Attribute

AFS Affected Social Domain

Definition

The social sector in which ideas and information are exchanged in a social context.

Description

Social communications may be affected by the availability of infrastructure that supports communications, as well as by social or governmental controls that affect the free exchange of ideas and information. Effects on communications may be positive or negative. For example: communications may be increased by the introduction of new communications infrastructure (such as cellular technology in Africa) or decreased by the destruction of existing infrastructure. Communications may be limited by government censorship or increased by the lifting of controls. In some cases, a combination of new types of infrastructure (for example: internet) and content (for example: blogs) may increase the sphere of communications.
