1. My argument
: Censorship is not necessary on the internet
I want to know diffrent countries' status of censorship on internet and decide whether censorship on the internet is right or no based on the status. In addition, lately in Korea, the big issue is censorship on the media should be allowed, so I'd like to research on this issue especially censorship on the internet.

2. How I found my argument
My first research question was, how different countries enforce the censorship on the internet? It was obvious that today's Korea government censors some informations on the internet and also censors the media as TV and radio and so on. In addition, Korean censorship even tighter after an incident called '세월호사건'. So, I just wanted to know other counties' status of censoring the media, especially internet censorship. As I continued researching, I found that there is very tight internet censorship in China. I shocked after knowing that even Chinese can be killed just becaused of emailing sensative informations to others. Then, I thought that 'internet censorship is not necessary' and also I expected that it will be interesting and it will lead other's focus. Therefore, I choosed this argument, 'internet censorship is not necessary.'

3. New research questions
I have several questions that need to be resolved.
1) Countries especially China have to continue the internet censorship?
2) What is the effects of enforcing internet censorship?
3) Does internet censorship block the internet freedom?
4) Does internet censorship disturb the right to know?
5) What is the netizens' duty to make ideal internet siciety?
I'll continue searching the internet and looking for interesting articles and keeping track of my research with blog posts.

4. Connections to the Harvard Sampler
This argument can be connected to 'chapter 5.The Internet : Liberty in Cyberspace.' It's because the internet censorship is related to netizens' liberty in cyberspace and this topic is about a happening on the internet.
