The world is flat presentation, Gaxiola
This document summarizes Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" which discusses how globalization and advances in technology have led to a more connected global community. It outlines 10 factors ("flatteners") that have contributed to this phenomenon, including the fall of barriers like the Berlin Wall, the rise of the internet and connectivity, outsourcing, and knowledge/brainpower becoming a source of wealth. The document also provides a brief history of globalization in three eras and discusses how the convergence of these flatteners has created new opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and competition on a global scale.
LECTURE 4 - Cyberculture
The document discusses several topics related to internet governance and culture, including issues with ICANN and U.S. control over domain name systems, debates around defining what constitutes the internet, and examples of online civil disobedience such as the "etoy vs eToys" case. It also addresses questions around how Habermas' theory of communicative action could work across language groups and debates around the impacts of globalization on culture.
The World is Flat by Thomas Friedman
The document discusses Thomas Friedman's book "The World is Flat" which analyzes the history of globalization. It describes globalization occurring in three eras, with the third era from 2000 to present being defined by connectivity and software enabling more individuals to collaborate globally. This flattens the world by shrinking it and allowing more diverse people to plug in and compete internationally. Two major flattening forces are described - the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 which led to the rise of personal computers and the internet's launch in 1995, which together created a "Flat World Platform" enabling people anywhere to work together digitally.
EXT 503 - The New Decision Makers
The document discusses how crowdsourcing and collaborative websites are encouraging 18-29 year old males to influence production. While these platforms claim to provide worldwide access, in reality only 3% of the world has internet access and typical users are white, educated males from wealthy countries. Studies show males are more active creators and consumers of user-generated content. For example, on the crowdsourcing site Threadless, 72 out of 89 total designers interviewed were male. This raises questions about who truly has power and control over crowdsourced labor and production online.
LECTURE 5 - Cyberculture
The document discusses various topics related to surveillance, including Jeremy Bentham's Panopticon model of surveillance, increased surveillance of both public and virtual spaces, and examples of creative practitioners using online strategies to critique surveillance and globalization. It also shares several news articles about issues like government censorship of Wikipedia, data breaches at the tax office, and a student cracking the government's internet porn filter.
Civic Technology on the Front Lines
Talk given at the National Association of Government Web Professionals about civic technology on the front lines.
MOOCs and ubiquitous computing
This document discusses trends in technology and higher education from 2013 to 2020. It predicts that mobile phones will become the primary internet access point for most people due to increasing computing power and low prices. Tablet computers and MOOCs are expected to be adopted within one year. Jobs predicted that while personal computers will still be used, most people will not need them. Touchscreens, motion controls, and mobile apps are seen as interface transformations. The document discusses many ongoing and potential impacts of technology on higher education such as open educational resources, automation impacts, and challenges of economic and demographic changes.
LECTURE 6 - Cyberculture
The document discusses several topics related to democracy and the internet, including how electronic technologies can impact private spaces and democratic rights, how online communities like Second Life and social media can promote activism and discussion, and debates around public versus private spheres in digital spaces. It also examines issues of surveillance, control of online spaces, and the potential for the internet to reinvigorate public discourse.

1. The document discusses the rise of a "Fifth Estate" in networked societies, enabled by the internet, which allows people to network and share information in ways that increase social accountability.
2. Previously, the "Fourth Estate" referred to the press. Now, the internet enables a Fifth Estate by allowing networked individuals to directly participate in holding institutions accountable in business, government, politics, and media.
3. Evidence from surveys in multiple countries over time supports the conception of a Fifth Estate, as the internet empowers networked individuals and collaborative organizations to enhance accountability beyond traditional institutions.
Special Report - The World Is Flat
Thomas Loren Friedman is an American journalist and author known for writing on foreign affairs and globalization. In his book "The World Is Flat", Friedman argues that 10 forces have converged in recent decades to flatten the global economic playing field. These forces include the fall of the Berlin Wall, the rise of the internet and technologies like Netscape, outsourcing, offshoring, supply chaining, and wireless networks. Friedman asserts that the combination of these 10 forces, along with complementary software, internet proliferation, and developing countries opening their markets, created perfect conditions for the rapid globalization seen today.
How mass collaboration_changes_everything
The document discusses how mass collaboration has changed business and commerce through the rise of Web 2.0 technologies. It outlines ideas from books such as "Wikinomics", "We-Think", and "The Long Tail" about how the internet now allows users to easily share and upload content as well as provide feedback. This new dynamic gives consumers more choice and power as they can become suppliers themselves through collaborating online. Sites like Facebook and YouTube demonstrate how the internet has unleashed people's creativity and given them new ways to share their creations with others.

Transformed media landscape - and how we can make best use of it
The document discusses how the media landscape has been transformed by the internet and new technologies. Key points include:
1. The internet has created a new form of mass-self communication that is interactive, horizontal and allows many-to-many communication in real-time.
2. Web 2.0 and social media have enabled a new form of civil society through ubiquitous communication and sharing of images, sounds and ideas.
3. Commons-based peer production has created a new economic model where large projects are completed through coordinated creative effort, often without traditional hierarchy or financial compensation.
Creating Value in an Era of Exponential Change Learning Series
How is your organization competing to win, in a world where access to anyone or anything is constantly available and automatically recommended? Join Brian Vellmure, Principal/Founder of Innovantage LLC to better understand how you can help your organization and communities winâwin membership, win engagement, and win your usersâ time, energy and attention. Assuming the current trajectory, we soon will have an interconnected, global network of people, machines, robots, appliances, cameras, smartphones and devices we have not even conceived yet. A faster and richly connected Internet continues to outpace our individual comprehension of how to leverage new technologyâbut will we remain captive to an old way of thinking? In a networked economy, the concept of competing and winning may be outdated. Or perhaps itâs simply the methods, measurements and outcomes that have become old-fashioned. The better question may be: How will you continually create value in a constantly evolving world?
The Digital Divide Orange
The document discusses the "digital divide" in the United States, where there are disparities in access to computers and the internet along socioeconomic lines. It notes that households earning over $75k are much more likely to own computers and have internet access than lower-income households. It also mentions differences in access along racial and geographic divides. The document explores some of the factors contributing to the digital divide and argues that while issues of access will always exist to some degree, over time markets will expand to provide more universal access as technologies become cheaper and more widely adopted.

Friedman defines a "flat world" as a global, web-enabled playing field that allows for collaboration across boundaries in real time. This flattening has occurred through various technological and economic developments that have lowered barriers preventing the flow of ideas, knowledge and work across borders. However, some critics argue that globalization has increased disparities between nations rather than creating true assimilation, and that economic activity remains clustered in certain regions, making the world "spiky" rather than flat.

Public engagement. Public empowerment.
The document discusses the potential for governments to embrace new technologies and social media to become more transparent, engage citizens, and empower the public. It argues that governments need to move beyond just informing citizens and recognize that the public has valuable knowledge to contribute. While some governments have started to engage online, much more progress is needed to fully realize the possibilities of openness, participation, and collaboration that new technologies enable.

KCB207 ASSIGNMENT 2 n7556608
The document discusses the need for further research on regulating new media. It provides examples of how professionals like pilots are using new media devices like iPads in their work. New media allows for real-time sharing of information on social networks like Facebook and Twitter. This real-time aspect needs to be considered when discussing regulation. New media was also used to coordinate events in international crises such as protests in Libya and riots in London, raising questions about who would enforce regulations across borders. More research is needed to properly address the complex issues around new media before regulations can be established.
Social Media: what's the big idea
The document discusses how communication technologies have changed how and where conversations take place over time, from physical marketplaces 200 years ago to online platforms today. It notes that as of 2009, Facebook had over 200 million users and was the 5th largest country by population, showing how social media was beginning to impact communication. It emphasizes that technologies should aim to enable relevant social experiences and not be the focus, and that meaningful communication is about the interactions, not the devices themselves.
The brief history of social media
The document provides a brief history of social media from its origins in the 1970s to the present day. It traces the development of early systems like BBS and AOL in the 1970s-1980s, the creation of the World Wide Web in 1989, and the launch of early social platforms like GeoCities, SixDegrees, and Friendster in the 1990s-early 2000s. It then discusses the rise of major modern platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter from 2004 onward, with Facebook reaching 400 million users by 2010 and over 1 billion by 2013. Across its sections, the document outlines the key people, platforms and milestones that helped social media evolve from a niche online phenomenon into an integral part of daily

The document summarizes personality traits of Megan, Carolyn, and Emily as being positive, negative, active, passive, and withdrawn. It also discusses Republican foreign and domestic policies from 1966 and quotes from Ronald Reagan regarding taking far-right positions to get elected and prioritizing national security over politics.
Democracyandcapitalism
The document contains descriptions and photographs of industrial sites, residential areas, and workers from the early 20th century United States. Some of the topics covered include Carnegie steel mills in Pennsylvania from 1900-1915, Carnegie libraries in Alabama and Alabama, city streets and backyards in Chicago from around 1901 and 1910, meat packinghouses in Chicago from around 1909, young miners in Pennsylvania from 1911, adolescent female textile workers in Georgia, young cigar makers, mill workers in a textile factory, child newsboys in cities, Rockefeller dormitories at Brown University and Vassar College, a family and neighbors sewing late into the night, and oyster shuckers working long hours in a canning factory.
Judiciarynotes
The document discusses the judicial branch of the United States government and provides guiding questions about its constitutional foundations, organization, process for cases reaching the Supreme Court, role in shaping public policy, approaches to judicial activism vs restraint, and selection of justices and judges. It also provides a hypothetical scenario about a law requiring non-native citizens to leave the country that prompts the reader to consider its constitutionality.
Judiciary
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Great Migration
The Great Migration from the rural South to urban cities in the North led to increased urbanization and the growth of cities with new skyscrapers. This caused the mass migration of African Americans from the South seeking job opportunities in the North, resulting in the formation of ghettos. During this time, there was also a rise in African American awareness, power, and culture as seen through the Harlem Renaissance movement in music, art, poetry, and writers like Langston Hughes.

Dual Federalism 2
Under Chief Justice John Marshall from 1801-1835, the US Supreme Court established that the federal government has broad powers over the states through important cases like McCulloch v. Maryland and Gibbons v. Ogden. These rulings gave the federal government supremacy in areas like chartering a national bank and regulating interstate commerce. However, tensions remained between federalism and states' rights, particularly over the issue of slavery, and ultimately led to the Civil War as the southern states fought to preserve their view of state sovereignty.
Vietnam.Honors
The document provides background information on the origins and escalation of US involvement in the Vietnam War between 1940-1968. It discusses the colonial origins of the conflict, the rise of Vietnamese independence movements, and the increasing American economic and military support for France and later South Vietnam due to Cold War politics and the Domino Theory. Key events summarized include the US backing France until their 1954 defeat, the Vietnam being divided at the 17th parallel, the growth of the Viet Cong insurgency in the late 1950s, the Gulf of Tonkin incident leading to major US bombing campaigns and troop deployments in 1965-1967, and the Tet Offensive of 1968.
Images Of Jim Crow2
The document summarizes images from the Jim Crow era that depict racial segregation and inequality in various parts of the United States during the early-to-mid 20th century. Some of the images show segregated theaters and schools that separated black and white children. Others depict living quarters for migrant workers and "juke joints" that were only intended for black patrons. One image shows black children using a water pump while white children at a nearby school had access to modern facilities. The document conveys how racial segregation was enforced in public spaces like theaters, schools, fairs and communities during the Jim Crow period of American history.

Big data, a city of things and civic innovation
1) Open data and open government initiatives in the 2010s expanded access to data and information from all levels of government and new sources.
2) This led to innovative uses of data by citizens, journalists, and civic hackers to create new tools and insights on issues like public health, transportation, and more.
3) However, challenges remain around data literacy, privacy, and ensuring open data benefits all groups in society not just those who are already empowered. Increased transparency through open data must be accompanied by efforts to bridge digital and data divides.
Moldova Open Data Journalism Workshop
In the 2010s, open data and open source technologies are connecting people and changing everything. Governments and organizations are making more data and content openly available, empowering citizens and journalists to analyze information and develop new applications. However, ensuring privacy and addressing data illiteracy remain ongoing challenges to realize the full potential of openness.

Evolution of Social Media and its effects on Knowledge Organisation
There has been a lot of hype around social media, social networks and social business, much of it unhelpful in understanding what this is all about. For some people, âsocialâ will always mean frivolity and time wasting. For others, social media just means marketing and communications.
The evolution of social media over the past several years has made it easier than ever before to find, connect and engage with âexpertsâ and people with similar interests. Enlightened organisations have recognised that investment in social technologies and (most importantly) the organisational change required in order to nurture and embed a collaborative culture, can overcome the limitations of siloâd structures that have traditionally inhibited information flows and opportunities for innovation.
In a broader context, the pervasive and ubiquitous availability of social media in almost all aspects of daily life, from the way we communicate, get information, buy and sell, travel, live and learn is adding to the pressure on organisations to provide a more porous interface between internal (behind the firewall) and external services. Knowledge workers are increasingly making their own decisions on what tools, products and services that they need to work more effectively and will become increasingly disaffected if these are not available within the work environment.
This presentation looks at industry trends on how social media and social technologies are changing the way that we generate, organise and consume knowledge, and how this is driving emergent digital literacies for knowledge workers.

Friedman defines a "flat world" as one with an open global playing field enabled by web technologies that allows for collaboration across boundaries. Key factors that flattened the world include the end of the Cold War, viral marketing, workflow software, open source software, outsourcing, offshoring, supply chains, insourcing, and search engines. However, some economists argue that the world remains uneven with large disparities between nations and concentrated economic activity in certain cities and regions rather than an evenly flat world.
Social Media and Min of Health Bhutan
Social media allows for new forms of communication and information sharing that were not possible with traditional media. It enables collaboration and participation on a global scale. Key aspects include the ability to form connections more easily, develop multifaceted online identities, and share content through blogs, wikis, podcasts and video platforms like YouTube. The spread of social media empowers individuals and small groups to learn from many teachers and maximize their relationships in networked communities.

The document discusses key events and issues related to US involvement in World War I:
- It outlines Wilson's initial policy of neutrality and how it was undermined by events like the sinking of the Lusitania and unrestricted submarine warfare.
- America entered the war in 1917 after the Zimmerman Telegram and Wilson's war message to Congress arguing that "the world must be made safe for democracy."
- At the 1919 Paris Peace Conference, Wilson promoted his 14 Points and ideal of self-determination, but the resulting Treaty of Versailles reflected realpolitik concerns of allies like Clemenceau more than Wilson's vision.
- The Senate rejected US entry into the League of Nations due
Wellman.halfthesky
Margaret Wellman is a human rights activist who co-founded the Prajwala Organization in India. She works to increase government awareness of sex trafficking, rehabilitate rescued children, and create rescue policies through collaboration between citizen groups and the government. Some of her strategies include creating transit homes and lobbying for a comprehensive rescue policy. She has rehabilitated over 3,800 girls and helped over 5,000 children through a school for children of sex workers. However, making progress at the local level is not enough and she still faces challenges like violence and threats.
Russianleaders
The document summarizes major events and leaders in Russian history from 1917 to present day. It discusses Lenin establishing the Bolshevik revolution and USSR in 1917. It then discusses Khrushchev as the only Soviet leader peacefully removed from office and his policies of de-Stalinization and economic expansion. Gorbachev is mentioned for his policies of perestroika, glasnost, democritization, and impact on foreign policy that ultimately led to the dissolution of the USSR. Putin is summarized as consolidating control after the crisis under Yeltsin and restoring the Russian economy and international relationships.
The Spanish American War
The document is a collection of political cartoons, headlines, and sheet music from 1896-1906 relating to the Spanish-American War and its aftermath. It includes cartoons depicting Uncle Sam and Cuba/Columbia from the Chicago Record Herald (1901) and Cleveland Leader (1903), as well as headlines from the New York Journal between 1898-1899 about the war and its conclusion.
Usroleinworld
The document discusses a political cartoon about the U.S. role in the world. It asks what issue the cartoonist is addressing, what persuasive tools they use, and what their opinion on the issue is. However, no political cartoon is described, so the questions cannot be answered without seeing the actual cartoon image and analyzing its visual elements and symbolism.
Progressives.0910
The document provides background information on the Progressive Era. It discusses the causes of progressivism, including new political ideas like socialism and new forms of journalism like muckraking. It then asks guiding questions about how progressives reformed society and the challenges of preserving democracy and economic opportunity. Specific reformers like Jane Addams and their work, such as establishing Hull House, are discussed. Child labor is used as a case study to examine the goals and strategies of reformers and the outcomes of their efforts on both the state and national levels. The roles of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson in transforming the presidency and expanding the federal government's power and responsibilities are analyzed.
Themes
This document discusses several themes in comparative government including governing the economy, the democratic idea, and the struggle for power. It questions how governments can best measure and protect their economies, examines the recent trend toward democracy and challenges it faces, and explores issues around inclusion, representation, and the distribution of political power and resources.
Judiciary.Honors
The document discusses several aspects of the American judiciary, including its constitutional origins, organization, processes for cases reaching the Supreme Court, and the power of judges. It begins with guiding questions about the court system and democracy. It then outlines how the judiciary was established in Article III and the Federalist Papers' view of it having neither force nor will. It describes the dual court system and paths cases take to the Supreme Court. It analyzes the power of judges derived from interpreting laws and reviewing constitutionality.
Dual Federalism 2
After the Civil War, problems emerged between state and national governments, causing the Supreme Court to determine which issues states could control and which fell under national government power, known as dual federalism. The Court interpreted the commerce clause narrowly, limiting the national government's power and preserving state control over many issues. Over the 19th and 20th centuries, several important cases challenged this system, including United States v. E.C. Knight Company, Hammer v. Dagenhart, and Lochner v. New York.
New Federalism
The document discusses federalism in the United States from the 1970s to present. It states that during the 1970s, influenced by republican ideology, power shifted from the federal government to the states through policies like block grants. However, more recently federal control has increased in some areas like education standards under Obama. The pendulum of federal versus state power has swung back and forth over time.
Federalism Project
John Marshall had a significant influence on the Supreme Court and federalism through key cases during his tenure as Chief Justice from 1801 to 1835. In McCulloch v. Maryland, Marshall established the doctrine of implied powers, finding the federal government had implied powers beyond those explicitly enumerated. In Gibbons v. Ogden, Marshall broadened Congress's power to regulate interstate commerce. His rulings strengthened the power of the federal government and limited the power of the states, representing the Federalist view of a stronger national government over state governments.
Marshall And Dual Fed
Under Chief Justice John Marshall from 1801-1835, the US Supreme Court established that the federal government has broad powers that are superior to those of the individual states. In McCulloch v. Maryland, the Court ruled Congress could charter a national bank and states could not tax federal institutions. In Gibbons v. Ogden, the Court found Congress had power to regulate interstate commerce, preventing states from granting monopolies. However, states' rights advocates believed in "dual federalism" with equal state and national powers, coming into conflict with the federal government prior to the American Civil War over issues of federalism and slavery.
Federalism Timeline Ppt Lindsey Abbi Zoe Emily
During the 1930s, FDR attempted to expand federal power through his Court Packing Plan and New Deal programs. This led to a redefinition of federalism as a system of "cooperative federalism" where the state and federal governments worked together on issues like the economy. The Supreme Court then began justifying expanded federal power by allowing for greater federal intervention in state affairs based on the economic crisis overwhelming states and regulating interstate commerce. This shift continued into the 1960s during the Civil Rights Movement as the federal government used its authority over interstate commerce to prohibit racial discrimination.
After The Civil War
After the Civil War, three amendments were passed to address slavery and voting rights: the 13th banned slavery; the 14th protected equal treatment under law; and the 15th gave black men the right to vote. However, the federal government struggled to expand its power in the face of industrialization, immigration, urbanization and Supreme Court decisions that favored states' rights over federal authority on issues like child labor laws and antitrust regulations. The court limited the federal government's power through its interpretations, preventing the expansion of national power intended by postwar amendments.
Newfed
Ronald Reagan introduced the concept of "New Federalism" which shifted power from the national government to state governments. He believed that state governments were better able to address individuals' needs than the federal government. Supporters argued that giving states more power allows people to have policies that better fit their preferences, while reducing government control. Critics argued that it could result in unequal rights for citizens across states.

Constitutionalfoundations
The document discusses constitutional foundations and pathways of action for shaping law and policy in the United States. It provides examples of how Americans have tried to shape the debate over abortion through various pathways such as elections, lobbying, courts, grassroots efforts, and cultural change. It also notes that stability in government relies on factors such as a broadly accepted framework, a stable political culture, and a variety of ways for citizens to achieve policy changes. Finally, it discusses how the actions of Tysheoma Bethea help illustrate why the US Constitution has lasted so long by providing a blueprint for over 234 years of government.

This document discusses the rise of television advertising as a campaign tool in the 1952 presidential election between Dwight Eisenhower and Adlai Stevenson. It provides quotes from Stevenson criticizing TV advertising of political candidates and Roger Ailes asserting the importance of television for political campaigns. Students are prompted to analyze campaign ads from Eisenhower and Stevenson on style, performance and message. They are also asked to consider how candidates used TV and what the ads suggest about issues facing the nation in 1952 and differences between candidates. Finally, students are instructed to compare older and more modern political ads in groups to discuss how the medium of television advertising has evolved.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
