Abstract

This study aims to enhance the effectiveness of interpersonal communication through understanding and strengthening self-concept. Effective interpersonal communication is a crucial skill in human life, contributing to building meaningful relationships, fostering trust, and resolving conflicts. However, a weak self-concept often hinders effective communication, such as low self-esteem or social anxiety. This research highlights that a positive self-concept is key to boosting confidence, openness, and empathy, essential elements in social interactions. In increasingly complex cross-cultural communication, a strong self-concept is the foundation for adapting to diverse social backgrounds. The study emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance, feedback management, and motivation for personal growth as primary components in enhancing interpersonal communication skills. These findings provide insights into how individuals can build more harmonious and constructive relationships by managing a healthy self-concept effectively.

Abstract

The post-truth era is characterized by the erosion of the role of facts in shaping public opinion, which is increasingly replaced by personal emotions and beliefs. The younger generation, as the dominant users of social media, faces serious challenges in sorting out accurate information amid the dominance of emotional content, algorithms that create echo chambers, and digital social pressures. This study employs a descriptive-qualitative approach based on literature studies to identify the main challenges faced by the younger generation and formulate strategies to improve information literacy. The study's results show that low media literacy, digital fatigue, a crisis of trust in institutions, and the weak integration of media literacy in formal education all contribute to increased vulnerability to disinformation. Therefore, a systemic approach is needed through the collaboration of various parties to form a healthy information ecosystem and strengthen the resilience of the digital generation to information manipulation.

Abstract

Social media, especially Instagram, is a platform that influences individual behavior in building a digital presence. The phenomenon of clout chasing emerged as a strategy to gain attention and popularity through provocative content, including sensual nuances. This study uses a descriptive-analytical method with a qualitative approach to understand the meaning behind this behavior. The subject of the study is Instagram users who actively produce personal content with emotional nuances to increase social interaction. The results show that the need for existential validation and recognition drives oversharing behaviors that utilize platform algorithmic mechanisms. This phenomenon reflects the disintegration of social norms, in which privacy and decency are replaced by new standards oriented towards interaction and popularity. The conclusion of the study states that clout chasing creates a cycle of performativity that deepens social alienation, describing how social media influences an individual's morality and digital identity.

Abstract

Artikel ini membahas “Penyihir Putih” sebagai metafora konseptual bagi figur ideal-tipikal yang mengubah legitimasi religius menjadi kewenangan pseudo-medis dalam masyarakat modern. Kajian ini bertujuan menjelaskan perubahan status epistemik ketika otoritas religius digunakan untuk menetapkan sebab penyakit, diagnosis, dan efektivitas terapi tanpa mekanisme pembuktian dan koreksi yang memadai. Tulisan disusun sebagai kajian konseptual-filosofis berbasis literatur dan analisis kritis dengan menggunakan pemikiran Geertz, Weber, Bourdieu, Foucault, dan Popper untuk membaca hubungan antara simbol, karisma, modal simbolik, kuasa pengetahuan, dan klaim terapeutik. Analisis menunjukkan bahwa otoritas Penyihir Putih terbentuk melalui konversi kesalehan dan simbol agama menjadi legitimasi penyembuhan, diperkuat oleh testimoni serta struktur klaim yang memungkinkan keberhasilan maupun kegagalan mempertahankan kewibawaan penyembuh. Secara epistemologis, persoalan muncul ketika klaim spiritual berubah menjadi klaim faktual mengenai penyakit tanpa keterbukaan terhadap pemeriksaan dan koreksi. Kritik artikel ini karena itu diarahkan pada perubahan otoritas spiritual menjadi otoritas pseudo-medis, bukan pada doa atau spiritualitas sebagai pendamping perawatan medis.
