Abstract

In this modern era, hanging out in cafes has become a common habit among teenagers, including those in Napa Village, Batang Toru District. Cafes have become a part of the community's life in the village, with many teenagers always hanging out in cafes. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach, using data collection techniques such as observation, interviews, and documentation. The informants in this study were 13 teenagers who consider cafes as their lifestyle. The results of this study show that cafes are now a solution for the needs of the community, especially for teenagers. They no longer feel satisfied with enjoying the living room or family lounge just to chat or discuss. Cafes are considered to provide more comfort and satisfaction, both physically and mentally, to fulfill their desires. The behavior of teenagers in Napa Village is categorized as a way of using money, goods, places, and time. The habit of hanging out in cafes is seen as a need to fill their free time for personal pleasure and as a way to show their social identity. In addition, the free time given by parents to their teenage children can influence them to become spendthrift, lazy, and prioritize playing in cafes instead of studying at home. The existence of Bagasta Cafe is seen as a place for hanging out that can show their existence and elevate their social status.

The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach. The informants were the BUMDES Subur Makmur Management, BUMDES Manager, Village Head, Village Finance Officer, and Village Community. Data collection techniques included observation, interviews, literature review, and documentation. The research findings indicate that BUMDES Subur Makmur was established in 2015 and currently operates several business units such as clean water distribution and online services. BUMDES' role in physical development has a significant impact, as evidenced by the development of village wells managed by BUMDES to meet the clean water needs of the rural community.

Abstract

Corruption is a classic problem that exists in various countries in the world, including Indonesia. Acts of corruption in Indonesia are often carried out by state officials. This is evidenced by MaTA's analysis that in as many as 157 out of 293 corruption cases in the Banda Aceh region, state officials were involved. Corruption is carried out to enrich oneself even though there is no justification for such criminal acts. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach. Data collection was done through observation, interviews, literature study, and analysis. In this paper, it can be concluded that corruption is an act of abuse of power by officials for the purpose of enriching themselves. Corruption in Indonesia is mostly committed by state officials/corruption in any form such as extortion, fraud, trade, embezzlement, and so on, all of which are actions that cannot be tolerated. Fraud and corruption are not only undesirable, illegal, or abusive. All of these are violations of moral values that have earned fraud and corrupt practices the nicknames: "immoral" or "unethical".
