Lecture 7 - Political Possibilities

Today’s lecture was about internet politics.
Most of the contemporary political issues have relations to the internet more or less. The most obvious alternative to representative democracy is participatory or direct democracy, based on the ancient Greek model where all citizens have a right and a duty to be involved in all decisions made.
Internet gives people the chance to choose which one they like, it is pretty democracy, and it is called e-democracy as well, it means the internet's intervention in and contribution to real world politics that exists predominantly off the internet. Voting who is the next president in a country, the internet is a very powerful tool to decide it, because the citizens of the country have the right to vote and the internet media give them the opportunity.
Well, the internet and politics nowadays can not be apart from each other, we need them to let our world more fair and beautiful.
