Political society and the phenomenon of addiction to electronic social networking sitesAlienation, alienation and extremism))

Abstract

The phenomenon of using electronic social media has clearly expanded in all societies, and this phenomenon has become a threat to the entity of society within the state, especially after the excessive use of social media has spread to the level of addiction. This necessitated a pause in the phenomenon of addiction and an investigation into its causes, consequences, and impact on the social milieu in general and on the political community in particular, as signs of alienation, estrangement, and extremism have emerged among individuals as a result of addiction to social media, which has caused confusion and deviation of the ideas of the political community and its separation from its real reality, and the drawing of an unrealistic mental image that frames the desired change within an illusory framework in which society itself bears the negative consequences of that deviation. The clearest image that embodies that deviation is the spread of calls for extremism and the recruitment of terrorists, which creates instability in the state and society.
