Abstract

It is clear that contemporary youth, especially in our society, are practicing most of their life activities through two social modes: the community of reality and the virtual community that exists through the infinite electronic space. Hence, it is logical to be culturally shaped in two ways that may diverge or agree or may dominate one another. Accordingly, attention should be drawn quickly and centrally to the study of the cultural composition that will inevitably bring the society as a whole and direct it to destinations that may not be desirable at the general community level. Pierre Bourdieu's "Habitus" is a theoretically appropriate basis for starting the study of the social personality of young people to identify their basic cultural components, which were formed through the virtual community and gained symbolic capital that increases their desire to control the real world,. and practice symbolic violence.
