The case is China renews Google license, ending standoff involved cencorship in Mainland China
Google has renewed its license with the Chinese government to continue operating in China, ending a standoff over censorship on July,9,2010. People who live in mainland have to click a link to the Google HK site. For some reason, Google has been stopped search engine by the Chinese Government. Now, after renewing of Google’s ICP license, the Google can continue operating in the communist country.
I think that it is more like a political issue because of the censor is narrow in mainland China. I agree that they decide to continue their search engine service because people wherever they live have right to access to what they want to know.
I think it is a best way of talking to government that achieves an agreement of operating in the communist country.

Assignment 9: Propaganda in Advertising/PR
Look up "Propaganda techniques on wikipedia.org and read through the entry. Then find an advertisement online that uses at least two propaganda techniques described in the wikipedia article. Explain what the techniques are and how they are used. Add a link to the ad.
The 1946 Campbell's Soup advertisement features Campbell’s chicken soup in vintage style and depicts a relationship of men and women in this advertisement.
The first propaganda techniques in this advertisement is Common man, which is attempts to convince the audience that the propagandist’s positions reflect the common sense of the people. The woman as a housewife should be cook at home which presents a woman who wears apron making a chicken soup. On the contrary, the man stands behind her with a smoking cigar image which represents the dominant role of society is always man. Their pose of this couple reflect the position of men and women in the society in 1940s and 1950s. In addition, the target audience is not only the housewife, but also the man who get married or still single want to make their own dinner by using Campbell’s Soup. The reason is the Beautiful people which is the second propaganda technique advertiser used.
Advertiser uses “I courted an angel…and married a cook” which makes other people think that if they buy Campbell soup, they will happy like this couple. The attraction of happiness is depicted by Advertisers.

Assignment 7: Internet
On Wikipedia.org, look up "social networking websites." About how many sites are listed? Which sites have you heard of? Do you know of any that aren't listed? Research and describe a site you've never heard of.
How do you, personally, use social networking? Which sites do you use? How would you improve the site(s) you use? Describe one incident in which social networking got you into trouble or really helped you out. (If you have never used a social networking site, then interview someone who has.)
There are approximately 185 social networking sites listed on Wikipedia. I have heard of Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Flickr, and so on. I know one site named Douban ( www.douban.com), which is very popular social networking example that aren’t listed. It is more like a facebook-like site, though Douban has its own feature that appeals more than 42,930,000 people in China. The main difference is the people who have accounts at Douban are categorized by their interests, such as, the favorite music style, the best movie, or even their favorite books. In addition, people can write blogs, create albums, or even add friends as facebook.
Now, I usually use facebook to contact with my friends in U.S and use Douban to contact my friends who live in China. Mostly, I share my photos and post some blogs on line. I think that the most thing I did is just sharing information with friends.

I asked my grandmother who is 78 year old. According to her memory, she said that going to movie of her earlier year in China was more like an open-staged show. All of people who live in the village called HuaiRou in Beijing were going to watch movie together in 1950. People were hanging out with friends and family together which was like an event in village. Sometimes, open-staged show began with folk dancing performances. Then, the movie was introduced by host which was talking about a story of Anti-Japanese War. She said that people reacted excited. The reason was because the story based on real history.
