Abstract

Each ethnic group in Indonesia has its own customs and culture that form its identity. The presence of these two ethnic groups in the same geographical area has created interesting social and cultural dynamics to study, particularly in terms of the norms of communication they have established in their daily lives. This study aims to analyze the intercultural communication norms of the Javanese and Minang ethnic groups and identify the strategies used to overcome differences in communication norms. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection conducted through direct observation, in-depth interviews with community leaders from both ethnic groups, and sources from scientific articles. The results of the study found that the Javanese and Minang ethnic communities in Jorong Timbulun Atas use two methods of communication accommodation, namely convergent and divergent adaptation strategies in intercultural communication, with Indonesian as the everyday language because it is a language that can be understood by people of different cultures. It can be concluded that the Javanese ethnic group, with its refined, polite, and gentle characteristics, and the Minang ethnic group, with its assertive nature, can coexist in the same geographical space, creating social dynamics.

Abstract

Forgiveness is widely recognized as a psychological process that enhances emotional well-being by reducing resentment and suppressing retaliatory impulses. Rooted in empathy and cognitive reappraisal, forgiveness is believed to mitigate negative evaluations of offenders. This study examines the relationship between forgiveness, psychological well-being, and aggression among young adults at the University of Balochistan, Quetta. A correlational research design was used, and a simple random sample of 200 students (100 males and 100 females) was selected. The Heartland Forgiveness Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Aggression Scale were administered. Pearson correlations revealed a significant positive relationship between forgiveness and psychological well-being, and a significant negative relationship between forgiveness and aggression. Reliability coefficients ranged between .80 and .86, indicating strong internal consistency. Independent sample t-tests also demonstrated notable gender differences across the study variables. The findings suggest that forgiveness contributes to enhanced psychological well-being and reduced aggressive tendencies among young adults. Promoting forgiveness-related skills may help foster emotional stability, life satisfaction, and healthier interpersonal behaviors within university populations.

Abstract

In the late modern era, identity is closely intertwined with consumption, shifting it from sustenance to a vital marker of individuality and a platform for showcasing fashion opulence in the social space. This study is an attempt to understand the mechanisms through which youth consumers shape their identities. Deploying a mixed-method approach, we gathered quantitative data through interviews administered by a semi-structured survey questionnaire. Complementing this, qualitative insights were gathered through in-depth interviews (IDI). Adopting a purposive sampling method frame, we interviewed 150 individuals (89 male, 61 female) from Dhanmondi, Dhaka, between March and April 2022. The objective was to unveil people’s attitudes, social norms, and behavioral influences shaping their intentions towards identity formation through consumption. Findings highlight that individuals’ attitudes and behavioral control serve as key predictors for their intention to mold a desired identity through consumption. The perception of one’s consumption as socially commendable, coupled with the approval of others, strongly influences this intention. In addition, perceived behavioral control emerged as a crucial predictor of the inclination to forge a desired identity. Notably, middle-class youths displayed a calculated and rational approach in their purchasing decisions, reflecting a strategic stance towards consumption. In-depth interviews show that social acceptance, identity expression, and feelings of fulfillment have significant effects on respondents' consumption practices, even though many oppose the idea that luxury consumption and mental well-being are positively associated. While shopping malls function as social and emotional spaces, people exhibit ambivalence, balancing desires for self-presentation and societal conformity with claims to independent selfhood. The study reveals that the late modern consumer society has ushered in changes conducive to conspicuous consumption. However, despite this trend, urban middle-class youths appear to align more with conventional consumer behaviour in many aspects. The pinnacle of conspicuous consumption has not yet been attained among this demographic, which suggests the evolving landscape in their consumption patterns.

Abstract

This study examines the practice of democracy learning in Indonesia by emphasizing the importance of citizen involvement in democratic processes, particularly through public demonstrations. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews, observations, and a comprehensive literature review as data collection methods. The data were derived from reports on public protests in both print and online media, as well as expert interviews relevant to the issue. The findings indicate a notable shift in the patterns of youth participation in political engagement. In addition to conventional forms of protest, such as physical demonstrations, contemporary participation has increasingly expanded into digital spaces, where efforts to amplify issues through social media virality play a crucial role in mobilizing public support. Furthermore, the study identifies a transformation in the language and style of protest among Indonesian youth compared to those observed during the Reform Era. These demonstrations reflect a rational expression of citizens’ concerns toward national issues, representing an important dimension of civic competence in a democratic society.

Abstract

This study aims to: (1) Describe the implementation process of the Child-Friendly School programs as a manifestation of a culture of peace at SMP Negeri 15 Yogyakarta; (2) Obtain results on the supporting and inhibiting factors in the implementation of Child-Friendly School programs as a manifestation of a culture of peace at SMP Negeri 15 Yogyakarta and alternative solutions. This study uses a qualitative method. In this study, subjects were obtained through the Snowball Sampling technique. The subjects of this study were the Principal, Vice Principal for Curriculum, Social Studies Teacher, and Guidance Counselor. The data collection techniques used observation, interviews, and documentation. As for the validity of the data in this study, it used triangulation techniques. The results indicate that: (1) The implementation of the Child-Friendly School (SRA) program as an embodiment of a culture of peace at SMP Negeri 15 Yogyakarta has been carried out through the stages of planning and implementation, and has generally run optimally in terms of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure; (2) The supporting factors include the presence of legal and formal policy frameworks, strong commitment and coordination among teachers, support from parents and the school committee, as well as ongoing teacher professional development through workshops and MGMP. However, several obstacles remain, particularly limited parental understanding and challenges related to student behavior dynamics and peer conflicts. The researcher proposes strengthening the implementation of the SRA program through student integrity pacts, integration of child-friendly values into school rules, student involvement as peer mediators, and digital-based parental education.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to examine how gender is socially constructed via social media, with a special emphasis on how gender representation affects students’ perceptions. This study analyses a variety of scientific journals pertaining to gender and social media utilizing a qualitative approach and the literature review method. The results show that gender identity is significantly shaped and reconstructed by social media through a variety of explicit and implicit forms of expression. In addition to reinforcing gender stereotypes, these portrayals allow discussion on gender equality to prosper. Additionally, social media gives students a way to express themselves and explore and regulate their gender identities. Students’ ideas of gender roles have changed as a result of this construction, becoming more fluid and open. As a result, social media plays a significant part in influencing how students perceive gender in modern society. Keywords: gender, social media, social construction, representation, students
