Readings: “Mark Zuckerberg’s War on Free Will,” by Franklin Foer
“Rent Seeking and the Making of an Unequal Society,” by Joseph Stiglitz from second pdf page 387-412
In paper one we analyzed the effects of pervasive mechanical thinking on users. Stieglitz talks
about market ideology – particularly rent seeking behavior – controlling too much of American
life, arguing, “One of the ways that those at the top make money is by taking advantage of them
market and political power to favor themselves, to increase their own income, at the expense
of the rest.” In Foer’s piece, he presents Facebook as a morally unaccountable corporation, with
a potentially disastrous corporate ideology, but doesn’t necessarily invoke their profit-drive.
Answer the following questions drawing from both texts with quotation and summary:
Q: How does Facebook’s platform and corporate ideology reflect or relate to the “rent-
seeking” practices that Stieglitz outlines?
You should be comfortable with these terms and ideas before writing your paper:
– Wealth transfer
– Rent seeking practices, including rent, monopolies, natural resource sales, and
patents.
– The government’s role in propagating rent-seeking behavior
– Facebook’s influence over society.?
Information and Communications Technology for Policymaking BIBLIO
One of the core competencies necessary to succeed in this program is the ability to identify another research that pertains to a specific topic. This means you’ll have to identify similar research, read the papers, and assimilate prior work into your own research. An annotated bibliography helps you develop and hone these research skills.
This assignment is to develop an annotated bibliography specifically focusing on the topic of using the information and communications technology for policymaking. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policymaking. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 -200 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. A separate reference page is NOT required.
Your paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at least five (5) resources, ALL of which must:
1) Be current. Published within the last five years.
2) Be peer-reviewed.
3) Relate directly to using the information and communications technology for policymaking. The papers you select must address how IT is used to model behavior for policymaking.
USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!!! DO NOT PLAGIARIZE!!!!
Remember that an annotation is not the same as an abstract. Abstracts are descriptive. Your annotations are to be evaluative and critical. Give me enough information for me to decide if I’m interested enough to read the paper, and also how you perceive the paper. Don’t go skimpy on these annotations, but DO NOT write too much here. Quality is far more important than quantity. 5-6 sentences on each paper are ideal. This exercise is for each of you to demonstrate that you can identify, categorize, and digest multiple research papers. Every resource you choose must be peer-reviewed. That means the paper must have undergone a formal peer review before being published in a journal or presented at a conference. You must ensure that your resources have undergone rigorous reviews. In most cases, you can find out the review process for a conference or journal by visiting the appropriate web site. Do not simply assume that a resource is peer-reviewed – check it out.
