social networks and political change arises

The

Network of life have become the tool of communication technology more grows every day worldwide, has contributed to the democratization of information, providing space for the political opinion of cyber-activists without this necessarily involve the participation policy, but can only express discontent, have a debate on governance, or the behavior of politicians. Internet penetration is still low in developing countries, but we should note is that citizens feel that their interventions in cyberspace can influence decision making and this we must understand the political.

We can not deny the growth of social networks in our country. Eight hundred eleven thousand people use networks, however, we sin when we extrapolate the success achieved elsewhere in the U.S. especially in the case of Costa Rica. For various reasons our political reality is very different, access to the Internet, despite its rapid growth, it is compared to the northern neighbor. But more and even the U.S. has been able to quantify whether the gain or loss of a presidential election due to new technological tool. A counterexample may be mentioned that the expenditure of Global political propaganda every day grows more in the mainstream media, especially television.

believe that the role of social networks in the Middle East has been overstated. While it is true that networks play an essential role as a technological tool that helped spread the message and report on the unfolding political situation at the time, the networks themselves do not make a revolution. This can only be given if the conditions for economic and political conditions permit. networks are not able to contribute to social change if the economic and social conditions are not present. The political role played by the Muslim Brotherhood through the years working with economically disadvantaged groups and the media can not be ignored in Egypt as one of the factors that led the recent events. If there are no organized groups or political parties, which can generate chaos is a lack of political organization.

In the last municipal elections in our country, in December 2010, the networks were used for partisan campaigning. But the work of local leadership in the metropolitan area was factor, let alone in rural areas where the Internet has a very limited influence.

In conclusion, a reflection. Social networks should not be a means of avoiding political responsibility, as often happens. The complaint should be part of a commitment to action and their motivations.
