academic freedom

the article by Abdulwahed on academic freedom describes the threat of academic freedom as the world further globalizes. the author not only stretches that some of those academic freedom violations may not be on purpose it still remains a problem that should be solved. Abdulwahed states's the Dar es Salaam's definition of academic freedom as the freedom of members do do and write whatever they want intellectually without limits (81). he also states that academic freedom is always changing and goes further to state it as a " a global problem" (82). it is also easy to see that Abdulwahed is a democrate becsue he refers to academic freedom as the same as democracy. he says it is a given, but not forever because it changes as people move and ideas and goods move as well (82). he also blames the market saying that "market forces ...tries to impose restrictions on what to teach,study,research, publish upon ect."(82). he also goes on to acknowledge forces that try to help academic freedom like cell phones, some human rights organization and democracy.
