Abstrak

The influence of social media is very real in the era of technological advancement, especially for millennials generation (or teenagers) in Indonesia. The influence can be both positive and negative. The negative influence is mainly on social issues, namely the loosening of social bond in the development of the lives of Indonesian millennial teenagers. Lindenberg in solidarity theory provides five principles for strong social bond. Apart from Lindenberg, Bronfenbrenner believes that the intensive development process of adolescents is influenced by three main social components, namely family, school, and church (religious institution). Bronfenbrenner's three social components and Lindenberg's solidarity principle need to be integrated to become the basis of social cohesion for millennial adolescents so that they are capable to deal with the negative influence of social media. The method used is a literature review from the latest journals in Indonesia combined with the data obtained from and the three years research (2021-2023) funded by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. This article aims to examine the theories of Bronfenbrenner integrated with theory of Siegwart Lindenberg as a foundation in preventing the negative influence of social media for millennials in Indonesia in the light of Christian faith. The steps that will be taken are: 1) demonstrate the negative influence of social media on adolescents in Indonesia; 2) examine the essence of Bronfenbrenner and Siegwart Lindenberg's theories and the integration of the two integrated with Christian faith, 3) provide arguments from the integration of the two theories above in Christian perspective to prevent the negative influence of social media on Indonesian millennial adolescents.
