say it all the time to change something last minute. Another thing I found interesting was Hanifs power point presentation. His presentation gave a good idea on how censorship was in Iran. The last and most interesting thing I learned this quarter was from my own presentation and how internet piracy began and how it developed.

Books

If i have to list three books that influenced me it would definitely be harry potter, the bible and sadako and the thousand paper cranes. Harry Potter influenced me because I began reading it in elementary school. It was a adventure book that took me on a adventure all the way until high school. The bible was inflectional because my parents are Christian and I had to read it and thats about it. sadako and the thousand paper cranes was influential because this was the first non picture book that I have ever read.

Media Ethic/ Media Law

This case revolves around the show south park. The show recently censored anything that references Muhammad in any way due to the threats from a radical Islamic website. This is showing that the first amendment is being challenged, but unfortunately since this is techinically a case thats out of the united states juridiction due to it being a threat from outside the states the decision to censor southpark was left up to comedy central. After watching the videos for this clip its really hard to tell if it even refereed to the prophet Muhammad after all hes in  a bear suit.
