Keywords:
Digital Citizenship, Online Political Participation, SociologyAbstract
This academic article aimed to review the concept of digital citizenship from a sociological perspective. This was the origin of the concept of citizenship in a democratic regime. To ensure that everyone in the state and country had equal access to their rights. Therefore, it was a concept that was not just a description of the status of citizens. Rather, it described the practice of online political participation that included the ability to use digital tools, understanding social issues Including creating a mobilization network to fight against social injustice which is a characteristic of active citizens in a digital society. It was also found that the digital divide is a key issue of digital citizenship. Since people who do not had access to the internet and do not have the digital ability that may affect political participation in a democratic society and learning to develop oneself to be a good citizen of their country.
