Concepts and definitions

Author 1: Florian

  • the knowledge society
    • Society has shiftet from an industrial one to a "knowledge society". Nowadays the knowledge producing industries like education, reasearch, development, media and communication are the most important ones. Scientific expertise is of a higher value than experience. Thereby people are disadvantaged and more powerless by having less scientific knowledge.
  • research with the people
    • To narrow the gap of knowledge in society, professionals need to research with the people. Thereby socially powerless groups can get into action. The researcher (the expert) starts with questions risen by the powerless groups and gives them back comprehensive information.
  • towards a knowledge democracy
    • The economic production is controlled by a few people of dominant knowledge. This needs to be changed to realize a real political democracy.
