Yes Social Media can help becausenowadays those media play an important role in several fields.

conditions.

I think social media can help a lot but it needsdedicated platform that can be controlled.

The problem beyond that participation is the truthfulness of the information relayed.

Lamia, Morocco

SOCIAL POLL COMMENTS

Yes, social media can help fight corruption provided that the National

Forum for the fight against this scourge can have the means and instruments to

accomplish its mission.The problem of social networks in

France: not enough inter-actions! a relay of information is insufficient

« A tribe is a group of people

connected to one another, connected to

a leader, and connected to an idea. For

millions of years, human beings have

been part of one tribe or another. A

group needs only two things to be a

tribe: a shared interest and a way to

communicate. ... Tribes need

leadership. Sometimes one person leads,

sometimes more. People want connection

and growth and something new. They want

change. ... You can't have a tribe

without a leader - and you can't be a

leader without a tribe. »
