Abstract

The phenomenon of students pursuing the wrong major is a prevalent issue in higher education, yet it remains minimally explored from a philosophical perspective. This study aims to explore the experiences of students who feel mismatched with their major through the lens of Stoic philosophy, particularly focusing on aspects of feelings, attitudes, and actions concerning fate. This research employs a philosophical inquiry approach. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and analyzed using the Stoic theory of fate acceptance, which encompasses feelings, attitudes, and actions. The findings indicate that students in misaligned majors were able to reflect on their experiences in a Stoic manner by managing negative emotions, accepting reality as an optimal part of fate, and undertaking rational and prudent actions in their academic pursuits and future trajectory. This finding suggests that Stoicism can be a relevant approach to addressing the psychological dynamics of university students. This study contributes to the development of reflective approaches in academic advising and enriches the discourse of practical philosophy in higher education.

Abstract

In societies where social norms are still largely based on traditional gender dichotomies, non-conventional gender expressions frequently encounter rejection and stigmatization, a phenomenon observed in both real life and popular media, including anime. This study employs Roland Barthes' semiotic approach to analyze Tsubaki's character in the anime Wind Breaker, aiming to uncover the denotative and connotative meanings of the gender symbols displayed. By focusing on visual elements such as lipstick, feminine clothing, gestures, and dialogue, the research investigates how these signs construct a narrative about gender identity that is fluid and performativity. Findings reveal that Tsubaki's representation acts as a form of counter-hegemonic discourse, challenging binary gender schemes and fostering a more inclusive interpretation of identity. However, the Indonesian audience's non-acceptance of non-conventional gender expressions in Wind Breaker indicates resistance to content perceived as deviating from local values. This research not only underscores anime's potential as a medium for social critique but also promotes discussion on the crucial need for more diverse and humane gender representation in the global media landscape.
