Write a short essay about the status of music censorship in a Middle Eastern country of your choice (verify that your chosen country is part of the Middle East).
You should research online and discuss the current state of music censorship in your chosen country. Are certain musical genres/musicians affected more than others? Refer to particular cases of music censorship that you’ve encountered through your research. Use at least two sources. Scholarly sources are not required but aim for reputable sources (articles in newspapers, journals, podcasts, etc, are encouraged; however, an article written in a site promoting tourism in your chosen country does not sound very credible).
Requirements:
Length: 500 words minimum (your essay can exceed the word count)
Two sources (you are welcome to use more than two)
Use in-text citations and include a works-cited page
Cite your sources properly (feel free to use the citation style you are familiar with)
Include a title
Due date: Jan. 7
Tips:
Focus on music! How is music suppressed/affected by laws, cultural values, political/religious regulations?
Research the status of censorship over the past few years (so, for instance, if you’d like to research music censorship in Afghanistan, avoid focusing on the Taliban rule in the 1990s but research instead how music has been affected in the more recent years, even months in this case!).
Avoid lengthy introductions. Get straight to the point!
Make sure that your chosen country is part of the Middle East
Provide full bibliographic info (author’s name, title of article, etc), properly formatted and not just urls
Proofread extensively!
Use your own words and cite accordingly; plagiarism will be reported
