Abstract:
This study focuses on Vivimarie Van Der Poorten’s contribution to promote peace through
her Facebook wall. Inhabitants of the society deal with its violent economy and cynical
human affairs. This qualitative research is conducted using her poems, translated works,
prose, and other shared ideas to keep peace in the society using the aforementioned
platform; one of the social media platforms which has a tremendous impact on our economic, social, cultural, and political aspects of daily lives. Most of the time, users on
social media platforms share content that promotes hate speech, radical ideologies, or
encourages violence. Furthermore, Facebook’s violent economy proceeds to highlight
how the social systems can disproportionately impact certain groups or individuals,
leading to various forms of harm and inequality. If violence can breed only violence, will
not peace produce peace only, is the vital question this paper tries to answer through the
ideologues of Vivimarie’s advocacy for peace on Facebook. Therefore, this paper delves
with the creative way that Vivimarie has used in using technology to give a message to
society to evoke not only the mind but also the emotive aspects of the readers while
concerning the responsibility of a society. This study deciphers how an individual puts an
effort to take accountability as a responsible human for productive life furtherance.
