Abstract

This article explores the implementation of a children's leadership development program in Jorong Baduih, Tanah Datar, aimed at fostering young religious leaders to serve as imams, khatibs, and preachers. The program addresses the declining involvement of youth in religious activities due to migration and the absence of structured mentorship, which threatens the continuity of local Islamic traditions. Using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, the initiative involved community leaders, religious figures, and families in identifying needs, designing training modules, and evaluating progress. The program featured hands-on training sessions, simulations, and mentorship by local religious leaders to enhance the participants' competence and confidence. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the children's ability to lead prayers, deliver sermons, and engage in public speaking, fostering a sense of responsibility and pride. Despite challenges such as limited training duration and facilities, adaptive measures ensured the program's success and highlighted the importance of community collaboration. The initiative not only revitalized religious engagement among youth but also strengthened community bonds and intergenerational cooperation. The program's sustainability is expected to be achieved through continuous community involvement and the institutionalization of regular training. This model offers a replicable framework for other communities seeking to preserve religious leadership and nurture future generations, reinforcing the value of grassroots initiatives in sustaining local religious and social development

Abstract

This study examines the role of advertising in shaping social perceptions and reinforcing existing social inequalities in society. In an increasingly digitally connected context, advertising functions not only as a tool for promoting products but also as a cultural force that influences public views on gender, social class, race, and ethnicity. This literature review aims to analyze how advertising creates, strengthens, or even challenges social stereotypes and prevailing norms. Based on a literature review methodology, this research collects and analyzes various relevant academic literatures, including journals, books, and articles that discuss the impact of advertising on social perceptions across different cultural and geographical contexts. The findings show that advertising often reinforces traditional gender stereotypes, portrays social class in a reductive manner, and strengthens racial hierarchies in society. However, on the other hand, there are also efforts to challenge these stereotypes through more inclusive advertising campaigns, such as femvertising. This study also highlights how social media is increasingly playing an important role in shaping narratives about social status and consumer identity. Overall, the findings suggest that advertising not only reflects but also shapes social values and norms, thus having a significant impact on the formation of social inequalities. This research is expected to provide insights for the development of more ethical and diversity-oriented advertising policies and practices
