Abstract

This study explores Rachel Kim’s psychological development in Shine by Jessica Jung through the lens of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. Rachel’s journey as a K-pop trainee illustrates the progression through Maslow’s five levels—physiological, safety, love and belongingness, esteem, and self-actualization. The novel highlights how Rachel and her family struggle with financial stability, addressing her psychological and safety needs. As she navigates friendships, family expectations, and industry challenges, Rachel’s love and belongingness needs come into focus. Her self-esteem is tested by public scrutiny and personal setbacks, but is ultimately restored through support from loved ones. The culmination of her journey is self-actualization, as she embraces her talent and achieves her dream of debuting as a K-pop idol. Through Rachel’s character arc, Shine reflects the universal nature of human motivation, demonstrating how ambition, resilience, and emotional fulfillment shape an individual’s growth. This analysis provides a deeper understanding of the novel’s themes, emphasizing the interplay between personal aspirations and psychological development in high-pressure environments.

Abstract

This research analyzes the impoliteness strategies used in “The Devil Wears Prada” movie, focusing on how these strategies reflect the power dynamics and emotional tensions between characters. By exploring examples of bald on-record impoliteness, positive and negative impoliteness, sarcasm or mock politeness, and withholding politeness, the study intends to reveal the implications of these strategies on the characters’ interactions, self-perception, and the overarching themes of ambition and identity in the film. This research utilized a descriptive qualitative method. Data was collected through observational and non-participatory techniques. The researcher observed the dialogue from the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" and recorded the data using note-taking. The non-participatory technique was employed because the researcher did not directly engage as a participant in the conversations. The analysis was conducted using the pragmatics identity method. The analysis reveals two instances of bald on record impoliteness, two instances of positive impoliteness, two instances of negative impoliteness, two instances of sarcasm or mock politeness, and one instance of withheld politeness. In examining the impoliteness strategies utilized in “The Devil Wears Prada”, it becomes clear that the characters often employ various methods to exert power and control in their interactions. Miranda Priestly, in particular, uses direct insults, sarcasm, and dismissive remarks to establish her dominance and reinforce the existing social hierarchies within the workplace. Furthermore, the film demonstrates that these strategies highlight the ruthless nature of the fashion industry and influence character development and audience interpretation. Ultimately, the dynamics of impoliteness enhance the film’s themes of ambition, sacrifice, and the ethical dilemmas found in professional settings.

Abstract

This study examines Burhan’s psychological transformation in the movie “The Vengeance of Seher” using the psychoanalytic theory of Sigmund Freud’s Id, Ego, and Superego. Qualitative descriptive research was applied with the information gathered from dialogue or sentences regarding the movie’s main figure. The results of the study showed that the psychological pressure and rejection that the main figure received made the Id’s urge more dominant, causing him to take a shortcut by using black magic. His inability to control his inner conflict pushed him towards destructive actions, ultimately negatively impacting him and those around him. The film Seher not only presents horror elements, but also depicts how psychological disorders can affect a person’s behavior. Furthermore, this investigation provides insight into the importance of balance between the Id, Ego, and Superego in managing emotional stress. This study suggests that by comprehending fictional characters’ psychological aspects, audiences could become more aware of mental health concerns and emotional control. This study suggests that by comprehending the psychological aspects of fictional characters, the audience could grow more aware of mental health concerns and emotional control. Moreover, this research recommends additional studies employing different psychological techniques in addition to audience reaction analysis.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of digital media in Content-based Language Teaching (CBLT) to improve reading comprehension in contexts involving English for Specific Purposes (ESP). Using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, the study was conducted over two cycles involving 79 undergraduate students from the Management Study Program at Universitas Bumigora. Digital media—including a Moodle-based Learning Management System (LMS), WhatsApp group discussions, and AI-generated video content–were implemented to support student engagement and content understanding. Quantitative data from pre- and post-tests revealed a significant improvement, with a mean score increase of 34.35 points (p < .001). Qualitative data from classroom observations indicated enhanced learner autonomy, increased peer collaboration, and better task engagement, particularly in the second cycle. The findings suggest that integrating digital platforms into ESP instruction improves comprehension and fosters student-centered learning environments. This study supports previous research on the pedagogical potential of digital media in language education and provides a practical model for embedding technology in higher education language classrooms.

Abstract

This paper examines the phenomenon of sexual harassment cloaked in religious legitimacy through an analysis of the film Walid (2025), a cinematic work that critiques the abuse of religious authority. The background of cases of sexual violence in Lombok, especially in Islamic boarding schools and educational institutions, shows the existence of unequal power relations and a culture of silence that worsens the situation of victims. Walid’s film depicts charismatic religious leaders who manipulate sacred teachings to establish absolute power and commit symbolic and sexual violence. The main objectives of this study are to: (a) identify the forms of sexual harassment that are justified in the name of religion, (b) analyze the representation of religious power in films as social criticism, and (c) provide social reflections to encourage the reform of the protection system in the religious environment. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method, analyzing the theories of Power and Symbolic Relations (Michel Foucault), Symbolic Violence (Pierre Bourdieu), and Feminist Critical Theology. The findings of the study show that Walid is not only a fictional representation, but also a reflective means that expose the oppressive power structures in religious institutions, as well as invite the public to build critical awareness, fight for justice for victims, and reject all forms of violence that take refuge behind religious symbols.
