    While many are protesting Twitter's new censorship attempt, they are not seeing that it will actually help preserve freedom of speech in the US rather than censor it. The only countries that would be held to the certain censorships are ones that request it per religious, historical, or cultural reasons. So, freedom of speech on Twitter will be opened up in the US rather than restricted by the international growth.

    THe US government reiterates the importance of freedom of expression as well as the freedom of internet through the Twitter censor policy. While many see it as a bad move, many also see it as a good move to help make freedom of expression fair for all users. Until the policy takes effect, the government cannot see how it works, and decide how to take action, if at all.

    The article in the New York Times is about the censorship and the power the government has over what the people can type and say over any device. People can't even search the english word freedom in China on google. Since the events in Northern Africa and the Middle East it has tightened its filters and bans even more.

    A number of movements to legalize the use of marijuana have been gaining steam lately. There are places in California where it's already legal for medicinal purposes. Much of the American public now believes that the drug should be legalized (40 percent according to a Rasmussen International Poll) but others are still concerned about health damage and other adverse affects.

    This research presents a new twist in the argument over global warming and how we are responsible for the predicament that we are in today, as one international community. I believe that we need to start becoming more independent on our resources and need to reduce drastically on our outsourcing alternative fuel that we don't have, to use.
