Document Summary
Comments on the film from last week: labeling perspective is important. Power relations and power interests affect how certain acts are defined. Young people started to question authority because they were not happy with the state of affair in the world such as what was taking place in vietnam. These protests are organized through social media: icts. Part of the freedom to assemble and organize is based on communication. Many people with power trying to restrict these communication devices and networks. Authority figures spy on the use of these devices: tapping phones, surveillance of e-mails. Notion of a counter-culture: awareness group different from the mainstream. Corruption in some countries because of the leaders that support it. War in vietnam was established to fight communism and when the war ended vietnam went to war with communist china. They did not need to do anything because the two communist countries went to war anyways.
