Blogs breed western corruption
Yesterday, Philip, one of our student assistants pointed me to an interesting article on ars.technica
Excerpts from the article….
The youth of Iran are out of control. The last week has seen portions of the under-25 population publicly demanding democratic style reforms of the conservative Islamic government,
As globalism seeps into the Middle East, a net boom has caught Iranian officials off guard with growth of 90% from last year. The result follows Hannibal’s increased obsession with Blogging as 20,000 logs have sprung up among the Iranian youth yearning for a voice in the repressive region.
In a society which heavily dictates personal behavior, the youth are finding the internet to be their last hope for free and open communication. Which is why it must be stopped. According to Reuters, the conservative regime has already begun arresting bloggers, filtering some 100,000 porn sites and a good 200 Iranian pages, while strict legislation is expected to eliminate this new threat from the West.
We’re all working hard to give our students voices to help them write and think critically. These youth are having to fight hard to even have a voice.
