Abstract
The research aims to explore the impact of modern technology and its methods (digital citizenship, social media) on enhancing national identity and combating extremism. To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical approach was adopted to identify the research variables and review the most important findings of previous studies that addressed these variables (modern technology, national identity, and extremism). In addition, a field study was conducted by distributing 500 questionnaires to a random sample of students at Jouf University and then analyzing the data using the statistical package for social sciences SPSS25. The study found a statistically significant positive impact of using modern technology and its methods (digital citizenship, social media) on enhancing national identity and a statistically significant positive impact on combating extremism. The key terms are technology, national identity, extremism, digital citizenship, and social media.
