Research Title: Improving Jordan’s Media Capacity to Counter Violent Extremism and Terrorism Media Literacy and Performance &Content Quality Perspective

Abstract: Modern media outlets are essential communication tools and help their audiences remain in touch with reality and interact with its novelties. They increasingly have an important role in explaining issues and presenting them to public view and opinion, especially issues concerning national security. The importance of the role media plays across all different facets of modern life has become obvious to most people, as has the potential danger in it. When it comes to education, culture, economy, and security, studies show that media has become a prominent aspect of the modern age and an effective tool in forming a public and societal conscience. Within a society and in making sure public opinion is formed in accordance with relevant knowledge about its security and well-being, the media serves a crucial role. In order to fulfill this role correctly, media must have authority and publishing responsibility, as well as being guided by professional assets, in order to effectively contribute to achieving a set of positions related to the individual and society, especially what connects to combatting extremism and terrorism, and dealing with their consequences. It is important to consider the values to which His Majesty King Abdullah II referred in his speech before the United Nations in 2019, of tolerance and justice and coexistence, and the importance of unveiling the logistics of terrorism and defining the role that media outlets play to combat it. His Majesty affirmed the need to “amplify the voice of moderation. It is one of the greatest ironies of our time that extremist voices use advanced media to propagate ignorant ideas! We must not let our screens, airwaves, broadband and social media be monopolized by those who pose the greatest danger to our world. We too must populate our media, and more importantly, the minds of our young people, with the purity and power of moderation.” Consequently, enhancing Jordanian media’s ability to combat extremism and terrorism through a lens of media literacy is achievable through the development of a modern Jordanian media system that ensures the quality of performance and content. Jordanian media must formulate its content to stimulate political, social, economic, and cultural development and growth in the context of Jordan’s policy of openness and in alignment with global development. file:///C:/Users/aj8in/Downloads/_دليل هداية بالإنجليزية 27-12-2020 (1).pdf

Abstract: The 'Self' and the 'Other' are two philosophic concepts that are represented in this study to reflect upon the relations between East and West, considering in particular the dialectical relation between Arabs and Americans. Analysis of selected history events introduces such inter-relations being mainly described on the basis of colonialism, terrorism, and peace on the other hand. Arab-American relations were questioned in the Arab region, where Arabs considered the relation in terms of American polarization as dominant and supporting the Jewish presence, which is mainly the reason behind the cultural clash that ended into a clear political clash by the rejection of the Deal of the Century. The study concluding that Arabs were used to decades of rejecting and denying the (other) in different stages of history because of their cultural heritage ; and that they should rather now reconsider their standings to make it more humanitarian seeking peace rather than hatred and violence .

Abstract: This study aimed at exploring the implications of the use of social media on political development from Philadelphia University students’ perspective. The researcher adopted qualitative research approach proposed by Strauss and Corbin on a sample of (200) students out of (12,000) as total population in the academic year (2016-2017). This approach incorporated three basic elements; the theoretical sensitive coding, that is, creating theoretical solid ideas from the information to clarify the phenomenon discussed; theoretical sampling, that is, choosing whom to meet or what to see next as indicated by the condition of the state of theory generation, and that implies starting data analysis with the first interview, and writing down early hypotheses; and the need to contrast phenomena and contexts to make the theory valid. The researcher concluded that it was the phrase of “Political participation” as a probable key category that led to the validation of the perceived hypothesis. https://dsr.mutah.edu.jo/index.php/jjlps/article/view/220/208
