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:
“Let a man attain the highest and broadest culture that any American has possessed, then let him die by sea-storm, railroad collision, or other accident, and all America will acquiesce that the best thing has happened to him; that, after the education has gone far, such is the expensiveness of America, that the best use to put a fine person to is to drown him to save his board.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
