Download or read book Identity Security and Democracy written by Emilio Mordini and published by IOS Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people think of personal identification as only part of the security/surveillance apparatus. This is likely to be an oversimplification, which largely misrepresents the reality. 'Personal identity' means two separate concepts, namely that an individual belongs to specific categories and also that this individual is distinguished by other persons and understood as one. In other words, there are two different aspects involved in personal recognition: distinguishing between individuals and distinguishing between sets of people. The latter is likely to be the real issue. Dictatorships of any kind and totalitarian regimes have always ruled by categorizing people and by creating different classes of subjects. When rules want their subjects to humiliate themselves or their fellows, they create categories of people or exploit existing categories. From social and political points of view this allows a process known as 'pseudospeciation' to be produced. Pseudospeciation is a process which turns social and cultural differences into biological diversities. It promotes cooperation within social groups, overpowering the selfish interests of individuals in favor of collective interests, yet it also inhibits cooperation between groups, and it fosters conflict and mistrust. This work is dedicated to the thorny and multifaceted relations between identity, security and democracy. Identity, Security and Democracy shows how full of nuances the process of human identification is. IOS Press is an international science, technical and medical publisher of high-quality books for academics, scientists, and professionals in all fields.

Download or read book The Use of Displays Showing Identity Versus No identity written by Lowell M. Schipper and published by . This book was released on 1957 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This experiment is the sixth in a series of system studies dealing with various aspects of air traffic control. The purpose was to evaluate the performance of a one-controller system with (a) an omnipresent clock-type identity code vs. (b) the absence of identity on the radar blips. Data were recorded for a total of 1267 movements of jet-type fighter and bomber aircraft, which were accepted at four different entry rates. Four experienced USAF controllers served in the study. No conflicts (failures to achieve specified separations) and no missed approaches occurred at the slowest input rate (an average of one aircraft every 105 sec.), but a few conflicts and go-arounds (about 3%) occurred at the higher rates. This decrease in safety margin was most notable at the highest rate (60-sec. separation). Measures of fuel consumption and control time in moving aircraft through a zone of 50-mi. radius around the GCA gate showed significant superiority for the system that provided aircraft identity. An analysis of communications from controllers to pilots also showed small reductions in communications under the identity condition."--Abstract.

Download or read book The Surveillance Industrial Complex written by Kirstie Ball and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s ‘surveillance society’ emerged from a complex of military and corporate priorities that were nourished through the active and ‘cold’ wars that marked the twentieth century. Two massive configurations of power – state and corporate – have become the dominant players. Mass targeted surveillance deep within corporate, governmental and social structures is now both normal and legitimate. The Surveillance-Industrial Complex examines the intersections of capital and the neo-liberal state in promoting the emergence and growth of the surveillance society. The chapters in this volume, written by internationally-known surveillance scholars from a number of disciplines, trace the connections between the massive multinational conglomerates that manufacture, distribute and promote technologies of ‘surveillance’, and the institutions of social control and civil society. In three parts, this collection investigates: how the surveillance-industrial complex spans international boundaries through the workings of global capital and its interaction with agencies of the state surveillance as an organizational control process, perpetuating the interests and voices of certain actors and weakening or silencing others how local political economies shape the deployment and distribution of the massive interactions of global capital/military that comprise surveillance systems today. This volume will be useful for students and scholars of sociology, management, business, criminology, geography and international studies.

Download or read book Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age written by Joseph Migga Kizza and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-14 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The frequency of new editions of this book is indicative of the rapid and trem- dous changes in the fields of computer and information sciences. First published in 1995, the book has rapidly gone through three editions already and now we are in the fourth. Over this period, we have become more dependent on computer and telecommunication technology than ever before and computer technology has become ubiquitous. Since I started writing on social computing, I have been ad- cating a time when we, as individuals and as nations, will become totally dependent on computing technology. That time is almost on us. Evidence of this is embodied in the rapid convergence of telecommunication, broadcasting, and computing devices; the miniaturization of these devices; and the ever increasing storage capacity , speed of computation, and ease of use. These qualities have been a big pulling force sucking in millions of new users every day, sometimes even those unwilling. Other appealing features of these devices are the increasing number of applications, apps, as they are increasingly becoming known, and being wireless and easily portable. Whether small or big, these new gizmos have become the c- terpiece of an individual’s social and economic activities and the main access point for all information. Individuals aside, computing technology has also become the engine that drives the nations’ strategic and security infrastructures that control power grids, gas and oil storage facilities, transportation, and all forms of national communication, including emergency services.
