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."

"The Internet was created by the defense-related ARPANET project, which was a communications tool for the United States government in the late 1960's linking a decentralized system of computers that could resist a nuclear attack (Copeland, et al). Today, this tool, which was once viewed as little more than an emergency fallback system, has grown into one of the most popular methods of international communication."

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.

Abstract
This paper examines how China would like to embrace the internet for the prosperity of its country while keeping their citizens safe from illegal material that could demoralize the society. It looks at how Chinese leaders are trying to make constructive usage of the Internet because they realize the profit wired economy can bring to their country and how they also feel that political discussions should not be openly accessible by their citizens or other countries since it can bring harm to the well being of their law and order situation. It looks at how the internet in China has been predominantly controlled by the authoritarian regimes and how officiating bodies are bent on filtering material and also have the users register online.
From the Paper
"In China Playboy, CNN, BBC all have one thing in common, they have been blocked by the local ISPs. Even search engines like Google and AltaVista have become restricted sites. The Chinese government has blocked these sites because it finds them rebellious to their regime. The search engines have been blocked so that the citizens cannot access material that is anti-government and may threaten the ruling Communist Party. The Chinese government?s does not approve of Google because it has the ability to allow the users to see cached websites. This ability allows the users to see archived sites that may have been deleted or blocked. However, Chinese people have their own way to get around this, they use Elgoog that is a site similar to Google and are not filtered. This site is written backward that is why it requires a mirror to be read. People can access Google by typing search queries backward in this site. The governments stand on blocking Alta Vista and Google have led the people to use domestic search engines that are approved by the communist government."

"As technological advances increase and the world becomes more interconnected, the framework of gambling has begun to change. The prevalence of internet gambling is astounding, and provides elements that were absent in conventional gambling arenas (Rose 134). However, as this trend continues, there are some very important questions to be answered. How is internet gambling regulated, in wake of the fact that this is done via the web? How is State revenue affected by these non-state gambling operations?"

Its availability on the Internet has caused fear and a 'moral panic' among the government, law enforcement bodies such as the police, prosecutors and judges together with the media in general. There is no settled definition of pornography in a multi-national environment such as the Internet and cultural, moral and legal variations all around the world make it difficult to define 'pornographic content' in a global society."

Abstract
This paper explores the works of two scholars in regulation analysis, Robert Baldwin and Martin Cave. The paper presents their arguments about whether or not there can be 'good' regulation, what this means and how regulation can be defined and practiscd in developed and develping countries. Problems in achieving the essentials of regulation are discussed and recommendations are made drawing on a wide cross-section of case-studies and examples from the U.S., U.K., Africa, the Caribbean and South East Asia.
From the Paper
"The topic of regulation is one of elusive character, both in conceptual meaning and in practice. Given the fact that regulation is eclectic and multidisciplinary, the idea of good regulation is difficult to be achieved considering many factors such as the public and private sectors as well as voluntary or community groups and even academics to whom such ?good regulation? might mean different things. Contributing to this mode of dissension is the fact that economists and political scientists seem to treat regulation differently, as the former accentuate regulation for efficiency and the latter concentrate on the matter of public interest."

Abstract
This paper evaluates an under-emphasized aspect of self-regulated learning - motivation. The paper examines various methods of regulation of motivation. The paper describes how, in self-regulated learning, students combine the functions of motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognition to support their ways of making achievements.
From the Paper
"In self-regulated learning, students combine the functions of motivation, cognitive strategies, and metacognition to support their way to make achievements. To achieve educational goals, self-regulated learners have the ability to recognize what they aim, what it takes to accomplish a goal, the process they need to go through, and the control of endurance in their whole efforts. Besides those factors, regulation of motivation also plays an important role in self-regulated learning. Motivation is important to provide the foundation to start the learning and achieving process. Motivation can be viewed as ?product? or ?process? (Winne & Mark, 1989 in Wolters, 2003). Wolters states, as a product, motivation means ?willingness to persist in a task.? As a ?process,? students experience different levels of motivation from many causes and conditions."

From the Paper
"Since America was in its infancy, the public has looked to federal and state government agencies to protect it from harm. Whether it was the threat of international terrorism or scams from international gold diggers, society has turned to its government and asked it to regulate such activities to protect American residents. While the public recognizes and appreciates such efforts, it quickly changes its tune when it comes to government regulations with regard to business."

From the Paper
"Although securities transactions are private contracts, they take place in public markets and have effects extending far beyond the specific parties involved. Moreover, there is a general societal interest in strong capital markets. The strength of the U.S. capital markets, due in part to their relative safety and transparency, has been a fundamental component of this country's economic growth. Indeed, the United States' capital markets are sufficiently attractive that they regularly attract listings from foreign issuers, some of whom appear to view compliance with extensive U.S. regulations as providing their securities with something like a good housekeeping seal. An increasing number of foreign issuers and corporations are choosing to list their stock on United States exchanges, thereby agreeing to comply with the U.S. federal securities laws. This public nature of business law is the central focus of the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
As the leading provider of networking products for the Internet, Cisco Systems uses e-commerce via the internet. Therefore, according to the paper, Cisco Systems adamantly opposes any government regulation, such as taxing internet traffic, that would impinge on the efficiency and growth of e-commerce. This paper looks at the ways in which Cisco Systems is affected by government regulation.
From the Paper
"Other laws and proposed laws also have caused concern for both Cisco Systems and the industry. Both the Congress and several states are considering laws to protect individual privacy on the Internet. Both Cisco and the industry oppose such a law, holding that the industry can be more effective through self-regulation. Another law that has been proposed frequently by some members of Congress and by some states would apply taxation to Internet activity. Both Cisco and the industry argue that taxation would cripple e-commerce just as it is beginning to grow. Thus far, the lawmakers have backed down on taxation proposals for the Internet."

Government Regulation of Business, 2008.
This paper argues positions for and against government regulation of business.

Abstract
This paper explains that government regulation of commerce in the United States traces back to the first draft of the Constitution, which gives the federal government power to regulate interstate commerce. The author points out that the power of regulations of businesses allows the federal government to act on behalf of the public and provide protections for individuals who cannot manage on their own without collective support. The paper stresses that, far from being evil and ineffective, appropriate government regulations can have many positive effects such as reducing corporate excess and increasing accountability in the business world. The author underscores that, unfortunately, the presence of a regulatory agency or legislation is no guarantee of the successful achievement of that goal. The paper also argues that any regulation leveled at the business community is ultimately borne by the consumers who patronize those businesses and negatively impact innovation in products by raising costs for businesses.

From the Paper
"The reality is that the government is, by and large, an obstacle to increased prosperity and economic growth in industrialized nations. The traditional view of regulations is that it is the primary weapon or tool that the government has in its efforts to rein in the excesses of the business community. This attitude posits that business and commerce is somehow opposed to the interests of the public and that the government can act as a kind of "white knight" to protect the public and champion their interests in the face of corporations and businesses intent only on improving their bottom line and increasing profits."
