“…After socialization, the attitudes showed that Generation Z has greater potential to share political expression in social media than ever before. In research before socialization, Generation Z tends to keep their social media timeline clear of political issues, either from themselves or from their networks on social media (Lailiyah, Yuliyanto, and Pradhana 2018). They prefer to discuss politics in everyday life with their families (63%).…”

“…On one side, their creative spirit is high, but on the other, it tends to be used for negative purpose. This can happen if they lack education and awareness (Lailiyah, Yuliyanto, and Pradhana, 2018). The literacy on the political issues spread across the internet -in line with the Generation Z habits that are close to the practical and instant online media -raise the importance of political literacy among them.…”

“…One of the research has shown that the young generation at the age of senior high school students is significantly engaged in the use of social media but has very low concern on political issues. They would rather keep their social media clean from the political talks and prefer to discuss political talks offline with their family and close friends (Lailiyah, Yuliyanto, and Pradhana 2018). The engagement of gadget usage from the young generation into their daily life has also shown that the behaviour makes the young generation"s life more efficient in an interpersonal communication context.…”

This study aims to investigate the differences in attitudes of young generation in showing their political expression on social media before and after the socialization in community service. The issue is related to the attitude of young generation in using social media as a means of expres-sion. Meanwhile, we realize that the internet can often be misleading with the abundance of in-formation and hoaxes. It requires the user’s ability to choose and filter the correct and useful information. As the generation that dominates social media and the internet, Generation Z is al-so a target of politicians and political issues on the internet. Therefore, political literacy for young generation in the internet is crucial. The data in this research were collected by quantita-tive descriptive methods through surveys before and after the socialization of social media and politics. The survey was conducted on 100 high school students in Semarang City. The results showed that the program for political literacy socialization increased the political literacy of the high school students by providing a positive knowledge regarding politics. The results showed that the program increased the high school students’ political literacy and attitude towards the use of social media for political expression.

Active citizenship is closely related to basic human values and patriotism, but empirical studies have lacked investigating these variables holistically. Likewise, the mediating role of patriotism between basic human values and active citizenship seems neglected. In this context, the current study examined the relationships between basic human values, patriotism, and active citizenship by grounding upon basic human values, individualism, and collectivism theories. Results revealed that constructive patriotism positively predicted all dimensions of active citizenship (political literacy, participation and protest, and social responsibility) and mediated the relationships between basic human values and active citizenship. Additionally, while stimulation and self-direction individual values, including motivational goals such as challenges in life, independent thought, and autonomy, were associated with the individual aspect of active citizenship (protest and individual responsibility), the values based on equality (benevolence) were related with the collectivist aspect of active citizenship (participation and social responsibility). One of the most influential findings was that the universalism value could only associate positively with active citizenship through constructive patriotism. Another impressive culture-specific result was that the political literacy dimension of active citizenship was positively related to power, which includes the goal of achieving individual success and dominating others. It can be evaluated as Turkish culture is more of a vertical collectivist because, historically and sociologically, a way of gaining power and status has been possible with politics and its cognitive equivalent, political literacy. The study also revealed that active citizenship is promoted through individual values based upon an individual’s independent choices and collectivist values that support societal interests based on equality. In summary, the research mainly revealed that active citizenship is sustained by both individualist values (stimulation, self-direction) and collectivist values (universalism, benevolence), and constructive patriotism has a critical mediating role. Implications of the results were discussed with the relevant literature.
