Modeling Social Media Effect on Civil Revolutions
to compare the results with ABM outcomes . Furthermore , we believe that SD outcomes will help us to derive an accurate analysis in our ABM approach because of its holistic power in modeling causal relationships . Our research will add value to the computational modeling area of civil revolutions . We will consider the social media ’ s effect on the relationship between grievance levels and risk threshold levels in detail and , by doing so , improve the results of our models .
