The Impact of Social Media on Family Resilience

Abstract

Social media has become a part of life in society, there are many benefits that can be obtained and there are also negative impacts from social media itself. With the development of increasingly modern times and the increasing number of technologies, of course a family must have a foundation and also a fortress to maintain the family's resilience in using media in life. The causal factor for the impact of social media on family resilience is the lack of parental supervision of children in using social media properly. Furthermore, there are no restrictions for husbands and wives in using social media in interacting with other people. This article uses library research methods , namely research on written and library sources. The results of the library research that have been collected are then analyzed using content analysis and comparative methods. With the freedom and flexibility of children and parents in using social media, of course there needs to be supervision and limits to avoid cases of pornography which can damage children's brains and also infidelity which can damage the resilience of a family. From the research conducted, by looking at the increasingly rapid development of social media, it is necessary to have limitations in using it, especially in accessing the media, to avoid activities that can damage the family's resilience, and to always be careful when using social media. Use social media for positive things.
