articles that form the foundation of this analysis is Disruptive Behavior and Social Concerns (Barnes, 2015). Included in this analysis is an overview of the ethical, moral and legal implications of cyberterrorism, network and computer hacking, computer viruses, hate speech and pornography. The analysis strives to provide a balanced analysis of each area, illustrating how the inherent freedoms the Internet also provide powerful catalysts for criminals, hackers and hate groups to thrive. The paradoxical nature of Internet freedom is most clearly demonstrated in the examples of how hackers had been able to permeate a wide variety of systems and gain access to valuable data, intent on destroying it (Barnes, 2015). This article discusses the technologies underlying these areas in light detail, choosing instead to concentrate on the societal dilemmas of having an entirely open publishing medium that anyone at any time can use either ethically or unethically. The bottom line is that Disruptive Behavior and Social Concerns (Barnes, 2015) underscores how it's everyones' responsibility to strive for greater security, verification and societal stability of the Internet as a communications medium.

The second study and peer-reviewed paper, Social Networking: Communication Revolution or Evolution? (Coyle, Vaughn, 2008) seeks to answer the question of whether college students are using social networks to form new friendships or retain and strengthen the ones they already have. The researchers found that not a single college student initiated a new relationship entirely online via Facebook or comparable social networks. Instead, the researchers discovered that Facebook is a very effective proxy for being physically with existing friends, and the more trusted they are, the more powerful the effects of social media in galvanizing relationship together for the long-term (Coyle, Vaughn, 2008).
The bottom line from this study is that Facebook and comparable social media sites are no substitute for connecting with someone in person first and then connecting with them on Facebook. Facebook is a relationship maintainer first, with added value for creative expression and sharing of ideas with existing friends.

The third study, Differences in Engaging in Sexual Disclosure Between Real Life and Cyberspace Among Adolescents: Social Penetration Model Revisited (Yang, Yang, Chiou, 2010) interviewed 419 Taiwanese adolescents regarding their willingness to engage in sexual disclosure and relationship intimacy online vs. In person (Yang, Yang, Chiou, 2010). The study relies on the social penetration model that states disclosure is correlated to trust in the confidant being told personal histories of relationship intimacy, and is inversely correlated to group trust and disclosure, hence the u-shaped curve (Yang, Yang, Chiou, 2010). The study concluded that male Taiwanese teenagers are more extroverted and trusting, and as a result are sharing more of the specifics of their personal histories. Taiwanese girls aren't and more closely follow the U-shaped curve of the social penetration model (Yang, Yang, Chiou, 2010). Males are markedly more assertive online, even when the identity of the person they are conversing with isn't entirely known (Yang, Yang, Chiou, 2010). The hypothesis that Taiwanese boys are less risk averse and connote more experiences with greater status in their core social groups was further validated in the study (Yang, Yang, Chiou, 2010)
