Description
The Second Edition of Computerization and Controversy: Value Conflicts and Social Choices is a collection of 78 articles
that examine the social aspects of computerization from a variety of perspectives, many presenting important viewpoints not often discussed
in the conventional literature. A number of paired articles comprise thought-provoking head-on debate. Fields represented include computer
science, information systems, management, journalism, psychology, law, library science, and sociology.
This volume introduces some of
the major controversies surrounding the computerization of society and helps readers recognize the social processes that drive and shape
computerization.
Division into eight provocatively titled sections facilitates course planning for classroom or seminar use. A lead article
for each section frames the major controversies, locates the selections within the debates, and points to other relevant literature.
