Yes DDD is a bra size, but is not the topic of this paper. On average, “Americans spend eleven hours a day using electronic media” (Petronzio 2). Even though there are search engines on the internet, the government will censor a good portion of what can be seen. For example, “North Korea, [the most censored country in the world], censors all websites and only four percent of the population has internet” (Today 3).

We need to find ourselves without looking in the mirror, because if…
