CENSORSHIP
Does a government have the right to deny its' citizens basic rights such as the right to information; Censorship throughout China.
Internet Censorship (Article)
Censorship Power Point
History Censorship in China:
Qin Shi Huangdi ordered more than 460 scholars in the capital to be buried alive in the second year of the proscription, though an account given by Wei Hong in the 2nd century added another 700 to the figure. As some of them were alsoConfucian scholars, Fusu counseled that, with the country newly unified, and enemies still not pacified, such a harsh measure imposed on those who respect Confucius would cause instability
GLCE: Describe the major activities of government, including making and enforcing laws, providing services and benefits to individuals and groups, assigning individual and collective responsibilities, generating revenue, and providing national security.
