Abstract

If websites are means that do not restrict freedom of expression in all areas, but at the same time if there is no degree of commitment to social responsibility in the use of the media in general and in websites in particular, then it is easy to use the method in demolishing, changing facts and destabilizing of society. This is dangerous especially if there is a measure of conviction among the followers of this content that what they see as true. This may lead to the birth of all kinds of social intolerance and the absence of tolerance, and therefore, the emergence of societal violence, and the transformation of the traditional mind into a terrorist mind. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between the exposure of middle school students to websites and social tolerance.
