Abstract
This paper explains that freedom of speech, from a Canadian standpoint, allows for the open expression of beliefs, while at the same time cautioning people to use sound judgment in their attempt to exercise that right. The author points out that Internet transmissions can be judged and ruled on in court using the same criteria and decision-making process, which is used for non-Internet freedom of speech questions and cases. The paper suggests that the Canadian Government, in regard to its freedom of speech and the World Wide Web, needs to clearly define the meaning of a hate speech and to legislate how the laws will be applied.

From the Paper
"Another important case was that of Joe Howe who argued his right to freedom of speech in the press against the Canadian government. He was acquitted of the criminal charges brought against him but it did not clear the way for Internet freedom of speech that would not be justifiable in its content. Canada currently has a list of laws that restrict publication that defies the voice of Canadian authority. ?Lately, Canadian university administrators have been especially prone to accept censorship, but they made a strategic blunder when they rushed to delete the Usenet group alt.fan.karla-homolka."

"Introduction
The World Wide Web (Web) has become an important component of American commerce as companies conduct increasing amounts of business through the Web. Catalog companies have found that the Web is particularly well-suited to their needs, and have simply put their entire catalog on-line. Other companies, such as Amazon.com, have been created to take advantage of the opportunities that the Web provides to sell to consumers without having to maintain an inventory. Others, including governments, companies and individuals, recognize the potential of the Web to provide information to interested parties. For many organizations, the Web is now an integral part of their communications programs, with internal corporate communications and training taking place using Web technology. This research examines the ways in which ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the internet and the more recent global network known as the World Wide Web. The author provides specific dates and important events in the founding of the Internet. A detailed look into how the internet came to be what it is today.
From the Paper
"The internet is one of the most ingenious and fascinating inventions of the past century. It made communication truly global in the sense that people from across the world could talk and exchange messages easily and in hardly any time at all. Now our entire lives are stored in the vague whereabouts of server and hosting computers that make up the internet. Even though the internet really took off during my life-time, I cannot put a certain date on when it did. To many of us the beginnings are somewhat uncertain. That is why I chose this topic for my research paper. I wanted to get a better understanding of why and how the internet came to be. In the next couple pages, I will discover the history behind the internet and World Wide Web."

From the Paper
"Arthur Bork, a critical observer of the educational system in America sees a major problem growing stronger every day. That problem is the tendency to confuse "information" with "learning." As Bork argues, this confusion arises from the use of the World Wide Web (WWW) as a learning environment, although, as he points out, it is a problem that predates the Web's existence.
"This confusion of information and learning is particularly important with areas that depend heavily on problem solving. It is also of major concern because it is immediate information, not problem solving and creativity, that is most easily tested" (Bork, 1997, 74)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the development of the Internet, its original purpose, how it has impacted modern society, legal and ethical issues concerning the Internet, and why its widespread use is both advantageous and problematic.
From the Paper
"As little as a decade ago, if someone tried to explain the Internet and World Wide Web, it would have been difficult if not impossible to understand. People would be as incredulous as they were when John F. Kennedy talked about landing on the moon. Computers were just beginning to become popular and few individuals realized the capacity of one PC, let alone the power of a network of electronic technology. By tying together computers, users could remotely access others on the network and share information, educate and inform, send electronic mail, download data, and buy and sell products as easily as pushing a button. However, as with any new technology there are two sides of the story: use and misuse. And the story does not read any different with this invention of the super highway. The unlimited means of this infrastructure as well as the speed in which it has permeated societies all over the world raises many ethical and legal questions, a large number that still go unanswered."

Abstract
In North America, citizens have come to depend on their "rights". However, several cases over the past few years have begun to demonstrate that perhaps they have put too much faith in something that is covered in bureaucratic red tape. This essay shows that it takes more than just a written constitution to guarantee fair treatment and civil rights. It argues that the enactment of the Canadian Charter of Rights has not led to equality for all Canadians.
From the Paper
"The following court case is an example of the high financial cost of protecting your rights. An Ontario printer currently faces charges for choosing not to print ?materials that promote and celebrate? a gay lifestyle (Lowes, 2001, p.1). Prior to these charges, Scott Brockie had never refused printing jobs from homosexual groups but when he was asked to print materials that promoted behaviors that were in conflict with his personal beliefs he declined. Brockie is fighting for the right to follow his own convictions and beliefs, a right guaranteed without exception in section 2A of Part I in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Canadian Charter, 1982). Originally convicted of discrimination and fined for $5000, Brockie appealed the court decision and has spent the last several years dealing with legal snares and one-tenth of a million dollars in legal fees."

Abstract
The essay introduces Gayatri Spivak's term "subaltern" to describe those who do not have access to a computer and thus do not have access to the literacies of learning online. It makes the analogy of the world wide web to a post-colonial space -- an area conquered and developed by a certain group, and having the culture of that group imposed upon a larger population, and then having been abandoned by the conquerors, leaving the native group with an artificially grafted and imposed culture which they did not formerly know. The essay describes teaching literacy via the web to those without a computer background as a pedagogy of the oppressed. It cites statistics that show that the web is dominated by the U.S., embraced by Europe, and virtually unused by the vast majority of most of the globe's population. The essay discusses initiatives which might give a voice online to the subaltern. In conclusion, the writer suggests that until the non-western world is embraced by the world wide web, the potential of the web as an influence on global education will remain overlooked.
From the Paper
"Here, though the issues involved are not simple, I want to try to explain the problem in straightforward terms. A number of scholars have demonstrated to us the complexity of access to discourse in learning environments; Lesley Rex, for example, recently completed a dissertation under the direction of Judith Green which uses discourse analysis to explore complications of access in a secondary English classroom. In Rex's study, General students had to learn to take up the spoken and written discourse practices of Gifted and Talented students to learn a rigorous academic curriculum. Imagine, now, if, beyond the issues of gaining opportunities to participate to become proficient identified by Rex, this school classroom was difficult to attend for students, either because they could not afford to participate or because they could not find the support they needed to be successful in their studies once they did manage to enroll. Even more to the point, what if the teacher might not be able to recognize their presence, even when they did attend? "

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the future of the web and of web building tools. The paper presents a brief overview of early web page building languages and then discusses how the tools needed have changed over time, making it simpler for those with fewer technical skills to build web pages. The paper further explains that the increasing simplicity of building web pages is an indication that a new type of communications system, with different rules and perceptions, may lie in the future.
From the Paper
"In the very early years of the Internet's development, Web pages could only be constructed by directly using HyperText Markup Language to HTML. HTML is defined as " A markup language designed for the creation of web pages and other information viewable in a browser. The focus of HTML is on the presentation of information- paragraphs, fonts, italics, tables, and so forth- rather than the semantics- what the words mean." ( Onelook) WebPages were created usually by using a simple text editor such as Windows Notepad to write the underlying syntax. This language was created and displayed the web page in conjunction with an application known as the Web Browser. The early Web browsers like Netscape, in conjunction with the underlying language, allowed for the standardization of the Web, so that all web pages could be displayed, viewed and interacted with by the browser users."

Abstract
This paper discusses how web-based training is an extension of computer-based training which takes advantage of the immediacy of the World Wide Web and the ability to reach large numbers of people at the same time regardless of where they are located. It proposes a study on the ways in which training may be adapted to benefit from innovations in information technology (IT) and the advantages such adaptation may provide for both organizations and trainees. Through an extensive literature review, it attempts to identify factors that contribute to either the success or failure of web-based training systems.

"An organization is a community. Social interactionists conceive a community as a social group, and that within the community as a social group, individuals develop both their own self-concept and individual identity through social interactions within the community structure (Levine, 1991). Identity refers to self-meanings in a role. Roles are shared norms applied by occupants of social positions. This development, according to social interactionists, allows a person to move from a personal perception of ?I? (the spontaneous self) to a personal perception of ?Me? (the social self), through a role taking behavior wherein the person assumes the role of the generalized other. Through this behavioral process, the person derives meanings from the nonverbal actions and verbal statements of significant others within the community structure."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and compares two types of leadership - the "Wheel" and the "Web". The author sees that the twentieth century was marked by a series of economical, social and political changes that resulted in the restructuring and transformation of a number of traditional beliefs and customary views. This process, he believes, changed the fundamental framework of leadership, transforming it from the "wheel" that supported the Industrial Age to the "web" that forms the heart of the Age of Information. The "wheel" type of leadership is recognized by the fundamental traits of command, control and power and is commonly associated with the male leadership characteristics of individuality and autonomy. On the other hand, the leadership known as the "web", incorporates the basic traits of collaboration, communication and participation and is recognized by the characteristics of organization and cooperation that have come to be commonly associated with modern female leadership . This paper describes the face of modern female leadership as well as famous female leaders.

From the Paper
""Leaders are visionaries with a poorly developed sense of fear and no concept of the odds against them...they make things happen" ~ Robert Jarvick, inventor of the artificial heart (Leadership). The characteristic mark of leadership and the traits of those who have excelled at it can be traced throughout the pages of world history and down through the centuries of the development of human civilization. Up until the twentieth century, these traits and characteristics showed some modification but little basic and fundamental change. The twentieth century, however, was marked by a series of economical, social and political changes that resulted in the restructuring and transformation of a number of traditional beliefs and customary views. This restructuring process included basic changes in the fundamental framework of leadership, transforming it from the "wheel" that supported the Industrial Age to the "web" that forms the heart of the Age of Information (Guido-DiBrito et al, 1996, pp. 28-29)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the basic tenants of website design. The paper explains that this begins within the mind of the creator and describes how these ideas can be transferred to website templates or websites created from the complicated computer languages that create these sites. The paper discusses how by taking the necessary steps after constructing the page, host and servers offer the bridge that allows web pages to become active on the World Wide Web or what is also called the Internet.
From the Paper
"The aim of this computer science study is to develop plans for the creation of a corporate website on the World Wide Web. By planning outlines and graphics for the website, one can teach the basic tenants of web templates, HTML and other various languages to build a professional looking website. By realizing the differing approaches to hosting and server needs, the creation of a modern looking website can be built to serve as a representation of a corporate entity on the World Wide Web. The first aspect of website design is finding an adequate model for the website, which might include making drawing on paper. These various designs can help create a corporate website from very basics design concepts."

"In conjunction with his colleagues at CERN, Europe's foremost scientific research center, Tim Berners-Lee developed and first introduced a text-based Web browser in 1991, choosing to make the browser public-domain technology as rapidly as possible despite many lucrative offers to sell his patents. He was invited in 1994 to join MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science as Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, a leadership role he continues in today. He is one of the most celebrated and awarded scientists of this age, and is most respected for his passionate pursuit of keeping Web technologies royalty-free, so as to keep the Internet a public resource for anyone who wants to access and use it."

Electonic Media: Changing Social Behaviour?, 2004.
A paper investigating the blurring of public and private spheres due to new technologies such as the mobile phone and world wide web.
2,003 words (approx. 8.0 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 63.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines existing studies by concentrating on two media: the World Wide Web and its use by people to construct an online identity and mobile phones and their impact on public situations. In a bid to discover whether social behaviour is affected and to what extent, it looks from a socially determinist angle at how people use media and their purposes and from a technologically determinist perspective at the affordances and constraints offered by particular media.
From the Paper
"Traditionally, public and private spheres have been given different gender associations. It has been stereotyped that women are often depicted forming part of the private sphere (e.g. ?the domestic bound housewife?) whereas men participate more in the public sphere (e.g. ?the breadwinner?). Valerie Frissen identifies a common representation of women as ?victims of technological developments? (Silverstone, 1996: 56). I would also argue that a similar representation of men with regards to communication itself was also evident. Despite these views, many are beginning to recognise the role technology is playing in introducing public activities into the private domain and vice versa."
