Answer to Question 1

Answer: c

Answer to Question 2

Answer:
An ideal response will:
1. Explain what is meant by the unregulated chaos of the Internet, that the Internet was designed to operate without any central organization or authority.
2. Explain that this new media has allowed for a rapid increase in both the speed of transmission and the amount of information available to citizens and that citizens have been flocking to this venue; examples could include that Americans buy more computers than TVs and send more e-mail than snail mail.
3. Explain how having more information could be of democratic benefit because information is the required component for an informed and engaged electorate, and the rise of cyberpolitics greatly increases the ability of candidates to connect with citizens. Note also the negatives, specifically, that the information that appears on the Internet is not always good information or useful and that citizens could become subject to information burnout.
4. Advance an argument using one of those two positions.
5. Provide a clear and concise conclusion.
