How do we mitigate these technological risks (chemical, radioactive, and biotechnological)? Those exposed to the risks are numerous and capable of mobilization to the extent that they "threaten the stability of the political-economic order, and thus place legitimation at issue" (p. 326). The following direct democracy dilemma is the dilemma of technology and expertise. As governance issues are often directly affected by technology operated and most fully understood by experts in those fields, the public can often not compete with the strength of the experts' voices in terms of knowledge, information, and expertise. Thus, the dilemma is that in fields affected by complex technologies, experts typically are over-represented while the public is greatly under-represented. The question is, then: how can citizens be included in decisions regarding complex technologies, "especially when there can be wide disagreements among the experts, and the costs of gaining the knowledge, information, and expertise to stay current in these debates can...

Such expansion has greatly eased the spread of information (Palfrey, 2010). The ease in which people communicate and disseminate information has created a cause for concern among many different parties that
Eveland's research design is quasi-experimental. The sample populations for the experiment are not randomly selected. There is structure to the experiment with more than one form of measurement during the research process. Quasi-experimental design includes multiple groups and multiple waves of measurement. While there were not a significant number of groups in the experiment, there was more than one. At more than one point in the experiment, measurements were
However, nothing can be done until the malware actually occurs. With all the different viruses, worms and Trojans, how can security managers possibly predict what malware will occur next? In contrast, a behavioral rule defines legitimate activity in a system. Any activity not matching the profile will cause the security product to be triggered. As rules are not specific to a particular type of attack, they can block malicious
interventionism from the perspective of realism vs. idealism. Realism is defined in relationship to states' national interests whereas idealism is defined in relation to the UN's Responsibility to Protect doctrine -- a doctrine heavily influenced by Western rhetoric over the past decade. By addressing the question of interventionism from this standpoint, by way of a case study of Libya and Syria, a picture of the realistic implications of "humanitarian
Hypothesis Five In the fifth hypothesis of measuring the business ethics levels of Taiwanese ITPs the Null and Alternative Hypotheses are defined as follows: H0: In the ethical climate of independence, the business ethics level of Taiwanese ITP's is high. H1: In the ethical climate of independence, the business ethics level of Taiwanese ITP's is low. Results of Testing Hypothesis Five It has been established in the fourth hypothesis that the greater the ethical climate
More precisely, "color blind racism created a paradox for presidential candidate Barack Obama. While he could not escape "race" his candidacy strategically figured "race" through color blind rhetoric that contained the threat of a black presidency.
