world and wikipedia part 2
When the online encyclopedia first came out it was a huge hit and had very positive results. One of the reasons why we love this site is that it is a virtual world in which we can share information among people and throughout the world. People in Africa can learn about information in the United States. We can learn about infromation in Russia and they can learn about what is going on in South America. We also love Wikipedia because it lets us be push the limits of being explicit writing whatever we want. We love Wikipedia and we also hate it. Many people say that it is very informative, but we do not ever think about what is wrong about. Many people can say whatever they want to say on whatever subject and can bad mouth certain people, organizations or events. If alot of people read those articles than it can be very, very embarrassing and upsetting to those people. Now comes the question of illegality and slander, which can be a very nasty business. Considering the good and bad of Wikipedia, the pros and cons are pretty much even. Many people love Wikipedia and love using it. I do not foresee it being abolished by any government in the world. I personally, would do what I can to help abolish this site because it is not an accreditted web page.
