A number of people in the middle east have disputed their governments competency. As a result this has led to widespread carnage and rioting in an attempt to overthrow various dictatorships and evoke freedom. It is still unclear how such movements amassed such a following in the short space of time. I intend to identify the full extent that social media played in the the overthrowing of various governments such as Syria and Egypt.

I intend to use systemic approach along with SSM modelling to gain a clear perspective and identify the role that social media played during this period of controversy.
