Abstract

Swear words have significantly evolved in modern society, shifting from their traditional role as offensive or taboo language to becoming dynamic tools in communication. This study explores the transformation of profanity, focusing on its meanings, functions, and usage. It examines how swear words have taken on new purposes, such as adding humor, emphasizing speech, expressing solidarity, and conveying identity. Using linguistic, cultural, and psychological perspectives, the research analyzes the influence of media, technology, and globalization in normalizing and reshaping profanity. Social media and popular culture have played a crucial role in spreading swear words across different cultures, resulting in varied interpretations and uses. The study also highlights generational differences, showing how younger people redefine and incorporate profanity to challenge norms, strengthen social connections, or assert individuality. Additionally, it investigates the decreasing shock value of swear words and their increasing presence in everyday language. By analyzing examples from music, movies, and online platforms, the research illustrates how language adapts to reflect societal and cultural shifts. The findings suggest that the evolving role of profanity reflects broader changes in communication styles, cultural trends, and social values, providing new insights into the continuous development of language.

Abstract

This research aimed to investigate the effect of the STAD model on students' abilities in writing descriptive texts among grade XI students at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar, based on the theory developed by Robert Slavin. The methodology employed was quantitative, focusing on the population of grade XI students during the academic year 2023/2024. The researcher selected two classes as samples: XI TKJ-1 served as the experimental group with 36 students, while XI TKJ-2 acted as the control group, also consisting of 36 students. The experimental group received instruction through the STAD model, whereas the control group was taught using conventional methods. Data were collected through pre-tests and post-tests administered to both groups. The experimental class achieved a mean pre-test score of 66, while the control class had a mean score of 60. After the intervention, the experimental class's post-test mean score rose to 76, compared to the control class's post-test mean score of 68. To gather data, the researcher utilized tests as instruments. The t-test results showed a value of 4.444, which surpassed the t-table value of 1.677. This outcome indicated that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, and the null hypothesis (Ho) was rejected, confirming that the STAD model had a significant effect on improving the writing skills of grade XI students at SMK Negeri 1 Siantar in crafting descriptive texts.
