YouTube and the American Society

In American society every day people create new things. YouTube and other websites became a big issue these days. As long as the Internet technology allow to the society to develop, by talking tours in this field and get more knowledge, or by creating a new area in this field. In February 2005, YouTube Joined The internet network and became a part of American society, people love to watch free movies, listen to the latest songs for free, and share others their daily moments. In small city in southern of Illinois, there is a great university called Southern Illinois University in Carbondal.(SIUC), Where you will find international students who asked hundreds of American students and workers. Asked them about there estimations and opinions about YouTube. In this website you will find unauthorized clips. However, the results of this survey were generally allowed it. Most American say no problem to watch unauthorized clips because this websites belong to the society and no one should control it. Others are agreed that it's governments` responsibility to obstruct these websites and obstruct it.

The results of the survey were divided by ages. Generally, similar ages from both genders have similar opinions about the questions. Also, people above 30 agreed that it's government responsibility to block YouTube and other sites resembling it. Although teenagers like to watch unauthorized clips, they refuse to copyright any movie and most of them never download entire movie from the internet, whether from YouTube, or from any other site.

February 2005, this year I was in my country and I did hear about YouTube. When I arrived to United States I found a lot of people interested in YouTube. I believe this survey is really affect the amercing society and their opinion about YouTube. Some answers give my image about American and the way they thinking about websites and who should control it. In my personal opinion I think the main responsible for control website are parents. They should watch their children and they'll decide what they watch and where they get the right knowledge. If you said the responsible of blocking websites is the government, I can tell you look for other countries where the government control everything even websites. China for example, in this article the government control website and there are people who dislike this control. YouTube and other websites belong to the society and people who should ballot whether block it or not, by making an origination not belong to the government and citizens who control it.
