“…The use of such language indicates the emerging trend of ideological neo-imperialism and pro-disintegration which could have broad impact on social stability, political, and security of the nation and the state. This is the main identifier of the new model of discourse, which is typical of Indonesian political discourse, which is different from the discourse of political discourse in foreign countries, as proposed by Gergen [13] and Choi et al [21].…”

This study aimed to describe the style of the language of opposition politician groups in Indonesia, which could lead to relations of power non-visible (hidden power) with the ideological process that appears in oral or written discourse. This study uses a Fairclough Critical Discourse Analysis model. The corpus of data obtained randomly from a national online social media are presented in the internet. Data taken during 3 months. The survey results revealed, there are 4 groups and 36 kinds of style language used by the opposition politicians in speaking in online social media, namely irony (21 types), comparison (7 types), opposition (four types), and assertion (4 types). Four results also known of the opposition politician stylistic phenomenon in Indonesia, namely, 1) the tendency to use meaningful diction sarcastic, harassing, bullying, cornering, to the contrary, and a priori; 2) The realistic truth defeated by practical truth, 3) loss of empathy, respect, and civility; 4) language is used as a political tool, and not as a means of interaction as defined in the theory of politeness.

“…While attitudinally homogeneous networks may be the norm, many individuals' networks remain attitudinally heterogeneous (e.g., Bienenstock, Bonacich, & Oliver, 1990;Choi, Lee, & Metzgar, 2017;Goel, Mason, & Watts, 2010;Guidetti, Cavazza, & Graziani, 2016;Kim & Kim, 2017;Mutz, 2002;Simmel, 1955;Visser & Mirabile, 2004). Previous work exploring the consequences of such social networks is generally consistent with the claim that disagreeing with one's social network members threatens attempts to form a shared reality.…”

Shared reality theory argues that people are motivated to perceive the world in similar ways to people around them to fulfill epistemic and relational motives. However, most research on shared reality has focused on dyads. Taking a broader perspective, disagreement with members of one's social networks may threaten shared reality, with downstream consequences for confidence in core cognitive structures, including the selfconcept. In four studies, we manipulated (Study 1) and measured (Studies 2-4) perceived disagreement within an individual's social network. Results revealed that, especially when epistemic and social motives were high, disagreeing with or perceiving disagreement in one's social network was associated with lower self-concept clarity, which mediated negative consequences for well-being. Comparing network disagreement to network diversity, we found that disagreement better explained effects on self-concept clarity. These results suggest that one's broader social network can impact attempts to share reality, with consequences for the self and well-being.

“…While these numbers are rapidly growing, today, more than half of the world population use the Internet (Internet World Statistics 2017) and there are claimed to be some 2.79 billion active social media users in the world (Stevens 2016). Concrete impacts of virtualization of the life-worlds are becoming manifest in, for instance, how people spend time (Nielsen 2016), moralize (Hopp, Parrot and Wang 2017), work (Villadsen 2016), participate politically (Choi, Lee and Metzgar 2017), and how children are being raised and educated (Kildare and Middlemiss 2017).…”

Virtualization of the life-world

The diffusion of technological artifacts, in particular, devices of communication and the Internet have transformed the life-world of essentially everyone living in a modern society. In the past few years our everyday, including livelihoods, has seen a proliferation of activities within virtual worlds, such as games and virtual social networks. We can now live and experience actively in different virtual realms, as compared to being mere passive receivers in the era of television and radio. This has direct implications in what is inherently relevant for people and, in consequence, we have to take such transformation in account also in conceptual terms. The main implication to the conceptual palette of phenomenological sociology is that due to virtualization, we can no more equate the paramount reality as the zone of primary relevance. The paramount reality as conceived as the sensorily perceivable, physical world of concrete objects is increasingly far from being equated to the zone of primary relevance; that part of the world within our reach which we can immediately observe and also at least partially dominate. It is furthermore argued that the ongoing virtualization of societies urges us to conceive virtual worlds as transforming the subuniverse of the world of working instead of seeing virtual worlds merely as other finite provinces of meaning. Based on Alfred Schütz's work, this essay conceptually scrutinizes virtual worlds with an aim to clarify what is at stake with the virtualization of the modern society.
