“…These Web-based documents contain the extensive and enduring political statements of groups actively involved in movements (Chen, Chung, Qin, Ried, Sageman, & Weimann, 2008;Kropczynski & Nah, 2011;Ackland & O'Neil, 2011). Social media generate rapid and widespread access to these fundamental Web documents and virally diffuse them, in addition to their movement management affordances.…”

From a conventional theoretical perspective on political science, technological media is considered a powerful inductor of young citizen's attitudes and behavior. The Internet is generating an environment where new forms of social interaction between politics and society take place. These tools were widely used by Brazilian youth in protests against the government in July 2013. Could this be the beginning of a new process of political socialization? I believe that this new media technology is structuring new collective identities and some forms of political sophistication among the youth. I hypothesize that this type of political involvement, taking into account the type of youth's political culture, does not contribute for the construction of a new sense of citizenship among the young citizens. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the effect of the use of Internet in the political socialization process of the youth (13 to 24 years old) in the South of Brazil. The data utilized is the result of a survey research conducted from March 2015 to April 2016 with 1964 adolescents in public and private high schools selected through multistage probabilistic sampling. The questionnaire consisted of 70% of structured questions and 30% of open questions. The results showed among the young citizens a conformism which results from a feeling of impotence, of not being capable of doing something to change things, and hostility with the political institutions that do not provide equal opportunities for participation for the youth. Furthermore, it is argued that the use of Internet has not had a significant impact in the construction of another type of youth's political culture.

“…At one level, a hyperlink can be thought of purely in terms of information provision and hence a sign of authority (Kleinberg, 1999) or trust (Davenport and Cronin, 2000) regarding the information on the page that is being hyperlinked to and the author of the information (the website owner). However, in the context of debate or contention over a social issue (such as abortion), it is also relevant to think of hyperlinks as reflecting communicative or strategic choices , organizational alliance building and message amplification (Park et al, 2004), and tools for the construction of information public goods in the context of collective action (Fulk et al, 1996;Shumate and Dewitt, 2008) and online collective identity (Ackland and O'Neil, 2011).…”

“…However, in many examples of Web 1.0 research it is not possible to identify the population from which a sample is being drawn. Authors such as Lusher and Ackland (2011) and Ackland and O'Neil (2011) have identified samples of websites using techniques similar to those proposed by Rogers and Zelman (2002) for researching 'issue networks': entering key words or terms into search engines to identify relevant websites and then using a web crawler to iteratively discover other relevant websites (this is an example of what Rogers and Zelman refer to as 'public trust logics' -finding groups commonly linked to by players trusted to be important in the debate). 4 This technique of using a search engine and web crawler to construct a sample of websites is a form of snowball sampling and it must be emphasized that it does not lead to a representative sample.…”
