Digital citizenship: A study in concept and dimensions

Abstract

Digital citizenship is one of the topics that occupy the attention of thinkers in order to analyze its dimensions and the pivotal nature that revolves in the orbit of information technology that occurred through the digital industrial revolution. A space of thought of Western civilization, originally linked to the concepts of equality، participation, and respect for the system of rights and freedoms organized in the duties and practice of true democracy، has emerged, all of which constitute intellectual tributaries in support of digital citizenship. This concept did not develop in terms of intellectual theorization and practical practice until after the emergence of rational political thought and the ensuing renaissance-developmental movements whose main pillar is the human being first and foremost, Between this and that, the features of the continuity of intellectual activity began to enable a global citizenship that transcends ideas and cultures.
