Abstract

This paper examines Posey's selfless actions, namely her readiness to make sacrifices, as a major character in Mitch Albom's For One More Day. Emotional empathy and a strong moral commitment are frequently present in altruism, which is characterized as unselfish care for the welfare of others. This study uses a qualitative yet psychological literary analysis to look at how Posey's self-sacrificing actions, whether they be financial, emotional, or physical, show what true altruism is all about. Posey continuously puts the needs of others before her own, from taking on dual parental responsibilities to facing social shame and working nonstop to maintain her family. The results demonstrate that Posey's sacrifices are based on resilience, responsibility, and true love. Her character serves as a reflection of the transforming potential of caring and emphasizes the inner strength needed to continuously give without expecting anything in return.

Abstract

This article examines how the Superman: Red Son movie by Sam Liu portrays Superman’s narcissism behavior. The movie is about another universe in DC Comics where Superman is born in Soviet Union within Cold War. It also shows how Superman is practicing his overconfidence within his God Complex as the sole legitimate ruler for his people in Superman: Red Son. In this movie, Superman is depicted as a very tyrannical Soviet leader. Superman also thinks that he is better than other people. He believes that all that he does is justified and bearing truth according to his own values. Through qualitative method, this article would like to explore more whether Superman’s God Complex is closely related to condition of narcissism behavior. In analysis, Superman is proved to practice narcissism as a high sense of self-importance, being arrogant to other people, and always act high and mighty toward the people presence. In conclusion, it is clear that Superman’s God Complex is in matter of narcissism behavior, especially in his action towards other people.

Abstract

Troloyo Cemetery, located in Trowulan, Mojokerto, East Java, is a historical burial site that exemplifies the hybridity between Islam, Hindu-Buddhist traditions, and modernity. This study explores the cemetery as a cultural third space, a concept introduced by Homi K. Bhabha (1994), where different belief systems and historical legacies intersect, negotiate, and form new identities. The research applies a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews and direct observation, focusing on the perceptions of local caretakers and community members. Findings reveal that Islamic elements are present in tombstone inscriptions, Arabic calligraphy, and pilgrimage practices associated with Syekh Jumadil Kubro, a key figure in Javanese Islamization. Simultaneously, Hindu-Buddhist influences persist through architectural structures like kijing and symbols such as Surya Majapahit, while modern features—such as tourism and infrastructure development—further shape the site's identity. Ritual practices like incense burning, flower offerings, and local cosmological concepts highlight syncretic expressions of spirituality rooted in Javanese culture. These complex layers of religiosity and symbolism challenge rigid categorizations of identity, instead revealing a dynamic cultural landscape formed through historical negotiation and continuity. The study concludes that Troloyo Cemetery functions not merely as a sacred Islamic site but as a hybrid space where cultural and religious forms co-exist and evolve, offering a deeper understanding of Indonesia's plural spiritual heritage.

Abstract

This study investigates disablism and its impacts in Kate Chopin’s flash fiction entitled The Blind Man. Chopin straightforwardly writes that the blind man, as the main character, is discriminated against because of his disability. This is called disablism; it occurs when people have a negative viewpoint, undermine someone with a disability, and bring harm or prolonged hatred to them. Through the theory of disablism and qualitative analysis, this research explores disablism and its impacts in both real life and literature. Chopin’s flash fiction proves that treatment toward human beings is never neutral, but always identity-related. Meanwhile, disabled people should be regarded as human beings, not through their disabilities. In conclusion, Chopin’s story opens people’s eyes to humanize others, especially those with physical limitations.

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.
