Özet:

 Collective memory emerges as a result of the togetherness of individuals within society; It is the storage of characteristics, events or situations that reflect society in order to be remembered again. It is formed by the preservation and transfer of past experiences related to the society among the members of the society, and the values that become specific to that society by archiving it are of critical importance in maintaining the collective memory. When these values are specific to nations, national values emerge. National values are social and cultural elements specific to a nation; they help nations protect and maintain their existence. National values are acquired through learning during the socialisation process of individuals; is passed on from generation to generation. Opinion leaders, who have the power to influence individuals emotions, thoughts and behaviours with their opinions and comments, also have an important role in protecting and sustaining national values. Today, on social media, one of the main places of collective memory; The shares of opinion leaders were examined with content analysis. Content such as Turkish language, Turkish names, Turkish soldiers, Ataturk, and Turkish food are frequently shared by opinion leaders; It has been observed that they include content related to Turkish national values, especially on special national and religious days. In this context, it can be said that opinion leaders act as intermediaries in the use of content related to Turkish national values and therefore the maintenance of collective memory.

 Toplumsal bellek, toplum içindeki bireylerin bir aradalıkları neticesinde ortaya çıkan; toplumu yansıtan özelliklerin, olayların ya da durumların tekrar hatırlanması üzere depolanmasıdır. Toplumla ilişkili geçmiş yaşanmışlıkların toplumu oluşturan üyeler arasında korunması ve aktarımı itibariyle ortaya çıkan toplumsal belleğe arşivlenerek o topluma özgü çıktılardan biri haline gelen değerler de toplumsal belleğin sürdürülmesinde kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu değerlerin milletlere özgülük kazanması ile milli değerler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Milli değerler, bir milletin kendisine özgü toplumsal ve kültürel kaynaklı ögelerdir; milletlerin varlığını koruması, varlığını sürdürmesi noktasında ortak paydada buluşmalarını sağlamaktadır. Milli değerler, bireylerin toplumsallaşma süreci içerisinde öğrenme yoluyla edinilmekte; nesilden nesile aktarılmaktadır. Bireylerin duygu, düşünce ve davranışları üzerinde görüşleri ve yorumlarıyla etkileme gücüne sahip olan kanaat önderleri de milli değerlerin korunması ve sürdürülmesi noktasında önemli bir role sahip olabilmektedir. Bugün, toplumsal belleğin başlıca mekanlarından biri olarak sosyal medya, bireylerin günlük yaşam pratiklerinin ayrılmaz bir parçası haline geldiği üzere çalışmada kanaat önderlerinin sosyal medyadaki paylaşımları içerik analizinde bulunularak incelenmiştir. Türk dili, Türk isimleri, Türk askeri, Atatürk, Türk yemekleri gibi içeriklerin yüksek frekansla kanaat önderlerinin paylaşımlarında yer aldığı; ayrıca kanaat önderlerinin özellikle de milli ve dini özel günlerde Türk milli değerlerine ilişkin içeriklere yer verdikleri gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Türk milli değerlerine yönelik içeriklerin kullanımı ve dolayısıyla toplumsal belleğin sürdürülmesi noktasında kanaat önderlerinin birer aracı niteliğine sahip olduğu söylenebilmektedir.
