1 Democracy in the Digital Era the people s government
2 Democracy Democracy as a form of government is one of the most significant creations of Western civilization in terms of politics. It is a system that grants citizens both power and responsibility over political choices Democracies are understood as freedom institutionalized into liberties Government of the people, by the people and for the people.
3 Difficulties in maintenance of democracy Voters are extremely uninformed about many political issues Political instability False democracies
4 Digital Era With communications across the globe Humankind is faced with a growing dependence on technologic systems Mass media television, radio, newspapers and Social networks Facebook and Twitter
5 Relationship with information in the Digital Era Excess of information Subinformation is the impoverishment of information Disinformation is the distortion of information False sense of knowledge
6 Democracy and the Digital Era ``The TV weakens our ability to think abstractly and with it all our ability to understanding. Ex Homo sapiens is Homo videns Giovanni Sartori s Dependent as it is on citizens information for its maintenance, democracy has been deeply affected by the rising presence of mass media and social networks as political trendsetters.
7 Our civilization has been running on a myth of democracy ever since the expansion of mass media. Thus, uninformed (or poorly informed) citizens make the choices that will alter the political life of whole countries based mainly on opinions deriving from vertical communication; i.e., on data and reports that are sent from smaller groups in positions of power toward the population at large with insignificant participation of such audience in the informationgathering process. Whereas more focused on an ideal of horizontal communication Where audience and source are more evenly matched in their stand before information, social networks are frequently as unreliable as mass media. Instant reproduction/spread of content and intense lack of proper contextualization allow social networks to become birthplaces for myths and other such phony material that increases levels of subinformation and disinformation regarding vital areas of political life.
8 One million and a half people in 19 capitals and more than 100 Brazilian cities left to the streets protesting
9 Free Pass Movement São Paulo (MPL) Wishing to change the social injustices present in Brazil and corruption, are the result of intolerance of the rulers
10 Subjects became the sources of information that traverses the network, accompanied by judgments that instigate social activism because they raise the level of general awareness
11 Ecuador Electoral Control Creates identification with people. Catch attention through the mass media. Good construction of message
12 Egypt Lotus Revolution Egyptian Spring (January/February 2011) is an echo of mobilizations in Tunisia that overthrew the government of that country. The population of Egypt felt deeply dissatisfied with social and economic policies of dictator Mubarak. Tahrir Square became the main gathering for the protesters who were brought together through social networks.
13 Egypt Lotus Revolution Social network was not the reason for the protests, but a catalyst for the dissatisfaction of the people Official media in Egypt was government-controlled it aimed to make the revolution pointless after Mubarak fell from power
14 Russia Electoral Fraud Russian government was accused of fraud in the 2011 legislative elections Russian blogs and social networks showed immediate reaction against the unreliable result People gathered in many Russian cities in order to protest
15 Conclusion As technology has evolved into a factor that is irreversibly connected to political events, the rising video-democracy should become more of a means to integrate people as it enables citizens to form educated opinions and to increase awareness and participation in political life. Furthermore, it is vital to avoid that technology be used as an instrument of control and indoctrination so democracy can last in the current state of technology.
