Write a 500 word essay based on free speech on the Internet. I want you to be for or against unrestricted free speech on the Internet. You should give your own opinions, and there are no right or wrong answers.
•Essay based on free speech on the Internet: The issue is whether various kinds of speech and content on the Internet should be restricted, such as hate speech, pornography, lewd material, sex chat rooms, and similar items. Others feel that only actual specific threats of violence and obscene material should be prohibited, and in some cases not even these categories.
Please note that essays do NOT require citations, nor do they require a works cited section.
Please keep in mind that this essay represents your opinions, so there are no right or wrong answers per se. For grading purposes, the key factors are the word count (500 required), correct submission in the appropriate format, and effective writing.
Ground rules for your essay:
•Each essay must be entirely your own individual original work. Of course copying someone else's essay is completely unacceptable.
•The essay must be neatly typed, spell checked, and submitted in an appropriate format through Blackboard.
•You should write in as simple, clear, and direct a manner as possible. Your essay should make specific points without rambling. 500 words is the required length. Anything less - even one word less - will result in a deduction of points.
•Essays turned in after the due date will lose all credit (will receive a zero).
•Only submissions using Blackboard will be accepted!
•Submissions MUST be in Microsoft Word (*.doc, *.docx) or plain text (*.txt) format
•Students will submit the assignment through the Blackboard assignment submission system. It must be at least 500 words long. Submit it as either a Microsoft Word (*.doc, *.docx) or plain text file (*.txt).
