There are several languages in the world that are unique due to their authority and influence over other languages. This is due to the fact that such languages stay consistent with modernity, word generation, and life development and are supported by powerful governments in terms of politics, military, and economy, they are able to impose themselves, their words, and their modes of expression on other languages, in contrast to the languages that predominate them, which lack these resources. As a result, the English language has historically dominated all other global languages. In this sense, the nations that speak English can benefit from the economics, power, technology, and media's influence due to its bright hues. Based on this, my research paper, "Linguistic Colonialism and its Consequences, the fact of the Kurdistan Region as an Example," illustrates linguistic colonialism and its effects by painting a picture of the Kurdish language's current state in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and the dangers that surround it, as manifested in the tendency toward English and other languages on the account of the national language in schools, media, education, and other fields.

The current era is also known as the digital age, where highly developed satellites and the global internet are nascent of the modern information revolution. The digital age has impacted all activities and life areas and has become a reality. Moreover, it is inevitable and has a major role in influencing the users, whether this is a positive or negative influence, social networking sites such as Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram have attracted millions of Internet users. In recent times, it has evolved to become the most widespread and used network among Internet pioneers; especially adolescents and young people who have been liberated from the social reality restrictions category and became more free to express themselves through interaction by means of social networking, which has eventually become the users own culture, views, trends, and has affected their behavior in all aspects. Each technique, with its pros and cons, offers social networking a lot of features and services that can bring significant benefits such as an abundance of information and speed of communicating with others. At the same time can be used for bad purposes such as spreading rumors and extremist ideas, due primarily to the same user, and how his education and upbringing can get him awareness and knowledge of the risk and disadvantages of social networking when he uses it. The research deals with the role of media in community awareness, especially for adolescents and young people, the hazards of using social media, and how to face them. It requires a comprehensive strategy overseen by the concerned authorities in the country, focusing on the moral, religious, social, cultural, economic, political dimensions, science, and security. This paper is concerned with using social media to serve the Holy Quran sciences. It was based on presenting reading for social media that receive wide attention from individuals, given that it is easy to use, it went far from that by being used in different sciences and educational domains. This emerged by using it in teaching the rules of reciting the Holy Quran as one of its most important sciences. The lessons of the rules of recitation that were posted on Facebook are characterized by diversity and universality, and any user can benefit from them and grasp the content. For reason that it changed the traditional function of teaching the Holy Quran. The teaching process became a participatory one, where all the users can contribute and exchange information, in order to reach a mutual understanding of what is published from the lessons.

The goal of this paper is to shed light on the effect of social media in shaping public opinion in communities that are ruled by capitalists, as represented by the Norwegian writer Henrik Ibsen in his “An Enemy of the People.” Through a profound reading of the play, this paper aims to reflect how those who have different opinions from those of the authorities are liable to persecution and oppression. The paper also investigates the ways through which the capitalists manipulate power and authority to shape public opinion through press/ social media to serve their purposes and interests. The present study concludes that capitalism exerts an obvious effect on people and reflects that the majority’s opinion is so absolute to the extent that any other opinion is intolerable. It also shows that people are affected by the capitalist nature of the society. Public opinions are manufactured according to the consent of the majority in the society. Social media plays a major role in creating opinions and nurturing them. Instead of being an altruistic, positive force, social media exposes itself as an authority purveyor of lies. It functions as a full-time patrol to persuade the people to succumb to the majority as the only refuge for a peaceful life. Therefore, any hope for a dignified life in a community where individual freedom and individuality are respected becomes a far-fetched pursuit.

The literary scene witnessed a new and qualitative movement in the content and morphology of the literary text. It moved from the paper space to the internet world, where it found freedom in social networking sites, which abolished the monopoly of publishing houses to a virtual world free of rights controls. This interactive literary text was widely known for its popularity. It called for the challenges of technological development to meet both the critic and the creator in the world of social media, creating mechanisms of innovative understanding, keeping pace with the variables and open to the sciences of communication and its various forms. It has required greater awareness of the information revolution that has added value to the text through hypertext and world Wide Web. This shift has raised questions about the theory of literature, imagination and the authority of the media, revealing the deposits of past texts in the memory of the authors, From the kingdom of the past and the meeting of the supernatural time, where the distances were folded and achieved the theory of crossed fertilization of texts that the virtual world legitimized.

We live in a world of continual variations and they determine progress and advancement of societies. One of the major forces behind the rapidly changing reality of the world today is technological advancement and proliferation in our daily lives. Digital technology has not only transformed our lives rather it has reshaped, restructured, rearranged, and recreated different discourses related to our lives. It has transformed the ways in which people used to perceive, react, and interact with each other. Human language as a means of human communication and socialization cannot maintain a strategic distance from this change. The current paper is an effort to investigate the effect of the utilization of interpersonal organizations, Facebook as model, on language practices. The study attempts to reveal the impacts brought about by the utilization of interpersonal organizations - Facebook as model- how its effect on language. The outcomes of this analysis show that the language used on Facebook is mostly based on the use of abbreviations, either in comments or in publications. The conversations depend largely on the hybrid language that combines all languages at once, and replacing some Arabic letters with numbers, symbols, and Latin letters. Emoticons are used to convey the feelings and emotions instead of language structures. Facebook as a social networking platforms has given birth to new expressions that reflect the modernity and elegance for the users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The digital media is one of the most important means of information that university students use in their daily lives, whether in the field of study or in the process of communicating with others, knowing news, events and obtaining information, as it is easy to use and accessible to all at the lowest cost. This study sought to know the motives for the use of the Saudi universities’ students of the digital media and the repletion that have been achieved, where I reached a number of results, among the most prominent among them is that the paper journalism did not have a presence in the opinion of the study sample and was not among the uses of university students, where the result (8.5%). This result indicates the loss of the paper journalism to the most important segment of its readers is the universities’ students. The Facebook ranked last in their preferences in the digital media, it is the opposite in previous studies in some Arab countries that have found that college students prefer Facebook more than other social media. I concluded that the digital media meets their needs and that the most important repletion achieved for them is that they made them more educated and with 81% of the sample population, and that it introduced them to various events and issues, and allowed them to acquire new skills that would benefit them in their studies. The most positive advantages were the ease of obtaining information, with a large percentage of 84.4%, and 82.6% felt that its most significant disadvantage is spreading rumors, spreading extremist ideas and imaginary information, and wasting time and spreading racism and leads to laziness. This study found a correlation statistically significant between the intensity of universities’ students use of the digital media and between Twitter, WhatsApp, Snap Chat and Blogs; And the presence of a statistically significant correlation between the motivations of universities’ students using the digital media and the repletion obtained from them, also the absence of a statistically significant correlation between the universities’ students use of the digital media and scientific disciplines, and the presence of statistically significant differences between the ritual motives for the use of the digital media and scientific disciplines, regarding the repletion, the study revealed the absence of a correlation of statistically significant between universities’ students use of the digital media and the type of respondents. This study belongs to the field descriptive research which is interested in the phenomenon's by describe and analyze them. It relies on audience study to reach reliable and accurate results. The study was applied to a simple random sample of its quantity. By 390 students from King Abdul-Aziz University. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective Businesses and companies must establish enduring and advantageous relationships with their customers. Marketers have recently exerted considerable efforts to enhance the customer engagement experience in both the physical and digital realms. Concurrently, the rise of social media has presented an opportune platform for managers to facilitate communication and engage customers through innovative methods such as digital storytelling. Employing digital storytelling as a business strategy and model in branding, advertising, and product marketing results in improved customer retention, loyalty, and engagement. Despite the creative and innovative nature of engagement activities, it is crucial to address the repercussions of customer engagement to gauge the effectiveness of these initiatives in light of the emergence of new technologies. Consequently, this research aims to investigate the implications of digital storytelling-based customer engagement on social media within the tourism sector in Iran. Methodology The current investigation adopted an interpretive research philosophy, an inductive- quantitative approach, and the grounded theory strategy developed by G. Goldkuhl and Stefan Cronholm. Data collection was carried out through semi-structured interviews. The research community, comprised of experts in tourism and social media marketing in Iran, was sampled using the snowball method, resulting in a sample size of 18 individuals. Findings The study's results indicate that customer engagement can lead to either positive or negative outcomes, with each type encompassing four main categories: customer- oriented, subject-oriented, media-oriented, and environment-oriented. Overall, the research findings identify eight main categories, each with multiple subcategories. Conclusion Companies and enterprises should leverage social media platforms to actively engage with their clientele while remaining aware of the repercussions and effects on customers, the media, and the broader environmental context. Business executives can seek guidance in identifying and evaluating the outcomes of both favorable and unfavorable customer interactions. This allows them to ascertain and implement appropriate approaches, methodologies, and tactics for effective customer management. Management personnel can mitigate and eliminate adverse influences by recognizing and addressing the aftermath of negative customer interactions. By making relevant adjustments to strategies and adopting suitable methodologies, they can avoid potential harm and negative impacts on marketing efforts and brand integrity. Such actions may significantly affect customer retention and prevent defection, prompting managers to consider the implications of positive customer interactions in enhancing the adoption of effective engagement techniques. Additionally, this approach can help acquire and retain new clientele, ultimately fostering increased economic value and profitability for the enterprise. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective With the increase in the use of social media platforms by customers to buy products and services of brands, the importance of interactions between companies and customers to improve the value of brands has increased. Therefore, brand managers have changed their interactions with customers from transaction-based cooperation to relationship-based cooperation. They have realized that just as customers can co-create brand value during design, production, and marketing, conversely, they can destroy the value of brands if their interests are neglected, and their well-being is compromised. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent this phenomenon by knowing the driving forces in the co-destruction of brand value. The present study aims to identify the most effective factors contributing to the co-destruction of brand value in social media. Methodology The current research is applied in terms of its purpose. It employs a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative methods to achieve its objectives. This study utilizes a systematic review methodology of scientific literature to examine all facets of the phenomenon under investigation. The results of the search across various databases revealed 43 studies, of which only 26 were deemed most pertinent to the research's objectives. Consequently, these 26 studies were selected for detailed analysis. In the next step, to determine the structural relationships between the obtained categories and to specify the hierarchy of their influence on each other, the Dematel-Interpretive Structural Modeling method was used. Findings The systematic review findings unveiled 113 initial codes representing crucial influential components, which were synthesized into 29 concepts and further condensed into 8 overarching categories. These categories encompassed: conflict in brand value co- creation management, resistance to change, consumer exploitation, brand service shortcomings, inadequate customer relationship management, negative interactions, ineffective resource integration, and brand value co-creation myopia. The application of the Dematel-ISM technique revealed that "poor customer relationship management" emerged as the most influential variable, while "negative interactions" was identified as the most affected variable. Additionally, "conflict in co-creating brand value management" stood out as the most relevant variable among others in the analysis. Conclusion The findings indicate that the co-destruction of brand value arises from the reciprocal and concurrent negative participation of both customers and companies. In such a way that if during the process of value formation, one of the parties refuses to share resources or abuses them, it increases the possibility of hatred, rejection, and ultimately the destruction of the brand. Therefore, managers should be aware that wrong decisions about explaining brand strategies can have destructive consequences. Also, they should not forget the cooperative role of customers in the co-destruction of brand value. They need to have a fitting response to address the unreasonable expectations and selfish behaviors of some customers in using brand services. Therefore, this study has been able to inform companies about the occurrence of this destructive phenomenon by identifying the most important effective factors in co-destruction of brand value.

In modern times, the media, both print and electronic, especially social media like Facebook, WhatsApp, twitter, messenger, has become an important part of life. Communication globally with ease, while sitting in their homes, is possible due to social media.

The insult of common people as well as religious personalities are in swept now a days and is considered as freedom of expression. The paper aims to search for the causes of slanderous behaviors on social media and its solution in the light of Islamic teaching. Descriptive research methodology is adopted in this paper. The paper concludes that defaming and needlessly criticizing public figures on social media is an affront to humanity, and the practice of blackmailing men and women by posting nude photos is on the rise and is contemptuous. Presenting false news and information based on political and religious affiliations undermines the spirit of patience and tolerance in society.

"Throughout the history humanity has witnessed many ups and downs. There might have been many eras of moral lawlessness in which humanity might have suffered from lack of moral character, civilization, lack of social norms and values and many such things. But in the present era social media has emerged as a very sharp sword which has destroyed social values, norms and morality. It has proven destructive to a unprecedented level. Sometimes people share news about a person without conformation and on other times people destroy human shapes and give them resemblance with animal shapes and then share them on social media by way of comparison between human and animals. Insulting political opponents, playing with honor and dignity of others, humiliating others have become a game to play for people on social media. Many users of the social media think that there is no respect for others at all so they don’t hesitate from humiliating people. For them the only act worth doing is to protect the so called respect of the leader they follow and love. They are ready to cross any limit for this. While doing all this they forget anything and everything about civility, morality, and social values etc. someone has quite rightly said that good character is proof of good blood. While using social media one is in fact representing one’s family and blood.
