    It's great that people now have a chance to work for 16 hours or more voluntarily but it's disgusting that companies will take advantage of that. Perhaps, rather than co-hercing people to go to tescos, they should encourage them to pick up a few shifts at local charities. They're always glad to get extra

  • Anonymity is a concept that has existed throughout history. We all know of the anonymous letter, anonymous donations to charity and the anonymous tips to police. In every case, there is no connection between the message and an identifiable individual. The message stands alone. The advantage of anonymity is that the sender is without responsibility, or rather, they are only responsible for themselves. This can be beneficial if one does not desire the attention that a controversial point of view, large donation, or revelation of important information would bring. Anonymity gives security, freedom and a lack of responsibility. Complete anonymity is difficult, indeed almost impossible, to maintain in the real world - at least if we are to interact with our surroundings.
  • On the Internet, real anonymity can be a viable option for the free exchange of ideas.
  • When no one can tell who is speaking, it is difficult, if not impossible, to connect these words with any one person. Newcomers to this culture will often encounter a harsher tone and a macabre sense of humor that can be difficult to understand. This is what emerges in the absence of an ability to tie people to their actions and words. This anonymous image board culture has spread from Japan to the Western World. On certain image board websites, users are allowed the option of being identified only as "anonymous." And it is precisely on these sites the first timid steps in "Project Chanology", a campaign to dismantle the Scientology organization, were taken.

  • Everyone can have their own reason for wishing to participate in Project Chanology's fight against Scientology. These reasons vary from the desire to save people from brainwashing and financial ruin, to the sheer unadulterated hilarity and the lulz. The only common ground that participants of Project Chanology share is that they wish dismantle the Scientology enterprise by entirely legal and peaceful means.

  • The public world has since become less urgent, more remote, and more tainted.
  • face-to-face civic activity has dropped as groups with local chapters have given way to groups that count as members everyone who sends in a check in response to a direct-mail appeal.
  • The important question is the share of income that Americans devote to charity; and by that measure, charitable giving has dropped sharply

  • He acknowledges that there has been growth in support groups, but he insists that these are concerned with their own members' psychological well-being rather than with any civic interests
  • The rise in volunteering among young people is just about the only data in Bowling Alone that provides a basis for hope about the future.
  • One reason for the decline in face-to-face sociability may be that Americans can now sustain relationships with people whom they do not regularly see face-to-face.

    This difference in causal lineage between civic activity and other social activity seems critical to me, though Putnam seems to forget it when he summarizes his causal analysis a chapter later. There he bundles civic engagement together with sociability, and concludes that half of the decline in "social capital" is due to generational turnover, another quarter of it is due to television, and the remainder is the consequence of time pressures and money pressures and suburbanization.
