1. Discuss the subtitle of the reading. Whitch side [for or against net
neutrality] supports Internet fast lanes?

handed regulation. These opponents of net neutrality argue that ISPs should
be treated as information providers who can more easily compete and
innova te.
According to opinion polls, however, the majority of Americans support net
neutrality. They view it as a necessary form of consumer protection because
50% of Americans have limited or no choice in their Internet provider.

2. Whe does the reading mention president Trump?

Ajit Pai, FCC’s chairman under the Trump administration, called these
regulations “heavy-handed” and a “mistake.”

3. According to Ajit Pai what Major reason did the have for repealing the
Obama era net neutrality regulations?

Pai claimed a reversal was necessary because investment in high-speed

networks declined by the billions when the FCC, under Obama, reclassified
an ISP as a “Common Carrier” (as opposed to an “Information Service”) in
order to impose stronger regulations

5. What aspect of net neutrality did the FCC decide to beep?

Democratic policy makers tend to approve of strong net neutrality while
most Republicans advocate for a lighter approach. The latter cite the FCC’s
Open Internet Transparency Rule, which still requires ISPs to disclose how
they are managing their networks

6. What is the Last paragraph mainly about?

“We need to empower

All Americans with digital opportunity, not deny them the benefits of
greater Access and competition.”

Critical Thinking

IN PAIRS OR SMALL GROUPS

According to a recent poll by the media, people shift their definition of the
American dream during difficult times.

During a recession, do you think people are more likely to say they have
achieved the dream or not?
Respuest.

Yes, some 80% of people already manage to do their things and get out of there
and return home or work very hard to obtain it and in the end not enjoy
anything

Explain your reasoning. Then watch the video by The New York Times titled
“Defining the American Dream” on ESL Library’s YouTube channel. Discuss the
video.
In this case I will not give a video, but I will leave it in writing

To me, the American dream is …

It is that we get out of something to improve our state, we can achieve it when
we want to get ahead and we can always obtain our dream, sometimes it is
achieved, other times it is not seen and other times we suffer to obtain what
we want but always get ahead
