Abstract

In the context of inter-state diplomacy, the need for English language proficiency remains essential. This would likewise apply to the promotion of the nation's cultures in the interest of establishing and strengthening a diplomacy with other countries. The use of cultural aspects for diplomatic purposes here is referred to as cultural diplomacy. Culture becomes the main aspect to attract the attentions of the projected partnering countries. In this context, culture can take the form of drama and music performances, cultural seminars, painting exhibitions, and others.

Abstract

Religion and humans are like salt and pepper, they are inseparable. The former becomes an integral part to define the lives of the latter. In some cases, religion is perceived as a tool to construct system of meaning. Utilizing Silberman’s paradigm, this article tries to uncover the manifestation of religion as a groundwork of meaning system in human life within The Devil All the Time (2020) by Antonio Campos. A qualitative method is adopted, with data sourced from library research encompassing both written materials such as books and academic journals and visual media specifically the movie itself. The findings reveal that religion incarnates as meaning system through various elements – self and world belief, contingencies, expectations, goals, actions, and emotions. The concept of religious meaning system is exemplified by several characters who are directly tangent to the religious practices.

Abstract

As a minority group in the United States, Chinese-Americans encounter a multitude of challenges throughout the process of integrating into the dominant societal structure. For Chinese-American adolescents, these challenges are particularly intricate, given that they are in a phase of self-discovery and face psychological issues related to maturity and existence. The short film “Americanized” (2021) portrays the phenomenon of identity negotiation experienced by the fifth generation of Chinese-Americans attempting to assimilate into both the African-American and Asian-American communities. However, due to a perceived lack of alignment with the cultural and normative expectations of both groups, the character ultimately becomes marginalized. Her efforts to negotiate her identity are evident in her use of linguistic styles, fashion, gestures, and elements of hip-hop culture that symbolize her identity, yet ultimately result in further alienation from both groups. This phenomenon illustrates the challenges Asian- American adolescents face in attempting to find a place between the two cultures, and underscores the complexity of the assimilation process that can result in identity marginalization.
