Abstract

The use of social media among early childhood populations has increased significantly, including in rural communities, in line with technological advancements and growing internet accessibility. This study analyzes the impact of social media on early childhood development using a qualitative-descriptive approach through observation and interviews, and is interpreted through Albert Bandura’s social learning theory. The primary focus of this research is to explore how social media influences the cognitive aspects and socialization processes of children in rural settings, particularly in Lekor Village, Janapria District, Central Lombok Regency. The findings reveal a dualistic influence of social media. On the one hand, social media functions as an informal learning tool that enhances children's early cognitive abilities, encourages them to stay indoors, and provides both entertainment and educational content that supports the development of verbal memory. In settings where peer interaction is limited, social media often serves as a substitute for social companionship. On the other hand, social media has emerged as a new agent of socialization that carries significant risks. Young children tend to imitate behaviors portrayed in digital content that may not align with local cultural values. Negative effects identified include poor communication skills, impulsive behavior, disrupted sleep and eating patterns, anxiety, materialistic tendencies, and exposure to inappropriate content. This study underscores the urgent need for community-based digital literacy initiatives and active supervision by parents and local authorities to ensure that social media functions as an educational resource rather than a source of developmental dysfunction in early childhood.

Abstract

This research discusses the dynamic relationship between political configuration, the character of legal products, and the role of the digital society in Indonesian legal politics post the Fourth Amendment of the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Two classical views on the relationship between law and politics, between law as a social controller and law as a product of societal dynamics, serve as a foundation for understanding contemporary realities. Mahfud MD's findings on the relationship between political configuration and the character of legal products indicate that political changes have direct consequences on the orientation of the regulations that emerge. However, this study highlights that the current political configuration is no longer solely determined by elites and formal structures, but also by a new force: the digital society. The emergence of actors such as influencers, online activists, and political buzzers marks a shift in the way the public participates and influences the course of legislation. On the other hand, the open digital space also presents threats in the form of polarization, disinformation, and digital oligarchy. Through a qualitative approach and literature study, this research finds that Indonesia's legal politics today are becoming increasingly complex, full of challenges, but also hold new hope for broader and more meaningful public participation. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of adaptive legal reforms, paying attention to digital dynamics, and strengthening media ethics as part of the Indonesian legal political ecosystem that upholds decency.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of government external debt on Indonesia’s economic growth. The research is grounded in the phenomenon of increasing dependence among developing countries, including Indonesia, on external financing sources as a means to support national development funding. However, the relationship between external debt and economic growth remains a subject of academic debate, as empirical findings on this issue tend to be contradictory. The study employs a quantitative approach using time series data. The data utilized are secondary in nature, obtained from official reports on Indonesia’s external debt. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24, applying classical assumption tests and multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that the external debt variable has a significant effect on Indonesia’s economic growth. This is evidenced by a regression coefficient of 13.280 and a significance level of 0.000, which is below the standard significance threshold of α = 0.05. Accordingly, the null hypothesis (H₀) is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis (H₁) is accepted. This suggests that government external debt makes a substantial contribution to the dynamics of national economic growth. The study affirms that in the Indonesian context, external debt can function as a supportive instrument for economic development, provided it is managed prudently and allocated toward productive sectors that have a direct impact on long-term economic growth.

Abstract

This study explores the phenomenon of the war takjil on TikTok during Ramadan 2024 as a manifestation of interreligious social cohesion in Indonesia. Emerging amidst heightened political tensions and religious identity polarization in the lead-up to the general election, this phenomenon stands in contrast to the dominant narratives of conflict often found on social media. The war takjil trend instead showcases harmonious interactions between Muslim and non-Muslim communities in the shared social activity of seeking takjil (pre-fast breaking meals). Employing a qualitative approach through netnographic methods, the study draws on Émile Durkheim’s theory of social cohesion to analyze the organic solidarity cultivated within digital spaces. The findings reveal that the war takjil reflects a shift from a condition of anomie toward social harmony, and highlights the role of social media, particularly TikTok, as a new arena for fostering solidarity and cross-identity communication. Thus, this phenomenon offers a concrete example of how religious and cultural practices can intertwine to form inclusive and constructive social cohesion in the digital age.
