View source for Accountability arenas

[[Category:Tools]]{{seed}}
==Overview==
Civilization currently has four (possibly five) major official arenas in which issues are ultimately resolved by dialogue and disputation.
* science
* markets
* democracy
* the court system
* the internet (newly emerging)
==New Tools==
The invention and rapid spread of computers, as well as the extremely rapid development of new software, is causing new computer/internet-based tools to arise on a scale measurable in years or months. See [[Issuepedia:Dispute Resolution Technology|Dispute Resolution Technology]].

==Notes==
How does "public opinion", as arrived at by discussion between individuals (and informed, perhaps unfortunately, by popular media) fit into this?
