Introduction The world has become a global village, thanks to the development and rapid growth of the internet. From its humble beginnings in the 1960’s, internet has grown tremendously to become one of the leading stimulants of socio-economic development in countries that have embraced its usage. The term global village is used here to define a world that has almost been rendered borderless through exponential use of the internet and the World Wide Web. Communication has been globalized by modern communication technologies. People from all walks of life around the globe are now able to communicate with one another and discuss issues, ideas, and thoughts in real time. This has all been facilitated by the internet. There no longer exists physical distance hindrance for people who want to communicate and conduct business in real time. The internet has also opened up the social world, where people can actively interact with others online. Social network sites such as Facebook have become extremely important to youths who want to interact with friends around the world (Global Village – Internet, 2008). Perhaps the most commonly frequented sites in the World Wide Web are the interactive sites.

Conflict Theory This theory looks at society as a cluster of units made of the upper, middle, and the lower categories of individuals. The units are in continued conflict with one another basically because they hold varying and conflicting interests. The conflict that is characteristic of these units is only checked through the domination of an elite, exploitive and oppressive group of people. Society experiences change due to the continued conflict within these units. This theory also views the “have-nots” in society as being unjustly treated by the social systems set by the society. Such social systems are used by the dominant group in society to promote their own interests and guard their own assets regardless of the views of the disadvantaged members of society. Social systems in society may include the family unit, the political system as well as the education system.To brings an end to this conflict, power and wealth must be redistributed again through either a process of revolution or reform (Ratcliff, 2008). The term revolution has been widely used and widely abused. In a layman’s language, a revolution occurs when society changes the State. It happens when groups of people, connected by same needs and urges, take a concerted effort together in attempting to alter the nature of the State. Revolutions are not always successful, but if succ
