“…32 (S1): 139 -160 (2024) sama, kesan negatif yang wujud akibat kempen politik di media sosial juga dapat dilihat dengan jelas seperti berleluasanya ucapan kebencian dan ucapan ekstrim, ungkapan kesat, kata makian, provokasi, sindir badan, berita palsu dan sebagainya. Situasi ini bersifat global sebagaimana berlaku di India (Rao, 2019;Udupa 2017), Amerika Syarikat (Allcott & Gentzkow, 2017;Olaniran & Williams, 2020), Filipina (Arugay, 2022), Hungary (Bene, 2018) Malaysia dan negara-negara lain. Perihal ungkapan kesat dan ketidaksantunan ini penting untuk dikaji kerana dapat membawa kepada perpecahan dan perbalahan sesama anggota masyarakat dan merendahkan nilai bahasa serta kesantunan masyarakat tersebut.…”

Penggunaan kata-kata kesat dalam komunikasi oleh pengguna media sosial semasa musim pilihan raya telah menjadi satu kebiasaan dalam masyarakat global pada hari ini. Fenomena ini berlaku atas dasar kebebasan bersuara dalam masyarakat. Namun begitu, sebahagian besar pengguna media sosial memilih untuk menggunakan bahasa tersirat atau implikatur untuk menyampaikan mesej tersebut berbanding bahasa literal. Justeru, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengenal pasti aspek ketikdaksantunan dalam penggunaan implikatur di media sosial semasa musim pilihan raya di Malaysia dan menganalisis aspek ketidaksantunan tersebut. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan dan data diperoleh melalui teknik persampelan bertujuan dan tangkap layar (screenshot) terhadap ciapan dan perkongsian di media sosial Twitter dan Facebook. Penganalisisan data dilakukan dengan mengaplikasikan kerangka konsep ad hoc dalam bidang pragmatik serta penghuraian aspek ketidaksantunan dilakukan menggunakan strategi ketidaksantunan dalam bidang sosiolinguistik. Pemerhatian terhadap kesemua data yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahawa kata-kata yang tidak santun digunakan dengan bebas dalam kalangan pengguna Twitter dan Facebook melalui implikatur semasa musim pilihan raya. Dapatan awal menunjukkan penggunaan implikatur berupaya menyampaikan mesej dengan lebih mendalam terhadap audiens. Peralihan daripada komuniti bahasa secara fizikal kepada komuniti bahasa di ruangan maya juga menjadi faktor fenomena ini berlaku. Fenomena ini menyebabkan suasana politik khususnya dan perhubungan dalam masyarakat amnya akan terjejas. Kajian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan sumbangan kepada pembangunan masyarakat agar budaya dan keunggulan bahasa Melayu dapat dipelihara seterusnya mengekalkan keharmonian dalam masyarakat.

“…Indeed, they emphasize different goals: Science's goals are cognitive in nature (i.e., gaining knowledge), while technology has practical goals (i.e., taking actions). 5 Social media alienation of the individual (Reveley, 2013), digital surveillance (Galič, Timan and Koops, 2017;Selinger and Rhee, 2021), the undermining of democracy (Olaniran and Williams, 2020), and censorship (Cobbe, 2021) are just some of the current problems that technology is accused of causing. Technology was supposed to be the embodiment of scientific rationality and provide tangible proof of the effectiveness and usefulness of science, but in reality, it has turned out to be far more complex and problematic than earlier philosophers thought it would.…”

Philosophy in technology is a research program that studies the philosophical roots of engineering and technology. Technologists, by virtue of their education, believe that the limits, goals, possibilities, and effects of technology on society and humankind are exclusively technological problems, hence their solutions must lie exclusively in technology. In contrast, philosophy in technology asserts that the resolutions to these problems need to be rooted in an understanding of their philosophical origins. This program paper defines the objectives of philosophy in technology, the kinds of questions it explores, the methods it uses, and how it differs from the philosophy of technology.

“…Forms of social media have revolutionized today’s political landscape [ 54 ], and widely facilitated the rise of populism [ 55 ]. An experiment with 61 million Facebook users found that political mobilization messages delivered during the 2010 presidential election directly shaped actual, voting behavior, as well as increased political self-expression and information-seeking [ 2 ].…”

Debating stereotypes: Online reactions to the vice-presidential debate of 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The 2020 Vice-Presidential debate afforded the opportunity to examine online reactions toward a woman of color, Kamala Harris, and a white man, Mike Pence, as they vied for the same position. We collected tweets from the Twitter API related to Harris and Pence, mainly using neutral hashtags. We examined keywords for gender and race slurs and conducted a multivariate analysis of tweet sentiment. Gender and racial slurs surface in both Harris and Pence datasets, showcasing the insidious nature of sexist and racist stereotypes that seep into online conversations regarding a high-status job debate. As anticipated, tweets regarding Harris contained a higher proportion of racist and sexist curse words, highlighting greater levels of harassment and “intersectional,” multi-ethnic/gender attacks. Racial insults targeting Blacks or Asians were more negative than those associated with Whites. Unexpectedly, tweets related to Harris were more positive in average sentiment than those regarding Pence. Yet, there were significantly more retweets, and more negativity of retweets, relating to Harris than to Pence, underscoring the relatively widespread broadcasting of derogatory messages about Harris. Overall, we found that harassing messages toward the candidates reinforced traditional race and gender stereotypes and bolstered the status of those who posted negative content by attaining more retweets. Harassers routinely invoked well-worn, stereotypical insults in their attacks, especially when targeting a multiracial woman.
