Bahasa Indonesia sebagai Bahasa Persatuan dalam Bermedia Sosial

Abstract

Social media is a big challenge for the Indonesian people to be able to defend themselves in the midst of associations between ethnic groups. The Indonesian nation must be able to respond to these challenges. One thing that needs to be considered is the issue of the unity and integrity of the Indonesian nation. Social media with all its influences has a broad impact on all aspects of life, especially language. With the increasingly intense use of language, especially Indonesian, which is used by almost all circles of society. This allows the erosion of the use of the standard Indonesian language. The Indonesian language has proven itself since the Youth Pledge was made as a tool that can unite the Indonesian people, which consist of very diverse social and cultural backgrounds. The function of the Indonesian language as a unifying tool for the nation must always be preserved.
