Abstract

This qualitative research study was conducted to analyze the politeness strategies used by Emily Cooper to her boss and work colleagues throughout season 3 of the Netflix series Emily in Paris, specifically within the business context. The main theory used is Watts’ second order politeness strategy (2003) that is elaborated with the politeness strategy theory by Brown and Levinson (1987). The findings indicate that Emily Cooper used more politeness sub strategies to her boss who has a higher social status than hers rather than to her work colleagues who have the same social status as hers. Additionally, the findings revealed that one out of the four politeness strategies Emily Cooper does not use to her boss, whereas she used it to her work colleagues, is the off record politeness strategy. In conclusion, in this study the politeness strategies used by Emily Cooper to both her boss and work colleagues in the series Emily in Paris season 3 depended on the social status of the person she talked to during communicating about work.

The study "Interactional Styles Used by Christopher Gardner in Movie The Pursuit of Happyness" examines the different communication styles exhibited by the character Christopher Gardner in various situations. Using Holmes's (2006) theory of interactional styles, the study identifies both feminine and masculine features in Gardner's interactions. These features include facilitative, supportive feedback, indirect, person/process-oriented, and affectively oriented (feminine), as well as competitive, aggressive interruptions, direct, task/outcome-oriented, and referentially oriented (masculine).

Abstract

As the emotional regulation process has already happened since childhood, it is a crucial phase to learn to manage emotions with different strategies. This paper explores emotional regulation strategies performed by children in five children’s picture book stories. The theoretical framework is derived from Emotional Regulation Theory by James Gross. Using antecedent-focused strategies such as situation modification shows better effects than a response modulation strategy such as expressive suppression has negative consequences. As a result of performing expressive suppression strategy, each child character in the stories experiences unpleasant effects such as stress, pessimism, and discomfort with the people around them. The characters then switch to a situation modification strategy by modifying aspects of their initial situation that trigger their negative emotions. All these lead to better consequences of emotional regulation such as experiencing a happier mood and lower levels of negative mood.

Abstract

The problem that Swiss-Belhotel Cendrawasih Biak has is the hotel brochure. The hotel brochure is unhighlighted in its USP, inconsistent in font, varied in colors, and poorly designed. This problem was caused by the hotel not prioritizing a well-designed and informative brochure. The solution was to create a brochure and improve the content of the brochure. The data collection method used was a questionnaire. The questionnaire involved 18 guests of Swiss-Belhotel Cendrawasih Biak. The main changes the writer made in the brochure are highlighting the USP, changing the font Sanz to Cinzel, making the font more consistent, using more concise words in the language, and using more consistent language in the brochure. By doing so, the writer helps the hotel increase the quality of its brochures and make them more consistent with their other promotional tools. As a result, the director of Swiss-Belhotel Cendrawasih Biak was very happy with the brochure.

Abstract

This thesis discusses the anxieties and defense mechanisms in Tantri, the protagonist of Indonesian indie film Sekala Niskala (2018). This pivotal film of Kamila Andini tells the story of Tantri, a Balinese girl, dealing with her twin brother, Tantra’s terminal illness. In this study, we are investigating Tantri’s anxieties and her ego’s defense mechanisms according to Sigmund Freud’s anxiety theory and his and Anna Freud’s defense mechanism theory. We found that Tantri displayed reality, neurotic, and moral anxiety. Her reality anxiety of Tantra’s deteriorating health extended to her neurotic anxiety and moral anxiety. As a response, Tantri’s ego applied the defense mechanisms of repression and sublimation. Tantri’s repression was manifested in a pretense of reality and dreams that revealed the fears and desires; her sublimation was expressed through a dance. The results of this study show that anxiety and defense mechanisms are universal in different stages of life and all social backgrounds.
