Acknowledgment
I would like to thank, our faculty Ms. Michelle Draper, for her generous cooperation and constant guidance that made me really confident about the desired outcome of my research.
I am grateful to all my Facebook friends who responded to my surveys and without their invaluable support it would have been difficult to successfully complete my report. I would also like to thank my parent for helping me in printing all my research work
Finally, I would like to thank Jaharatul Kobra, Shiron Akhter and M. Ahsan Ullah for helping me out throughout the research.

Facebook Addiction
Abstract
Facebook is now-a-days most used social networking media and to some people it is the most widely used communication tool. In Bangladesh it has such significance. Especially among the university students its popularity is sky high. Most of the students use is as a medium to stay connected with their friends and family. Bangladesh as a Muslim and economically developing nation offers only a few recreational facilities to its young generation. And for the female members it is even below that. I expected through my research I would find out that female students of the private universities of Dhaka city are more into Facebook than their male counterparts. But after conducting surveys and online research, to my surprise I found that, gender has nothing to do with Facebook addiction.

Participants may use the sites to interact with people they already know offline or to meet new people. Facebook, on the other hand, enables its users to present themselves in an online profile, accumulate "friends" who can post comments on each other's pages, share photos,...
