Furthermore, Indonesian society, particularly netizens on social media, appears to be polarized into several groups. This polarization, whether consciously or not, is a legacy of the recent democratic elections and is now starting to resurface. It has subsequently developed into a polarization of those who support the government and those who do not.
"The situation becomes even more complicated when the democratic celebration of this election seems to be a stepping stone for further polarization of support. The development of social media and its netizens serves as a showcase for how the political situation strongly influences the thinking of some Indonesians. The national situation is colored by religious, ethnic, and racial issues that are highly vulnerable to the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and the spirit of diversity that has been maintained," he concluded.
Unri's Vice Rector for Student Affairs, Dr. Syapsan ME, stated that this public lecture is crucial and necessary to broaden the knowledge of Unri students.
