Tech 621 digital_dividehockeyisgoodThe document discusses the digital divide, which is the gap between those who can access technology and the internet, and those who cannot. It notes that internet users tend to be younger, more educated, higher income, and politically active. This can pose problems for methods like public opinion polling that rely on internet data, as certain groups may be underrepresented. Specifically, rural areas tend to have less access than urban areas. There is also a concern about online "echo chambers" where people selectively expose themselves to opinions similar to their own.

Guns germs steelmikelink45The document discusses Jared Diamond's book Guns, Germs, and Steel, which aims to explain why Eurasian civilizations dominated globally. It explores how environmental factors led to some populations acquiring an early "head start" in food production and domestication of animals in places like the Fertile Crescent, which indirectly laid the groundwork for technological advances like guns and steel. Natural experiments like those between the Maori and Moriori peoples on different islands show how environments can profoundly shape societies over short periods.

1. Грузія – це…
• Країна, в якої є купа стандартних для нас
проблем (“свобода” медіа, бідність великої
частини громадян, безробіття –
знайомо, правда?)
• Країна, яка за макроекономічними
показниками (ВВП на душу
населення, сальдо і тп.) поступається
Україні і знаходиться десь між Мікронезією
та Парагваєм.
2. • Країна, в якій половина населення розчарувалась в
своєму Президентові, і зараз перебуває у відвертій
опозиції до нього.
• Країна, яка пережила нещодавно військовий
конфлікт, що завершився фактичною втратою 20%
своєї території.
• І в той же час, ми презентуємо Грузію як
країну, в якої є чому повчитись. Як країну –
лідера! В чому? Давайте подивимось!
• Отже…
3. Грузія – це:
• Країна, яка про реформи не лише почула від
свого Президента, вона їх ще й побачила.
• Країна, в якій “мафія” та “злодії в законі”
сидять не за кермом державного управління, а в
тюрмах.
• Країна, в якій сьогодні рівень довіри населення
до правоохоронних органів становить 80%!!!!
4. • Країна, в якій сьогодні молодь знає англійську
краще, ніж російську.
Країна, яка майже повністю
вилікувалась від невиліковної
хвороби “корупції”. Країна, в якій за
найменший хабар тебе посадять на 5
років.
• Країна, яка за темпами ділової активності вже
в 2006-му році обійшла Швецію та інші
розвинені країни.
5. • Країна, яка за короткий термін змінила свій
зовнішній вигляд, зовнішню політику і зовнішній
імідж.
• Країна, де Президент – фактично найстарша людина у владі
(44 роки). Країна, де молодь не лише бачить свої шанси
бути у владі, а й реально в ній присутня.
• Країна, в якій особисті захоплення Президента до іноземних
мов, прозорої і красивої архітектури, інновацій стали де-
факто державною політикою. І це той випадок, коли - все на
користь.
6. • Країна, яка поставила собі за приклад
Сингапур, Гонконг, Швецію, і активно рухається в цьому
напрямку.
• Країна, де бізнес живе, а не виживає. Куди гроші
вкладають, а не звідки вивозять.
• Країна, про реформи якої пишуть як “грузинськее
економічне диво” не зважаючи на те, що до дива там
ще є куди рости.
• Країна, архітектура якої оновлюється в ногу з часом, а
туристи – захоплюються тим, як маленька Грузія зробила
великі зусилля. Бо таки зробила… і таки великі!
7. Вислови Президента Грузії:
• «Будівлі - це те, як ти одягаєш країну. Красиві і особливо
прозорі будівлі міняють психологію людей всередині і ззовні…
Батумі - це зовсім інший світ. Я нічого не перебільшую, коли
кажу, що це місто через чотири роки буде виглядати як
Сингапур”.
8. Вислови Президента Грузії:
“Сьогодні ми будуємо найбезпечнішу країну,
щоб туристи, приїжджаючи до
нас, нічого не боялися”.
“Ми будуємо суспільство, засноване на демократ
ії. Тобто,чим більш людина талановита і
розумніша, чим
більше вона працює, тим більше
вона робить успіхів в кар'єрі”.
9. (про зовнішню залежність):
“Раніше ми імпортували 100% енергоносіїв. Тепер ми не
залежимо від їх (Рос.) імпорту… І це завдяки
нашим рішучим діям в гідроенергетиці, у розвитку
альтернативних джерел енергії”.
(щодо реформ): “…так не вийде, щоб спочатку
думати, що ти можеш тих образити, потім
тих образити. Так краще вже всіх відразу. Я по натурі
не зла людина, але іноді треба бути дуже-
дуже жорстким».
М. Саакашвілі
10. Вислови Президента Грузії:
– «Ми - маленька країна, ми не можемо
собі дозволити багато, але обов'язково
зробимо так, щоб англійська мова
була відома кожному».
«Побачите, і Голландію, і всіх інших ми
наздоженемо, й навіть
переженемо, доведеться всім звикнути до цієї
думки. Природньо, на це знадобиться
час, знадобиться терпіння.»
М. Саакашвілі
11. Чому реформи стали можливими
в Грузії?
Політична воля чи/та суспільство
