The dominance of digital and social media in our lives presents opportunities both to enhance positive social influence and to interfere with it. Traditional military chain of command is rigid and evolved in the era before radio communication was possible. The ability to issue orders and plans in near real-time enables the speed of decision-making to be greatly increased, increasing the lethality of contemporary military operations. On the negative side, misuse of social media by individual solders can have devastating negative impacts at the strategic level. In this context topics of soft power and external manipulation of social media to disrupt morale are discussed. Psychologists may help the military better understand the positive use of information technology to achieve mission success and also develop training and other methods to mitigate against the social use of these technologies.

This study aims to examine and measure the influence of the effect of critical thinking on the use of social media, tolerance, and self-assessment of adolescents at school. Critical thinking has become a necessity for everyone in the era of the digitalization of technology. In dealing with the problems of adolescent life, critical thinking is one of the bases for taking action. Everyday teenagers are faced with very complex problems, such as addiction to the use of social media, lack of tolerance, and inaccurate self-assessment. Lack of literature that discusses the importance of critical thinking in dealing with these problems, researchers are interested in examining the effect of critical thinking on the use of social media, tolerance, and self-assessment of adolescents. This research was a quantitative method, by taking 206 adolescents aged 17-18 years as the research sample. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 25 software was used to conduct a one-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) to determine the difference in effect on the dependent variable showing that there is an effect of critical thinking on the use of social media, tolerance, and self-assessment of adolescents. A percentage of the influence of critical thinking on self-assessment is higher than the use of social media or tolerance. Critical thinking and self-assessment have a very close relationship, so they have a higher influence. It turns out that critical thinking has a major influence on adolescent self-assessment, which is followed by the use of social media and a tolerant attitude. This research is expected to reinforce the importance of critical thinking in adolescents at schools.
