Near Future

Social media has infiltrated the 21st-century generations of Internet users, making it a very prominent means of communications dissemination, particularly among students at a higher level of education. As technology will continue to evolve the role humans play in the near future, everyone will be required to adapt their skills throughout their daily and working lives. Therefore, individuals especially younger generations will need to act and engage in lifelong learning, so they are adaptable when the changes happen. Nowadays, the learning process is not only confined to the walls of the classrooms, instead, students are also able to access knowledge at any time and place that they are comfortable with to clear their doubts. Social media has also brought forth the concept of ubiquitous learning, which means that students can explore and request a related topic of interest from experts from all around the world. While this social engagement brings many benefits to the students particularly towards improving their self-esteem and enhance their learning philosophy. However, the question of can their social media engagement behaviours affect their social sustainability is still in debate. Hence, this research will explore the role of social media as a persuasive ubiquitous learning platform to enhance individual social sustainability. The research focuses on a particular field such as in education and society and will also relate the gratification factors on how social media like LinkedIn and Twitter will broadly affect students and societies.

The Relationship

The role of social media in aiding terrorist attacks worldwide has been widely discussed among counterterrorism officials and academics. Since 2014, the idea of ‘crowdsourced terrorism’, whereby the Islamic State (IS) outsourced the conduct of attacks to their followers and attempted to attract them to Syria, has been popularly used by Western policymakers. This article critically examines the phenomenon of crowdsourcing and the IS’s online appeal in the case of Indonesia. The participant–curator crowdsourcing model outlined by Laurie Philips and Daren Brabham explains the online appeal of the IS, with social media facilitating the IS’s establishment of the relationship with Internet users in faraway countries such as Indonesia and allowing them to participate in the making of the IS brand. Participatory culture therefore encourages an e-supporter’s faith in the importance of their individual contribution and social connection that transcend offline realities in areas such as citizenship. IS opinion leaders work alongside online supporters to craft the meaning of martyrdom and imagination of citizenship through social media posts about life in the Caliphate. The land of Syria is imagined simultaneously as paradise for those who take their faith seriously as well as the venue for the Islamic equivalent of Armageddon. Hijrah (jihad by emigration) to Syria and martyrdom are represented as obligatory in the quest for equalization of power and freedom from slavery of those who are against the establishment of the Caliphate. Crowdsourced imaginations of the IS have had implications in several areas of policymaking. The article will discuss the implications of online imaginaries on IS’s approaches to militancy in its operations, Indonesian decision makers’ debate to revoke the citizenship of those who had travelled to IS and for the Indonesian military in its quest for expansion of their role in counterterror operations.

Weibo provides an alternative channel for many Chinese citizens to obtain non-censored news contents and share their opinions on public affairs. In this book chapter, the authors employed Jürgen Habermas's concept of public sphere to examine how Chinese Weibo users (i.e., microbloggers) make the most use of this social medium to form a public sphere to contest omnipresent state power. Habermas's analytical framework helps to better comprehend the role of social media and its interactions with other stakeholders in Chinese politics. The role of social media in shaping this less controlled sphere of political deliberation and participation was examined using a case study approach. The authors analyzed the Chinese Jasmine Revolution to discuss the interrelations among social media, civil society, state power, economic development, political process, and democratization in China. The case study identified Weibo's essential role as a device to bypass existing government censorship, to mobilize users, and to empower Chinese Internet users to engage in political activities to foster its nascent civil society.
