The engagement between young generation and social media in Indonesia is crystal clear. On the one hand, politicians are aware that social media is an efficient and effective medium for interacting with society. It can be seen that, there’s open chance for politician to embrace social media as their medium to interact with “youthizen” (youth netizen). This research aimed to describe the role of social media in building the political consciousness of the young generation. By using mixed methods (survey for quantitave method and depth interview for qualitative method) to high school students and those who influence their social media habit. The result showed that youthizen have strong engagement with social media but low political awareness. They’re even disaggree to the usage of social media for their own political personal opinion. It also showed that they’re vulnerable in facing social media hoax. Those situations might put them as targets by dirty political intension.

Sleep Procrastination literature has focused on the behaviors individuals engage in before going to bed (Bedtime Procrastination) but not on the behaviors individuals engage in after going to bed (While-in-Bed Procrastination). The main goal of this study is to explore whether this While-in-Bed procrastination is a novel phenomenon that adds to the Sleep Procrastination literature. The study was conducted online with 400 high school students (Mage = 16.56; 139 males) recruited through personal contacts and social media. The Bedtime procrastination scale was adapted and validated for this sample, whereas the While-in-Bed Procrastination scale was developed for this study. Data show a low correlation (r = 0.158 **) between Bedtime and While-in-Bed Procrastination scales, suggesting that Sleep Procrastination may be composed of the two facets. Additionally, results showed that more Bedtime Procrastination was related to later waking time and later dinnertime hours, whereas more While-in-Bed Procrastination was linked to being male, later desired time to sleep, and earlier dinnertime hour. Findings indicate that solely assessing Bedtime Procrastination as representing the procrastination of Sleep is limited and overlooks a significant part of this behavior. This exploratory study adds a new perspective to the literature by stressing the role of While-in-Bed Procrastination, thus opening new research pathways.

In modern times it is marked by the discovery of advanced technology, it requires a creative young generation, so that they can compete in accordance with the demands of the times. One of the areas of creativity that gets that place is creativity in creating films. Films can be used as a place to express feelings, as well as being used as a product promotion or area where the film's work is produced. This fact is strengthened by the increasing penetration of social media such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. To produce good film work, a reliable screenwriter is also needed. For this reason, training in writing film scenarios is required. This first stage scenario writing training was conducted at SMK Muhammadiyah 2 Pekanbaru.
