Internet Regulation

I feel as though the governemtn is too strict on the way it regulates the media. Sure regulation is a good thing when it comes dealing with things that young children should not see, but adults own the right to watch whatever they please, without the government having anything to say. There should be restrictions on somethings like adult websites and websites that children should not see.
Reefer Maddess proved that what we see in the media and on the internet is not always democratic. The government shows us what they want us to see. When it comes to large audiences the government will show only what will not corrupt. If the internet were to become a severly regulated by the government i think it would become very boring and not many people would use it any more. To me it seems as if the government controls everything, if they took over the internet than it would lose alot of its popularity, because the internet is where alot of people expres themselves.

Consumer Citizenship

Being a Student- Athlete, I dont really think i contribute to the economy. When I do buy its nothing major, just things I want I have always been able to save money, but this summer I spent alot on vacations and things just things i wanted.

Ive never had a car, so i used my dads car. My mother pays my phone bill. Track pays for school so I really dont have alot of bills or anything. Anything I own I eiether recieved as a gift or bought when I had the money. But I am not a major player in the ecnomy, I dont spend enough.

Favorite Website

My favorite website is undoubtly ESPN.com. I also get on facebok alot, but more than anything im on ESPN. It is my homepage and everything. Sure I use facebook just like everyone else, but i love sports and ESPN is the quickest way to get my fix. My sports teams are The Redskins and the Wizards. ESPN. com gets me the information i need.

ESPN gives the sports information, that people need or want. ESPN gives constant updates on the daily sporting news. I believe this is very important because people do not know what is going on behind the scenes. But what happens behind the scenes is very important to what fans should know about their teams.

ESPN is a great site, and i love how the updates are in line with what is new. And it keeps me up to date on my Redskins so I love it!
