From the day we open our eyes to the life, we find ourselves in spheres of cultures. We interiorize the norms of these cultures as the way of our living. First, we meet with the family culture. As we grow older we can’t escape from the codifications such as how to dress, behave, speak and what is wrong and what is right. Cultural symbols, messages and values have a crucial role in forming our social identities. Culture is a determinant and distinctive factor in our inclusive social life actions. With the emergence of globalization and cyberspace culture became more and more significant element to understand orders and disorders of the world we are living in. Just like globalization abraded borders of nation states, cyberspace also surpassed borders of the communities. Globalization linked different cultures notably in economical, political and social extents. Cyberspace interconnected the cultures in a virtual geography. Therefore this new social environment of humanity, the cyberspace, leads to new transformations and interactions of living and forgotten cultures. Cyberspace is a new social area, as an interface of the actual world, where the space and time becomes unclear. This new dimension of the existence has its own cultural adaptation to existing developments. New concepts such as online belongings and virtual identities are product of the cyberculture. How an individual user becomes and feels part of a group, communion or even an emotion having no boundaries through internet is real object of interest.

Time, the Self and Freedoom in Bergson Cifteci, Volkan (2017-12-01) Bergson argues that we live for the society which is external to us more than we live for ourselves which is our inner existence. That is, our inner existence is, for the most part, under the influence of our outer, social life. This kind of life necessarily leads to conditions in which the self is far removed from freedom, or conditions in which the self rarely acts freely. Nevertheless, Bergson tells us that freedom is in principle possible for human selves. In order to gain access to freedom, what we nee...
