- Description
- Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is aiding the transi-tion of society into information society and ultimately knowledge society. Embedded within ICT are the cultural and philosophical undercurrents of the society in which the ICT solutions are developed, currently pre-dominantly the Western culture. The proliferation of ICT is therefore in-advertedly leading to more Westernization of the world. It is important, therefore, that ICT solutions are culture sensitive and flexible enough to be situated within different cultures. To that end, we utilize Herman Dooyeweerd’s Theory of Modal Aspects to analyze a framework we has developed for implementation of locally situated knowledge based systems, to determine its efficacy in addressing the different modal as-pects, which make up the total experience and cultural expressiveness of societies.
