“…Social media-enabled-online relationships can displace and damage offline interaction and relationships. 29 In a normal family and under normal circumstances, family members who live in the same household are expected to engage in a conversation and share experiences of their lives but WhatsApp makes them engage in conversation with those who are elsewhere and forget about those who are closer to them. This kind of behaviour is a creation of a new family order in the 21st century where members of the same family unit living under the same roof find comfort in interacting with their gadgets than other human beings present.…”

“…Social media, particularly WhatsApp which is easily accessible, has become an agent for lack of Ubuntu in marriages and this has led to lack of trust, jealousy, quarrels and at worst divorces. Butler and Matook 29 observe that the individuals in households are present physically but ignoring one another because they are focused on their mobile devices. Neglect of a spouse because of concentration on the cellular phone shows that social media can destroy social relations in a home when users of this platform display antisocial behaviour to their loved ones.…”

Background: Although social media was designed with the aim of bringing good, it has however taken negative trajectory in societies of the world which has resulted in unpleasant outcomes such as conflicts, lack of Ubuntu, family disintegration and even death of some people. All sectors of the society that include media, government departments, the law courts, the police, educational institutions, the home and arts industry have all pointed to the negatives of social media. Musicians as social commentators and members of the society sensitive to social issues have also observed and raised their concerns about the effects of social media through songs.Aim: The article analyses the effect of negativity of social media on the lives of the people of Zimbabwe as revealed in selected songs.Setting: Selected songs and most particularly Zimdancehall songs that are about the problems that are brought by social media in society will be analysed.Methods: In the analysis, the article, therefore, adopts textual analysis as the method. WhatsApp is the major form of social media that will be focused on although others such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter would also form part of the discussion.Results: Zimdancehall artists appear to have nothing to celebrate about social media as they are blame everything about it.Conclusion: The article shall conclude that although social media was meant to bring people together, it has, however, set them apart and has created many problems in society and thereby becoming an antisocial platform.

“…Relasi sosial yang terjalin melalui internet kebanyakan adalah kelanjutan dari relasi di dunia nyata (Butler & Matook, 2015) Dikotomi antara diri nyata manusia dan diri digitalnya juga sudah tidak dapat dipisahkan (Cover, 2016). Meskipun profil diri digital (misalnya pada media sosial) memungkinkan seorang berbagai informasi yang sangat kompleks (Lupton, 2014), namun tetap saja semua itu hanyalah sebagian dari diri seseorang.…”

Penelitian ini ditujukan untuk mengetahui bagaimana pandangan Erich Fromm mengenai cinta, serta untuk melihat posisi cinta dalam bangunan utuh Etika Humanistik Erich Fromm khususnya dalam kehidupan sosial masyarakat modern masa kini. Metode penelitian yang digunakan untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut adalah studi pustaka. Erich Fromm memiliki pandangan yang unik mengenai cinta. Cinta menurut Erich Fromm adalah seni. Seni mencinta terwujud dalam tindakan aktif dan disadari secara penuh oleh manusia sebagai subyek. Pandangan Erich Fromm ini adalah kritiknya pada masyarakat yang salah memaknai cinta. Kesalahpahaman ini menyebabkan cinta gagal menjadi jalan keluar dari keterasingan manusia. Masyarakat pada masa Erich Fromm justru mempraktikkan cinta secara pasif yaitu memposisikan diri sendiri dan orang lain sebagai obyek cinta. Hal yang kurang lebih sama masih dialami oleh masyarakat modern masa kini. Dalam etikanya, Erich Fromm berpandangan bahwa manusia haruslah melalui proses individuasi dengan harmonis sehingga dapat mencapai karakter produktif. Karakter manusia yang produktif inilah yang mampu menjadi subyek atau aktor yang sesungguhnya dalam tindakan berpikir, bekerja, serta mencinta. Pada masa modern kini, pemanfaatan internet di semua sisi kehidupan masyarakat menciptakan kemudahan sekaligus kesulitan bagi manusia untuk menjadi pribadi yang produktif sehingga mampu menjadi seniman cinta.

“…Monitoring the product reputation Social media supports and relies on the existing social relationships (virtual relationship, family relationships, work relationships, friendship, etc.) (Butler and Matook, 2015). Considering that spammers cannot easily build friend relationships with genuine users, the node neighbors can contribute in the trustworthiness score evaluation by confirming and supporting the node trust score.…”

Purpose -This paper aims to detect opinion leaders, who they play a vital role as influencers of their community, which will help companies to improve their image in social media. This idea came with the fast development of social media, where individuals are increasingly sharing their personal experiences, opinions and critiques about products through these platforms. Thus, the new customers can rely on these spontaneous recommendations to proceed with the purchase without risk of disappointment. Therefore, the mismanagement of the e-reputation can cause huge losses for companies.Design/methodology/approach -In this study, a product reputation framework based on the prediction of opinion leaders is presented. To do so, opinion mining has been used to determine the product reputation in social media. In addition to posts processing, the profile information has also exploited to predict opinion leaders. To achieve the authors' goal, spammers and duplicated profiles have been detected to improve the product reputation results.Findings -The effectiveness of this approach has been tested using a social media simulation. The obtained results show that this approach is efficient and more accurate compared to the classical solutions.Originality/value -The key novelty is the gathering of spammer detection criteria with different weights and the profiles matching by providing the suitable matching methods that take into account the profile's attributes types. Consequently, a different similarity measure was assigned for each of the considered four attributes types. These two steps can ensure that the results obtained from social media are actually supported by opinions extracted directly from the real physical consumers.
