In examining the message, firstly, the writer identifies the verbal and non-verbal expressions used in the advertisements analyzed. Secondly, she discloses the denotative and connotative meanings of those expressions. In so doing, she uses two main theories, namely, the process of signification and Peirce’s triadic modes of sign. The findings reveal that the verbal expressions in the two advertisement videos show that Innisfree is a symbol of a natural beauty and an icon of cosmetic that use nature-based ingredients. Meanwhile, the non-verbal expressions in the two advertisements constantly highlighting on Jeju island’s natural beauty, as the main source of Innifree’s products that should be preserved. Thus, Innisfree encourages its customer to conserve natural environment. In conclusion, Innisfree is a company that produces an inner and outer-beauty.

Abstract

In the thesis, I am interested to see the reasons for Jackson Maine, a famous and successful rock star to end his life based on the film A Star Is Born. To do that, I use Thomas Joiner’s Interpersonal Theory of Suicide. Joiner’s theory discusses the qualities and conditions in his life that may cause him to commit suicide. To see the reasons for Jackson Maine’s death as portrayed in the film, I also use David Brodwell and Kristin Thompson’s Mise-en-Scène theory. Using the approach, I can find the reasons behind his death by analyzing the film’s visual arrangement within the scenes. In my research, I find that Jackson Maine experiences great difficulties and disappointment that he fails to cope and encourages him to end his life. Social disconnections, burdensomeness beliefs, and suicide capabilities become the reasons behind his self-destruction decision. Keywords: Suicide, Mise-en-Scène, Film Analysis, Social Disconnections, Self-destruction.

Abstract

This article concerns with Gru’s character development in Despicable Me. In this movie, Gru, the father of three daughters is described as a villain. However, later on Gru becomes a good man. In this article, I am interested in analyzing the reasons or factors why Gru’s character traits change and how his changing character traits effect him and others. In my analysis I examine the process of Gru’s changing character traits by using the theories of characterization and conflict. Beside those theories I also use the theory of personality to get a better understanding of the effect of his character development. The findings show that his three daughters’ love plays a role in changing his character. As a result, Gru becomes a good man and he is well accepted by others. Through Gru’s experiences, I conclude that it is very important that people should show their understanding to others and be mindful to others feeling. In this way, they can have a more meaningful life.

Abstract

This paper discusses the process of making children’s picture book with low fantasy as the genre which explore racist bullying among children. The creative work emphasizes on the victims more than the bullies, thus, three stories implement Transactional Theory of Stress and Coping to show how children can cope with the stress of being racially bullied. The main characters in the three stories use problem focused coping, especially planful problem solving to stop the racist bullies from bullying them. The other two stories use Developmental Intergroup Theory to show how children learn prejudices toward other races by learning from the adults around them. The main characters in the last two stories are influenced by the adults around them in developing prejudices against others of different races and bullying them.Keywords: Racist Bullying, Coping Strategy, Transactional Theory of Stress and Coping, Developmental Intergroup Theory, Children’s Picture Books, Low Fantasy.

Abstract

The company where I did my internship is PT. Woodone Integra Indonesia or WII. WIIwas established in 2015 as a manufacturer of engineered wooden doors and other wood related products. The main problem WII is facing is their current ineffective company profile to promote its business to potential customers.It fails to communicate the Unique Selling Proposition or USPs of WII in a persuasive way. Additionally, the contents are not up to date and the design is not interesting enough to attract potential customers. This problem led to the inefficient tool usage for the marketing staff on events such as exhibition and clients visit. Thus, the solution to this problem is to replace the current company profile with a newer version. The content of the new tool will be better in terms of content and design as it will highlight the company’s USP. The reason it will be a good solution for the company’s issue is because the new company profile can be used to attract more potential customers by the marketing staff during said overseas exhibitions and clients visit. Furthermore, it will also benefit WII as it can help the company to introduce and promote not just their company but also their strengths, uniqueness, and credibility to ensure WII stands out from its competitors.

Abstract

In this research, I discuss about types of apology strategies used by Lion Group officers in handling problems with passengers. It was triggered by the fact that this Airline Company still manages to have high number of passengers though many of its passengers have been disappointed because of the service given. Here, I used Apology Strategies theory proposed by Eva Ogierman (2009) which divided Apology Strategies into three main categories and each category has its own types. To get the data, I conducted an observation within two weeks in Pattimura Airport, Ambon. From this study I found out that there is a difference in the use of types of apology strategies when the officers had to deal with both calm and emotional passengers. The officers used types of IFIDs category more frequently in dealing with emotional passengers.

Abstract

Social campaign has gained its popularity over these past years. With the rapid business development, many brands compete with each other to create a simple campaign video but still has a meaningful story. To analyze the data, the writer use semiotic approach. This study aims to discover the meaning of verbal and visual signs, and in what ways those meanings are conveyed in Sephora’s The Unlimited Power of Beauty video. The findings show that in The Unlimited Power of Beauty video, Sephora strives to redefine the term of beauty which cannot be determined merely by particular criteria such as having a white and flawless skin, but beauty can be defined in all forms, sizes, and ages through the verbal and visual signs.

Abstract

This study was done to find out the types of teacher’s corrective feedback and the errors in sentence structure that had teacher’s feedback on Writing 4A students’ first drafts of their four assignments. The writer used theories from Ellis (2009) about written corrective feedback and Ho (2005) about errors in sentence structure. This study was a qualitative study. The source of data was the Writing-4A’s four students’ first draft of their four assignments. The findings showed that the teacher used one type of corrective feedback: indirect corrective feedback to both groups with Electronic Feedback as the media for group B, and group B made more errors than group A did. Most of the errors were fragmented sentences, and happened when the students wrote compound sentences. In conclusion, the teacher did not differentiate the students in giving feedback, and B-students had more difficulties in creating compound sentences. Keywords: Feedback, Written Corrective Feedback, Errors in Sentence Structure

Abstract

This study is concerned with the Americanized exposure of Confucian filial piety expressed in one of Disney’s animated features, Mulan. I intend to analyze how Disney reframes the original concept of Confucian filial piety to meet the global understanding of Disney’s audience and how Disney’s fundamental motives affect Disney’s decision on combining Confucian filial piety with American values. In the analysis, I use three main theories, namely americanization, disneyfication, and cultural hybridity related to cultural imperialism.  In my analysis, I find that Disney reframes the original concept of Confucian filialness in a more Americanized manner, by injecting some classic American notions such as individualism and equality of opportunity in order to preserve Disney’s standardized formula. And yet, the most significant motive is Disney’s marketing purpose related to the acceptance of Disney’s audience and Disney’s reputation as a showbiz industry.
