Hello Friends,
I am in a class on cross-cultural communication with the middle east. Each week I participate in a live webcam/mic chat with people from the U.S. and Egypt. My partner, Mary, and I are doing a community interviews project.
I am hoping that you might do me a favor and respond to her questions. They are interesting, and you might learn a bit more about yourself from doing it.
You can respond with your answers - or email me at whlovepirate@yahoo.com
Thanks soooo much - this is due soon, so take 10 and help a sista out! Yikes - last minute as usual, but I promise - you wont regret it!

OUTLINE OF COMMUNITY INTERVIEW

The Freedom of Speech
My Partner is Breanna.
My topic is about the freedom of speech and especially taking in Taboos…
My partner is an Art major and we aim to search in the freedom of talking in taboos with the mixture of media ethics and Art ethics.
Each partner will put a certain questions to be asked for the other side community. I will make some questions about media ethics and the freedom of talking in the frame of it and my partner will work on questions to ask her in Egypt about the freedom of people to draw and compose music about taboos…
My questions:
1. What do you know about the freedom of speech?
2. Do you think that journalists are free to talk in religion, dogma and why?
3. Do you think that reporting news about the celebrities is ethical or not, why?
4. Do think that journalists are free to publish special situations of the celebrities, why?
5. Are you interested in following the political cartoons, why?
6. What do you think about the cartoons about the prophet Mohamed? Is people are free to draw picture about religion and dogma?
7. Do you see that the freedom of newspapers make them write all the truth or there is
another face for the situation, why?
8. Do you think that newspapers give you all the information you want to know about the
government and the laws of the country where you live, why?
9. Do you think that government should interfere in the freedom of press, why?
10. What do you want to see in newspapers that you are always asking about and want to
know but the journals don't serve the topic?
11. Do you think that print journalism should have pictures and videos more than texts and reporting words, why?
12. Do you think that your media is free or censored, if yes who censored it?
