  Advancements in information and communication technologies have enhanced our
possibilities to communicate worldwide, eliminating borders and making it
possible to interact with people coming from other cultures like never happened
before. Such powerful tools have brought us to reconsider our concept of
privacy and social involvement in order to make them fit into this wider
environment. It is possible to claim that the ICT revolution is changing our
world and is having a core role as a mediating factor for social movements
(e.g., Arab spring) and political decisions (e.g., Brexit), shaping the world
in a faster and shared brand new way. It is then interesting to explore how the
perception of this brand new environment (in terms of social engagement,
privacy perception and sense of belonging to a community) differs even in
similar cultures separated by recent historical reasons, as for example in
Italian and Turkish cultures.
