Online Culture
21st Century Culture affords a higher level of public transparency than ever before, and actually requires it in many cases. People no longer have a high level of control over what is public information. Modern technology and associated culture shifts have changed how government works (see wikileaks), what information people can find out about each other, and the ability of politicians to stay in office if they are involved in sex scandals. This is particularly interesting for mental health professionals, whose clients can now find out their sexual orientation, home address, and many other pieces of personal information online (see digital divide for more info).

Famous quotes containing the word culture:
“Our culture still holds mothers almost exclusively responsible when things go wrong with the kids. Sensing this ultimate accountability, women are understandably reluctant to give up control or veto power. If the finger of blame was eventually going to point in your direction, wouldn’t you be?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
