E-Governance




Hello and welcome to my blog as I take my journey through my MPA program at Troy University. This class's focus is on the development of E-Governance and what exactly it is and what direction it is heading as technology advances. E-Governance is the institution of information technology being integrated within the government allowing full public disclosure to the public. This process can quickly push out information to the citizens about every different public agency through the internet.
Can you imagine George Washington and other old public administrators being able to conduct the meetings for the implementation of the Bill of Rights through open source internet meetings?

My experience in the public service are short so far as I have been enlisted in the Coast Guard since January of 2015 until the present and have gained valuable public experience. Getting to know how exactly E-Governance works and the way it is going is very important moving forward as I plan on making a career in the public service. This blog will serve as a informative blog about the topic of E-Governance and passing on the information I learn to spread the awareness of the topic which is becoming very important.

Ethics in E-Government

Image
E-Government being a 21st century movement is very new and constantly changing so it is only right there is a set standard of ethics involved with it as it moves forward. How does one go about creating a framework of what an ethical system looks like and what it will contain? Looking at America as a whole you can make a fair assumption that the large majority of the population is digitally connected and there is an effort made to provide internet access to a large portion of the population. If you were to compare America's ease of internet access to other less developed nations the disparity would shock you. North Americas population has the highest access to internet while the world average is 49.7 percent. This brings up the point of does one nation having ample internet access while other countries do not create a type of "digital divide" when one country or continent has resources that others severely lack? Is the internet a "right" that should be prov...

Social Media's role within modern day Government.

Image
As you can see from the above picture can you imagine how our fore founders view how the current state of politics is ran using social media? Imagine people displaying their tweets about how they do not agree with the constitution and having arguments over a certain "Bill of Rights"? Technology has brought us a long way since the foundation of this country in 1776. As we progress more and more as a society technology will always be at the center of it as it is an integral part of society today and prime example being "social media". Social media is the ever so controversial topic it seems like today but it is something that a large portion of our society uses every single day. This large portion of society now expands to our elected public officials using social media as a platform to spread awareness to whatever cause they see fit to promote. First we should start with pointing out the good that social media brings in the Government section. Any time a natur...

How can e-Democracy help unify the divided political USA

Image
It is clear now more than ever that the United States is more divided now than it has ever been since the civil war. Now in today's modern age another civil war erupting in America seems highly unlikely but if you watch carefully you can see just how divided people in America truly are. Now with that said how can we make a better system where there is not such animosity and hate towards each other and truly get people to have compassion for others? It may seem like a fairy tale becoming a Utopian society especially in America where there has been a huge divide which has only worsened since the end of the civil war but there is steps that can be taken to help heal and come together. Now you can't realistically expect people to come join and huddle around the camp fire and sing Kumbaya together but there is things with the implementation of eDemocracy that can help bring people together. Pia Mancini brings up a system her country uses to help bring the usefulness of the interne...
