Abstract

George Orwell was ranked as one of the most influential English writers of the 20th century and as one of the most important chroniclers of English culture of his generation. George Orwell as a socialist criticized over a state or a government that claimed that, they are ideologically socialism. In this study, I discussed Dystopia and Orwell’s Pitfall in George Orwell’s 1984. Dystopia is an antithesis of utopia. If utopia is life of a society where a world  in safe, happy, and others which are representing all of human dreams, it reflects the desire for seeking the age of the Queen of Justice, then dystopia is the world that became  the symbol of human rights destruction of every man with their powerlessness and a hopeless life. This final project is aimed at how totalitarian dystopia reflected in 1984, what are the factors of George Orwell’s idea in 1984, and to identify how George Orwell’s adjusts himself due to his political position. I employ George Orwell’s 1984 as the object of this study. This study is a descriptive qualitative study with sociology in literature approaches. It is descriptive qualitative since the data of the study are in the form of phrases, sentences, narrations and dialogues and I do not employ computation. The data are gained by reading the novel thoroughly, identifying, and selecting. This investigation results in several findings. First, dystopia is really portrays in 1984 as the world deprivation. Second, Orwell wanted to show that basically people have a strong will to look for justice, love, truth, and solidarity. Third, Orwell wants socialism life is not a pure socialism, but socialism which represents the society that has freedom of speech. It can be concluded that Orwell is undogmatic socialist.

The result of the study shows that Pane’s Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang reflects behavior and manner of the main character Kartini as woman emancipator. The emancipation of Kartini means a revival of the women struggle through education. Woman emancipator described in Kartini is identified by five characteristics: going forward, educated and inspiring, persistent, self-disclosure, and independent. While, The Color Purple also reflects behavior and manner of the main character Celie as black woman emancipator. As black woman emancipator, Celie is identified by five characteristics: confident and hard worker, persistent, independent, self-disclosure, an uneducated woman. Although she is an uneducated woman, she can be the inspiration for black woman in America to get the same rights to white people. Both of literary works have the similar characteristics of the main characters.The same characteristic which can be the indicators of woman’s emancipation are persistent, self-disclosure, and independent and the victim of woman subordination.

Abstract

The aims of this research are, first to describe any code switching occurences found in Walk the Talk 2 and second to explain the factors that influenced the use of code-switching in the Walk the Talk 2 program. In conducting the research, I use qualitative approach. This research was analyzed a television program called Walk the Talk 2 by doing some steps. First, the video downloaded from the internet, later the videos were being transcribed. Next, I select the utterances that considered as code-switching. Finally, I analyzed the factor that influenced the use of code-switching and the function of code-switching on Walk the Talk 2 program. The study shows that that there are 110 functions in the 88 instances of code switching in this research. The proportion of those functions is as follows: there are 3 instances of quotation, 3 of addressee specification, 18 of interjection, 58 of reiteration, 7 of message qualification, 6 of personalization and objectivization, and 15 of facility of expression. From the analysis, the most frequent function found in Walk the Talk 2 program is reiteration. Reiteration function occur to clarify or emphasize what the speaker has said before. Besides, it can be concluded that one instance of code-switching is intended for more than one factors and functions. Considering the result, I would like to suggest to the reader to open their horizon that sociolinguistics can be studied not only by reading text book, but there are also many media that can be used as a tool to learned sociolinguistics. Various media such as radio, internet or television could be an alternative option to learn sociolinguistics. In additon, it is better for teacher or lecturer to use media like radio, internet or television when they are giving lecture about sociolinguistics especially in this case code-switching.

Abstract

The aims of this study are to explain how gender role concept constructed toward the children and also to identify the consequences of gender role differences that profoundly affect the quality of individual lives as reflected in play. I employed Tennessee William’s The Glass Menagerie play as the object of my study. This study was a qualitative study with Sociological approach. The data were in a form of words, phrases, sentences, and dialogues. They were collected by reading the script of the drama thoroughly, interpreting, triangulating, identifying, inventorying, and reporting the data. Some relevant theories were also used to support the analysis and answer the statements of problem. From this study, it can be concluded that parent exerts strong influences on person in perceiving their gender role concept. Masculine and feminine are quite conventional and the expectation connected to each gender become important to fulfill. However, the presence of gender roles gives consequences in life. It creates different gap toward men and women existence because women tend to be more dependent on men because they are powerless and subordinate to men. In fact, unequal power and position heighten gender based social inequalities.
