Abstract

One of the issues that students face today is a lack of politeness in their language. Students' politeness is reflected in their attitudes when sending messages to lecturers. The objective of this study was to determine how polite students are when communicating with their lecturers through WhatsApp.  This study was conducted at a private university in Sukoharjo. The data was obtained from student texts in the lecturer's WhatsApp app. The data was analyzed using Brown and Levinson's (1987) FTA theory on politeness strategies. According to the findings of the study, some students were found sending messages without greeting the lecturers and instead conveying their intentions directly. FTAs are common, and students frequently threaten the lecturers' faces. The words used in a student's message can have an effect on the teacher's feelings and make the conversation appear informal. Students appear to be unaware of social distance, roles and status, and power dynamics when interacting with lecturers. Some students treat lecturers as equals, which comes across as rude and disrespectful. It is strongly suggested that this topic be expanded upon and discussed in a broader context and area for future research. More research could look at this issue from a different perspective.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine Javanese traditional ethics and teachings, especially through an intertextual reading of Javanese Pupuh Pangkur chant text in Serat Wulang Reh. This study sought to learn more about the positive values that shape Javanese noble morals, as well as their representation and implementation in modern Javanese society, and their relationship to the idea of maintaining arts and culture in accordance with Javanese philosophy. The script writer Pupuh Pangkur wishes to remind the audience to be humble rather than arrogant. A person who exaggerates his strength or brags about his good deeds is considered arrogant, and such behavior is prohibited. An arrogant person also enjoys pointing out the flaws and shortcomings of others in public. People who exhibit these characteristics are despicable and should be avoided. People with bad personalities frequently commit acts such as taking away other people's rights, stealing, cheating, or corruption. Their primary goal in life is to make money and accumulate wealth. These people are influenced by worldly desires to pursue personal pleasures such as wasting money, drinking, having affairs with women, and so on.
