Internet War


In the age of information almost everything in the world changes very fast in compare to the past, for instance people's behavior, wearing cloth, relationship and friendship and even traveling .Most of the time, I really try to be optimistic and see every thing good and bright. Changing people cloths in the world can not be so bad if we think about how convenience and comfort they are . I am not worried also about how people around the world change their languages as far as I think an international language can increase better and easier understanding of people . But how much can we be optimistic? Do you agree with me it is crazy that many old civilizations forget all about fathers customs? Do you think Internet is the most guilty one to spread western culture and causes many young generations of old countries attract to the west ? If you are still optimistic as much as I was ,please look at online advertising of US and Europe products more rigorous than before. How about online games? Can you see any thing unethical and abnormal which is just acceptable in western culture? Soon, you will find that they try to dominate their culture in other countries slowly and subtly without any barrier or defence.In my opinion ,as I mentioned at the first line every thing changes in this age and one of them is how countries war. Obviously not too many soldiers need for battling and not too many weapons require. Computer programmers are their soldiers and online ads or games and many other tools replace with guns and swords. The most painful thing is there is not any horn to alert that the war start and enemies do not wear armor in which can recognize friends among enemies or enemies among friends.

Football, Internet and Racism

300 million people are estimated to access Internet in the world. Among them you can see racist , violent and extremist who try to learn about this new medium and use it for their purpose. Internet is a very strong tool for individuals, organizations and groups who want to reach new audiences and recruiting especially among young generation.In 1995 just one site on the Internet has racism activity ,then in 1997 the statistics increased to 600 and today unfortunately it goes up to more than 2500 sites.
Sports world also are used as a tool for racism. For instance some groups that link to the neo-Nazis and right wing extremist use Internet to spread racism behaviour inside and outside football stadiums.Football supporter sites are the most active party in racism and xenophobia . Furthermore, some players, managers and clubs also work in this part but their activities are invisible to all.
