I just read three articles concerning internet use in China. I am not suprised that China censors internet usage by limiting internet cafes since the government is concerned that the people will become "tainted" with outside perspectives. Since the internet serves as a media outlet to many Chinese people, it allows people to speak out against the government which might start protests. I found that censoring internet access to middle school students most interesting. I agree with China's government about their concern with middle school students and internet cafes being build near schools. This is a preventive caution that should be considered around the globe. By limiting internet access China is preventing students from viewing adult material such as pornography and/or violent images. Another article briefly mentioned the availability of suicide manuals online, and how adolescents are often intrigued by these sites. The intense pressure that some Asian kids face to do well in school probably increases the popularity of these sites. The article did not mention if this led a rise to suicide rates or not. Sometimes adolescents are more prone to viewing material that is labeled taboo but do not necessarily act on it.
