Abstract

The aims of this research is to investigate the representation of gender roles in the film Hidden Figures (2016) through the authentic experiences of three African American women, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson who were employed at NASA in the 1960s. Using Gender Role Theory, this study examines the methods these characters use to confront and navigate discrimination in a workplace characterized by male dominance and racial segregation. Using qualitative content analysis methodology, this study focuses on specific scenes that illustrate the challenges these women face as a result of their race and gender. The results show that each character faces systemic barriers, including limited access to education, inadequate recognition, and exclusion from leadership roles. However, their resilience and determination allow them to overcome these barriers. Katherine asserts her right to participate in important meetings, Dorothy teaches herself programming to maintain her relevance in the evolving workforce, and Mary defies legal barriers to pursuing a career as an engineer. This representation emphasizes the film’s core message: that perseverance and self-respect can effectively challenge and resist oppressive gender norms. Ultimately, this research not only depicts the personal struggles of these women, but also highlights the broader societal implications of challenging conventional gender roles, underscoring the importance of visibility.

Abstract

Film documents In the Name of Leaf (2021) tells the true story of Fidelis Arie Sudewarto, an Indonesian citizen who had to face social stigma and criminalization for using medical marijuana to treat his wife who suffered from a rare disease. This study aims to analyze the impact of social stigma on Fidelis' human rights as depicted in the film atas nama daun (20222).The method used is a descriptive qualitative method with content analysis techniques. Data were obtained through film transcription and analyzed by classifying Fidelis' human rights violations into three categories of rights: civil and political rights, economic, social and cultural rights, and collective and solidarity rights.The results of the study show that the social stigma received by Fidelis not only caused violations of civil and political rights such as loss of fair legal treatment, but also had an impact on economic, social, and cultural rights such as the loss of the role as head of the family and the destruction of family welfare. In addition, the stigma also robbed collective rights and solidarity, both for Fidelis and for the community of medical marijuana fighters in Indonesia.This study recommends the importance of humanitarian-based policy advocacy in handling similar cases, as well as protecting the rights of marginalized communities who are stigmatized in Indonesia

Abstract

The song Watch the World Burn by Falling in Reverse expresses the emotional and psychological struggles of the artist, who grapples with trauma, depression, and internal conflict as conveyed through the lyrics. This study aims to analyze the emotional states and psychoanalytic conflicts portrayed in the song. Using a qualitative descriptive method with content analysis techniques, the data were obtained from the song’s lyrics and examined through the lens of Freud’s psychoanalytic theory and literary psychology. The analysis classified the psychological expressions into themes of trauma, defense mechanisms such as repression, projection and sublimation, and the tension between primal impulses and social constraints. The results reveal that the lyrics articulate complex psychological conflicts and emotional states through rich metaphor and symbolism. This study highlights the role of contemporary song lyrics as a medium for psychological expression and contributes to literary psychology by deepening the understanding of how artists convey unconscious conflicts in their work.

Abstract

In today’s digital landscape, traditional norms of politeness are increasingly challenged by the fluid and often informal nature of online communication, particularly among teenagers. This study focuses on how Sundanese teenagers apply undak-usuk basa, a cultural system of linguistic politeness in their content interactions on TikTok, a platform characterized by spontaneous and casual exchanges. The aim of this research is to analyze how face-saving and face-threatening strategies are utilized by Sundanese-speaking adolescents in digital peer communication. Employing a qualitative approach, the study collects data through observation and discourse analysis of selected TikTok videos. Brown and Levinson’s Politeness Theory serves as the primary framework to examine how traditional politeness strategies are adapted within modern teenage interactions. The findings reveal that Sundanese teenagers apply undak-usuk basa selectively, influenced by social context, peer dynamics, and platform-specific norms. These results suggest that while digital media shapes communication behavior, the cultural norms embedded in undak-usuk basa remain relevant in the practice of both face-saving and face-threatening acts

Abstract

This article explores the moral integrity of Jane Eyre, the main character in Charlotte Brontë’s novel Jane Eyre, using a qualitative descriptive method focused on textual analysis. The study aims to understand how Jane's internal motivations, emotions, beliefs, goals, and actions represent a consistent and principled moral identity. Selected scenes and dialogues from the novel were analyzed, particularly those in which Jane faces emotional and ethical conflicts, such as her interactions with Mr. Brocklehurst, Mr. Rochester, and St. John Rivers. The analysis focuses on five aspects of moral integrity: staying true to personal values, emotional honesty, resistance to outside pressures, moral courage, and consistency between belief and behavior. The data were examined using interpretive tools from psychology, linguistics, and literary studies. Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2000), Blasi’s Theory of Moral Identity (1984), and Speech Act Theory (Austin, 1962; Searle, 1979) provided the theoretical foundation for this study. The findings reveal that Jane consistently shows moral strength by refusing to act against her values, even in situations involving love, authority, or comfort. Her integrity is reflected in the way she speaks, thinks, and acts, showing growth from childhood to adulthood. This study contributes to the fields of literature, psychology, and education by offering a clear framework for analyzing character-based moral development. It is useful for educators teaching ethics through literature and for researchers interested in interdisciplinary approaches to character analysis. The article provides a model for examining moral identity in literary texts using psychological and linguistic theories.

Abstract

This study intends to investigate how students at STKIP Al-Amin Indramayu perceive the Al-Amin English Club (AEC) as a platform for learning English and how confident they are in their ability to speak the language. This study takes a qualitative approach using phenomenology. It was carried out in STKIP Al-Amin Indramayu, West Java, at the Al-Amin English Club, one of the student platforms. To gather detailed information regarding this platform, the researchers spoke with five interviewees. The sample was taken from representatives of semester two, four and six of the English education department who play an active role on this platform. Data for this study was gathered through documentation, interviews, and observation. In order to determine how this platform affects students' self-confidence, this study focuses on examining the viewpoints of Al-Amin English Club members. The findings demonstrated that the learning activities offered by Al-Amin English Club are pertinent to the growth of students' English confidence. In contrast to earlier research that concentrated more on the speaking abilities of the students, this study focuses directly on the topic of self-confidence in speaking English. This platform has a positive impact on pupils' confidence, according to their viewpoints. During this activity, students' confidence in speaking English increases. Furthermore, the encouraging friendship environment is another factor that keeps students motivated to learn English, particularly in the Al-Amin English Club. Additionally, the more laid-back and informal classroom environment encourages students to participate in the Al-Amin English Club learning process.
