The world is in the process of revolution. Social activism has been renovated due to the impacts of the new devices of social media. New tools such as twitter and facebook and others have made it much easier for the vulnerable and powerless individuals to team up, work together and raise their voices to demand for better services. During 2009, many people held demonstrations in Moldova to criticize against their communist government. The protest was termed the Twitter Revolution due to the actions in which protestors coordinated. After a few months, student demonstrations stormed Tehran. The government department adopted anomalous action of wanting twitter to ban the operation of its website. The state department considered twitter as a dangerous tool, which had heightened tension among the students. Without adopting twitter, Iranian citizens could not have empowered themselves or gained confidence to advocate for democracy and freedom (Gladwell 23).
