Digital Natives Vs. Digital Immigrants What strikes me most about Sreenivasan’s claims is the profundity of his analysis. Hitherto, being a proud native, I did not realize the vast gulf separating the digital natives and digital immigrants. I believed, since we live in the same era, both classes were sailing in the same boat. But this assumption, according to the talk, could not be farther from the truth. As such, generally, I found Sreenivasan’s claims quite exhilarating and eye-opening. Yes, I completely concur with his sentiments. Without the slightest doubt (being a digital native), we seldom think twice. The word fearless, used by Sreenivasan in the talk, comes agonizingly short of capturing the correct depth of the blind faith we exercise towards technology (Sreenivasan 1:16-1:21). And it is this fearlessness, propelled by incredible ignorance, which removes protections from the manifold dangers lurking in excessive use of technology. I can relate to Sreenivasan’s statements. Until now, emotion informed my use of technology and not reason. Often, free from any occupation, most of my leisure hours would be devoted to directionless internet…

Stare Decisis Case study The phrase “stare decisis” is an obligation that demands courts to adhere and conform to their original decisions (Kozel, 2018). Courts also use this phrase to remain focus on making decisions over controversial cases. Stare decisis also require courts to adhere to decisions of higher courts that are above their jurisdiction. Stare decisis is a legal principle that review cases at all decision levels. Adherence to facts in all decision levels is sincere in constitutional cases because legislative correction action is impossible in practical events. Stare decisis is typically preferred while dealing with cases of contract and property rights. The main reason why this principle is preferred in matters about contract and poverty rights is because it involves reliance interests. This statement puts much emphasis on the earlier decisions and how they affect the final verdict in the rule of law. Stare decisis demands that the judgment over a given case should be monitored right from the previous decisions. The decisions of the higher courts also determine a particular ruling over a given situation because their…

The media has contributed mostly to influencing people’s perception of this continent. The availability and access to huge amount information, -particularly in online sites, has been the predominant factor that accounted for individuals filtering accurate information about Africa through their inaccurate stereotypes.

Supplemental Discussion 4 (Module 8) Most communities grapple with identifying their roles towards attaining sustainable development owing to the unpopular belief that only various agencies and NGOs could play an impactful role in achieving sustainability. However, such assertions are far-fetched and do not take into account the fact that everyone, from every sphere in society, has a role to play in the community in different ways. Thus, the group believes that just as there is a collective responsibility in the use of natural resources, there should also be a responsibility in leadership towards the realization of sustainable development. Collective leadership attributes to the development of collective responsibility towards the need to realize a sustainable use of the available resources. In that regard, all the individuals in society, non-governmental organizations, local administration, and other individuals in the community would play an instrumental role collectively in realizing sustainable development in society. Therefore, by proposing the concept of collective leadership, the authors ignore the individuals’ efforts towards achieving a sustainable community. Most communities grapple with identifying their roles towards attaining sustainable development owing…

Processes for engaging citizens and stakeholders The concept of governance in sustainable development is always controversial and subject to contentious debates among individuals. However, in this module, governance in sustainable development goes beyond the scope of the local or federal government. Bingham (2006) suggests that sustainable development should be perceived in the prism of the role that all the essential stakeholders in the society plays. In that regard, the group believes it believes that collectivity, especially collective leadership, is instrumental in attaining sustainable development in society. The individuals, NGOs, local leadership, and everyone in the community play a vital role in achieving sustainable development. Though local governments or the federal government could be instrumental in formulating policies and laws essential for the realization of sustainable development, it needs individual and collective responsibility for these policies and laws to be effective. Thus, collective governance towards sustainable development is essential as it acts as a platform for mutual responsibility towards the realization of sustainable communities. The concept of governance in sustainable development is always controversial and subject to contentious debates among individuals.…
