The current study attempts to explore the effect of the educational video games on enriching the social skills of underprivileged children in Saudi Arabia. It compares the social skills of underprivileged children who do and do not have access to educational video games through IPads. To accomplish the goals of the study; twenty underprivileged kindergarten's children who do not have IPads aged five years old were chosen randomly from one of the public schools in Riyadh city (school 56 for girls) to participate in the study. Ten of them were given access for the first time to educational video games through using Android IPads to enrich their social skills. The other ten children were in the control group without an access to educational video games. The researcher downloaded ten educational video games on to the IPads, which are suitable for the sample's age, culture, and study purpose. Ten IPads were given to the ten underprivileged families whom their child is an experimental group's member in this study. The sampled children were required to play these educational games for two hours daily for three months at home and for one hour at school under the supervision of their parents and teachers. The researcher used the Child's Social Scale CSS (Abdul Magsood &Al-Sarsee,2007) as a pre-post measurement to assess the level of the underprivileged Children's Social Skills. Results showed that the underprivileged children become more sociable, saying goodbey, thank you,excuse me,sorry when apologising to others, following rules and appreciating each other. In light of the results of the research, the researcher recommended schools in Saudi Arabia to use videogames to improve children's social skills either rich or poor. In addition, she recommended the commercial companies of IPads to pay attention to the underprivileged children in the country through producing economical IPads with low prices to enable them to own their personal IPads which will enhance their social skills alongside rich children.

This article scrutinises the linkage between ethnicity and people’s behaviour on Twitter. It examines how offline culture manifests itself online among Arabs. The article draws upon the literature to identify the offline ethnic characteristics of Arabs, and through interviews with and observations of Arab social media users, discovers their online ethnic characteristics. It then compares these online and offline characteristics and, through this comparison, finds that offline culture has been enacted online among Arabs, sustaining expressions of generosity, religiosity, traditionalism, female privacy, over-flattery, collectivism, tribalism, pan-Arabism, and social contracts; however, in other ways, offline culture has been counteracted online, which has led to the destabilisation of power relations between genders, elites and non-elites, and majorities and minorities. A further finding is that online culture has been enacted offline among Arabs in that online performance has exerted influence over offline ethnic identity expectations. In short, there are three main findings: offline culture has been enacted online, offline culture has been counteracted online, and online culture has been enacted offline. The take-home finding of this study is the existence of ‘e-ethnic culture’, that is, although ethnic activity online tends to be based on and reinforces offline realities and may alter offline realities as well, not all online performances have roots offline.
