In addition, the role of social media today is truly remarkable.In addition to being a communication tool, social media also serves as an information hub, allowing users to stay informed about everything that is happening. On the other hand, social media can also be very intimidating for us, especially for young people. Some young individuals misuse social media for non-productive purposes rather than beneficial ones. The aim of this research is to understand the extent of social media's role in shaping children's ethics and behavior in education. This research method uses a qualitative research approach. The results of this study indicate that the role of media in shaping children's ethics and behavior is very important, as media has an influence on children both positively and negatively.
