Peran Etika Pendidikan Kristen Mensiasati Hoaks Bagi Pemuda Di Era Teknologi Digital

Abstract

The uniqueness of humans lies in their qualities and capacities that distinguish them from other creatures. These qualities and capacities include human intellect, moral purity, spirituality, dominion over the earth, and creativity. This fact gives humans the potential for technological creativity (digitalization) in developing and creating it. This article analyzes how young people can implement Christian moral ethics amidst the onslaught of digital technology, which often includes hoaxes and cyberbullying. This qualitative research, using descriptive data in the form of written or spoken words that reflect the meaning of human behavior, helps researchers interpret spiritual and theological values ​​in depth. This aligns with Creswell's view that qualitative research is effective in uncovering complex phenomena that cannot be measured statistically but rather understood through the interpretation of lived experiences. The goal is to provide a comprehensive application of Christian moral ethics for young people to navigate the advancement of digital technology and to avoid falling prey to the misleading influence of technology. This is achieved by implementing high and responsible Christian moral ethics.
