The best art is born from democracy - 0 views

  •  
    An interesting article. I believe this is true. Think of the wide range of art in the world today. This also has a great deal to due with technology and the ability to share images, of course. Democracy itself has allowed art to blossom and allowed the visual expression to become quite a personal thing.

EBSCOhost: Radical deinstitutionalization: Rousseau versus Freud. - 0 views

  •  
    The book from which we read the discourse by Rousseau mentioned how his ideas had a substantial influence on psychological thought. This article from the Journal of Mental Health describes how his ideas about the natural man compare with Freud's and how both apply to whether or not state mental hospitals should exist. Very interesting.

    One of the great virtues that the French Revolution promoted was tolerance. If the French society was to follow through with its contractual obligations, it would be rising up in rebellion against its government about now.

Should We Fear the Digital Economy Bill? - 0 views

  • This indicates that no proof of copyright infringement must exist in order to block a Web site, just an assumption that a violation has occurred or will occur. Such broad language means that Web sites large and small, from YouTube to your next door neighbor’s blog, are in danger if accusations of copyright infringement are made against them.
  • Without any obligation to provide proof of wrongdoing, the bill creates the potential for abuse and…dare we say it…censorship.
  • The other side of the argument is, of course, that entertainment companies and copyright holders lose billions of dollars due to online piracy and illegal filesharing of copyrighted works.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • People and companies that make a living on content and intellectual property have a very real need to protect their investments and creative assets. Measures such as DRM and ongoing legal battles don’t seem to have slowed down online piracy.
  • But are such extreme measures like the Digital Economy Bill really necessary to fight copyright infringement? Should the British government be allowed limitless power to block Web sites and Internet users?

      Spot on! Technology really is changing the world, and the sharing of ideas all over it.
  • Globalization has shaped our era. Technology has minimized distances; ideas, values and news cross borders quicker than ever before. New definitions and complex debates over our identities as international and national citizens have arisen as a result. As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. puts it: “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
