Social media helps people achieve shared awareness about various
perceptions and helps people to act. Social media is modern tool for communication,
which spreads information and connects people very rapidly and accordingly the
social media can be a powerful tool for encouraging peace building, and prevention
of societal violence by creating awareness about the culture of tolerance, avoid
hatred, and, discrimination, disseminating facts about avoiding parental violence,
and, child abuse information, provide statistics, news articles, figures, and news
stories.
Thus, the social media can contribute to the prevention of societal violence
and promote peace building,by make people aware of how important these issues,
and, to take an action. (Adeshima I. Omotoyo, Obabor G. Nelson, 2022).
The social media can provide a platform for young people to discuss these
issues and share their experiences. This can help build a sense of community, and,
support for those who have been affected by violence or who are advocating for
peace building. (Anne kall & Helena Puig Larrauri, 2013). It can help people who
have been marginalized or silenced to have their voices amplified through social
media. This can include those who have experienced violence. (Aday, S.,Farrell, H.,
Lynch, M., Sides, J., Kelly, J., & Zuckerman, E. (2010).
In general, social media can be an effective medium for encouraging Peace
building and the prevention of societal violence.
