Abstract

This article aims to analyze and explore the central role of new media in shaping and pioneering the dynamics of multiculturality in Indonesia. Data shows that the bullying and discrimination that exists in Indonesia indicates that the homo virtualis of the Indonesian nation are experiencing an identity crisis. The urgency of this research is how new media can catalyze a national identity crisis and pose a threat to cultural diversity, especially in Indonesia. This article uses qualitative research with a case study approach. The primary data source for this article is 9,996 tweets from Twitter netizens regarding the identity crisis. Secondary data in this research are articles, books and scientific reports relating to the theme. The data was then analyzed using content analysis techniques. The research results show that the dynamics of national identity in Indonesia have entered a crisis phase. The identity crisis in Indonesia is still dry of educational touches, so it never touches on substantial context. Then, the author found that the identity crisis that occurred in Indonesia occurred due to several factors, namely: 1) Globalization and modernization, 2) Regional disparities, 3) Ethnic and religious conflicts, 4) Lack of multicultural education, and 5) Influence of information and media. However, the author believes there are opportunities to alleviate this crisis through several constructive indicators: the Development of Intercultural Communication Literacy, the Use of Media as an Educational Means, Cross-Cultural Collaboration in Social Media, and anti-Apartheid Curriculum. The novelty of this research lies in a deeper understanding of the role of new media as agents of influence, sources of potential conflict, and opportunities to strengthen cultural diversity.

Abstract

This article aims to examine how the "I Love Me" movement utilizes social media to challenge conventional beauty standards and promote values of diversity and self-acceptance. The urgency of this research arises from significant issues faced by modern society, where social media often promotes beauty standards that are not only unrealistic but also exclusive and detrimental. These standards can potentially cause body image disorders and social anxiety, especially among teenagers and adults, making this research not only academically relevant but also crucial for public health and social policy. This research employs a qualitative approach with netnographic methods within a constructivist paradigm to understand the dynamics of communication and self-representation on social media related to the "I Love Me" movement. The study was conducted by collecting primary data through the social media analysis application Keyhole, which provides frequency, reach, and types of interactions related to the campaign or hashtag used by the movement. Secondary data were also gathered from various sources including books, scholarly articles, and media reports discussing beauty standards, the influence of social media, and related social movements. Data collection techniques include systematic media observation and documentation, and data analysis was performed using the methods of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana, which involve data conditioning, categorization, and systematic conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the "I Love Me" movement has successfully created a dialogue that supports physical diversity and promotes mental health by challenging the dominant commercial and harmful beauty narratives. The movement demonstrates its effectiveness in leveraging social media to change beauty perceptions, reduce stress and pressure related to body image, and support self-acceptance and beauty in all forms.
