HW2: International Blogging Beats "Foreign Relations"

After reading "From Cave Painting to Wonkette" (Kline and Burstein xxi-xxvi), I chose his sixth idea which basically states that blogging as we all know it is and will be becoming increasingly global. Personally, I can connect to this statement because I do a lot of blogging that can be seen all over the world and is important just for that reason. Without global communication, we'd be nothing. I also think, on the other hand, that international blogging can be very difficult to accomplish with hundreds of thousands of different culture barriers all over the world. What is completely okay for a citizen of the United States to do may not be as alright for a different user in a more strict area of the world. For example: China. However, being able to express your opinion freely along the infinite lines of the global net is not only important, it's vital for Earth's future success and well being. Maybe it'd be doing a better job negotiating with the world than we are...
