Abstract

This research explored how language, dialogue, and character portrayal in Jane Campion's 2021 film "The Power of the Dog" contributed to the deconstruction of toxic masculinity within the traditional cowboy film genre. Having won several awards, the movie is considered to be a suitable source of data for the current study, especially since it explores the theme of toxic masculinity to some extent. Employing a discourse analysis approach to examine the film's dialogue, clothing, and character interactions, this study revealed how the film challenged stereotypical notions of masculinity associated with strength, stoicism, and dominance. By analyzing specific scenes involving characters like Phil Burbank, the research demonstrated how the film critiqued the emotional repression and violence often linked to cowboy culture. The results also revealed how toxic masculinity and cowboy culture are related and mutually strengthen and maintain the construction of both. This exploration contributed to the understanding of how contemporary films could challenge traditional gender norms and redefine masculinity.

Abstract

Buddhist education plays a crucial role in shaping students' character and spiritual understanding. However, learning in Buddhist Sunday Schools often faces challenges such as monotonous teaching methods, which reduce student interest and comprehension, particularly regarding puja (worship) equipment. Items like candles, incense, and flowers hold deep symbolic meaning in Buddhism, yet students' understanding remains low. This study examines the effectiveness of the Blessing Box game as an innovative solution to enhance student comprehension. A quantitative experimental method was employed, with 18 respondents. Data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using a Likert scale and paired t-test. The results showed a significant improvement in students' understanding after using the Blessing Box, with an achievement rate of 83.85% (highly understood category). The t-test confirmed a highly significant increase (t-value 18.71 > t-table 2.89), with a mean score difference of 20.38 between pre-intervention (59.44) and post-intervention (79.83). The findings indicate that Blessing Box effectively enhances students' comprehension. Teachers are advised to maintain and develop this media with more inclusive variations. Future research could expand the sample size or test the media’s effectiveness on other religious materials. This study proves that interactive learning through games can significantly improve student understanding.
