Abstract


This article utilizes critical discourse analysis (CDA) to analyze a vlog entitled Pelecehan Saya on Pita’s life YouTube Channel. This study aims at identifying and describing the social wrong in the vlog, the position of social wrong, and the strategies to pass the social wrong. Fairclough’s four stages in methodology are used as the approach of the study. Based on the analysis, three main issues are found. First, there is sex harassment done by the adult to the kids in the video, yet, there is no support from victim’s family.

Furthermore, she can convince Manado’s youngsters that there is a hope for the better situation if the sexual harassment’s victim is brave to speak up.
