Blogs

I found that about 27% of major corporations look at the facebooks of people they are looking to hire. Also that with this new facebook "privacy policy" only about 7% of users actually aprove/ like it. I'm asking around the athletic department to get the Facebook expert's, here at Purdue, phone number. I'm currently looking for statics showing how many people have been denied or lost their job because of Facebook.

Goal: Write out the project planning memo and divided the tasks to each member of the group

Topic Discussed: Assigned research and responsibilities to each member and timeline for the white paper project. 

So far in the white paper project I have aided in the establishment of a proposal as well as presenting the proposal of addressing internet censorship in communist China in a memo format.  I volunteered to post the group blogs after every meeting we have and have thus posted two group blogs.  Today I helped organize the timeline planning in class and volunteered to research the probable response and pros of a gradual reduction in the internet censorship of China.

Our group met in class on Wednesday February 25 and the whole group (John, Hu, Brett, and Liz) were all present.  The goal of this meeting was to design an informal memo addressing the objects of our white paper as well as divide up research and set up a rough timeline for completion of goals. 

We decided that addressing the proposal to the government of China was difficult and probably would not be well-received so instead chose to target it to Amnesty International and their interests in the human rights issue in China which includes the issue of censorship. 

During meeting 2 I was given the responsibility to complete the introduction and conclusion.  I will also be formatting the sources according to APA standards.  I compiled the project planning memo during meeting 2 also.
