Abstract

The tradition of school farewell ceremonies in Indonesia has evolved into a significant academic and social milestone, yet it frequently sparks public controversy due to high implementation costs that burden lower-income families. In response, the Governor of Lampung issued Circular Letter No. 73 of 2025, which regulates these events to ensure they do not impose a financial burden. This study aims to analyze parents' perceptions of this policy and test whether significant differences in perception exist based on socioeconomic strata. Using a quantitative, data were collected through questionnaires from 207 parents in Bandar Lampung, representing diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Data were analyzed using crosstabulation and the Pearson Chi-Square statistical test to examine the relationship between socioeconomic status and perception categories determined through a cut-off point method. The results reveal a highly significant difference in perception between parents from middle-high and middle-low socioeconomic strata (p=0.000). Parents from middle-low backgrounds exhibit overwhelming support (93% positive perception), viewing the policy as a crucial form of economic protection. Conversely, the middle-high group shows a notably higher level of resistance (38% negative perception), reflecting a conflict between policy objectives and the social expectations or prestige values of the upper class. These findings suggest that policymakers must design more inclusive and persuasive communication strategies to minimize sociological resistance and ensure equitable policy implementation.

Abstract

This study was conducted to analyze the moral messages conveyed to children through the animated film Jumbo, focusing on how moral values are represented through narrative structure, symbols, and visual elements. The research was motivated by the growing role of film as a mass communication medium that not only entertains but also educates and shapes children’s character. Although Jumbo presents themes such as friendship, courage, self-acceptance, empathy, and respect for differences, these values are often delivered implicitly, which may cause audiences, particularly children, to overlook or misinterpret the intended moral messages. Therefore, this research aims to identify the moral messages contained in the film and examine their suitability for child audiences. This study employed a qualitative approach using a descriptive content analysis method. Primary data were obtained through repeated observation of the film to identify significant scenes, dialogues, symbols, and visual representations related to moral values. Secondary data were collected from documentation, including film reviews, articles, and related supporting materials. In addition, informants from the Child Protection Division of DP3A Bandar Lampung City were involved to assess the alignment of the film’s moral messages with child-friendly content standards. The findings indicate that Jumbo contains strong moral messages related to friendship, anti-bullying, emotional resilience, self-acceptance, and spiritual values, which are conveyed through symbolic visuals and character development. The study concludes that Jumbo is suitable as a child-friendly film and has the potential to function as an effective medium for moral education, while also contributing to communication studies, particularly in the analysis of moral messages in audio-visual media.
