Key to organizing on this basis would be the ideas of education and justice; education in so far as our concern is with knowing who we are meant to be; and justice in terms of an equitable application of justice across our idea of who we are. Technology acts to mediate both our identity and the power-politics that plays out within society. In post conflict situations, I can only envisage a principle in setting out and reconciling any form of national identify, in order to prevent excessive colonisation that might arise through a power-politic vacuum. Our identity sets our values which must then be adequately propagated through education, facilitated by concepts of justice and equity.
