Abstract

Along with the progress of the times in the post-truth era, all sophisticated mass media, and technological advances make the world more global, transparent and without any boundaries. The ease of obtaining information raises various kinds of positive and negative impacts. One of the negative impacts that occurs is the rampant criminality and the ease with which people are provoked by provocation both in the real world and in cyberspace, as well as the large number of teenagers who are involved in cases of brawls, drugs and free sex which shows the failure of moral and character education. Thus, the urgency of moral education is a necessity, especially in this post-truth era, where moral problems are increasingly widespread. From these problems, the authors are interested in studying the challenges of moral education in the post-truth era. In describing this study, the author uses the literature review method. The results of this study indicate that there are various challenges that must be faced when implementing moral education in this post-truth era, that are hoax, bullshit, lying culture, fragmentation and polarization of society, and an intolerant society. By understanding the challenges in implementing moral education, it will make it easier for people to make a civilized and noble generation.
