Abstract

This study analyzes Terence Fletcher's leadership strategy in Whiplash (2014) through the lens of Niccolò Machiavelli’s theory of power. Fletcher’s extreme methods manipulation, intimidation, and psychological pressure align with Machiavellian principles, particularly the idea that the ends justify the means. While previous studies have explored Fletcher’s psychological impact on students, they have not connected his methods to Machiavellian leadership. This research addresses this gap by examining Fletcher’s use of Machiavellian concepts such as virtù (personal ability) and fortuna (luck), and how they influence Andrew Neiman’s development as a musician. A qualitative analysis of key scenes in the film shows that Fletcher’s tactics, though ethically questionable, effectively push students beyond their limits, demonstrating that success in high-pressure environments often requires sacrifice and resilience. However, the study also highlights the emotional cost of such extreme methods. This research contributes to the understanding of Machiavellian leadership in competitive fields, suggesting that while extreme tactics may lead to success, they come with significant ethical and psychological consequences.

Abstract

This study explores English lecturers’ perceptions, experiences, and challenges in implementing literature infused with ecoliteracy in English language teaching at the higher education level. As environmental issues become increasingly critical, fostering ecoliteracy has emerged as a key educational objective. Using a qualitative research design, the study employed semi-structured interviews with three English lecturers at MNC University, an institution committed to sustainability and interdisciplinary education. Thematic analysis revealed that lecturers view literary texts as effective tools for promoting environmental awareness, critical thinking, and student engagement. Genres such as poetry, fiction, and drama were identified as particularly impactful for embedding ecological themes. The lecturers implemented a range of teaching methods, including project-based learning, group discussion, and performance, to enhance ecoliteracy in their classrooms. However, challenges such as limited curriculum flexibility, student disengagement, and inadequate institutional resources were also reported. Despite these barriers, the lecturers agreed that implementing ecoliteracy through literature enriches language instruction and promotes socially and environmentally conscious learning. This research contributes to the discourse on sustainable education by highlighting the transformative role of ecoliterary practices in English language teaching and offering practical insights for curriculum development and teacher training.

Abstract

Language manifests in various forms, particularly among the younger generation. Generation Z, in particular, demonstrates a stronger inclination toward using slang in everyday communication rather than formal language. This study aims to investigate the use of slang words by Generation Z on the widely used social media platform, TikTok. Employing a descriptive qualitative method with a sociolinguistic approach, this research adopts the theoretical framework of Allan and Burridge (2006), who categorize slang into five types: fresh and creative, flippant, imitative, acronym, and clipping. The findings of this study revealed 50 slang word entries used by Generation Z TikTok users in 2025. The analysis showed that the slang words fell into five categories: fresh and creative (23%), flippant (12%), imitative (18%), acronym (30%), and clipping (18%). Among these, acronyms were found to be the most frequently used slang type, with a proportion of 30%. This dominance is attributed to their practicality, brevity, and effectiveness in message delivery—characteristics that align with Generation Z's preference for fast, creative, and easily comprehensible modes of communication.

A qualitative method was used to study scenes and dialog from the movie. Data were taken from the movie and supported by books, journals, and related theories. The data were analyzed using Mile’s and Huberman’s (1994) model. The results showed 17 moments in the film that reflected three parts of optimism: permanence (8 data), personalization (5 data), and pervasiveness (4 data). Zach receives strong support from the people around him, especially his mother Laura, his best friend Sammy, and his girlfriend Amy. Their support helped him to stay strong, hopeful and confident in facing cancer. This finding is in line with Seligman's theory, which shows how positive thinking helps people to stay mentally strong during difficult times. The research also shows that the movie Clouds (2020) brings attention to important issues such as emotional support and mental health. It encourages people to think more about how movies can shape our understanding of optimism and well-being in everyday life.

Abstract

This study examines Bruce Wayne’s psychological dynamics in The Batman (2022) using Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory, with a focus on the ego’s role in mediating trauma and moral conflict. This study analyzes how Wayne’s unresolved childhood trauma and dual identity as a vigilante reflect the interplay between the id, ego, and superego. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, this study analyzes purposively selected scenes and dialogues from The Batman using close textual analysis. Audience reception data further support the interpretation of Wayne’s character as a psychologically complex figure. The findings reveal that Wayne’s ego adapts to internal and external pressures through ethical compromises, illustrating Freud’s theory of ego functioning. This study contributes to contemporary literary and film criticism by offering a psychoanalytic perspective on trauma and identity in modern superhero narratives.
