The frontal teaching carried out with the help of slide projections will be accompanied by moments of discussion relating to current issues with respect to which the usefulness of a sociological analysis through the notions being studied is highlighted; concrete facts will also be examined, in order to develop an adequate ability to read and execute the texts.

Extended program
Understand and analyze the phenomena connected to networks and globalization, media policies. Political economy of inequalities. How to develop the tools for reflection and critical analysis. Globalization thus understood and timed is not a natural phenomenon, but the product of a specific culture and economic policy, established in most of the world. Its inspiring criteria are: structural adjustments of public budgets; the liberalization of capital movements; the de-regulation of the labor market; privatizations; the reduction in all fields (health, social security, education) of the intervention and dimensions of the public apparatus. A different economic policy would presumably have generated, or contributed to generating, a different globalization process
Obiettivi Agenda 2030 per lo sviluppo sostenibile
From the analysis of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development and of the 17 Goals envisaged therein, it can be deduced that digital security and sustainability are mixed today, allowing the role of cybersecurity to be directed towards the protection of infrastructures and also reconciling a general interest in sustainability.

The redefinition of business operating standards and the creation of new business models capable of responding to the economic, social and environmental needs of future generations derive from the integration of sustainability into IT security.
