POLITICAL BEHAVIOR OF YOUTH IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION

Abstract

This article examines youth political behavior in the era of globalization. In this era of rapid technological and communication advancement, youth political behavior is significantly affected by social and cultural changes, including the use of social media to express political opinions and activism. The results of the study found that youth are increasingly politically active and use social media as an important tool for expressing political opinions and activism. There are also challenges in building sustainable political understanding and participation in the long term. Youth’s increasing participation in political discourse highlights the need for educational initiatives that promote critical thinking and civic responsibility to ensure that they are prepared to navigate the complex political landscape. Creating spaces for open debate and participation will enable youth to express their opinions freely and develop the skills necessary to participate effectively in the democratic process.
