Access to YouTube Gone: What Will They Take from Us Next?
Many of the students here at BYU came from high schools where they could spend up to an hour a day in our computer technology classes surfing the internet freely. Upon our arrival to BYU, we experienced a bit of a shock when websites like YouTube turned out to be inaccessible. Nearly every BYU student has at some point in their academic career come across the big red stop sign while surfing the internet here on campus. This is BYU’s block page. BYU insists on blocking several websites, many of which should be readily available to the public. One such website is youtube.com. Especially during this time of increased information over the internet, BYU should allow its students access to YouTube.

Title "Access to YouTube Gone: What Will They Take from Us Next?" is the best you have. "The Block on YouTube: A Restriction of Agency?" is not attractive/eye-catching. And "A Revolution is in Sight: They Cannot Keep Us from YouTube Forever" you cannot say that with confidence, because chances are, they might keep it forever!
Ethos was not all that clear. WHO are you again? Kairos was good!
Now, just a personal insight. They put a block on youtube because of the past experiences, and not for the fun of it! The BYU Administration is trying to help the students as much as they can. What if you were sitting in the library and someone was surfing inappropriate videos on youtube right next to you? Think about it!
For stuff like youtube, GET YOUR OWN COMPUTER!
Your best title is "Access to YouTube Gone: What Will They Take from Us Next?" It puts emphasis on how this may be a restriction of our rights. I think you need to put some more ethos in here but your kairos is good. How has this restriction affected you?
I really like the second title that you have. I think you should talk more about free agency in this paper, but everything else is great.
I liked your first title “Access to YouTube Gone: What Will They Take from US Next?” but would like it more if it were condensed. I am not sure about how I feel about your development of personal Ethos. Perhaps tell your readers about ways that you yourself have used youtube: in order to complete projects, learn a new skill, or any other good thing.
