This systematic review explores the role of social media platforms in facilitating political mobilization, highlighting their impact on information dissemination, grassroots organizing, public opinion formation, and the challenges they pose, such as misinformation and government surveillance. The review draws on key case studies, including the Arab Spring, the movement, and the 2020 around the world protests, to analyze the ways in which social media has been instrumental in advancing political causes. It also examines the limitations of social media in political mobilization, including issues of slacktivism and the difficulty in converting online engagement into tangible political change. Additionally, the review explores the risks associated with the use of social media for political activism, such as digital surveillance, censorship, and the spread of misinformation. The review concludes by advocating for a more nuanced understanding of social media's role in political movements and suggests further research into the strategies needed to maximize its benefits while mitigating its risks. This review contributes to the growing body of literature on digital activism and highlights the complex and multifaceted nature of social media's impact on contemporary political movements.

The study aims to explore the current education system of children with autism and find out the possibility of using ICT for children with autism in Bangladesh. Purposive sampling was used in this qualitative study, and a semi-structured interview questionnaire was created to collect the required data. 30 respondents in all were interviewed for the study using 10 IDIs, 18 KIIs, and 2 FGD sessions (8+7). According to the study's findings, pupils with autism spectrum disorders benefit from using information and communication technology (ICT). Children who cannot learn to speak are taught alternative or visual communication techniques, and speech pathologists develop and assist in the use of alternative communication methods, such as sign language, technology, etc. Different strategies (applied behavioral analysis, picture exchange communication, language teaching methods, increasing social interaction, instilling socially consistent behavior) are formulated based on the abilities of those who can speak. The education system for children will be enhanced and children with autism will make up a significant portion of Bangladesh's workforce if the government can employ technology and all available contemporary techniques of teaching them.
