Abstract

This article presents issues related to harmonization and social awareness in religious diversity in Indonesia. Maintaining religious harmony is the responsibility of the state and its people. Moreover, Indonesia is a country with people who have several religions and beliefs. Based on Pancasila, people try to maintain harmony with their social awareness in tolerance for practicing their respective religions. However, there are still ripples in this harmony. Several cases in the name of religion occurred. The state intervenes with regulations, religious leaders, community leaders, government and community members intervene to resolve them. Several research results found that religious harmony still leaves many problems. Models of religious relations that have not completely dissolved, prejudice still appears and remain within the framework of the dominance of the majority group. Respect for differences, tolerance, dialogue and communication, cooperation, and solidarity, overcoming prejudice and discrimination are ways to maintain harmony and social awareness in religious diversity.

Abstract

Single parenthood has been predicted as one of the causes of poor academic performance among school students. Most studies in Western countries reported that children of single-mother and single-father families perform academically lower than children of two-parent families. A phenomenological method of inquiry and analysis was used to explain the challenges and issues faced by students from single-parent households. In-depth interviews were conducted with five secondary school students at Klang Valley. The findings revealed that the students experienced five types of challenges: lack of parental guidance, grief of losing a parent, conflict between divorced parents, financial constraint, and societal perception. In overcoming the challenges, five strategies, which are talking to someone, listening to music, expressive writing, becoming more independent and feeling grateful were employed.
