by Beyza Unal, Today’s Zaman, Turkey - Today, what we have seen in states like Tunisia, Yemen, Egypt, Morocco, and Jordan have at least one tenet in common: The people are asking for diminishing inequalities on the basis of the societal level, a decrease in corruption of the state and a wider distribution of income to society as a whole. Unlike in the traditional view, social media has become an influential trigger of these revolts. Moreover, these revolts should be analyzed from a societal level and not from a state level of understanding.
