I am extremely alarmed by what I heard last night on the program "Fourth Day" which is broadcast on Channel 26. I think people should know the intention to commit irregularities.
ALARM SIGNAL IN THE CENSUS
Last night, October 21, INDEC director Ana Maria Edwin and Roxana Cuevas, coordinator of the conceptual design of the census were in "Fourth Day" which is broadcast on Channel 26. When explaining to those who apply the expanded questionnaire, Lic Edwin said that in addition to the sample selected within localities of 50,000 inhabitants or more, would also be used in the case of l you gated homes, countries, slums and indigenous communities.
amazed those statements because they mean, neither more nor less than recognize that the census is used discriminatory selection criteria, based on racial and socioeconomic characteristics that introduce differences in the responsibilities of citizens, compared to law.
The sampling method, used since 1980, with the exception of the 2001 Census, is an objective, which reduces the cost of the census, by a random selection procedure, which takes no account of any personal property in the election.
Despite that, this year in Canada has unleashed a fierce controversy over whether this extended questionnaire, may be mandatory or not, which led to the resignation of the Chief Statistician of the country.
Indeed, what is in debate in the information society, with the obvious power of technology is the right to privacy of the people. How far the state can still require that the answer growing questions about the most diverse?. What time you want to know something different from country clubs, villages or communities originating ?. Do you think the political focus?. Or everything is simple and it is arbitrarily discriminate the information required for each, for ideological reasons.
The history of the Census provides examples of attempts to abuse and misuse of this important tool. For example, census data on race was used during the war to control the Japanese community in the U.S. The most recent examples occurred in 2002 and 2003 when the Census Bureau gave the Homeland Security Department had collected information on Arab Americans. But in the decade of 30, surveys in Germany served the purpose of knowing who they were and where they were Jews. And socio-economic matters have expressed reservations in several countries.
is time that we take the protection of privacy, facing to the voracity of the state to obtain data on which reserve and use very little we know or will never know.
