Abstract
This paper discusses the plan of the Canadian government to encourage more freedom around the world by thwarting the efforts of certain foreign governments to monitor what people do online. It discusses the pros and cons of such a plan to the world as a whole and to Canadian relations in particular, in terms of possible retaliation by these foreign governments, not just on the Internet but in trade and other commerce between nations.
From the Paper
"Canada has had several disputes with the United States in recent years, though overall relations remain good. The Iraq war proved to be a point of contention and "revealed differences in the manner in which the two states believe that force can be used to resolve conflicts" (Richter para. 1). The move under consideration could also become a point of contention, and this aspect should be examined closely because it could be even more harmful if it generates concerted opposition from those governments seeing the west as invading their rights. Essentially, the proposed program would be contentious and may not have the desired effect in any case, so it should not be pursued."

The Internet and Freedom of Expression, 2002.
Argues that the Information Age has not really altered the fundamental issues surrounding freedom of speech and censorship.

Abstract
The computer age has produced renewed debate pertaining to questions of freedom and speech, as opposed to censorship. This discussion ventures to explain how the advent of the so-called Information Age does not really alter the dynamics of a longstanding question, or rather a set of questions, that have been basic to political theory among other of the social sciences. Two articles selected from The Canadian Review of Sociology and Anthropology, on radically different topics, help to reveal certain approaches to all questions of communications, the media, and the 'post-modern' age, within academic research. These materials are examined en route to sections that focus directly on issues of the internet and freedom of expression.

Abstract
This undergraduate paper is an examination of the argument over regulation of the Internet. On one hand, there is the point of view that the Internet is a breeding ground for criminal and immoral behavior. On the other, there is the argument that controls would be the same as a limitation of free speech. The paper concludes that, ultimately, controls will be placed upon the Internet and that, hopefully, they will be rational and well thought out.

Abstract
This paper examines the thesis that the government is playing a wild card in its attempt to censor the Internet. It discusses several laws and examines how public libraries who do not censor the Internet can suffer funding losses.
From the Paper
"In Antigone, Sophocles wrote, "There is nothing in the world so demoralizing as money." Today's society revolves around money. Without money, no person, organization, corporation, or entity can function. It is well known that in the hands of the government, when push comes to shove, money pushes, money shoves, and, more often than not, money prevails. In other words, if the government wants something done, money is the wild card. The issue of Internet censorship is no different. For years, the United States government has pushed to place censors on the Internet. After having censorship legislation stuck down by the Supreme Court, the government turned its attention to censorship of the Internet in public libraries and public schools. In recent months, the issue of censorship of the Internet in public libraries and public schools has reached a boiling point. When closely studied, it is obvious that the government has chosen to pursue censorship within libraries and public schools because all other censorship avenues have been blocked. Furthermore, it is also obvious that the government is playing their wild card in their attempt to censor, essentially backing libraries into a comer with legislation that denies public libraries and schools significant amounts of governmental funding if Internet censorship guidelines are not followed. Because the issue of Internet censorship centers on the First Amendment, it is important to understand exactly what the freedom of speech guarantees United States citizens. Since its inception, the First Amendment's guarantee of the freedom of speech has plagued all forms of."

Terrorists or Freedom Fighters - A Decision of Perception. Terrorists or Freedom Fighters?, 2002.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This is a question of perspective and of side. Depending upon the side you find yourself upon, your ideology, and your religion, determining who is fighting for the greater good and who is simply a terrorist is an impossibility of perception. Culturally, there is a great deal of support for freedom fighters. They are associated with the development of anti-oppression movements that we most closely associate with the American Revolution. To the British, the Boston Massacre was the suppression of terrorists, to the Americans, it was the massacre of innocents seeking nothing more than personal and communal freedom. This is how the world perceives Afghanis, members of Al Qaeda, and the combatants in Chechnya - as either terrorists or freedom fighters. It is the purpose of this paper to examine differences in perspectives on terrorism and how each group is perceived.

Internet Regulation, 2002.
An argument against regulation of the Internet by the U.S. government.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper aims to prove that the U.S. government should not regulate the Internet. It shows how the government has used a number of reasons to support its quest for regulation, such as protecting children, yet it has ignored the fact that there are other methods to control harmful and illegal material online without hindering the Internet's growth and capabilities. It examines how the Internet is currently a major example of the First Amendment: freedom of speech and how on the Internet, people can say whatever they want without consequence. It attempts to assess how it would be impossible for any single government or nation to completely regulate the internet, because by nature, the Internet is resistant to control and regulation.
From the Paper
"The government claims that the Internet should be regulated because pornographic and hate sites need to be controlled. However, these sites are only a very small part of the Internet. In addition, there are already existing laws throughout the world that regulate these sites, enabling authorities to track, investigate, arrest and convict parties engaging in illegal Internet activities, including credit fraud, hacking, pedophilia and more (117).
Government regulation, such as blocking Web sites from harmful or illegal content is a drastic and unnecessary measure that does solve the problems presented by the Internet. Even if the regulation were successful, it would be impossible to solve the problem of sites outside the U.S. The government still continue to argues that this regulation is necessary, particularly to protect the children."

Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of freedom of speech. Specifically, it examines the question of whether freedom of speech should be abridged in order to protect children from pornography on the internet. The paper contends that internet pornography should not be a free speech issue, but rather a parenting and control issue.
From the Paper
"Many people in America that their right to free speech for granted. However, the people who founded our country fought for this right, among many others, and it is one of the most important and valuable rights we enjoy as a country. In fact, it was the first freedom mentioned in the Amendments to the Constitution (Editors). Unfortunately, freedom of speech is also one of the most hotly debated freedoms in many areas, because some people believe that some forms of speech and/or public display are not appropriate. Internet pornography is one of these areas, because it is so controversial, and because children can see pornography, anyone can if they know where to look online."

Freedom of Speech, 2006.

Abstract
The paper discusses freedom of speech in the American and the Mexican systems in light of the fact that the two countries are growing closer together in trade. The paper states that American individuals and businessmen need to understand the differences in the laws and customs on freedom of speech, as well as other cultural and legal differences between the two countries, in order to understand the meaning of actions and statements made by Mexican leaders. Examining the issue of freedom of speech in Mexico as compared to the U.S. can illustrate the differences and some of the reasons for those differences. The paper concludes that both systems are protected and neither can be seen as perfect in the degree to which it protects these freedoms. The Mexican government wants to be represented well in American thinking and to work with the American government for an improved economic situation for Mexico. Freedom of expression has been guaranteed by the Mexican Constitution, and now that promise has to be strengthened in order to assure that it is maintained.

Freedom of Expression
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The United States has a long tradition of political freedom, while Mexico does not. The United States as a nation is more than 225 years old, while Mexico as a nation is a little more than a century old. The United States emerged from its Revolution as a country with a new form of government, one crated as a counter to the kind of rigid and hierarchical society the settlers had known in Europe. In the U.S., freedom of speech is divided into freedom of speech and freedom of the press as related concepts differentiated largely by whether the expression is written in a publication or expressed verbally or through actions (in some cases). Case law has established both these types of expression as fundamental rights based on their inclusion in the Bill of Rights in the First Amendment."

Academic Freedom, 2004.
This paper examines the concept of academic freedom and its history and contrasts the ideal of academic freedom with the social, cultural, and economic constraints that are regularly placed upon the faculty.

Abstract
This paper explains that academic freedom is the concept that faculty, and in some cases, students, should be able to study, write, and publish the truth as they see it, free of doctrinal interference from the administration, the church, the corporation, or the state. The author points out that the concept of academic freedom, which is more prevalent at Western colleges and universities, has its roots in the 17th century, the beginning of the modern era. The paper relates that the power of alumni to shift the direction of a university tends to be limited because most alumni do not have sufficient money to make much of a difference, but this cannot be said for corporations, such as drug companies, which often have almost inconceivably large amounts of money and clearly focused needs and desires.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The development of a more fully modern concept of academic freedom came about in the 17th century not because of the work or writings of academics themselves but rather through the work of scholars such as John Locke and Thomas Hobbes. Locke and Hobbes were not in fact particularly interested in the rights of university faculty per se; they were, however, interested in the rights of all members of a society to certain basic freedoms. Their arguments about liberty and individual rights helped to define the era of the rise of modern democracies, one element of which has been the university that is freed from the church."

Religious Thinkers and the Treatment of Freedom, 2006.
A discussion regarding Kierkegaard, Nietzsche & Dostoevsky, and their interpretation of the relationship between religion and freedom.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses Friedrich Nietzsche, Soren Kierkegaard, and Fyodor Dostoevsky, who were all for all intents and purposes religious thinkers in a manner of speaking; no less importantly, they were religious thinkers who also placed a great deal of emphasis upon human freedom. The paper will examines the relationship between the faith which animates the writings of these individuals and the heavy emphasis each man places upon freedom. In conclusion, this paper contends that Nietzsche's view of what constitutes freedom is not genuine freedom at all because it makes no allowance for the fact that mental and spiritual freedom (the sort of freedom brought about by peace of mind and by spiritual contentment) is just as important as any other form of freedom, emphasizing the satiation of the physical senses.

Abstract
This research paper argues that the U.S. government should not regulate the Internet. One important reason is that it would go against the nations' right to freedom of speech. The government has used a number of reasons to support its quest for regulation, such as protecting children, yet it has ignored the fact that there are other methods to control harmful and illegal material online without hindering the Internet's growth and capabilities. This paper shows that it would be impossible for any single government or nation to completely regulate the Internet, because by nature, the internet is resistant to control and regulation.

Internet Gambling, 2008.
Evaluates the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.
1,635 words (approx. 6.5 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 53.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006, which was intended to create regulations for Internet gambling and prevent money laundering and fraud from occurring online, ultimately adversely impacted the rights and freedoms of Americans, other nations and business entities. The paper clarifies the legalities, ethics and social responsibility of this act and points out the sanctions that were allowed by nations through the World Trade Organization against the United States because of the law. The author concludes that, since the law has been determined to be unjust, it is the ethical obligation of the U.S. to abolish the law and create new legislation, which will not hinder the rights and freedoms of stakeholders.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Nevertheless, as time progressed, Rose (2000) discussed that most nations were hesitant to control Internet gambling because it required an intricate examination of the laws where the gambling originated, the multiple server locations that were involved in the gambling activity and the laws regarding gambling in the country where the betting took place. Rose (2000) stated that, in the United States, several pieces of legislation were proposed since the 1990s that were intended to create governmental controls over Internet gambling, with several proposals outlawing Internet gambling altogether."
