Social Theory in Online Community

Published on: December 2, 2008

Add as a friend, Join the group, Please Donate, Join a cause, Find a Date. Yes, all the things that you can do in the online social network. How interesting and imaginative!

But, do you think all the classical social theories apply to the online community. I mean does the human behaviour change in the Virtual World or is it the same any way? There are chances that the Virtual Worlds may see a human behaviour that is not seen in the real world. That might be strange. I mean, how can it vary. But the chances are that they will. This can be due to the new possibilities and the moral issues that bind us in the online network.

The geographical barriers are breaking and a new kind of community is taking shape in the clouds and in the electrical database.

I have only one question. Is this the MATRIX? Do you think that someday, we will be so into the virtual worlds that we will forget that the real world exists and that we may need some kind of saviour to make ourselves conscious of it. Think about it.
