6) Let your local member know what you think about their speech

7) Read the lecture and the readings, pursue a couple of the topics that you find most interesting and then post your blog with your well-considered thoughts about the theory and practice of politics.

ok?? so wait...what?

9) What place does censorship have in a democracy?

Self regulation is the key to avoid government interference in private media. A national debate is needed on issues like these as otherwise it gets misinterpreted as censorship. In the 21st century and in the our democracy, censorship is not the right path for the educated. And as far as a content code is concerned, only when it is accepted would there be a debate on who will implement the same.
