Summary
Social networking sites received plenty of interest from all society categories, especially young people, and turned to be tools for exchanging and spreading behavioral models, ideas, views and opinions. It became a changing factor at all levels and domains and decision-making, as a result the young generation lost the ability to distinguish between the right and the wrong, this in its turn created a crisis and lead to behavioral deviations, extremism, exaggeration, terrorism, atonement, bloodshed and infringement on money and chastity (Asiri, 2003). The nation’s morals and psychological spirits were paralyzed and could not move in the right direction, and unusual behavior prevailed. The scarcity of the studies tackling moral crisis caused by the snss was the reason for the authors’ interest to conduct the current research
