  CHANGES IN THE HUMAN AND SOCIETY
                       BY THE INFORMATIZATION


1. AFFECT ON HUMAN BEING AND THEIER DOMINANCE
      RELATIONSHIP BROUGHT BY THE INFORMATIZATION


The society in that major information is character information (goods production society) generate a stable entity(the subject). Character information carried by distribution of printed matter is a part of the information that is extracted and conceptualized from a large amount of information brought by real society, and such information is transmitted to the entity trained in perception of the information and transmitted only information corresponding degree of understandable by the entity. As a result, a few of the dominant entity whose personality has been formed on the basis of the curated high quality relatively small amount of stable information such as character information that are written in the books, and a large number of subordinate entity whose personality has been formed on the basis of a very small amount and limited stable information that was planted by human relations and experience in the life range community are generated, so both stable entities are generated.
On the other hand, in the society in that electronic information is a major information (information society), floating entity is generated. Information is converted electronic data and huge data transmission and processing capacity of is realized, so miscellaneous large amount of information is transmitted through the various and wide variety of electronic media. Those of information include from the high-quality curated information, to information by mere misunderstanding or assumptions, inadequate and inappropriate information due to lack of knowledge, error information due to ignorance, deliberate lie information, rumor, reputational, etc, and high quality information is transmitted only through a specific high cost information circuit. As a result, a few of the dominant entity whose personality is formed and whose action determine on the basis of the high-quality curated information that has been obtained with a particular limited information circuit and a large amount of information via the Internet, and a number of subordinate entity whose personality is formed on the basis of the large amount of miscellaneous information that is often low quality and unreliable information obtained by TV and the Internet and the like are generated. Thus, while a small number of dominant entity have relatively high stability by whose personality mainly formed on the basis of wide and  high quality information that is obtained by referring to the extensive and miscellaneous information and filtering it with high-quality information, a number of subordinate entity have low stability and will be floating entity.
However, for these situation generated by the electronic information, it is possible to lower the barriers between dominant entity and dependent entity as much as possible by universally fulfilling a advanced education over a lifetime as much as possibly, and building a pluralistic information circuit and the mediation mechanism, and then dependent entity also being able to obtain and understand a information that has been obtained by dominant entity. Further, it is necessary that the dominant-dependent relationship of entities become to non-persistent and limited in each field. As a specific example to play a role as an intermediary mechanism, it is possible to include activities such as seminars and lectures performed by various organizations and groups such as NPO of many fields, and it is especially effective to distribute widely the contents of such lectures and discussions through the Internet or the like at paid or no charge. Originally the central role should played by the mass media such as television, but the mass media has become the only instigate by sensational reporting by the one-sided full commitment outlook by the supremacy to ensure the viewing rate,so it is inevitable that this remains in going to decline. Thus, an important issue that should be implemented towards the information society is the construction of education and pluralistic information circuit and the mediation mechanism.
It is to be noted that the entity(subject) of the above is a private entity as an unspecified number of individual human beings, and it is connected to the world with the relationship as a recognition and practical subjectivity that existence is defined in the historical social co-subjective, and it is not the subject that have non-historical normative and autonomous entity, which is opposed to the object of as objective reality, the so-called subject such as those placed in the subject-object relationship.

2. EFFECTS OF THE VIDEO INFORMATION CAUSE TO
                        THE HUMAN PERCEPTION SYSTEM


By realization of the enormous amount of data transmission and processing ability, it is possible to transfer the video information, especially even 3D video information, if necessary, anywhere at any time. And consequently the virtual space that is much less difference for the reality at the recognition level has being realized. For example, a person who shall receive the experience(?) in the virtual space of the game as having the same meaning and weight of the real experience, and have the recognition and take the behavior do not allowing the differences between them will come out. In extreme cases, it has become a situation that produce such as the net game addicts who would withdraw into the virtual space to escape from the reality. In this way, barriers between the virtual and the reality become lower, further substitute the reality of the experience in the virtual experience, finally trend that recognize as there is no distinction between the virtual experience and real experience will be strongly coming.
In general, even if initially there is resistance for transmitted information judging in accordance with the recognition scheme having at present, the information of the same kind are repeatedly transmitted, it will be difficult to continue the resistance for securing psychological stability in view of the structure of the human brain, so at once ignore and erase the perception of this kind of information, and finally occurs effect of imprinting that the information accept as the truth unconsciously. In particular by enormous increasing of the transmission and processing capacity of the data, it is easy to repeatedly transmit the information of a large number of the same kind information including the image information, as a result it is possible to remarkably exhibited the imprinting effect.
As described above, in the vast of the transmission and processing capabilities of such as video information, along with vanishing of the distinction between virtual and reality the imprinting effect is remarkably exhibited, there is a possibility that the sensitivity and recognition is controlled easily as it is unaware under floating of experience and recognition. As a result, there is a possibility that the real recognition is dependent on those having the option of what video information is to transmit,and recognition is governed freely.
In addition, there is a tendency to change the way of recognition from such as recognizing the realistic situation conceptually and rationally on the basis of the limited character information to recognizing directly sensuously and emotionally the situation without the intervention of a rational recognition by collectively receiving video information of a large amount of information and mistaking that the information has overall representation of the situation and thereby leading emotional reaction. Therefore, it can be considered also that the structure of the recognition system that is acquired and formed while human going social lives will be affected. In this way, with transmission of a large amount of video information, the way of recognition,i.e. the recognition system will be brought a change, so that the plasticization of the subject(entity,human) and society will be caused.
As a countermeasure against the occurrence of such a situation, it is necessary to transfer a diversified image information through pluralistic information circuit, and it is very important to prevent the monopoly and proceed the diversification of information circuit for the realization of a healthy information society. In addition, although said that "a picture is worth a thousand words", education is important to confirm again that not only appropriate reality recognition is not obtained in the limited video information, the reality is not correctly recognized by a superficial, sensory, emotional recognition obtained from the video information, and that the correct recognition of the phenomenon is obtained only after to recognize conceptually and rationally the relationship which has occurred a visible phenomenon that is generated by complications of invisible relationship and many factors, and that the recognition is to recognize the relationship.
