This document discusses how social media became the main source of information about the Israel-Gaza conflict due to restrictions on traditional media access. It provides examples of YouTube videos, tweets, blogs and online games used by both sides to share information and perspectives with the global public. The document also examines how social media can function as a public forum and tool for political activism and debates issues around objectivity and narrative framing in user-generated content from conflicts.
11.wiki leaks-an enigma of information sensation sans accountabilityAlexander Decker
This document analyzes WikiLeaks publications in The Hindu newspaper from March to April 2011 regarding India. It finds that WikiLeaks failed to significantly influence Indian politics or set the agenda. Initially, publications on cash-for-votes caused an uproar, but opposition parties later dismissed cables as subjective opinions. Politicians grew indifferent and saw no direction from WikiLeaks. The study examines the heat generated and discussions prompted in India. It aimed to see how seriously politics responded and if perceptions of the US or government changed due to WikiLeaks, finding little tangible impact.

Initially, publications on cash-for-votes caused an uproar, but opposition parties later dismissed cables as subjective opinions. Politicians grew indifferent and saw no direction from WikiLeaks. The study examines the heat generated and discussions prompted in India. It aimed to assess political and academic responses, and any impact on India's views of the US or ruling party. Content analysis categorized publications by response and subject/relations to gauge influence. The document questions assumptions about the objectivity and truthfulness of US officials who authored the cables.
This course examines the role of technology in political activism. It discusses how social media has impacted authoritarian regimes and whether it can enable long-term activist campaigns. Key issues include social media's ability to quickly report events and organize protests, though setting up blogs only helps if people post despite risks of arrest. The impact of social media is less significant in the US than transitioning countries. Case studies of specific tools and campaigns will be compared to analyze their affordances and limitations within different political contexts.
What Could the Biden Administration Do to Defeat COVID-19: Lessons from Asia ...Elton Sherwin
I am available to present on Zoom (Elton@EltonSherwin.com)
America has had 50 times more deaths, per capita, than the Pacific-rim democracies.
What did they do?
What can we learn from these Asian democracies that have defeated COVID-19?
I read 100s of reports from South Korea, Taiwan and Japan and concluded…
The Pacific rim democracies that have contained major outbreaks of COVID-19 have taken 12 actions that together have proven amazingly effective.
This document provides an overview of the conspiracy theory known as Project Blue Beam. It claims Project Blue Beam was a secret NASA venture aiming to use advanced technology like holograms to create images of aliens and religious figures in the sky. This would allegedly be done in four steps: breakdown of social structures, fake UFO sightings, transmission of emergency regional languages, and a response from world leaders to unite humanity under a new global religion and government. The document discusses related topics like false flags, earthquake data, religion, and China's experimentation with projecting images onto clouds. It aims to analyze claims about Project Blue Beam but notes its unofficial folklore status remains unproven.
Whistleblowing and radical transparency on the internet have a long history but changing contexts. While the internet allows bypassing journalists, whistleblowers themselves have become the story through smear campaigns. Maintaining anonymity while revealing information is challenging as governments and corporations work to reassert control over information flows online through market dominance and security policies.
The document discusses how social media and the internet have enabled protests and revolutions around the world. It describes several instances where individuals' deaths were captured on video and spread online, galvanizing movements in Tunisia, Iran, London, and the US. It also discusses instances where governments have shut down internet access in an attempt to suppress protests, like in Egypt and at BART stations in San Francisco, but this tended to further energize protesters. The document argues that access to communication tools is important for protecting free speech and the ability to organize.

This document provides an introduction to the journal article "Maritime Slavery" by Philip D. Morgan. It discusses how maritime slavery involved the movement of enslaved people as commodities across oceans, but also the roles that slaves played as sailors, pilots, cooks, and other maritime jobs. It explores how the maritime world provided some opportunities for slaves, such as potential wages, literacy, and more autonomy compared to plantation work, but also entailed risks and abuse from racial prejudice. The introduction sets the stage for examining slavery's role within diverse maritime contexts, including the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.
The document discusses future trends and research challenges in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). It begins by providing background on WSNs and their applications. Recent advances that have enabled new applications are then described, including in areas like localization, military uses, industrial monitoring, traffic management, structural health, and agriculture. Future trends discussed include cognitive sensing, spectrum management, underwater acoustic sensor systems, and coordination in heterogeneous networks. The document concludes by stating time critical applications are an emerging area for WSNs.
This document discusses various topics related to ethics including:
1) Acts of good samaritan conduct, vigilantism, and civil disobedience and whether they violate ethical standards or laws.
2) Examples are given of individuals who committed criminal acts to help others or get justice.
3) The history of civil rights movements and protests around issues like segregation and slavery are summarized.
4) Several cases of professionals violating ethical standards through criminal misconduct are mentioned.
I developed this for a breakfast meeting of Imagination Coast, a regional collaborative seeking to advance an innovation agenda in and around Monterey Bay, CA.

The document provides an overview of using computer technology and the internet for teaching, including sample class home pages, benefits of having an online class presence, how the web works, recommended web servers like Blackboard, examples of online class materials, tools for class communication, web-based assessment options, and using digital video and other multimedia. Blackboard is highlighted as the preferred course management system at UIC for its ease of use and integrated features.
This document provides a literature review on the role of social media during conflicts. It discusses how social media was used during the Arab Spring uprisings to spread information and build online communities. Previous research found that social media helped magnify protester voices and assist in overcoming barriers, but the will of protesters was most important. The document then examines how social media impacted citizen journalism and the ability to share perspectives outside of mainstream media narratives. It reviews literature on both the positive and negative impacts social media can have on social movements. Overall, the literature establishes that social media is an important tool but not the sole reason for protests, and that face-to-face interaction remains very important.
CHAPTER-8. Contemporary world 1st year collegejhijee5
1. Media has played a key role in globalization by allowing the spread of ideas and communication over long distances. Spoken language evolved 400,000 years ago, while the printing press was invented in China in 800 CE, accelerating the spread of information.
2. Modern media like television, the internet, and social media have further increased global connections in both positive and negative ways. They have been used for propaganda by governments and political manipulation through fake accounts and trolling.
3. Soft power, or influencing others without direct coercion, can also spread through popular culture. Countries like Japan promote their culture and interests abroad through things like anime, music, idols, and the Olympics to increase tourism and prestige.

Clicktivism, or online activism through social media, has become a popular tool for facilitating social change and awareness of causes. While it allows easy and widespread spread of information, some critics argue it requires little real involvement. Studies show clicktivism can translate to offline participation, and social media campaigns like #BringBackOurGirls and the Ice Bucket Challenge raised awareness of issues, though clicking alone may not solve problems. Effective activism requires a hybrid approach using both online and offline tools and continued engagement after initial online attention dies down.
Emp Tech Q2 Week 2 ICT AS PLATFORM OF CHANGE.pptxGLICERIOPENUECO
The document discusses the role of information and communication technology (ICT) as a platform for social change in the Philippines. It provides examples such as Cardinal Sin's call on Radyo Veritas urging Filipinos to oppose the Marcos regime, leading to the 1986 People Power Revolution. The growth of the 2001 EDSA II protest through text messaging is also noted. The 2013 Million People March against misuse of the Priority Development Assistance Fund leveraged Facebook and petitions on Change.org. Google's People Finder database helped locate relatives after Typhoon Yolanda. Change.org allows anyone to create online petitions.
The document summarizes a presentation about citizen journalism and human rights issues. It examines three case studies: the 2004 South Asian tsunami, human rights abuses in India's northeast, and the Palestinian crisis. Ordinary citizens adopted the role of journalists in these crises to provide immediate, first-hand updates. Citizen reporting provided a more human perspective and raised awareness of issues. Several websites and blogs are cited as examples of citizen journalism platforms that informed people and supported advocacy around these crises and human rights issues.
This document discusses the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in facilitating social change in the Philippines. It provides examples such as the People Power Revolution in 1986, EDSA Dos in 2001, and the Million People March in 2013, where ICT like radio broadcasts, text messaging, and social media mobilized large numbers of people. It also describes Change.org as an online petition platform that has helped address various social issues.
Offline Activism - How successful activism facilitate social mediaWilson Fung
The document discusses how online activism and social media can facilitate successful offline activism. It provides examples of how the Kony 2012 campaign and Ice Bucket Challenge used social media to raise global awareness and mobilize millions of people. However, clicktivism alone is often not enough and must be backed by real-world actions like protests and meetings with politicians. The Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong also demonstrates how social media allowed protesters to share information in real-time and coordinate their actions despite police presence. For activism to be truly effective, online campaigns need to motivate participants to get involved through offline demonstrations and advocacy.
This document summarizes how new communication technologies have fueled political protests by enabling anonymous organization and transparency. It discusses how social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube helped coordinate the 2011 Egyptian revolution that overthrew Hosni Mubarak. It also explores how these technologies have empowered whistleblowers and activists to expose government and corporate secrets, arguing that institutions must respond with transparency to maintain credibility in the digital age. Overall, the document examines how new media has transferred power to organized groups and given a platform to previously isolated voices, changing expectations around transparency.

The case for integrating crisis response with social media American Red Cross
Social media has changed expectations around crisis response by allowing people to directly request help online. This has created challenges for emergency responders to monitor and respond to these requests in a timely manner. In response, volunteer groups have formed using technologies like Ushahidi to aggregate crisis information from social media and map it to help coordinate response efforts. Events like Crisis Camp and Random Hacks of Kindness bring technologists together to develop open-source tools to help address humanitarian crises. The Haiti earthquake saw many of these collaborative efforts unite to rapidly develop applications and share information to assist response and relief operations.
The document defines media and discusses the role of technology in media. It provides examples of extremists using the internet to spread propaganda and terror by posting videos of beheadings. While the internet provides a platform to spread messages more widely, it did not create extremism or terrorism, but rather offered an additional medium. Money also plays an important role in media by shifting power to owners, prioritizing commercial success over disseminating diverse ideas. In India, print media plays a vital role in democracy by influencing governance through news coverage and editorials.
Speed in reporting through social media can both help and hinder providing context to news events. In the Israel-Palestine conflict, graphic images on social media provided context that challenged pro-Israel narratives. However, in Ukraine, social media initially provided a one-sided view that failed to acknowledge complexities. Real-time reporting risks disconnected snippets lacking analysis, but can also introduce new perspectives when pre-existing contexts are challenged. Journalists must verify information, seek dissenting voices, and understand motivations of social media sources to provide balanced coverage in a timely manner.
The document discusses various topics relating to peace and conflict prevention including diplomacy, development cooperation, international aid organizations, and the role of civil society. It provides examples of peace agreements signed in Kenya and between Peru and Ecuador. It also summarizes the work of major international humanitarian organizations like UNICEF, the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and others in providing aid and assistance to people affected by conflicts and natural disasters. The role of internet activism and online civic participation in political changes is discussed in the context of the Egyptian revolution of 2011. The Nobel Peace Prize and calls for reducing arms and promoting peace are also briefly mentioned.
The document discusses social media activism and examines case studies to evaluate its effectiveness. It defines social media activism as using social platforms to champion causes. While some critics argue offline activism is more impactful, examples like the marriage equality referendum in Ireland found social media helped engage young voters and shift perceptions to support LGBT rights. The document also explores environmental campaigns and the Arab Spring, noting social media was effective at raising awareness but usually one catalyst among others for change. Overall, the impact of social media activism depends on how effectiveness is measured.
Women of Egyptian revolution- Credemus Associates-Jamila Boughelaf
Women played a crucial role in the Egyptian revolution through both their physical participation in protests and their use of social media. While women faced obstacles like gender discrimination and lack of political representation, many emerged as leaders of the revolution by organizing demonstrations online and in person. Social media helped spread awareness of the movement and connect women internally and internationally, though post-revolution women's voices have receded. Ongoing challenges include increasing women's political participation and challenging social norms, but new technologies and united activism can help advance women's rights and role in society.

The Expropriation of Digital Labor and What to Do About ItThe New School
The document discusses the expropriation of digital labor and potential solutions. It notes that billions of people participate online without realizing they are generating value, such as by generating metadata, gold farming, or improving search engines through clicks. This digital labor is often exploited by large platforms. Potential responses include promoting data portability, supporting non-profit platforms and free/open source software, unionization of digital workers, and hacks or artistic resistance against platforms.
This document provides information about the first conference in a series on the politics of digital media called "The Internet as Playground and Factory". The conference was held from November 12-14, 2009 at The New School in New York City and brought together about 100 activists, scholars, artists and experts to discuss how hundreds of millions of people make their life energy available to a handful of businesses through social networking and other online activities. Preceding events addressed changing concepts of labor and crowdsourcing. Future conferences will focus on themes like online education and international Internet cultures and activism.
Wisdom of the Crowd vs. Collective Intelligence.The New School
The document summarizes the topics covered in weeks 5-15 of a course on social media. Week 5 focuses on the difference between the wisdom of crowds and collective intelligence, discussing how crowds can produce intelligent results through decentralized and independent judgments. Week 6 covers participation levels in social media, noting that while the percentage of participatory users is growing, most people only consume content rather than contribute. Week 14 discusses issues around ethics, labor, and control of user-generated content in social networks and online communities.
Week # 2 Social Media: Histories of the InternetThe New School
The document provides an overview of the history and development of the Internet from the 1940s through the 1980s. It discusses early computer networks like ARPANET and key developments like the creation of email in 1971. Important concepts in networking like packet switching were developed in the 1960s. Standards like TCP/IP emerged in the 1970s allowing for greater connectivity. Bulletin board systems and early online communities in the 1970s-80s helped popularize networking before the commercial internet. The document covers many pioneers and innovations that paved the way for the interconnected world we see today.
The document outlines the syllabus and schedule for a 15-week course on participation literacy. The course covers topics like blogging, social networking, sharing media, and collaboration. It is divided into 6 sections: Conversation, Sharing, Collective Action, Attention, Collaboration, and Social Bookmarking. Each week focuses on readings, assignments, and group projects related to emerging technologies and participation online. Requirements include weekly blog responses, assignments on tools like RSS and Twitter, and a group project in Second Life.
The document discusses various motivations for participation on the Social Web based on a survey conducted by the author. The survey found that the most common activities were reading, browsing photos, watching videos, and commenting. Other frequent motivations included communication, sharing, self-expression, collaboration, access to information, relaxation, and finding entertainment. The document also discusses how participation can satisfy needs for group belonging, social capital, emotional support, and contributing to the greater good.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

He is unfazed when he hears that the entry on Israel mentions the word quot;occupationquot; nine times, whereas
the entry on the Palestinian People mentions quot;terrorquot; only once. quot;It means only one thing: Israelis should
be more active on Wikipedia. Instead of blaming it, they should go on the site much more, and try and
change it.quot;
