News and Society

Reporting the news is the function of the news media. And that can be done responsibly or it can be done irresponsibly to society. In fact, every news program ought to have a responsibility rating--say between zero to ten. If the manner in which the news is being presented is totally responsible to society it receives a rating of ten. If it unnecessarily ads stress to society and it totally irresponsible, the program should be ranked a zero.

Fact is we're at war with terrorism--nothing new there. The news can take on the role of being informative or it can take on the role of Tokyo Rose during World War II.

Usually I write about managing stress using biofeedback, hypnosis, nutrition... for the individual to aid in one managing physical reactions to stress or getting rid of unwanted habits such as smoking, overeating... Just as stress affects an individual, stress also affects society and sometimes with lynch mob results.

Now if you were a terrorist, what would you like to hear? Firstly we know that terrorists want to kill all infidels--they deem everyone other than those who have their beliefs (including those of their own race and religion) as infidels. Their goal is to disrupt our lives physically and mentally: Physically by killing us and mentally by reeking havoc with fear.

The bigger their slaughter the more successful they are. But it doesn't stop there. The more mental terror evoked, the more successful they are--they win on two fronts.

What does a terrorist want? The terrorist wants to raise the stress level and fear of infidels. He also wants creative ideas such as garbage can bombs at airports, civic centers, shopping malls--ideas he might not have thought of on his own.

It's ironic, thousands of humans can be slaughtered by genocide in Somalia or some other part of the world and we hear little of it, yet, a car bomb in England can be thwarted and we hear it on all the news media regurgitated for days followed up by the garbage can bomb idea. Let's spread more fear for the terrorist to gloat.

Reporting the thwarted car bombs should be no different than reporting the score of a football game--basic facts without regurgitation of interviewing a dozen experts who less than those investigating the incident.

Now if I were a terrorist, I'd give the news media a ten for publishing my cause, a ten for instilling fear in the hearts of millions, and another ten for the garbage can bomb idea. The cumulative stress on society has gone off the wall. The news media did everything I could possibly want. They've taken my bomb and magnified it ten fold--a great moral victory--and made us afraid of garbage cans too boot. And aren't many wars won on moral victories? The ten score for the terrorist is a zero score for the news' responsibility to society.

Now, I'm not for the war in Iraq--never have been, but we're there and it seems to me that the news media provides far more moral victories to the enemy than it does for our society. They may argue that they are only reporting the news, but I doubt that any group of new casters have had a meeting to discuss what can be done to be less supportive of the terrorist. Is it possible that how the deeds of terrorists are reported actually can morally support their goals? Or do we think that they are ignorant of the news? Richard Kuhns B.S. Ch.

Whether you think of him as a pioneering genius of the digital age or as the quintessential capitalist, Bill Gates left an indelible mark on society and culture of the 20th century.

Born in Seattle, Washington, on October 28, 1955, he is the only son of William H. Gates II, a retired Seattle attorney, and his late wife, Mary. The Gates family had hopes that young William Henry III would follow in his father's footsteps, but they soon found out that their son had plans and dreams of his own.

Gates was a restless child with a gift and a passion for math and science. Still, he was generally uninterested in school at a young age. In order to bring some discipline to his life, his parents enrolled him in Seattle's Lakeside School, a private school for boys. It was there that Gates discovered the world of computers. He became friends with Paul Allen and others who shared his passion for the sciences.

In 1967, he and Allen spent long hours teaching themselves how to use the Teletype machine, which was connected to what was at the time a state-of-the-art computer system. The computers of the late 1960s were enormous, awkward machines that often filled a small room. Their insides consisted primarily of wires and assorted vacuum tubes. By today's standards, these machines were very slow and difficult to use, and programming them was a tedious job.

Gates and Allen, undaunted, developed programs that instructed these machines to organize a payroll for a small business, assemble a class schedule, play games, and perform other basic functions. Gates was convinced that computers could succeed in performing these and other tasks as long as the right instructions were given to it.

In 1971, the world was introduced to the Intel 4004 microprocessor chip, which with its successors would replace the cumbersome vacuum tubes and wires and enable computer manufacturers to build smaller, cheaper, more versatile systems. This advance in technology allowed Gates to consider the possibility of "personal computers," which he believed could be useful to everyone in business and at home.

With the new microprocessor, Gates and Allen--still in high school--built the Traf-O-Data, a device that generated statistics on traffic flow for use in municipal planning. It gathered its information through a rubber tube that was placed over a street or highway. Though not a huge financial success, their Traf-O-Data company was the seed that eventually became the megacorporation we associate with Gates today.

Gates entered Harvard University in 1973, where he continued to develop his interest in computers and computer programming. He and Allen formed a partnership under the name of Micro Soft (later to be renamed Microsoft) in the summer of 1976.

Gates held on to his firm belief in the future of personal computing as he struggled to advance ideas and systems for a new industry. In a recent article, author John Heilemann wrote that "Gates is often credited, and justly so, with being among the first to discern that software could be the basis of an enterprise; with having appreciated that software, not hardware, was where the serious money would be made in personal computing" ("The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth," Wired, November 2000). From what his colleagues say, Gates also desired to dominate the future of the entire computing industry.

Gates dropped out of Harvard in 1977 to devote all his energies to Micro Soft. A few years later, in 1983, Allen resigned because of health problems. His exit left Gates at the helm of one of the fastest-growing companies in history. Microsoft grew from earnings of $400,000 in 1977 to nearly $20 billion for the fiscal year ending in June 1999.

Some attribute this tremendous growth directly to Gates and his focused leadership ability. His supporters ascribe the great leaps in computer technology to his brilliance, genius in marketing and understated showmanship. They speak admiringly of Gates as one who has continually forged ahead to improve software technology so that it would be more powerful, cost effective and user-friendly.

Critics, on the other hand, claim that Gates has engineered a stranglehold over the entire industry with his ideas and products. He and Microsoft have faced numerous allegations of unethical business practices, copyright infringement and monopolistic tendencies. Even now, Gates and Microsoft are the subjects of an ongoing legal battle with industry competitors and the U.S. Justice Department.

Despite these challenges, Gates appears undaunted in his quest for preeminence. Only time will determine what impact these legal challenges will have on his company--and on Gates himself. For the time being, Microsoft remains the dominant power in the software industry.

Although it's an ever changing industry, Gates does not foresee an end to the need for personal computers. He recently wrote: "The PC has given the average American the kind of computing power that 10 years ago was found only in large corporations. Yet people now take this for granted--and want more" ("Why the PC Will Not Die," Newsweek, May 31, 1999).

In the same article, Gates articulated his vision for the near future in which personal computers are the center of home networks, connecting entertainment, communications and home appliances into one easy-to-use system. In Gates's future world, "wherever you are, whatever you want to do, you'll have all the information you need."

Still, at a recent Seattle seminar, Gates admitted that "computers can do little to solve the planet's gravest social ills. 'The world's poorest two billion people desperately need healthcare, not laptops,' he said" (Edward Helmore and Robin McKie, "Gates Loses Faith in Computers," London Observer, November 5, 2000).

In keeping with this sentiment, Gates, who is billed as one of the richest men in the world, is involved in a number of philanthropic initiatives around the world. He and his wife have organized the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, giving millions of dollars to organizations involved in helping with social issues such as health, learning, and various community projects.

Though at one time Gates expected that his donations would consist primarily of computers and software, he reconsidered that approach: "Computers are amazing in what they can do," he says, "but they have to be put into the perspective of human values."

Legend has it that when noted wilderness-survival expert Tom Brown slipped through thin ice and into a frigid lake miles from help, he immediately employed one of his most potent survival tools—anger! His anger at himself for having fallen into the lake in the first place, the story goes, gave him the boost of adrenaline he needed to pull himself out of the lake and run twelve miles in subfreezing temperatures to the nearest house. Brown credits anger as the fuel that saved his life.

“Anger is an inborn, natural emotion that can indeed save your life,” agrees Dr. Kenneth Mills, a psychologist in Chapel Hill, NC, and an expert on aggressive behavior. “If you have a bump to get over...sometimes you need to get angry to overcome it.”

Anger that manifests as assertiveness can be a positive coping skill, says, Mills, and one that is difficult for many people to pick up and master.

“Anger appropriately expressed in the moment is good because it lets people know how we feel and that we are upset and want a change,” according to David Herz, president and founder of Vive! Inc., a program that works with troubled teens and their families. Even more importantly, says Herz, “anger is good in that it can tell us that we are avoiding a deeper feeling or we are not being adequately expressive toward someone else.”

Current research indicates that the assertive expression of moderate anger can help people solve problems, communicate more effectively, engage in activism, succeed in the workplace and possibly even improve their physical health.

The Bad News: Anger Can Kill You

But the news about anger isn’t all good.

“Despite the positive aspects of anger,” says Herz, “anger held inside or improperly expressed can actually eat you away physically. Long-term anger can kill.”

“Anger itself is not toxic,” says Mills, “but it is cheap. It’s an easy fuel to access, so it tends to get overused by some—especially adolescents. When overused, anger becomes toxic.”

This toxicity may manifest as hypertension, high blood pressure, or depression, according to the American Psychological Association. Current research indicates that chronic anger increases blood cortisol levels and may exhaust adrenal stores, both of which can cause serious, even deadly, health problems.

In addition to making anger toxic, the overuse of anger tends to snowball like an addiction. In contrast to the traditional “pressure cooker” theory of anger, which held that unexpressed anger builds up in the mind until it boils over or explodes, many psychologists now agree that the habitual expression of anger actually increases, rather than relieves, anger. “If you use anger to solve a lot of problems,” Mills says, “the anger in the person and the family system will grow. Anger perpetuates itself. “

Mills, who has applied his expertise in aggressive behavior to driver-training programs for police officers, truckers, teenagers and others (www.disciplined-attention.com), cites an unexpected consequence of poorly managed anger. “When we get behind the wheel, we drive our personality,” he says. “If you’re an angry person, you will tend to drive aggressively, angrily. New studies are showing that aggressive driving is killing or hospitalizing more people than drunk driving!”

Keeping the News Good

So how do you ensure that your anger is a positive rather than a self-destructive tool? It’s not easy, Mills warns, especially for people well down the path of anger over-use. “Anger management is an easy topic to give advice on, but it’s difficult to put into practice.”

Nonetheless, if anger occasionally gets the best of you, there are ways to improve your anger-management skills. “If your anger reaches a point that requires management,” suggests Herz, “I recommend exercise. I love to take the kids I work with out to the basketball court; it’s a great way to take a time out and deescalate.” Herz also recommends meditation, deep breathing exercises and removing yourself from situations that trigger anger. “When my twins were two I would often give myself timeouts or I would lose my temper. I would take a walk or go into my bedroom, close the door and hit pillows. That helped!”

Herz recommends that once the immediate anger has been managed or has passed, it’s important to explore the deeper reasons for the anger—is it really sadness, anger at ourselves for not communicating well with someone, or even fear? Mills suggests that the first question to ask when you become angry is, “what am I really afraid of or sad about?” Once the real problem behind the anger has been identified, it’s time to address that core problem calmly but directly.

Those for whom the overuse of anger has damaged relationships, led to self-harm or violence, or become an intractable issue—along the lines of an addiction, the assistance of a trained psychotherapist may be a critical tool for lasting change.

"The promise of the Information Age is the unleashing of unprecedented productive capacity by the power of the mind. . . . The dream of the Enlightenment, that reason and science would solve the problems of humankind, is within reach."

Such is the optimistic conclusion of Manuel Castells in his massive trilogy, The Information Age: Economy, Society and Culture. Within the same conclusion, however, this professor of sociology at the University of California, Berkeley, cites as prerequisites many miraculous changes for society and culture in this global social conscience. And the likelihood that these miracles will be realized seems as remote as the Emerald City in The Wizard of Oz.

Consider several "if only" rainbows that society and culture must chase before we can walk the yellow-brick road to Castells's utopia: "If people are informed, [are] active, and communicate throughout the world; if business assumes its social responsibility; if the media become the messengers, rather than the message; if political actors react against cynicism, and restore belief in democracy; . . . if we assert intergenerational solidarity by living in harmony with nature; if we depart for the exploration of our inner self, having made peace among ourselves."

What Castells doesn't seem to realize is that human nature is the wizard behind this curtain, and unfortunately he doesn't see that for what it really is. In his conclusion he states that "there is no eternal evil in human nature." Yet he warns in his third volume that the Information Age has the potential to greatly expand the gap between rich and poor nations, that the weakest in society (especially children) stand to be exploited by the new global economy as never before, and that a rising global criminal economy will wield unprecedented power.

In the same volume he readily admits that "we are all inhabited, at the same time, by humanity's angels and devils, [and] whenever and wherever our dark side takes over it triggers the release of unprecedented, destructive power." Castells is to be applauded for recognizing that human nature is at the crux of the success or failure of the Information Age, but his optimism is not supported by his analysis of these monumental changes. In fact, he identifies the potential for more negative than positive scenarios as the world speeds blindly into what many believe will be the greatest social upheaval in the history of humanity.

To be fair to Castells, he does not intend to suggest a coming utopia. His intent with this work was not to engage in futurology, but to present the situation as it presently exists and to identify the social and economic factors that would be most affected by the technological revolution. He acknowledges his optimism but defends it when he writes, "I believe in rationality . . . without worshipping its goddess. I believe in the chances of meaningful social action . . . without necessarily drifting towards the deadly rapids of absolute utopias." The question that remains is whether the new technologies will bring society and culture a better world or whether they will be used for destruction, as were all too many technological advances in the 20th century.

NETWORK VS IDENTITY

Castells will certainly have a major impact on the debate about what traditional institutions should or should not do to influence the progress of the Information Revolution. The author of more than 20 books, many dealing with the impact of information technology on society, he is recognized by business leaders and academicians alike as the premier expert on the social ramifications of the Information Age.

Castells has long been a citizen of the subject on which he is an expert--the new global economy and culture. He himself is a globalized social theorist. Born in Spain in 1942, he taught at the University of Paris for 12 years before moving to California. He has taught and conducted research all over the world and has been an advisor to heads of state from Europe to Latin America to Asia. He has been a member of the European Commission's High Level Expert Group on the Information Society and is a member of the European Academy.

In the last year, Castells has also become a star speaker at major conferences on the Information Age. He was one of a very few academics to address the World Economic Forum earlier this year, with an audience that included George Soros, Bill Gates and Kofi Annan.

In his trilogy, Castells describes a tension that new information technologies have created within the society and culture. He identifies it as a battle between "network" and "identity."

Volume One is titled The Rise of the Network Society. In it he introduces a new term, informationalism--a new economic model evolved from capitalism. In the new economy, information is the most important currency, and new models of production are forming as a result. Castells illustrates how the global economy is now reliant on the continuous and instantaneous flow of information, and how that flow has changed consumption and production. Enormous power has been invested in those who control the information pipelines, and very often that power goes politically and legally unchecked.

Volume Two, titled The Power of Identity, shows the major counterforce to networks and globalization: old and new groups expressing their collective identity. Here Castells identifies social (and to a lesser degree economic) communities that are emerging, and he comments on their shifting and transitory nature and how they are undermining the old structures, including ethnic cultures, the family and the nation-state.

In his final volume, End of Millennium, Castells brings together the findings from the first two and sums up where he believes society and culture is as it enters a new millennium. And while he focuses on Africa, the rise of inequality, the growing criminal economy, urban poverty, and the plight of children, he still has faith that "there is nothing that cannot be changed by conscious, purposive social action" that is informed and legitimate. Yet he resists making firm predictions and concentrates on, as he puts it, "what we know the Information Age brings to us."

EMPIRICAL WEAKNESS

The three volumes work together to establish the fact that a new global economy and culture are emerging, driven by the engine of capitalism. This new state of affairs will in turn come under threat from the pressure of other social movements, ethnic groups and virtual cultures that are arising in response to the rapid shrinking of the globe. All of these forces will utilize the speed and pervasiveness of the network to stake out, defend and promote their identity. Information capitalists, nation-states and traditional institutions will have to take each potential threat seriously, no matter how insignificant it may seem initially.

Castells cites the success of the Mexican Zapatistas rebellion as evidence. This relatively small and isolated group, devoted to preserving the culture of those native people of Mexico who were threatened by global interests such as NAFTA, was able to hold the Mexican government at bay by appealing to the greater global community for support via the Internet.

Yet it seems the new technologies put all entities at risk. The very same special-interest groups and individuals that are empowered by unlimited information will also have their identity threatened by competing social movements. Thus no one will have a secure sense of identity.

It is no surprise that Castells, a former Marxist, concentrates on the plight of workers through all of this change. He believes a major consequence will be great uncertainty in employment resulting from a dramatic change in how we work: labor pools will be defined increasingly by temporary ventures that Castells terms "projects"; corporate firms and businesses will constantly shift their focus; and many firms will become sources of capital as opposed to producers of goods and services in the traditional sense. These factors may work together to produce a situation not unlike that of the 19th century, when vast groups of people were uprooted to fulfill the labor needs created by the Industrial Revolution.

These are just a few of the general trends that Castells attempts to identify. While the three volumes are long on data and short on firm conclusions about the future, the specifics he addresses in illustrating his points make for interesting reading and prompt the reader to consider various what-if scenarios. But one comes away from the trilogy recognizing that the subject is so big that even the best minds writing in such magna opera as Castells's are incapable of giving us the full sense of the revolution we are witnessing.

The advance of the Information Age is in many ways like the development of a new empire, though this empire is not limited, as others before it have been, to time and space.

Several questions remain, however. At what stage are we currently in the life of this new global empire? Will the global economy and culture prevail, or will society fragment? Can the dark side of human nature be overcome before the full power of the Information Age is unleashed? This is the drama for which Castells wisely refuses to provide an ending.

So often in the past, the real enemy of empires was not the foe without but the dark side of human nature within. More often than not, empires collapsed because of internal social forces at work--the moral decline and eventual collapse of the Roman Empire being perhaps the most notable example.

The astonishing powers being unleashed by the explosion of information technologies will demand strong ethics and morality from the citizens of this new global empire if it is to enjoy a happier fate.

Patriotism, simply defined, is devotion to one's country. In some nations this devotion is expressed more passionately and openly than in others. But loyalty to one's homeland is a natural and common emotion. Such patriotic feeling often lies quietly within the breast of a society and culture and may not have a highly visible expression until times of national tragedy or threat. For example, America's patriotism sat lightly on the sleeves of a citizenry that had come to feel complacently secure within its borders, but it gained massive public display following the national threat perceived by 9/11.

A few social commentators are beginning to record what they observe to be a growing trend of anti-patriotism, especially in some of the major Western nations. One either has no conscious sense of national identity or, if one is given to lending the issue more attention, is ashamed of being American. The French reaction against the result of the recent presidential election there also indicates changing attitudes toward national political interests and social issues. Western society and culture is becoming less accepting of the constituted political processes that play a part in defining their respective countries.

This new trend raises some questions regarding the value and the future of patriotism. Is national devotion something that should be shared by all sectors of the population? To take it further, should those who claim allegiance to God be patriotic?

A patriot is one who loves his or her country and supports its authority and interests. This love naturally includes a large emotional element--feelings that are expressed inspired by love for one's country. Patriotism has traditionally combined heartfelt passion with practical, hands-on contributions to national authority and interests.

Today's informality bespeaks great changes in the national psyche. We could therefore be forgiven for concluding that patriotism has little bearing on today's society and culture. It is becoming a nice sentiment rather than something of substance.

Patriotism of the past contained an element that is worthy of consideration. Love of country generally embraced God as the One who gave us our nation and all the benefits we enjoyed. But we have progressively separated God from country. Patriotism without love for God is more likely to be devoid of altruism, allowing self-love to overshadow responsibility and duty. Citizens who express reverence and respect toward God would also live by a code that guides social and domestic conduct. Were society and culture to follow Religion and the Bible patriotism would gain direction and substance.

The Bible is a book that outlines a way of life that is not controlled or formulated by interest groups, religious denominations or any other man-made factors. Jesus Christ did not teach against patriotism; rather, He gave it context and direction. He taught that His followers were to be subject to the authority of their country. That authority is to be respected and its laws obeyed so long as they do not conflict with His laws. Whatever is Caesar's is to be paid to Caesar (Matthew 22:21).

If patriotism could be channeled first toward Religion and the Bible then the result would be greater love and respect for our physical country, and a more unified society and culture living more peacefully, and experiencing a more positive physical life.
