Online Hate Speech and the Personal Experiences of Young Adult Filipinos
Keywords:
Online Hate Speech, Critical Discourse Analysis, Online Personal ExperiencesAbstract
This study was anchored on Fairclough’s (1995) Critical Discourse Analysis. It answered the main problem: What are the personal experiences of young adult Filipinos about online hate speech? Socio- demographic profile in terms of age, gender, ethnicity, and educational attainment were discussed; online hate speech based on their personal experiences, the participants’ demographics, the intensity of online hate speech, topics that mostly produced hate speech, personal experiences that caused them to receive and practice online hate speech, the determined emotions felt by the young Filipino adults when they receive and practice online hate speech, and correlations between all the variables of the study were discussed and described. Descriptive survey research revealed the demographic profile of the participants while correlational research interpreted the relationship between the variables of the study. Findings reveal that the young Filipino adults perceived hate speech as a negative assumption towards other people. They experienced it on Facebook from users who mostly insulted their gender preferences and age, and whenever they talk about politics. The participants feel angry and embarrassed when they practice and receive hate speech, respectively. Statistical findings however show that based on the seven main variables that were investigated, results show no significant correlation of young adult experiences on five of the seven variables. However, the results of correlation between the intensity of hate speech and the reception of the participants revealed a very highly significant correlation between variables. It gained a correlation of 32.516 and p-value of 0.000. Results of correlation between topics on social media and the personal experiences of young adults about hate speech gained a correlation of 33.934 and p-value of 0.000 showing a very highly significant correlation between the variables. Among others, the research recommends careful attention on young adults’ further experiences that may become traumatic when not properly addressed.
