PurposeThe similarities between the developments of the United States (U.S.) and China into global powers (countries with global economic, military, and political influence) can be analyzed through big data analysis from both countries. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether or not China is on the same path to becoming a world power like what the U.S. did one hundred years ago.Design/methodology/approachThe data of this study is drawn from political rhetoric and linguistic analysis by using “big data” technology to identify the most common words and political trends over time from speeches made by the U.S. and Chinese leaders from three periods, including 1905-1945 in U.S., 1977-2017 in U.S. and 1977-2017 in China.FindingsRhetoric relating to national identity was most common amongst Chinese and the U.S. leaders over time. The differences between the early-modern U.S. and the current U.S. showed the behavioral changes of countries as they become powerful. It is concluded that China is not a world power at this stage. Yet, it is currently on the path towards becoming one, and is already reflecting characteristics of present-day U.S., a current world power.Originality/valueThis paper presents a novel approach to analyze historical documents through big data text mining, a methodology scarcely used in historical studies. It highlights how China as of now is most likely in a transitionary stage of becoming a world power.

A partir de exemplos dos Estados Unidos, O’Neil analisa como essas ferramentas podem reproduzir os preconceitos de seus formuladores, perpetuando dinâmicas de desigualdade.ABSTRACTIn her book Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy, Cathy O'Neil analyses the dangers from the automatization of socioeconomic processes via algorithms and big data analysis systems. Using examples from the United States, O'Neil analyses those tools may reproduce the prejudices from the modelers and perpetuate dynamics of inequality.Palavras-chave: Big Data; Globalização; DemocraciaKeywords: Big Data; Globalization; DemocracyDOI: 10.12957/rmi.2016.25939 Recebido em 09 de Outubro de 2016 | Aceito em 24 de Outubro de 2016Received on October 09, 2016 | Accepted October 24, 2016

Selection Of

This paper proposes to give some account and critique of Peter Berger's thought as contained in a selection of his books. No note will be taken of his witty and mordant critique of the Protestant Churches in the United States, The Noise of Solemn Assemblies (1961), nor yet of The Social Construction of Reality (1966), which is a more technical book than the others which will be dealt with here. These are The Precarious Vision (1961), Invitation to Sociology (1963), The Social Reality of Religion (1967) (more entertainingly entitled in its original American edition, The Sacred Canopy), and A Rumour of Angels (1968).

Agent Of Change

The purpose of this chapter is to describe and report the development of an original theoretical work which emerged from comparative and international empirical research. The theory is called, “Technological Play Theory.” In sharing about Technological Play Theory, this study has three purposes. First, the study explains how Technological Play Theory emerged in a grounded theory way (Glaser & Strauss, 1968) from research findings about the social construction of technology among elementary school teacher and students in England, Cuba, India, South Korea, and the United States. Second, the study examines the contours of the Technological Play Theory in relationship to empirical findings. Third, the study examines how Technological Play Theory can be empowering and utilized as an “agent of change” in education and schooling.
