Mazen Nahawi was very delighted about meeting the CCMS students and research analyzing class, over 100 girls came to attended this meeting, he was very pleased and he wanted a conversation and sharing ideas with the girls rather than just a lecture. He basically talked about how powerful the social media is and how social media allowed us to have new consciences. Also that Arabic language is the fastest growing language in facebook.

He also shared his knowledge where in the past people were badly informed or not at all and sometimes had no access to the right information and mentioning the past to compare it with what social media did and its power to get that point without newspapers or other old type of media to misinform people of what happening around them.
