Abstract

The film The Devil Wears Prada portrays various aspects of hedonism, especially in the pursuit of pleasure, luxury, and social status. These behaviors are increasingly visible today, especially among Generation Z and people of all ages, where the desire for immediate gratification strongly influences lifestyle and personal choices. This growing presence of hedonistic values inspires the writers to explore the concept more deeply, aiming to understand how it shapes attitudes and decisions in contemporary society. The aim is to recognize and comprehend the different forms of hedonism depicted in the film. This study employs a qualitative explanation approach to examine the attitudes, conversations, and actions of the key characters: Miranda Priestly, Andrea Sachs, and Emily Charlton. The results indicate that six categories of hedonism arise, according to Weijers’ (2012) framework: folk hedonism (25%), value/prudential hedonism (20%), motivational hedonism (18%), normative hedonism (12%), egoist hedonism (15%), and utilitarian hedonism (10%). Among them, folk hedonism is the most common, particularly in characters that pursue immediate pleasure without considering the long-term consequences. The research finds that The Devil Wears Prada illustrates how hedonism affects character growth and choices, reflecting real-life patterns where immediate gratification frequently overshadows long-term repercussions.

Abstract

This study compares Grammarly and Paraphraser.io in supporting students’ academic writing and rewriting skills based on Flower and Hayes’s (1981) cognitive process theory, which includes the stages of planning, translating, and reviewing. Using a descriptive qualitative method supported by quantitative data, the research involved 32 English Education students who had used both tools in academic writing. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed descriptively to identify students’ perceptions of grammatical accuracy, rewriting ability, feedback quality, and overall writing improvement. The results of this study indicate that 54.4% of students use Grammarly and 45.6% use Paraphraser.io, showing that Grammarly is the slightly more dominant and trusted tool for improving grammatical accuracy and clarity, while Paraphraser.io functions as a complementary platform for paraphrasing and generating new sentence structures; together, both tools contribute effectively though through distinct roles to enhancing students’ academic writing performance. The comparative analysis revealed that Grammarly was most effective in enhancing analytical skills during the planning and reviewing stages, improving grammar, coherence, and clarity. In contrast, Paraphraser.io was most beneficial for generative skills in the translating stage, directly enhancing originality and sentence variation. Most respondents rated their writing improvement highly, confirming the positive impact of both tools on academic performance. In conclusion, the findings confirm that Grammarly and Paraphraser.io serve distinct, yet complementary roles: the former ensures linguistic precision, while the latter supports structural creativity, ultimately helping students produce highly accurate and original academic texts.

Abstract

The phenomenon of hate speech on social media, particularly on platform X, has intensified alongside the increasing level of public interaction within open and largely unregulated digital spaces. This condition not only generates communicative conflicts but also shapes complex social experiences for individuals, particularly in relation to identity, emotion, and power relations. This study aims to gain an in-depth understanding of how hate speech is constructed, interpreted, and negotiated by users within the context of digital interaction. Employing a qualitative approach with a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and digital document analysis involving 10–15 active users of platform X who have experienced hate speech. Data were analyzed thematically by identifying patterns of meaning emerging from participants’ experiences. The findings reveal three major themes: hate speech as a lingering yet normalized emotional experience; discourse as a site for the reproduction of power and identity delegitimization; and self-negotiation strategies employed by participants to survive within digital spaces. These findings indicate that hate speech operates not only at the linguistic level but also in shaping users’ social and psychological realities. Theoretically, this study reinforces Critical Discourse Analysis by emphasizing the importance of subjective experience in interpreting discursive practices. Practically, it contributes to the development of digital literacy, content moderation policies, and efforts to create more inclusive and reflective communication spaces in the digital era.
