Abstract

This paper examines the theme of perseverance in the animated film Kung Fu Panda (2008), focusing on the journey of the protagonist, Po, as an embodiment of resilience and determination. The story follows Po, an overweight and unskilled panda, who dreams of becoming a kung fu master. Po is unexpectedly chosen as the Dragon Warrior, tasked with protecting the Valley of Peace. Through hard work, belief in himself, and overcoming self-doubt, Po demonstrates that perseverance, rather than natural talent, is the key to success. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Po’s character arc reflects the importance of perseverance in overcoming adversity and achieving personal growth. The research adopts a narrative analysis approach, focusing on Po’s interactions with other characters throughout the film. This paper explores how Po’s perseverant journey aligns with Albert Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy, where persistence, belief in one’s abilities, and overcoming negative feedback led to eventual success. The analysis reveals that Po’s perseverance is key not only to his success as the Dragon Warrior but also to his self-acceptance and personal fulfilment. The conclusion highlights how the film serves as an inspirational narrative, teaching audiences that persistence and belief in oneself are vital components of achieving greatness, regardless of one’s initial circumstances.

Abstract

This study addresses the tendency to interpret Majapahit artifacts through fixed symbolic meanings without examining how value is constructed through social experience. The research focuses on the Ganesha statue in Trowulan Museum as a cultural artifact situated within a specific historical context. A qualitative interpretive design is employed, using literature-based analysis and symbolic examination guided by the framework of John Dewey’s theory of value. The findings indicate that the Ganesha statue functions not only as a religious representation but as a medium through which values related to knowledge, authority, and social order are organized. Its symbolic attributes are shown to reflect practical concerns within Majapahit society rather than fixed doctrinal meanings. Comparative analysis reveals that differences between Indian and Majapahit representations result from contextual adaptation rather than variation in form alone. The study also demonstrates that the relocation of the statue into a museum context produces a shift in valuation, where its function changes from ritual practice to educational and cultural interpretation. These findings support the view that value emerges through interaction, use, and changing conditions. The study contributes to cultural and educational research by positioning artifacts as active participants in value formation rather than passive carriers of meaning.

Abstract

This study analyzes rhetorical devices used by Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky in their spontaneous verbal exchange published by The Wall Street Journal in 2025. This study aims to identify the types of rhetorical devices used by both political leaders and to explain how these devices function as instruments of power negotiation in high-stakes political communication. This research applies Norman Fairclough's Critical Discourse Analysis framework, focusing on textual and sociocultural practice dimensions to examine how language constructs power relations and social meaning. This paper used a descriptive qualitative method. The results show that Trump predominantly uses repetition, metaphor, hyperbole, and sarcasm to assert dominance and construct authority. At the same time, Zelensky employs rhetorical questions, rejection of imposed metaphors, emotional appeals, and ethical positioning to resist dominant framing and maintain credibility. Overall, the findings indicate that rhetorical devices play an important role not only as stylistic choices but also as strategic mechanisms for negotiating power and shaping social meaning in spontaneous international political discourse.

Abstract

Representativeness bias occurs when possible similarity of an object shadows the real condition. This mental shortcut, as accentuated by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, is affiliated with Gambler’s Fallacy. The Phoenix is Sylvia Townsend Warner’s short story released in 1940. This story tells about a phoenix set on a display to the audience. The owner wanted to kill it since its death would show amusement of fire. The phoenix died as the fire came out and burned the place including the owner and the spectators. Then, how is representative bias illustrated on Sylvia Townsend Warner’s The Phoenix? Through qualitative methods on psychological and literary studies, this article asserts the owner’s misconception of the phoenix. The bird’s specialty was its rare exoticness and myth about being immortal. The owner was shadowed with greed by opposing the true state of nature. He then had to accept the bitter truth of death as the pyre burned all out including himself and other persons. In conclusion, the story shows how representative bias accompanied with greedy thought may ignore otherness by accentuating mere profit.
