Abstract

We hear voices but we do not necessarily remember them. We participate in debates but not all debates are heard. In twenty-first century political communication has become simple, but, to make it even more complex. The questions is what makes political communication complex and why? Certainly, social media has played a colossal role in heightening this complexity. Political activism is not only a parade of mass on the streets anymore. Political activism today, is also about a parade of texts, images, videos and live conversations that takes place on a virtual platform, as you can see on the slides.
