While traditional Western narratives around the Internet in Asia typically emphasize censorship and governmental control, how might these limitations be ameliorated by the way people actually use the Internet in the region? What strategies and tactics exist alongside techniques of control? 2. Choose a well-known celebrity or star from the Asia-Pacific region. Analyze the social function and social meaning of this celebrity. Is the Asian star system different from the West? If yes, how and why? 3.
