Abstract

In this study we try to explore the concept of maintaining social dynamics in a computer mediated society. The main focus of the research is on computer mediated communication in the society and its relation with the social dynamics. The research also analyzes many aspects of computer mediated society and how it helps in maintaining social dynamics. Finally the research describes various factors which are responsible for the computer mediated communication in a computer mediated society and tries to describe the overall effect of computer mediated communication.

CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW/SCOPE OF THE STUDY

Social dynamics theory and application

This paper discovers the perform of system dynamics (SD) modelling in the context of some theories of the social sciences. The motivation draws from from a relative study of SD and OR (Benimoff 1995) which discerned that attachments between the grounding theories of the social sciences and OR have been discovered to a much larger - and fruitful - span than the likely attachments with SD. But what is intended by social theory, and why might the undertaking of SD modelling wish to be associated to it? In considering the social theory of any modelling set about we can disclose distinct components of the process. We can use Eden's headings and so converse about an approach as comprising of devices, methods, procedure and theory. Although these components draw from from the study of assembly conclusion support advances they are in the identical essence as Checkland's investigation of systems approaches and may sensibly be directed to any OR approach. (Conrad 2005)

With SD we then have simulation 'tools' for example iThink™ and Vensim™ and we provide work diverse 'techniques' of knowledge elicitation, model validation and quantitative simulation. Combined with directions about the correct building of forms and the aspirations of the set about, these all join to pattern the 'method' of SD. Now when we inquire what the theory is, it is clear that we are inquiring a deeper question. In chasing the social theory of SD we are inquiring, “What model of social reality is inferred by the... methodology”. (Burton 1990)
