Some Americans might desire protections to their freedom of speech from employment-related concerns. [Such Americans include those employed in service careers who tend to already understand civic duties, who might tend to want to e-participate.] Some such careers [...] policemen, firemen, city employees, lawyers, educators, social studies teachers. The idea that one might get into trouble at work if they speak their opinions can stifle free speech. Options to protect free speech include legal protections, labor unions, teachers unions, tenure. Technological solutions include role-based participation where some participants can toggle sociological/user roles while in discussions. Such a feature would pertain to the IS&R of their contributions Groups to incentivize to participate include the young professional lawyers in each city. Participation can be opportunity to distinguish as well as to network. Lawyers can participate in multiple roles, advising ad hoc groups in the democratic processes of their communities as well as participating in their citizen capacities. Lawyers should be able to indicate participation modes and the prior role, advising others, can showcase their legal acumen and communication skills amidst providing service to others. Groups to incentivize to participate include social studies educators. “Social Studies will likely have a major role to play in ethical dilemmas in the dialogue around context, control, censorship, and regulation of science.” “Teachers are role models for civic participation.” “Social Studies educators have equal access to all the resources they need.” (http://www.socialstudies.org/about/strategicplan) AAUP http://www.aaup.org/... ---------- This post sent on Collaborative Software Community Group 'E-Participation, Sociological Roles and User Roles' https://www.w3.org/community/collaboration/2015/11/30/e-participation-sociological-roles-and-user-roles/ Learn more about the Collaborative Software Community Group: https://www.w3.org/community/collaboration
