1. 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. Select a particular aspect of Asian gaming culture(s) OR Asian mobile phone culture(s).
Does your example suggest that the Asia-Pacific is increasingly taking a lead role in this
area? What does your particular case study reveal about the society of which it is a part?
