The Role Of Social Media In Promoting Tolerance

Abstract

In today's digital era, society has lived side by side with the internet, especially the younger generation who are closely connected to technology, particularly social media. With various platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and Twitter, which can reach a wide and fast audience, social media can become a primary tool for promoting and enhancing tolerance in society through educational and creative content. This research aims to discuss how social media contributes to tolerance in society and analyze the main challenges faced in promoting tolerance values on social media. The method used in this study is a literature review, which refers to various sources such as journal articles, reference books, research reports, and news. The results of this study indicate the main challenges in promoting tolerance values on social media, such as the widespread circulation of hoax news and the lack of media literacy among the public. With this research, it is hoped that it can provide a broader understanding for social media users.
