“…The ability to reframe mass media representation of a movement, event, or group is an important characteristic of social media that #Ferguson aptly demonstrates. Social media provides "spaces where individuals resist and challenge dominant political or cultural discourse and foment the idea of a 'right time' for change" (Rodriguez 2013(Rodriguez , 1059. Additionally, social media provides a first-person perspective of unfolding events that aids in the ability of movements to reframe mass media representation.…”

“…In the article "Making Sense of Social Change: Observing Collective Action in Networked Cultures," Sandra Rodriguez examines how to make sense of collective actions within networked cultures. Rodriguez (2013Rodriguez ( , 1060 states, "In social movement scholarship, new social movement theories (NSM) have long underlined the impact of cultural transformation on the emergence of new forms of collective actions, crossing boundaries between politics, values, civic engagements, and identity processes." Social media has the power to create collective action movements due to its unique ability to rapidly connect and mobilize large numbers of people in ways that traditional media is unable.…”

The struggle for environmental and social justice within American Indian communities is one that has been ongoing since the beginning of United States history, but the main catalyst to effect change and to promote and disperse the American Indian narrative has emerged through the power of social media in today's hyperconnected society. This article examines the power of social media to effect change, as well as a hyperconnected society's ability to empower historically disadvantaged groups that have often been misrepresented within traditional media outlets. The historic movement occurring at Standing Rock, North Dakota, and the #NoDAPL protests illustrates the capacity of social media to galvanize individuals to become changemakers as well as create a vast support network within a population that might otherwise remain uninformed or unaware of media misrepresentations. The role of libraries as support systems within communities and the responsibility of libraries to provide unbiased and freely available information within a hyperconnected society are also discussed.

“…Many social movements in Indonesia have initially been driven by the power of hashtags such as "#KoinUntukPrita", "#SaveKPK", "#KamiTidakTakut" (Bohang, 2016). Studies confirm that social media are a room for value and belief creation (Bechmann & Lomborg, 2012;Oh, Eom, & Rao, 2015;Rodriguez, 2013), and these values and beliefs may even be incorporated in the social and cultural contexts of real-life (i.e. offline) (Lim, 2018).…”

Social media become a public sphere for political discussion in the world, with no exception in Indonesia. Social media have broadened public engagement but at the same time, it creates an inevitable effect of polarization particularly during the heightened political situation such as a presidential election. Studies found that there is a correlation between fake news and political polarization. In this paper, we identify and the pattern of fake narratives in Indonesia in three different time frames: (1) the Presidential campaign (23 September 2018 -13 April 2019); (2) the vote (14-17 April 2019); (3) the announcement (21-22 May 2019). We extracted and analyzed a data-set consisting of 806,742 Twitter messages, 143 Facebook posts, and 16,082 Instagram posts. We classified 43 fake narratives where Twitter was the most used platform to distribute fake narratives massively. The accusation of Muslim radical group behind Prabowo and Communist accusation towards the incumbent President Joko Widodo were the two top fake narratives during the campaign on Twitter and Facebook. The distribution of fake narratives to Prabowo was larger than that to Joko Widodo on those three platforms in this period. On the contrary, the distribution of fake narratives to Joko Widodo was significantly larger than that to Prabowo during the election and the announcement periods. The death threat of Joko Widodo was top fake narratives on these three platforms. Keywords: Fake narratives, Indonesian presidential election, social media, political polarization, post.

“…For example, there is support for people that have yet to possess a cell phone; if they want to buy one, but do not understand how it functions, there are plenty of people that can help them adapt to this new technology. Even if technological change is conceptualized here as an incremental change, it is possible that technology is used to provoke a DSC, for example by instigating an important social revolution (Rodriguez, 2013). …”

Millions of people worldwide are affected by dramatic social change (DSC). While sociological theory aims to understand its precipitants, the psychological consequences remain poorly understood. A large-scale literature review pointed to the desperate need for a typology of social change that might guide theory and research toward a better understanding of the psychology of social change. Over 5,000 abstracts from peer-reviewed articles were assessed from sociological and psychological publications. Based on stringent inclusion criteria, a final 325 articles were used to construct a novel, multi-level typology designed to conceptualize and categorize social change in terms of its psychological threat to psychological well-being. The typology of social change includes four social contexts: Stability, Inertia, Incremental Social Change and, finally, DSC. Four characteristics of DSC were further identified: the pace of social change, rupture to the social structure, rupture to the normative structure, and the level of threat to one's cultural identity. A theoretical model that links the characteristics of social change together and with the social contexts is also suggested. The typology of social change as well as our theoretical proposition may serve as a foundation for future investigations and increase our understanding of the psychologically adaptive mechanisms used in the wake of DSC.
