Media Ethics/Law

Please, Google, Stay In China

Google is considering pulling out of China due to China's Strict censorship laws. Google is fighting for the free flow of information to China, however China doesn't seem to be budging. I believe that even though China's laws have made it difficult for all of Google's users to have full access to their info, Google should find a way to compromise something with China so as not to lose China's assets to Google.

Propaganda Techniques




This Video was funded and approved by the US Department of Treasury in 1943. This Disney cartoon was to encourage every good American to do his "duty" and pay his taxes. Those who didn't wish to pay or didn't pay it gladly are characterized as friends of Hitler and enemies of liberty and democracy. The two messages were propaganda techniques because they used a kid's cartoon to send these messages.
