Description

As you realised contemporary time's arena of social media, where digital technologies are constantly reshaping how people communicate, construct identities, build communities, and experience social inequalities. Yet, the realities of digital society are often more complex than what appears on our screens. This book brings together two complementary sociological studies examining the relationship between digital spaces and social realities. The first explores how digital platforms influence collective identity, online activism, health-related support networks, and educational inequalities. The second investigates the problem of overgeneralization in digital research, highlighting how selective representation, viral content, and unequal digital participation can distort our understanding of society. Drawing on sociological perspectives, these studies encourage a more critical and inclusive approach to understanding digital life. By examining both the social possibilities of digital platforms and the limitations of researching them, this book invites readers to question whose experiences become visible, whose remain overlooked, and how digital society can be studied more responsibly. It will be of interest to students and researchers of sociology, digital sociology, media studies, and contemporary social change.
