It ³Û Û³ deals with an Undernet Social Overview of the Hacking Community as a ³Û Û³ Culture in inself and shares some insite on current Worldviews. Subject³Û Û³ being by terminology "Demagoguery". This deals with Cultures and the ³Û Û³ evolution of the hacking Culture within the descriptive term. Where the³Û Û³ Culture is at today and some possible paths that the Culture could take³Û Û³ in the very near future. Demagoguery Idealism is the prime concept and ³Û Û³ reason for being of TEOAS. TEOAS recognizes that many changes need to ³Û Û³ be made within the hacking community for the positive evolution of our ³Û Û³ community into a very real, recognized and excepted Culture within the ³Û Û³ general publics worldview. Heros, Leaders & Educators as opposed to the³Û Û³ malicious, evil, dark and even criminal aspects of net society. You'll ³Û Û³ understand more about the Demagoguery concept as you read on. This Zine³Û Û³ article written exclusively for the TEOAS publication by "§ilentwing§",³Û Û³ BS in psychology, statistician and Cultural researcher with many years ³Û Û³ of background experience. We look forward to many future articles being³Û Û³ submitted by this Lady.

Throughout history, any time a minority group ³Û Û³ gains some power or has something another larger, more powerful group ³Û Û³ wants, thus begins the process of demagoguery. Demagoguery is the ³Û Û³ process by which one group, sometimes even a whole society begins to ³Û Û³ instill fear of another group for political reasons. President Jackson ³Û Û³ did such with the Cherokee Indians with the Trail of Tears all because ³Û Û³ there was thought to be gold in North Georgia where the Cherokee tribes ³Û Û³ resided. Hitler began such a process with the Jews because they were ³Û Û³ more successful, or seemed to be, than other German citizens. Before ³Û Û³ and after the above named incidences our history is riddled with such ³Û Û³ acts just by virtue of being culturally different. Various cultures have³Û Û³ their own idiosyncrasies by which most other cultures tend to stereotype³Û Û³ them, perpetuating the fear that this group or that, might some day gain³Û Û³ power threatening the status quo. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ People, in general, don't like their worldviews threatened and new ³Û Û³ encounters with various cultures tend to shake those worldviews. A ³Û Û³ worldview is how an individual perceives the world through his or her ³Û Û³ experiences and the process of making sense of those experiences. Our ³Û Û³ worldview is how we define our culture and how societies are formed. ³Û Û³ When the general population encounters a culture that is distinctly ³Û Û³ different from the norm, a first reaction is fear. The second is fitting³Û Û³ this new experience in with previous experience, hence stereotyping. ³Û Û³ When the media becomes involved, the process of stereotyping goes much ³Û Û³ more quickly, most notably by highlighting the most visible acts of the ³Û Û³ identifying culture, oftentimes to that culture's detriment. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ The media has certainly affected the way the general population views ³Û Û³ the hacking culture. Terms such as white hat hackers and script kiddies ³Û Û³ have become buzzwords as the media begins it's quest to sort, identify, ³Û Uo areas of the world, but only recently begun to receive ³Û Û³ notice from the rest of the world community. As a culture gains momentum³Û Û³ ,it also becomes a threat to the status quo and thus begins the process ³Û Û³ of demagoguery. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ Although the hackers in general refer to themselves as a culture, one ³Û Û³ wonders whether they realize that they are in fact a very distinct ³Û Û³ culture. The word culture is used to describe a worldview and a way of ³Û Û³ life that fits that worldview. As with any other culture, when the ³Û Û³ negative aspects of the culture receive the greatest percentage of ³Û Û³ notice, the culture as a whole suffers. Although there have been a few ³Û Û³ efforts to dispel the notion that hackers as a group go around defacing ³Û Û³ web pages, breaking into computers to steal whatever there is to steal, ³Û Û³ the efforts have been rather individualistic and seldom. The knowledge, ³Û Û³ the ability, and the power may be there to do this and it does happen, ³Û Û³ for most it's the curiosity that draws them. They are explorers of a ³Û Û³ sort learning, taking things apart to see how they work, discovering new³Û Û³ ways of doing things, and sharing that knowledge with others, with their³Û Û³ primary goal that of advancing knowledge. As more and more people begin ³Û Û³ to communicate via the internet, hackers became more noticeable. The ³Û Û³ implications of what can happen is what frightens the general population³Û Û³ ,making it easy for a more viable, somewhat trusted, group to instill ³Û Û³ fear of the hacking culture as a whole, rather like homophobia. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ The Mormons survived only by accepting the dictates of the government ³Û Û³ for marriage. Much of their beliefs and way of life were modified ³Û Û³ to fit the majority society's ideals, yet, they managed to survive in ³Û Û³ the onslaught against their culture and religion. Martin Luther King ³Û Û³ also led such a movement to gain civil rights for African Americans. It ³Û Û³ is movements such as these that gain acceptance for the various cultures³Û Û³ around the world. Nor are these movements particular to the 20th century³Û Û³ but is as old and probably older than written history. Great Britain ³Û Û³ once banned the Gaelic language from being written or spoken. And the ³Û Û³ language and the religion almost died as a result but it survived. The ³Û Û³ Roman Empire imposed similar restrictions along with their conquest of ³Û Û³ the world. But cultures still survived these onslaughts, not all by any ³Û Û³ means, but those that did had similar elements to their survival. All ³Û Û³ were subjected to some form of demagoguery, they made a concerted effort³Û Û³ to win recognition for their culture as a group with chosen leaders, and³Û Û³ educated the rest of the world about their culture and what it means to ³Û Û³ be a part of that culture. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ The hacker culture is facing the same dilemmas. As more and more sites ³Û Û³ related to hacking and security go down and governmental interference ³Û Û³ increases, the community as whole is becoming very disorganized and ³Û Û³ fragmented. The very fact that names like script kiddies and white hat ³Û Û³ hackers are becoming the buzzwords is evidence of the divided camps ³Û Û³ among the culture itself, leaving a whole spectrum of members lost, ³Û Û³ without guidance or support from like minded individuals, and few, if ³Û Û³ any, apparent leaders. Unfortunately, this is also part of the process; ³Û Û³ the divide and conquer phase of demagoguery. One cannot but wonder if ³Û Û³ this culture will survive this threat to their existence and live to ³Û Û³ gain acceptance from other cultures. ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ §ilentwing§ ³Û Û³ ³Û ÛÃÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ´Û %%T%%%H%%%E%%%%%%%%E%%%Y%%%E%%%%%%%%O%%%F%%%%%%%%A%%%%%%%%S%%%T%%%O%%%R%%%M%% Û³ÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛÛ³Û Û³ ³Û Û³ SO WHO DO YOU WANT TO ROOT TODAY?
