information inbalance Explanation: The following example seems to describe a situation applicable to your context: Ideas and knowledge, broadcast in the form of information and then subject to further development, have always been at the root of human progress. The new technologies enable the distribution of ever-increasing volumes of information with a growing lack of differentiation. Unlimited access and the ability to choose have, as a result, become decisive factors for success. Material differences on the global level and non-material/educational differences on the regional level give rise to an information inbalance which, in turn, provokes the formation of a two-tier society. How are power relationships shaped in the "knowledge-based" society? saluti Paola L M Reference: http://www.isc-symposium.org/isc/31stSymposium/theme6.htm |
