۳  Before we get into the Suppressed Information Issues & Culture articles��
۳ (Is�03) and up, I want to make an amendment issue addition to Is�00. It ��
۳  deals with an Undernet Social Overview of the Hacking Community as a   ��
۳  Culture in inself and shares some insite on current Worldviews. Subject��
۳  being by terminology "Demagoguery". This deals with Cultures and the   ��
۳  evolution of the hacking Culture within the descriptive term. Where the��
۳  Culture is at today and some possible paths that the Culture could take��
۳  in the very near future. Demagoguery Idealism is the prime concept and ��
۳  reason for being of TEOAS. TEOAS recognizes that many changes need to  ��
۳  be made within the hacking community for the positive evolution of our ��
۳  community into a very real, recognized and excepted Culture within the ��
۳  general publics worldview. Heros, Leaders & Educators as opposed to the��
۳  malicious, evil, dark and even criminal aspects of net society. You'll ��
۳  understand more about the Demagoguery concept as you read on. This Zine��
۳  article written exclusively for the TEOAS publication by "�ilentwing�",��
۳  BS in psychology, statistician and Cultural researcher with many years ��
۳  of background experience. We look forward to many future articles being��
۳  submitted by this Lady. Remember that Knowledge is not Power in itself.��

۳                Demagoguery (or Curiosity Killed the Cat)                ��
۳                                                                         �� 
۳ It is called demagoguery. Throughout history, any time a minority group ��
۳ gains some power or has something another larger, more powerful group   ��
۳ wants, thus begins the process of demagoguery. Demagoguery is the       ��
۳ process by which one group, sometimes even a whole society begins to    ��
۳ instill fear of another group for political reasons. President Jackson  ��
۳ did such with the Cherokee Indians with the Trail of Tears all because  ��
۳ there was thought to be gold in North Georgia where the Cherokee tribes �� 
۳ resided. Hitler began such a process with the Jews because they were    ��
۳ more successful, or seemed to be, than other German citizens.  Before   ��
۳ and after the above named incidences our history is riddled with such   ��
۳ acts just by virtue of being culturally different. Various cultures have��
۳ their own idiosyncrasies by which most other cultures tend to stereotype��
۳ them, perpetuating the fear that this group or that, might some day gain��
۳ power threatening the status quo.                                       �� 
۳                                                                         �� 
۳ People, in general, don't like their worldviews threatened and new      ��
۳ encounters with various cultures tend to shake those worldviews. A      ��
۳ worldview is how an individual perceives the world through his or her   ��
۳ experiences and the process of making sense of those experiences. Our   ��
۳ worldview is how we define our culture and how societies are formed.    ��
۳ When the general population encounters a culture that is distinctly     ��
۳ different from the norm, a first reaction is fear. The second is fitting��
۳ this new experience in with previous experience, hence stereotyping.    ��
۳ When the media becomes involved, the process of stereotyping goes much  ��
۳ more quickly, most notably by highlighting the most visible acts of the ��
۳ identifying culture, oftentimes to that culture's detriment.            ��
۳                                                                         �� 
۳ The media has certainly affected the way the general population views   ��
۳ the hacking culture. Terms such as white hat hackers and script kiddies ��
۳ have become buzzwords as the media begins it's quest to sort, identify, ��
Uo     areas of the world, but only recently begun to receive  ��
۳ notice from the rest of the world community. As a culture gains momentum��
۳ ,it also becomes a threat to the status quo and thus begins the process ��
۳ of demagoguery.                                                         �� 
۳                                                                         �� 
۳ Although the hackers in general refer to themselves as a culture, one   ��
۳ wonders whether they realize that they are in fact a very distinct      ��
۳ culture. The word culture is used to describe a worldview and a way of  ��
۳ life that fits that worldview. As with any other culture, when the      ��
۳ negative aspects of the culture receive the greatest percentage of      ��
۳ notice, the culture as a whole suffers. Although there have been a few  ��
۳ efforts to dispel the notion that hackers as a group go around defacing ��
۳ web pages, breaking into computers to steal whatever there is to steal, ��
۳ the efforts have been rather individualistic and seldom. The knowledge, ��
۳ the ability, and the power may be there to do this and it does happen,  ��
۳ for most it's the curiosity that draws them. They are explorers of a    ��
۳ sort learning, taking things apart to see how they work, discovering new��
۳ ways of doing things, and sharing that knowledge with others, with their��
۳ primary goal that of advancing knowledge. As more and more people begin ��
۳ to communicate via the internet, hackers became more noticeable. The    ��
۳ implications of what can happen is what frightens the general population��
۳ ,making it easy for a more viable, somewhat trusted, group to instill   ��
۳ fear of the hacking culture as a whole, rather like homophobia.         ��
۳                                                                         �� 
۳ The Mormons survived only by accepting the dictates of the government   ��
۳ for marriage. Much of their beliefs and way of life were modified       ��
۳ to fit the majority society's ideals, yet, they managed to survive in   ��
۳ the onslaught against their culture and religion. Martin Luther King    ��
۳ also led such a movement to gain civil rights for African Americans. It ��
۳ is movements such as these that gain acceptance for the various cultures��
۳ around the world. Nor are these movements particular to the 20th century��
۳ but is as old and probably older than written history. Great Britain    ��
۳ once banned the Gaelic language from being written or spoken. And the   ��
۳ language and the religion almost died as a result but it survived. The  ��
۳ Roman Empire imposed similar restrictions along with their conquest of  ��
۳ the world. But cultures still survived these onslaughts, not all by any ��
۳ means, but those that did had similar elements to their survival. All   ��
۳ were subjected to some form of demagoguery, they made a concerted effort��
۳ to win recognition for their culture as a group with chosen leaders, and��
۳ educated the rest of the world about their culture and what it means to ��
۳ be a part of that culture.                                              �� 
۳                                                                         �� 
۳ The hacker culture is facing the same dilemmas. As more and more sites  ��
۳ related to hacking and security go down and governmental interference   ��
۳ increases, the community as whole is becoming very disorganized and     ��
۳ fragmented. The very fact that names like script kiddies and white hat  ��
۳ hackers are becoming the buzzwords is evidence of the divided camps     ��
۳ among the culture itself, leaving a whole spectrum of members lost,     ��
۳ without guidance or support from like minded individuals, and few, if   ��
۳ any, apparent leaders. Unfortunately, this is also part of the process; ��
۳ the divide and conquer phase of demagoguery. One cannot but wonder if   ��
۳ this culture will survive this threat to their existence and live to    ��
۳ gain acceptance from other cultures.                                    �� 
۳                                                                         ��
