The Impact of the Culture on the Ethical Standards of Using ?Facebook? in Developing Country: Case Study - Yemen
Dr. Arwa Y. Aleryani
Abstract: New social media has become increasingly popular components of our everyday lives in todays globalizing society. Facebookas a service where users create personal profiles, add other users as friends and exchange messages, including automatic notifications when they update their own profile. To balance the needs and interests of a global population, Facebook protects expression that meets the community standards outlined on its page. This research aims to investigate the Yemeni users behaviors when using social networking such as facebook according to the ethical standards. The results showed good behaviors in general, in the other hand there are some bad behaviors especially towards the professors/colleagues. From my point of view, facebook gives users the chance to post their feelings, opinions freely and without care about the ethical standard which they follow in their real life. This might be indictor to lose the ethical standards by the time in our real life towards the others rights. This research recommends putting more rules and clear announcements and listing more laws to protect the communications and create clean environment.
