SOCIETY AND MEDIA

• If libraries were closed and access to information privatized, what would be the impact to communities and schools? Perform a quick internet search for local libraries. How many did you locate? If they were all to close or become restricted, where would individuals go to receive vital information? Is there a situation in which restricting access to information would be beneficial to society? 
• Build on a classmates’ post by asking questions, offering thoughtful ideas, or sharing personal connections. Be sure to demonstrate respect for classmates’ comments.
