The book asks why the penetration rate for social media differs in different countries: are psychological and social factors at play? Each chapter considers national identity, the legitimacy crisis, social capital, information and media literacy, and socialization. Religious attitudes are introduced as a key factor in social media, with Arabic countries in the Middle East and North Africa being characterized by Islamic trends. The insight gained will be helpful for analysing online social media effects internationally, and predicting future movements in a social context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Reza Jamali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1843347571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781843347576\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Chandos Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.40d","brand":"Reza Jamali","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113736515839,"sku":"9781843347576","price":78.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0fac04c5-ad23-4130-a46e-a73bae7bee4d.jpg?v=1769616980","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/online-arab-spring-reza-jamali-9781843347576","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
