Propaganda and censorship are forms of manipulation that can influence audiences through what is included or omitted from a message. While censorship may sometimes aim to protect people, it can also be used to control them. There are debates around when censorship may be appropriate versus a violation of freedom of speech and the right to choose information. This document introduces the topic of how media and propaganda use techniques like omission to manipulate audiences.

It also recommends starting with a working thesis and refining it as the essay is written. The document then provides examples of thesis statements and discusses introducing an essay through context, a funnel approach, quotations, or questions. It outlines various methods for developing an essay, such as definition, examples, classification, comparison, and narration. Finally, it offers tips for concluding an essay through restating the thesis, taking a new angle, or referring back to the introduction.
Corporate Media: Weapon of Mass Distraction
This document discusses the role of the media in a democracy and how corporate influence can undermine that role. It argues that the media is meant to act as a watchdog on the powerful by exposing abuses, clarifying electoral choices, and providing policy information to the public. However, the media's profits come from advertisers, and many media companies have overlapping interests with other large corporations. This concentrated power and corporate overlap can discourage the media from criticizing topics like pollution or military spending. Elite theory also holds that the media functions to teach elite values and set the agenda from an elite perspective rather than serving the public interest. The document questions whether media reform is possible to make the system prioritize informing the public instead of corporate profits and propaganda
Literary criticism
The document asks two questions about writing: whether it demonstrates sensitivity toward the exploitation of the poor, and whether it supports prevailing power relationships or challenges them.
Wikileaks
Wikileaks aims to bring important information to the public by anonymously leaking classified documents and partnering with journalists to verify and report on their contents. It argues this transparency reduces corruption and strengthens democracy, having previously exposed injustices like evidence of torture and civilian deaths in Iraq. However, critics argue that verifying stories is difficult and some leaks could threaten national security. The document encourages supporting Wikileaks and using encryption tools like Tor to enable anonymous leaking and access to the website.

How Technology Spreads Bias
(title image by @hookieduke)
Racism. Sexism. Homophobia. Transphobia. Within our own communities, these concepts are not new—but the 2020 pandemic has shone a spotlight on these issues.
It was only February of this year that Prime Minister Kishida’s aide said he “didn’t even want to look at” same-sex married couples.
But surely, we’re not like that. We make technology to make the world better, not hurt it.
Well, there’s good news and bad news. The bad news is the technology that we make is not immune to our human biases, and we all have biases. The good news is we can change this. With a bit of courage and humility, we can take the next step into a new frontier of universal design—technology that can be useful to everyone, regardless of their race, ability, identity or sexual orientation.In this 2-hour interactive session, participants will explore together common types of biases in technology and tackle difficult conversations around product design and development decisions.
It will be led by CJ Hostetter (they/them), a designer with ten years of experience in UX design who identifies as nonbinary.
This workshop will take place in person and be centered around small-group discussions tailored to digging in deep and sharing personal predicaments around bias in tech.
人種差別、性差別、同性愛嫌悪、トランスフォビア。

でもきっと、私たちはそんなことはない。私たちは、世の中を良くするために技術を作るのであって、傷つけるために技術を作るのではありません。
さて、良いニュースと悪いニュースがあります。悪いニュースは、私たちが作るテクノロジーは、私たち人間のバイアスに左右されてしまうということです。
良いニュースは、私たちがこれを変えられるということです。
少しの勇気と謙虚さがあれば、人種、能力、アイデンティティ、性的指向に関係なく、すべての人に役立つユニバーサルデザインの新しいフロンティアへ次のステップを踏み出すことができるのです。
この2時間の対話型セッションでは、参加者は一緒にテクノロジーに共通するバイアスを探り、製品設計や開発の意思決定にまつわる会話に取り組みます。
UXデザインで10年の経験を持ち、ノンバイナリーを自認するデザイナー、CJ Hostetter (they/them)がワークショップを行います。
このワークショップは、対面で少人数のグループディスカッションを中心に、テクノロジーにおける偏見にまつわる個人的な苦境を掘り下げ、共有するために行われます。

The art of public speaking
This document provides guidance on developing confidence and skills for public speaking. It discusses managing nervousness, choosing topics, organizing speeches, delivering content, analyzing audiences, gathering materials, using language effectively, and preparing for questions.

3) Speakers should select topics they are passionate about, understand their audience's interests and perspectives, and support their points with examples, statistics and vivid language.
4) Preparation involves researching,

1) There is a difference between hearing and listening - hearing is perceiving sound passively while listening requires conscious concentration and processing of meaning.
2) Most people tend to be "hard of listening" rather than "hard of hearing" as listening requires effort to avoid distractions and focus on understanding the message.
3) Effective listening involves eliminating distractions, understanding different perspectives, withholding judgment, reinforcing the message, and providing feedback to show attentiveness.
Remember By Joy Harjo Analysis
Snowball and Napoleon in Animal Farm both use persuasive speeches to motivate the other animals, but for different reasons. Snowball genuinely wants to educate the animals and further the animal revolution, hoping to build a society where all animals are equal. In contrast, Napoleon's true motivation is personal power and control. He wants to dominate the farm and consolidate his authority. While Snowball appeals to the animals' sense of justice and idealism, Napoleon manipulates their fears and insecurities to strengthen his own position as leader. Their divergent motivations - idealism versus selfish ambition - shape how each pig approaches public speaking and rallying the support of their listeners.

2. Identify the goals and objectives of your audience so you can show how your speech will help them achieve their goals.
3. Consider demographics of your audience like size, knowledge level, attitudes, ages, genders, and cultural factors so you can tailor your speech appropriately.
ENG2P Intro
This document provides an overview for a Grade 10 Applied English course. The teacher, Mrs. Douglas, enjoys historical fiction and plans to take students on an adventure through time to discuss censorship and individual rights. Students will explore these ideas by examining China under government control and the United States during a time of intolerance. The document outlines class rules, assessments, genres of study, and an introductory critical thinking activity analyzing a photo.
ENG3U Intro
This document provides an introduction to the Grade 11 University English course, which will involve traveling to different places through literature to learn about humanity's strongest emotions like guilt, regret, and betrayal. The teacher's favorite book is The Book Thief and genre is historical fiction. Ground rules for the class are also outlined, including expectations for attendance, being prepared, respecting others, and participating fully without distractions.
ENG1D Intro
This document provides an overview of the Grade 9 Academic English course. It will explore themes of acceptance and tolerance through studying works like Romeo and Juliet and X-Men. The class will be assessed through term tests, assignments, presentations, and a final exam. Students are expected to attend regularly, be prepared, respect others, and stay focused in class. Critical thinking will be practiced by analyzing photos and defending conclusions.
Subliminal messaging
This document discusses how subliminal messages can manipulate viewers without their awareness. Subliminal messages are hidden messages presented below the viewer's conscious awareness that can influence their thoughts and behaviors. Examples are given of subliminal messages in movies and advertisements that repeat ideas without the viewer consciously noticing in order to spur actions like product cravings. The document urges viewers to be critical thinkers and aware of how media messages are framed and targeted to manipulate their responses.
The newspaper
Newspaper reports contain headlines, facts, quotes, photos and are informative. Headlines are the title of an article and should be brief, to the point about the topic, and catchy to grab readers' attention. Effective headlines summarize the key points of an article in a concise yet engaging manner.

Opinion pieces
The document discusses the rule of three and how it can be used to write persuasive opinion pieces. It recommends beginning with a clear statement of the topic and opinion, followed by three arguments to support the opinion. Each of the three arguments should be in its own paragraph, creating a three paragraph structure. Following this rule of three will make writing more engaging and convincing by tapping into how people naturally recognize patterns. The document provides examples of applying this structure to formulate opinions on several debate topics.
Spoken word
Spoken word poetry emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s with poetry slams, where poets would perform and compete against each other on stage. It relies on beat, voice, and movement for expression, often as a solo performance. The document then provides examples of spoken word poems to illustrate how they differ from written poetry and aim to be heard and experienced rather than just read on the page.

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

News censorship
- 1. But is subliminal messaging through the insertion of additional content the only way to manipulate your minds? The answer is NO. Remember the question... Is anything being left out, and if so WHY is it being left out? Propaganda is there for a purpose, to sell something. And to that end, people, especially the media, often use omission to lead their audience.
- 2. Let's take a look at a quick clip that discusses media and propaganda
- 3. Which brings us to the heart of what we are talking about... Censorship Censorship is a highly debated topic. Sometimes things are censored to "protect" others, other times things are censored to "control" people. Any which way, censorship is a form of manipulation. But is it always wrong? And if not, when is it right? What about freedom of speech, shouldn't everyone have a right to a voice, and shouldn't everyone have a right to choose what they hear? So many questions, and limited time, so let's get started...
