International Standards Part II
I'm pondering how different cultures perceive:
* what is considered taboo
* levels of acceptable nudity and/ or violence
* senses of humour
* what constitutes offensive language
How will the internet thrive and permit people to be themselves both in a cultural context and as individuals? Is it necessary for all participants to adopt the most conservative model and restrict conversation? Or is there some way that differences can be accepted?
My fear is that the lowest common denominator will "win" and internet forums will become more and more restrictive in permitable discussion topics and language.
