Taking advantage of the actuality news about the revolutions of the society from North Africa to Middle East I look for this in an article that I have found, again, in “The Guardian”, which talks about the lasts social revolutions that have occurred in Egypt and Tunisia, and how the social networks have influenced, and in what way, in these revolutions.
The article says that the old models of organization no longer work and especially in the new contexts. Who thinks that the social networks only serve for social objectives and entertainment, is in the wrong way, because actually these revolutions that we mentioned were proposed by the social networks, so it can makes us an idea to the social impact that this media has in our society. This way to protest against a government or a law, which consists in people getting together at a point in one city is what “The New York Times” calls “the rise of the second superpower”.
Experiences like this revolutions have led us to explore new types of institutions, the called network movements. One of this network movements is which the text exposes, “Avaaz.org” that is nowadays the best example of this kind of movements. Through “Avaaz”, millions of citizens all over the world have met to change government policies and for the social reconstruction of some countries.
This kind of networks work with the solidarity combining old and new tactics to make changes through movements for civil rights and independence.
We are in front of the biggest revolution in our history, the media revolution. The social networks can get together millions of people all over the world to change anything even overturn governments.
Good! Well done. Nice summary.

This article from “The Guardian” talks about the latest social revolutions that have occurred around the world like Egypt and Tunisia, and how the social network have influenced.
ResponderEliminarAs I comment before on other articles Facebook didn’t realized how powerful it is. I am saying this because social networks are not just to meet people or upload photos of your family and friends, are also a website and a tool of communication that everyone can get in.
Actually both of the revolutions that we have comment on this article were proposed by the social networks. They create a webpage inside Facebook trying to claim the issues on their government or law.
On the past years because of these revolutions they create network movements. On this networks movements millions of citizens share their opinions about the different societies we have around the world.
In my opinion these kind of networks help society, but at the same time promotes the violence of the civilians that are against the government.
As Marc said in his conclusion, one of the biggest revolutions that this kind of networks can cause is the media revolution. Because social networks can meet thousands of people for the same cause.
