Abstract

This article explores the influence of social media on public opinion through the lens of literary and cultural perspectives. Utilizing a qualitative methodology grounded in literature review and library research, the study investigates how narratives, symbols, and cultural discourses on social media shape collective perceptions and behaviors. Social media platforms serve as powerful spaces where individuals negotiate identities, construct meanings, and disseminate ideologies. By examining theoretical frameworks and case studies from various disciplines, this research uncovers the mechanisms by which social media content reinforces or challenges dominant cultural narratives. Findings highlight that social media amplifies marginalized voices while simultaneously perpetuating echo chambers and misinformation. Furthermore, the interplay between visual and textual elements on platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok exemplifies the role of storytelling in shaping public sentiment. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how cultural artifacts and digital storytelling influence the formation of public opinion in the contemporary digital landscape. It calls for critical engagement with social media practices to address issues of polarization, bias, and ethical communication. The insights from this research are valuable for scholars, policymakers, and media practitioners seeking to navigate and harness the socio-cultural dynamics of digital media environments
