2. How did you react to the list of challenged books (were you surprised, for example)? Do you think some books should be banned or should all books be freely available? Why?
->when i see the list of challenged books, quite frankly, i was surprised because most of the books i see in the challenged books i recognize and have already read some of them in high school. Personally, i didn't think they would be in the challenged book list, they weren't hard reading, its just that some of issues discussed in the books were class worthy "discuss topics/questions". if i have to pick among those two choices, i would pick all books should be freely available because that choices sound better. i didn't really have a problem with any of those books. anyway, they should not be banned just because i feel they should be.

3. How have your overall ideas about information ethics changed or not changed after completing this unit?
->well, in some ways i guess my overall ideas about information ethics changed after completing this unit. I never thought about how long the copyrights on books/material lasted. i just always assume they will copyrighted forever. its probably because i never given it much thought.
-->Anyway, even though i don't like the prohibiting system, i appreciate the system because everyone have a different outtake and opinions. therefore, everyone's personal opinions and feelings must be appreciated and thus, the prohibiting system works in some regions.

Unit 6 Assignment Information Ethics;Research Log Entry 1

In your research log entry,
1. discuss how the author, the publisher, the faculty member, the library, and the students can be accommodated.
->
if the owner is the publisher and that person paid the author to write the book or if the author decided to publish their work, they would get paid accordingly to the profit they made from the sales, of course how much book sold minus how many copies of books made = left over profits. Anyway, the author find a publisher to publish their work, the publisher publish the book, then the faculty members recommends the textbook,the library may buy some copies for the students to borrow in the library or might digitize a portion for online access, students may either choose to buy, borrow or look for it online.

3. What are the challenges in creating a fair arrangement for everyone?
Well, everyone likes things to be free, so its hard to create a fair arrangement for every single person to follow. another fair arrangement for people could be consider, is by considering an affordable price for the copyrighted material. if its not overly expensive, people would consider purchasing the items.
