Abstract

In early 2025, numerous cases of human rights violations in the circus industry emerged in Indonesia, bringing public attention to the exploitation of both workers and animals. This study explores the portrayal of exploitation in Francis Lawrence’s Water for Elephants through Karl Marx’s theory of labor exploitation combined with the animal ethics perspective of Singer and Regan, presenting an insightful dual perspective in film analysis. This qualitative research employs a literature study method, analyzing scenes, dialogues, and visual elements of the film. The findings reveal that Water for Elephants portrays various indicators of exploitation: hazardous work conditions, low wages, lack of healthcare access, abuse, and poor living conditions. These conditions reflect capitalist-driven oppression for profit maximization in circus environments. The study concludes that the movie serves as a critical commentary on the ethical implications of labor and animal rights violations, reinforcing the need for broader societal awareness and reform in the treatment of both humans and animals in entertainment sectors.

Abstract

Vocabulary acquisition remains a persistent challenge for EFL learners across different educational systems, making effective learning strategies essential for academic success. This study examines Vocabulary Learning Strategies (VLS) used by undergraduate English students in Indonesia and Pakistan focusing on differences influenced by educational and cultural contexts. Using a descriptive quantitative method, data was collected through a closed-ended questionnaire from 114 students across seven universities. The questionnaire, adapted from Goundar (2019) and based on Gu and Johnson's (1996) framework, categorized VLS into meta cognitive, cognitive, memory, and activation strategies. Data analysis using SPSS included descriptive statistics, normality tests, t-tests, Mann-Whitney U tests, and Kruskal-Wallis analysis. The results revealed significant differences in VLS preferences, with cognitive strategies being the most dominant in both groups. However, Pakistani students demonstrated higher meta cognitive strategy use than their Indonesian counterparts. These findings highlight the impact of educational systems on VLS selection. The study suggests incorporating meta cognitive and activation strategies into language learning curricula to enhance students' vocabulary acquisition.
