The life of youths cannot be separated from the constant use of social media. While this online platform helps young people to connect globally and instantly, it can also manifest as a medium of intolerant and radical expressions. This study is a quantitative research that aims to map aspects and assess the degree of socio-religious intolerance of the Indonesian Centennials in their everyday lives and on social media by using a survey as the data collection method. This study found out that Indonesian Centennials are relatively tolerant toward other social groups in terms of race, ethnicities, and religious beliefs, except toward the people of LGBT. The racial prejudice among young Indonesians against the Chinese minority still exists, but it is not as prevalent as in Suharto's era. The results also show that there is a strong correlation between the Centennials' attitudes in their real world and cyberspace, as their social preference and attitudes on social media are identical to those in the real life.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of an empirical study of the potential of social media for civic competence development. Modern approaches to understanding civic competence and the use of social media are analyzed. The main vectors of social media influence on the development of civic competence are determined: informational, valuemotivational, emotional-consolidating, mobilizing. Using the method of evaluative repertoire grids, the structural components of civic competence of student youth, which are developed by means of social media, are determined. A method for identifying the leading motives for the use of social media for civic competence development is proposed. Two groups of motives are defined: target and instrumental. It is established that among the target motives for the use of social media the leading role for student youth is played by: 1) self-expression and self-exposure - declaring one’s own civiс position (Facebook, Twitter, Youtube); 2) self-identification with representatives of social groups who have common views on certain issues (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram); 3) joint entertainment (Instagram, Youtube, TikTok); 4) establishing contacts (Instagram, Viber, Telegram); 5) expanding ideas about the rights and responsibilities of citizens (Facebook, Youtube); 6) the opportunity to discuss socially significant and political and legal issues (Facebook, Twitter). The leading instrumental motive is the use of social media as a means of: 1) finding educational programs, information resources for self-education (Youtube, Facebook, Instagram); 2) satisfaction of aesthetic needs (Instagram, Youtube, TikTok); 3) keeping in touch with those who it is not possible to see in real life (Viber, Telegram, Instagram); 4) development of an individual’s social capital (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube); 5) generation of ideas and relevant content (posts / texts, audio and video content, comics, memes) on socially significant and political and legal issues (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube); 6) job search tool (Facebook, Instagram).

Perkembangan lagu anak di Indonesia mengalami dinamika yang berbeda dari tahun ke tahun. Era 90-an merupakan puncak dimana lagu anak mendapat perhatian yang lebih dari masyarakat Indonesia. Namun kondisi tersebut berbeda dengan keadaan lagu anak sekarang. Sudah tidak banyak lagi penyanyi-penyanyi cilik yang tampil di televisi dan berkurangnya lagu-lagu yang sesuai untuk anak yang kaya akan pesan pendidikan dan nasionalis. Hal ini dikarenakan sudah tidak banyak label rekaman yang memberikan wadah bagi penyanyi cilik dan adanya anggapan bahwa lagu anak kurang laku. Objek penelitian ini adalah album penyanyi cilik Naura dengan topik strategi promosi dan sosialisasi lagu anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji strategi bauran promosi album penyanyi cilik Naura dan mengetahui tanggapan masyarakat terhadap album penyanyi cilik Naura.

The development of children's songs in Indonesia experienced different dynamics from year to year. The 90's is the peak where the children's song gets more attention from the people of Indonesia. But the condition is different from the state of the child's song now. There are not many singers-singers who appear on television and reduced the appropriate songs for children who are rich in educational and nationalist messages.

The presence of technology changes the way humans communicate in cyberspace compared to the real world. “Hootsuite We are social” research in January 2019 showed that there are approximately 150 million social media users in Indonesia or 56% of the total population. There has been an increase of 20 million social media users in Indonesia compared to last year. The extensive use of social media, including Twitter, is changing the news production platform. News is not only produced by mass media, but potentially by everyone who can produce reports, shape public opinion, and create a virtual society. This condition has a destructive power because it can quickly spread and provoke powerful emotions and heated discourse. This paper discusses the characteristics of Indonesian language impoliteness on Twitter using qualitative research methods. The data were collected from Twitter statuses of Indonesian users in 2018. The analysis showed that impoliteness in speech and language occurs because of the ideology and power of each speaker. The impolite speech in this research related to the impoliteness nuanced with contempt to ethnicity, religion, race, and to a social group. The impoliteness nuanced with insult to ethnicity was 20% of our observed samples, while impoliteness nuanced with religious contempt was 25.1%; impoliteness related to race was 18.3%; and impoliteness toward social groups was 36.6%. The impoliteness is also often caused by the stimulation of the occurring social and political causes at that time. Keywords: Impoliteness, contempt of ethnicity, religion, race, social groups.

Increased access and the convenience of participation to and through the internet encourage connectivity among citizens. These new and enhanced connections are no longer dependent on real-life, face-to-face interactions, and are less restricted by the boundaries of time and space (Frissen, 2005). In this chapter, two cases from the Philippines are documented and assessed in order to look at online citizen engagement. The first case looks at how people participate in promoting tourism in the Philippines through social media. The second case involves their use of social media for disaster response. Previous studies on ICTs and participation in the Philippines have looked at the role of intermediaries (see Alampay, 2002). Since then, the role of social media, in particular that of Facebook and Twitter, has grown dramatically and at times completely circumvents traditional notions of intermediation. The role of Facebook, in particular, will be highlighted in this chapter, and the authors will analyze its effectiveness, vis-à-vis traditional government channels for communication and delivery of similar services. By looking at these two cases and assessing the abovementioned aspects, it is hoped that the use of social media can be seen as an integral part of e-governance especially in engaging citizens to participate in local and national governance.

In the changing media and health landscapes, health communication requires more ways to improve and sustain new practices for health advocacy. The same way global population is soaring, people are becoming more urbane, and these vicissitudes are accompanied by the need to access new forms of media to meet information needs. This chapter assesses social media relevance as an alternative tool for health communication and clearly established that social media holds an integral locus in the day-to-day activities of the people, the same way it has for health communication. The growing concern is for stakeholders who are government and non-government agencies actors like traditional rulers, faith-based organisations, and international bodies to adopt the use of social media as an alternative for health communication in Nigeria.

Technology is growing day by day and the influence of them on our day-to-day life is reaching new heights in the digitized world. Most of the people are prone to the use of social media and even minute details are getting posted every second. Some even go to the extent of posting even suicide related issues. This paper addresses the issue of suicide and is predicting the suicide issues on social media and their semantic analysis. With the help of Machine Learning techniques and semantic analysis of sentiments the prediction and classification of suicide is done. The model of approach is a four-tier approach, which is very beneficial as it uses the twitter4J data by using weka tool and implementing it on WordNet. The precision and accuracy aspects are verified as the parameters for the performance efficiency of the procedure. We also give a solution for the lack of resources regarding the terminological resources by providing a phase for the generation of records of vocabulary also.
