GETTING PAST THE BARBED WIRELESS

Getting Past The Barbed Wireless” talks about several issues about the current society. It highlights how information is shared. There are two methods in which information may be shared. First, the one to many model may be used. This involves the use of broadcasting using newspapers, and even using a public address system. In this case, one person passes the information to many others.

Alternatively, the peer to peer method may be used. The peer to peer method usually most employed by private individuals to pass information to each other. It may involve the sending of text messages, sharing tweets or posts on social media or sending videos to each other. The peer to peer method empowers everyone to share whatever information they hold on various platforms.

The author of this video however points out the abuse of human rights gets involved in the process. Sometimes, people are not allowed to share certain information that they hold dear like harassment, police brutality and the like. The barbed wireless involves the combination of all means of communication and seeking to limit them.

In our day to day lives, globalization, human rights and security are often related. It is however very difficult to identify the interconnection except in a critical perspective. Human rights are the backbone of every democracy. A country that restricts the rights of its citizens is often slow in development. This is because others are often unwilling to get involved with its activities due to the risks involved. It cannot be one way. A company that wishes to benefit from globalization must allow its members their rights and offer them security. Then and only then will growth be realized.
