Malaysian marginalized youth participation in nation building through various media platforms is low. Therefore, an action plan was developed to enhance the social, political and economic participation of youth in marginalized communities through media utilization. The action plan consists of target items and approaches to conduct activities. Eight media-participation-related modules were also tested in an intervention study. The modules were targeted at increasing the level of youth media, social and political participation. Various agencies such as the Malaysian Youth Council, were involved to help realize the plan aims. Results from the stakeholders’ reviews indicated that more efforts have to be carried out to expose these youth to good practices in the use of social media for participation purposes. The findings also concluded that this action plan is well-formed, can serve as a guide, allows integration of cultural harmony and offers empowerment to the youth.
Artikel ini mengupas isu belia terpinggir dan proses sosialisasi yang menghasilkan tingkahlaku dan perspektif relatif belia semasa berhadapan dengan media baru. Revolusi 4.0 yang dibahas oleh Klaus Schwab menganalisis bagaimana kemajuan teknologi dan masyarakat boleh saling hidup bersama-sama kerana kepantasan kemajuan teknologi ini mendesak masyarakat berubah dari segi saiz, kelajuan dan skop. Persoalannya adakah belia dan proses sosialisasi yang berbeza dan pelbagai berupaya menyediakan golongan belia dengan cabaran revolusi teknologi dan penggunaan media baru? Potensi kebaikan dan keburukan dilihat seimbang dan proses konstruksi sosial diperlukan sebagai persediaan menjadikan belia lebih celik teknologi serta berintegriti dalam melakukan urusan harian dan kepenggunaan media baru. Teori 'relational', teori tingkah laku relatif dan konsep sosialisasi digunakan dalam menilai tingkahlaku belia terpinggir di beberapa kawasan luar bandar dan bandar. Teknik temubual kumpulan fokus bersama lima kumpulan belia terpinggir telah dijalankan dengan penyertaan sukarela responden dan pemilihan sampel bertujuan dilakukan dalam memilih belia lingkungan usia 15 hingga 24 tahun. Hasil kajian menunjukkan corak tingkahlaku belia terpinggir yang skeptikal terhadap penggunaan media baru. Penjelasan kepada sikap relatif ini adalah disebabkan proses sosialisasi, kelas, spatial, pendedahan dan tahap pendidikan yang menjadikan tingkah laku dan perspektif belia terpinggir berbeza dengan konsep Barat mengenai belia.
