Abstract:

In recent years, with the rapid development of science and technology, communication tools have also become widespread. The increasing number of communication tools have made the world more global, the interaction between people has increased as never before, and it has begun to change the structure of society. One of the most important communication tools for this change is social media. Today, social media is a communication tool that almost every individual can easily reach with mobile phone and has become indispensable for communication especially for teenagers in adolescence. Some posts in social media can have negative impact on teenagers. It is known that social media, like the communication tools that preceded it, have increased the tendency of aggression in individuals, passivated, exposed to cultural degeneration, exploited sexual feelings and encouraged harmful habits. It is even seen that some social conflicts and rebellions have begun through social media. In addition, it is thought that the moral education that teenagers get from their families and schools is destroyed through social media. In this paper, it is aimed to investigate the views of university youth about social media in the context of religiousness and to find out how social media influences university youth by carrying out a comprehensive field research in university, especially where young people have studied and where they have largely determined future expectations. In this context, 600 students filled the questionnaire at Nine-May University and the findings were interpreted in the light of the literature search.
