DAMPAK PENGGUNAAN MEDIA DIGITAL TERHADAP PERKEMBANGAN PERILAKU SOSIAL ANAK USIA 7 TAHUN

This research is motivated by findings regarding the symptoms associated with technological development in children, especially at 7 years of age, on children’s behavior that can threaten their social life, such as ignorance, difficulty socializing, rarely communicating and interacting with other people. The purpose of this study was to determine the description regarding 1) behavioral symptoms that appear in children using digital media, 2) mentoring parents in accompanying children when using digital media, and 3) behavior of children using digital media after mentoring. This research was conducted in an effort to reveal that the use of digital media currently has an influence on children’s social behavior towards those around them. This research is a qualitative research with a case study method. The research subject is one of the children who are really active users of their digital media. The data collection technique was done by means of observation, interviews, questionnaires, literature and documentation. The results showed that 1) the behavioral symptoms that appeared in the subject so far from the use of digital media were lack of courage, rebellion, less independence, indifference and passivity, 2) parental assistance in accompanying children when using digital media was high, 3) children’s behavior After mentoring digital media users, there are developments in children’s courageous behavior and initiative

Opinion Behavior Analysis in Social Networks Under the Influence of Coopetitive Media

Both interpersonal communication and media contact are important information sources and play a significant role in shaping public opinions of large populations. In this paper, we investigate how the opinion-forming process evolves over social networks under the media influence. In addition to being affected by the opinions of their connected peers, the media cooperate and/or compete mutually with each other. Networks with mixed cooperative and competitive interactions are said to be coopetitive . In this endeavor, a novel mathematical model of opinion dynamics is introduced, which captures the information diffusion process under consideration, makes use of the community-based network structure, and takes into account personalized biases among individuals in social networks. By employing port-Hamiltonian system theory to analyze the modeled opinion dynamics, we predict how public opinions evolve in the long run through social entities and find applications in political strategy science. A key technical observation is that as a result of the port-Hamiltonian formulation, the mathematical passivity property of individuals’ self-dynamics facilitates the convergence analysis of opinion evolution. We explain how to steer public opinions towards consensus, polarity, or neutrality, and investigate how an autocratic media coalition might emerge regardless of public views. We also assess the role of interpersonal communication and media exposure, which in itself is an essential topic in mathematical sociology

De retibus socialibus et legibus momenti

Online Social Networks (OSNs) are a cutting edge topic. Almost everybody --users, marketers, brands, companies, and researchers-- is approaching OSNs to better understand them and take advantage of their benefits. Maybe one of the key concepts underlying OSNs is that of influence which is highly related, although not entirely identical, to those of popularity and centrality. Influence is, according to Merriam-Webster, "the capacity of causing an effect in indirect or intangible ways". Hence, in the context of OSNs, it has been proposed to analyze the clicks received by promoted URLs in order to check for any positive correlation between the number of visits and different "influence" scores. Such an evaluation methodology is used in this paper to compare a number of those techniques with a new method firstly described here. That new method is a simple and rather elegant solution which tackles with influence in OSNs by applying a physical metaphor.Comment: Changes made for third revision: Brief description of the dataset employed added to Introduction.

What Trends in Chinese Social Media

There has been a tremendous rise in the growth of online social networks all over the world in recent times. While some networks like Twitter and Facebook have been well documented, the popular Chinese microblogging social network Sina Weibo has not been studied. In this work, we examine the key topics that trend on Sina Weibo and contrast them with our observations on Twitter. We find that there is a vast difference in the content shared in China, when compared to a global social network such as Twitter. In China, the trends are created almost entirely due to retweets of media content such as jokes, images and videos, whereas on Twitter, the trends tend to have more to do with current global events and news stories

PUBLIC CONSCIOUSNESS MANIPULATION AS A FORM OF CENSORSHIP

Since the invention of telegraph, radio and television making the contacts with a large audience possible, the social impact of communication via the mass media has been a subject of intense research by political and social scientists. Thus the authors consider the nature of manipulation in modern political discourse using the complex phenomenon of censorship and its ambivalent role in the modern society as the basis. The solution of the research tasks is carried out on the basis of the complex methodological foundation defining the general orientation and principles of the research, as well as its scientific results. This foundation includes the general philosophical methodological concept of dialectic materialism, the principles of unity of form and content, cause and effect, as well as the general connection of the phenomena. In conclusion, the authors state that the abovementioned phenomena are serious and dangerous, being able to influence people’s consciousness, depriving them of their critical thinking, and even dooming them to the passivity of life

Pornography Debate, Gaze and Spectatorship in Sarah Daniels’s Masterpieces

Masterpieces by Sarah Daniels has been described as a voice in the debate on pornography, expressing the anti-pornography position as opposed to the liberal feminist stance in this debate. Despite its ideological clarity reported by many reviewers and critics, the play has been commented upon as deficient or inadequate because of evoking conflicting interpretations and ambiguity. The paper argues that these deficiencies stem from the play’s concern with the distribution of agency and passivity along gender lines as well as the influence of generic and essentialist notions of genders on the perception of social and individual power relations particularly in the domain of eroticism and sexuality. One of the key issues of the play is the question to what extent and in what ways human perception is conditioned by the place of the subject in relation to the agency/passivity dichotomy and his or her viewing/reading position in relation to erotic and pornographic material
