Informational Aggression in Context of Epistemological Models of Info Sphere

Abstract

The paper is devoted to some aspects of information wars that exert a great influence on any member of modern society in our contemporary world. The authors of the paper introduce the concepts of "Other" and "heroic" and discuss the approaches to the interaction in the infosphere. The emphasis is put on the process of interaction (collision) of wills and interests of political subjects. The problems of infowars are considered in the light of totality, conflict, egocentrism, isolation, fatalism, relativism and other approaches. The authors also describe the interaction models that provoke a rupture of the epistemological system and the primary reality in the sphere of practical activity, splitting consciousness and increasing the general level of information and active aggression. In the framework of retrospective and prospective, the authors are able to single out relevant approaches to the description of the info sphere and informational aggression. In all cases, the authors are confronted with incomplete images of the world, declaring their completeness and practical significance. The problem is that there are models that predict an impending civilization crisis at the global level and claim to be the universal recipe for overcoming this crisis.

Socio-cultural Aspects of Informatization in the Context of the Effective General (Secondary) Education Formation

“…Indeed, ICT is simultaneously perceived as a fundamental threat to the humanity's existence. Sometimes it is considered as a source of order and a source of chaos, as a new good and a new Evil -and often in the same declarations or different speeches of the same subjects there is an appeal to formally incompatible epistemological models of the digital world perception [6]. It is quite expected, since the info sphere at the point of bifurcation really gives grounds for almost any, however positive or negative assessment.…”

“…Nevertheless, neither a real understanding of informatization goals and prospects, nor a qualitative tracking of its results, no an analyses of expected and real social consequences at the moment have not been carried out. In fact, the educational community is in a state of empirical search and adaptation in conditions of a modern society transformation [6]. In this situation, the priority task is to carry out a set of monitoring studies, the results of which should become the basis for the construction of a fundamental model of the general education system digital transformation.…”
