ITGS ~ Politics and Government
NISC ITGS class project for Luke Watson
Politics and Government
The Politics and government section of the ITGS syllabus focuses on the use and possible abuse of information technology by governments, police forces, and the military. From political campaigning and online government services, to potential electronic voting fraud and censorship of the Internet, the social impacts and ethical issues of IT in this area create great debate. This chapter of the textbook covers ITGS syllabus section 2.6 Politics and Government, and raises many issues related to 1.1 Reliability andIntegrity, 1.2 Security, 1.3 Privacy, 1.5 Authenticity, 1.6 Equality of Access, and 1.7 Surveillance. The topics here are also good revision material for 3.3 Networks and 3.4 Internet.
