Iran Against Western Culture

                One country that is fighting against western culture is Iran.  Iran 's leader decided that there needs to be a "cyber center" whose job is to monitor the use of the internet.  This is to prevent improper use.  My first thought after learning about this was, "How does one use the internet improperly?"  Well, Iran doesn't want the internet to be used for immoral activity which includes pornography, planning political protests, etc.  But more recently Iran has been trying to plan a "battle against the invasion of western culture".  This has not only banned sites for immoral activity but also western music and movies.  Crazy right?  While reading these articles I got the sense that Iran really doesn't agree with the western culture.  I mean, I know the western culture may to some be provocative but it doesn't mean that with western culture our people are bad.
                Iran goes even farther with blocking sites on Facebook and Twitter.  It shows that their leader or government is intimidated by their citizens sharing their thoughts.  The country has thoughts about creating an Iran internet so that it is monitored and absolutely no western culture will shared.  It's almost like Iran doesn't want their people to know or learn about anyone that is not a Muslim country.
                I guess monitoring the Internet for their citizens preserves their country because their citizens have no access to learn or even know about countries that are not Muslim.  The only access they have are westernized movies sold on the black market.  If their access was granted to any site I think that their citizens will gather together to protest.  Right now it seems as if the Iran people are deprived because the government is scared.

 Some articles that I read to learn about Iran's "battle against western culture".
