Question

Answer 1

Answer.

In our age, suspicion and general sense of hostility toward government bureaucracy is not new, but there is now more ever before a fear that bureaucracy is out of control and this has become almost universal response to various government and scientific agencies. To this end, the naming of organisations in the popular discourses by thier abbreviated forms such as the CIA for Central Intelligence Agency, NASA for National Aeronautics Space Administration, etc. renders them an anthropomorphic quality where they are assured to exercise power over the people’s in the same capacity as an unidnetifiable human agent. In other words, these organisations invisibalise the real source of authority and create such an illusion of a centralised control having its own internal logic, and predisposes us to assume that somebody must be running things and it thus increases a sense of surveillance and social paranoia.
