Effects of Online Communities in Our Society

Abstract

When people go online, they bring with them their morals, language, etiquette, thoughts, stereotypes, taboos, values, and many other factors that make up their culture. In effect, an individual's culture is transformed into a digital framework where they mesh with other digitized people and their culture. This independent study is going to look at how technology affects people in our culture by observing how people interact with one another on various online forums.
