1. Facebook as a refuge

For students, Facebook stands as a medium through which they flee the daily routines and construct a virtual world.

Students try to build new identities and get recognized in this virtual world. Many of them try to hide their true identities using nicknames or fake names to shape new identities.

2. Medium of communication with other friends

English became a compulsory medium that enables students shape new identities (cosmopolite citizens) and get recognized in the sphere of this new world. A world that destroyed all boundaries.
