Abstract:

Citizenship belongs to the information millennium and the cyberspace. From this approach, the present era should be considered as the age and context of the cyber-citizenship making, which has directed us towards identifications, identitybuildings, and cyber anti-identities; but these are inconsistent with the nature of human based and pre-cyber citizenship. Thus the paper examines whether cyber-citizenship is superior to the pre-cyber citizenship or not? If, blessed by the presence of computer and internet, we are really more citizen and more human than our pre-cyber ancestors? If we should not be worry about the progress of cyber-citizenship, simultaneously with the degeneration of the pre-cyber human based citizenship? The mentioned issues have guided us towards discussions on the nature of cyber and pre-cyber citizenships, their social formation, the social consequences of cybercitizenship, social cohesion, identity crisis; ethical anomy; cultural degeneration; cyber self-foundation, non-real citizenship, and the social possibilities and probabilities (Threats and Opportunities) of the cyber-citizenship. Moreover an empirical image has been reflected of cyber-citizenship in the Iranian cyberspace.
