REVIEW OF LITERATURE

A. Description of Theory

Social media gives adolescents the opportunities to identify with other users have similar
interests, but it also offers a comparison to other users. This comparison is prevalent in all
generations of adolescents but becomes to a certain degree more anonymous on social
media. As identification has a role in the development of young people social media
offers this without the need for direct interaction. Studies have examined the use of social
media and apart from passing time, entertainment, and information seeking,
interpersonal/interactive searches the main searches made by adolescents and young
adults. Studies have found that among groups of young people who use social m edia the
reason for using the platforms is to overcome perceived shortcomings within themselves.

1. Importance of social media

Social media is increasing becoming a key component of our daily lives. Presidents to
first graders explore social media platforms and contribute to a continuous flow of
information, videos and image forums.

In a New York Times article, the need to participate in social media is described as "Fear
of missing out," an article that goes on to explain how things like conventions, secret
beach, and eating spicy food can help people understand that they exist. part of a high
society.

Social media cannot be neglected in the daily agenda of personal life and public political
opinion. His supporters started chanting "Facebook, Facebook, Facebook!" shouted the
crowd at the inauguration of Brazil's new Jair Bolsonaro. “WhatsApp, WhatsApp,
WhatsApp!” says the narrator. ,” praising their chosen presidential victory platform.
Tiktok is the newest addition to the collection.

 2. Pros and Cons from Tiktok
a) Pros

The government is interested in doing social activities during the Covid-19 pandemic
(social-distancing). Social restrictions are one of the methods of preventing and
controlling the Corona virus, breaking the chain of transmission of the Corona virus by
reducing interactions between humans.

Students, students by doing learning activities at home in other words. When e-learning
is used, it results in a lot of leisure time being spent by students and students. To fill
spare time, once the tiktok application is very appropriate.

Because of the large number of users and the fact that they come from various circles,
there are many works that have been uploaded in the application, the resulting in a few
uploads managed to become the public spotlight.

1. As an application that can encourage one’s creativity in making a work.

2. To express creativity, especially in making videos, the Tik Tok application itself
is a platform to easily create videos with special and unique effects. Tik Tok also
offers a variety of music for video backgrounds, so users can create more
interesting videos.
3. This tiktok application is also video and music based, and can train teenagers or
children to hone their video editing skills, for more useful content.
4. Now the Tiktok App is used for making school assignments, as I have personally
on my social media homepage, a student is practicing making lava mountains,
practicing front roll sports and many more.

b) Cons
1. Narcissism for teenagers is increasing.

Likes, comments, and shares are one of the most important assets for social media
users such as YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and the application under discussion,

6
Tiktok. If an Indonesian teenager willingly does a lot of things in order to get a lot of
likes, comments, and shares, don’t be surprised.

As a result, there are many uploads that destroy morale among children because the
Tiktok application does not select the videos to be uploaded because the Tiktok
application does not select the videos to be uploaded. As an example, consider a
woman who is engrossed in her erotic and is willing to go to extremes to achieve
pornographic goals.

2. Loss of shame

The videos of tiktok, djtiktok, contemporary tiktok, and so on make tiktok fans sink
even more with their excitement to sway. For example, a high school student
swaying in a clump in the middle of a school field wearing a school uniform.

As a result, the loss of shame that should be owned by teenagers who have taken
education is likely to persist. Character education provided by schools to their
students does not function to be moral, ethical, and have noble character.

3. A setback for the country

Education is important to introduce and deliver people to science to explore,

develop, and optimize the potentials that exist within themselves, especially among
teenagers.

Education is the best pillar to advance a nation. A country that can be said to be a
developed country because of the quality education and intelligent nation's children.
A person who has education can improve the quality of his mindset and optimize the
potentials that exist throughout himself to build a nation that is more content with
education.

Questionnaire do have many advantages as a data collection instrument. Before the

Anonymous questionnaires are good because the respondents are free express opinions.
However, the use of anonymous questionnaires has some weaknesses too.

a. It is difficult to trace if there is a shortage of filling because the respondents did

not understand the meaning of the item.
b. It is impossible to conduct further analysis if the researcher want to break up
groups based on the characteristics needed.

Questionnaires are a number of written questions that are used of written questions that

D. Conclusion

12
According to the results of the survey, the target users of Tiktok are happy with the app.
Even if the majority of users have had a negative experience with the app, don't make it a
habit to use it.

In comparison to other surveillance apps, Tiktok also offers better security features.
More users of Instagram, Facebook, and Tinder have become targets and have had
negative consequences as a result of using the apps.

This app is mostly used to find out if it is really safe. TikTok videos seem harmless and
creative to users, but parents find that there are loopholes in the app's security.

Even if it isn't true, social networking, whatever it is, has a loyal following and parents
from one generation to the next has seen danger in a short period of time. Despite the
fact that Tiktok has made a million in Indonesia, it has yet to surpass the level of interface
problems for Facebook and other social media platforms.

It must be stated that, at this time, the app does not pose a problem for the user, but it
does pose a problem for the app's administrators. This may lie in ignorance of the
application, but it can also be a symptom of the time we are sitting in a time when there is
a limited literacy environment and highly literate technology users.

In any case, with the understanding that we offer when the item's popularity is something
we imagine, but efforts in education yield a possible answer to this problem. As a social
interaction tool, technology has become more and more common, and it can no longer be
used to hinder the emphasis on control, which necessitates the use of education in the
application.

Curricular subjects can be introduced in elementary schools as a precautionary measure

and parental supervision that must be carried out in accordance with the use of social
media applications for minors.
