Summary: A online trailer for "Innocence of Muslims," is the film that mocks Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and killer. It is known to insult their people’s sacred beliefs. Kamran Saghafi, of the High Council for the Internet in Iran, warned Iranians not to try to access the sites. So, Iran blocked YouTube and its owner Google over the weekend. Actually, the council was not involved in the decision to block the global Internet giants' sites, but that the action was "legal and authorized." Last week, Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs demanded that the United States remove the controversial movie from YouTube.

Opinion: I think internet is the place where the worldwide people can express their own different opinions and ideas. But the important thing is that we should all be polite and keep etiquette to each other, not just blame them. I think it is very not good way to insult other’s god in certain way especially on a popular media. But we don’t know how the public think about the video. Like this policy should be discussed enough between the Congress and the people.

Pakistani TV shows US ads condemning anti-Islam film

The BBC's Aleem Maqbool in Islamabad says people were "choked by tear gas"

Read from: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19664392

Summary: Pakistani TV channels are airing an advertisement showing new clips of US President Barack Obama condemning an anti-Islam film made in the US in an apparent attempt to undercut anger against the United States.The adverts emphasize the message reiterated by US officials that the film was not made by the US government, but that there is never any justification for violence.The embassy described the advert as a “public service announcement” and repeated the statements from Mr Obama and Ms Clinton. The reason why US embassy wanted to run the ads was because it is the best way to reach as many as 90 million Pakistanis. However, many protesters are burning an effigy of President Obama and threw missiles at the police. The Pakistani government has called a national holiday on Friday to enable people to demonstrate peacefully.Opinion: Conflicts always come from misunderstanding. I think the most problem and solution is that they do not believe each other and makes other misunderstand. I think they should more careful to each other not hurting their emotions. And for the protests now in Pakistan, American people who live or visit in Pakistan should avoid protests or large gatherings. 

Opinion: I think most conflicts come from the misunderstanding and not caring about other people's emotion. Because the issues related to the religion is really important and sentative, both of them should be more careful and not hurt each other.

Long Lost 9/11 Note

Read from: http://edition.cnn.com/2012/09/11/us/9-11-lost-note/index.html?hpt=us_t5

Summary: Randy Scott was working on the 84th floor of the South Tower of the World Trade Center. But he dies on September 11, due to the terrorists. Because he was in a very close place to the plane’s point of impact, his family had thought that Randy died instantly without suffering, or feeling any fear. However, it came out to be not true when they found the little note of Randy. The note reads: “84th floor… West Office… 12 people trapped”. It shows that he was not only alive after impact, but actively trying to get help. His friend stated that Randy broke the window and tried to help 12 people downstairs. However, the South Tower collapsed shortly after that. We would like to honor his bravery and mourn over his death.

My opinion: There were a lot of loss due to the 9/11 terror. People who had stayed in the building might fear with the horror. As the terror was not a justice, the loss of them is really impacting the Americans a lot. Then this year, Randy was found out that he was a brave man just after the plane has destroyed the building. Rather than waiting for death, he tried to help other people first. He wasn’t tremble nor nervous, when we see his handwriting notes. I hope his death will be more honored as a brave man and be a time to remind 500 days after 9/11. We also should not educate people like this to do this kind of terror.

Summary: In America, most people don't know what and how much private information does their phone have. The don't think clearly or consistently about mobile privacy. However, our phones have more information that we imagine. Routinely protecting your phone with a passcode or pattern is an easy way to prevent unauthorized access to your phone. Also, being careful of Cell Phone snooping is important way.

Opinion: As smart phone technology developed, many people get better and better phone. However, because smart phone is sharing a lot of things, the security of our privacy lessened. That's why more and more serious crimes are being committed, using their leaked privacy. We have to be interested more about our security of privacy and should try to not leak our information to the world.
