Algerian Women And Social Media Between Technological Necessity And Social Controls

Authors : Djadaoun Zina .

Abstract

The study, entitled “Identifying Algerian Women’s Uses of Social Media between Technological Necessity and Social Controls,” concluded the following: - Social controls are one of the most important obstacles that make women use social networks hidden from other family members, especially the father or husband, which generates aversion and lack of confidence. - Women achieve themselves through their use of social media, which has led to their openness to the outside world and enhanced their self-confidence, because they have formed friendships and social relations that suit them and are consistent with their social and psychological situation. - Through this study, it was found that technological inevitability outperformed social controls, as women, despite societal rejection, are exaggerated in the use of social media.
