Assignment: Net Neutrality Lab Project
Please click on the following link and view the comedic routine done by John Oliver in June of 2014 regarding "Net Neutrality". As you watch the clip take notes and answer the following questions. Full page 12 point font Word
1) How do you define "Net Neutrality"?
2) What are the arguments in favor of "Net Neutrality" and who is supporting them?
3) What are the arguments against "Net Neutrality" and who is supporting them?
4) In November of 2014 (5 months after this aired and one week after the mid term elections) President Obama signed an executive order calling for the protection of Net Neutrality. Compared to the position John Oliver took in this video five months before, this would seem to be a somewhat definitive change in the administration's approach to this issue. What do you think provoked this action? How would it speak to politics of both parties at the present time?
5) Do you agree or disagree with Net Neutrality? Give 3 reasons why you are in favor of it or against it. IF you have mixed feelings about it list 3 reasons why (one or two may be positive one or two may be negative).
