Abstract

In this globalization era, there are so many changes toward fields of human life. Society is very swift in its instincts and if you do not belong to it, it will resist and sneer at you or quietly drop you. It means that if an individual cannot conform to his surrounding or group, he has to be ready to receive mockery, underestimation, or even rejection. It is the reason why people will conform to the system no matter what and without any appropriate assessment to the system so that they can be accepted in the group. They do not care and do not realize with the impacts that the system may give to their personal lives. Using the media, the capitalists also unconsciously start to create a tyranny where they want to control people around them so that they have power and they will do anything to make their power stable including ignoring the norms and justifying the wrong. People then come to a deeper tyranny system without realizing it unless they empty their mind and reconsider what they have been doing. At this point, society needs someone whom they think “unusual” or “different” to give them a different point of view of their life. Someone who is called nonconformist to make they see something in a different way of thinking and someone who bravely states his view regarding his self-determination. This study is aimed to find how the nonconformist shares his idea to criticize the tyranny system in the world so that his idea is suddenly accepted by the society. The results of this study are as the following: (1) By the comparison among four characters in the same pressure, Andrea preferred to nonconformity although she knew she might lose her dream. On the other hand, Miranda, Emily, and Nigel still stood on the side of conformity because of the idiosyncrasy credits and the goal that they still wanted to reach; power, fame, and material thing. (2) By the analysis of the four characters, Miranda is as the representation of a tyrant who controls, threats, and does something harmful to her leader and her partners to maintain his position. Nigel, Emily, and other workers are as the representation of tyrant’s supporters. Andrea is as the nonconformist to criticize the tyrannical system. The nonconformity behavior in the movie tries to tell the viewers that there is no point if we become tyrant or have a will to get power, fame, or material thing while in fact we do not need them, we just want them. Therefore, this study is expected to make the readers more aware of tyrannical system around us whether it is done clearly or hidden so it will not become worst finally.

Abstract

The purposes of this article are to analyze some concepts of naturalism which are used to describe the portrayal of Buck (dog) in Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild and to understand how London uses the attribution of human qualities in humanizing the animal protagonist Buck. The method of this study is descriptive qualitative with naturalistic approach. The data are in the form of words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs. As the results, there are two important findings. First, some naturalism concepts such as the concept of survival of the fittest, determinism, and violence are shown in details. The forces of heredity and environment toward Buck’s life journey are clearly discussed well. Second, the dog-protagonist, Buck, is attributed with characteristics such as love, ambition, and revenge, traits that usually describe humans. London as the author makes a strong case that the ingredients of human morality such as sympathy, love sharing, rules, and hatred are very much evident in other animal. It is emphasized again and again, The Call of the Wild exposes the essence of human’s life. From depiction of Buck, London has successfully placed the readers in the animal’s point of view. For conclusion, whether human morality could never have developed without foundation of fellow feeling that every species shares with other animals, and consider it as a reflection of the way of human thinking toward natural environment and the existence of other creatures.

The data were collected by doing reading, identifying, classifying, selecting, analyzing, and reporting them. The data were analyzed using  structuralism  theory.  Theory of structuralism was used for analyzing the character of Sarah Watson as the main role. From the data analysis, I may conclude that 1) Daddy novel reflected the life of women in around 1960s to 1980s. It is the time when women get the opportunity in getting higher education after World War II and women movements. And as being educated, women could get a job and be equal with men. 2) Daddy novel is a simple reflection of the influence of women movement. By the characters, Steel describes the women issue in that time clearly. The women issue as the main issue in women movement such as freedom of choice to vote, apply for employment, use of hotels, restaurants, getting higher education  and all other public places. Those issues are the main things which women movement strugle for and it also led the changing of women role in society in that time.

Abstract

In this study, the writer has two main aims. They are (1) to explain how morality is portrayed in the novel and (2) to explain how morality is questioned through absurdity. This study is a qualitative analysis. The data were collected by reading, identifying, and classifying excerpts from the novel and analyzed by interpreting process of elucidating the binary opposition which later was reversed (the hierarchy) by applying Derrida’s deconstruction theory. After conducting this study, the writer came at two conclusions. First, the morality in The Outsiders was portrayed by appearances and judgments, neglecting various factors such as reasons, conditions, and motives behind particular actions. Second, considering other factors mentioned before, the writer implied that most of those moral-immoral things portrayed in the novel were merely bias. In oversimplified words, morality is an idea comes from one’s perspective (subjective), yet many people thought they could differ the right from the wrong. Thinking those entire possibilities, raised fundamental question, is not morality so absurd? Does morality even exist in the first place?

Abstract

1946 was a recovery year after Second World War ended and the early modern era. At the beginning of modern era, children were taught the basic attitude of well manners and respecting others. The social attitudes into children give adults more attention to children as separate beings, innocent, and need of protection. Therefore, this study aimed to explain (1) what British expectation toward children’s future described on Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers (2) children’s characters in Enid Blyton’s Malory Towers formed by the participation of British role and (3) today’s perspective of British ideas in 1946.

It is found that as illustrated in Malory Towers, British were expected their children to be kind, good-hearted, loved, trusted, and reliable child. In addition, parents, school, and friend’s role are important to forming children’s character to teach some values such as discipline, responsible, politeness, caring, loyal and understanding, respectful, mental strength, steady and wise attitude to reach the ideal future. On other hand, in 1946, education aims to change the society to fit the ideas of the ruling government or to create the utopian society through education. Furthermore, there are some similarities and differences of British ideas in 1946 and today’s perspective of British education system and boarding school in which all the ideas have a good aim for children’s future.s

Abstract

Today, environmental degradation and nature preservation are among the most discussed topics in media, academia, and beyond. Adopting Glotfelty’s ecocritical approach, this article investigates the relationship between human culture and the natural world in Willa Cather’s The Enchanted Bluff (2009). The present study determines the different representations of nature along with the ecological issues to (a) heighten the ecological awareness and (b) to provide a fresh perspective to look at the natural world; therefore, this article shifted its focus from the anthropocentric attitude to the biocentric and focuses on nature and its correlation with humanity. This paper challenges the human/nature binary to help us look at the natural world stripped of established stereotypes. The results indicate that nature is an indivisible portion of human identity; furthermore, humankind and the natural world are codependent and interconnected; the results also emphasize that preserving the natural world is, indeed, the prerequisite for the protection of humanity.
