الواقع الاجتماعي للمجتمع السعودي كما يصوره اليوتيوب : دراسة على برنامج برود كاست شو

Abstract EN

Many social studies addressed the use of social networks in the Saudi society, but analyzing its content did not receive researchers’ attention, especially programs that deal with the social reality of the Saudi society on YouTube Channels.

The present research aims to analyze the episodes of the Broad Cast Show series.

Using the social survey method and content analyses for the period extending from 14 June 2012 to 30 June 2015, the study has found similar results to those found by other local studies on the Saudi reality.

This indicates that the members of society experience a certain degree of cultural alienation within society itself.

The results have also shown negative and dependency values, wrong understanding of patriotism and belonging to the homeland, weakness in social relations with relatives and neighbors, along with verbal violence and the increase in consumption patterns.
