THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA FOR YOUNG GENERATION; THE POTENTIAL TO DAMAGE THE NATIONAL IDENTITY
Online media gives impacts on each individual's life because this stage can introduce an intuitive association between two individuals who are even far apart. Although it is loved and provided advantage by almost everyone, incidentally, web-based media has another side. Various detrimental consequences of online media are difficult to avoid. The development of information is changing society. Recently, electronic media has been demonstrated to transform people's personalities into virtual ones. The human character is described in all things considered, and people also shape themselves into something that becomes a trend. This study aims to determine the influence of social media usage on national identity and determine the positive and negative consequences of using social media that can affect national identity. This study uses the Literature Review (LR) strategy through a subjective methodology, which describes the problem to be contemplated and provides answers to defeat the problem in-depth and start to finish indicated by the side effects of the examination and the hypothesis used. The use of online media among the millennial or young generation is indeed less secure than adults. It cannot be denied that online media such as mobile phones, i-pads, or other gadgets are currently critical in everyday life. In Indonesia itself, these innovation advances have a positive impact but also have detrimental consequences. People in general also still need direct communication to reduce gaps or miscommunication between networks. However, some people like to be involved in workplaces with an open culture and flexible events, which can be reached easily by online media. The high application of online media in millennials causes simple changes in these young people's intellectual, emotional, and even behavior. Many millennial generations tend to use dialects that are not known as Indonesian or even imitating (westernized) clothing. Younger people generally feel happy when imitating foreigners, while foreigners embrace a free lifestyle compared to their society, which has begun to be compromised. Overall, we also see that many millennial generations need information about the importance of Pancasila as the image of the country, the state banner, and the state constitution.
