Abstract

Humans have a very important role in maintaining the balance of the earth's ecosystem. Human actions that are not wise in maintaining and caring for nature have resulted in damaging the ecosystem and giving impacts such as natural disasters that occur in Indonesia and abroad these days. Lauren Wellbank’s ”The Boy and The Tree” and Steven Moe’s “The Apple Tree” highlight the connection between humans and trees, emphasizing human influence on nature and the significance of protecting and maintaining the natural environment. This paper aims to analyze the human-nature interactions and the impact of human actions depicted in the two stories. This research shows that the consequences of overexploitation of natural resources have resulted in many adverse impacts on the climate, wildlife habitats and wider environmental damage. The environmental damage that continues today puts the health of our planet at risk. Thus, the personification of trees, depicted as a living being that can speak and feel, leaves a message to remind humans of their ecological responsibilities to protect and preserve nature.

Abstract

From the early-to-mid 20th century, the environmental issues portrayed in literature changed human environmental awareness and attitudes toward nature worldwide. Hemingway’s The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber and Faulkner’s The Bear depicts the connection between man and nature and how the characters’ attitudes and actions affect the environment. This study aims to compare and contrast the portrayals of the relationship between man and nature in both stories and how the authors’ perception of the relationship differs. By utilizing a framework of anthropocentrism, this paper will analyze how the characters’ actions and attitudes towards nature represent the authors’ perceptions of the human-nature relationship. Hemingway’s story represents the exploitative attitude of hunting wild animals, while Faulkner’s story portrays a deep and respectful connection with nature, thus rejecting the idea of anthropocentrism. These different findings reflect the authors’ contrasting perceptions of the relationship between man and the natural world, formed by their experiences and backgrounds. Hemingway’s depiction of exploitative hunting reflects his adventurous experience on the African safari, while Faulkner’s portrayal of interconnection with nature resembles his connection to the southern rural wilderness of Mississippi. The contrasting perceptions show that the authors’ backgrounds play an important role in developing their perspectives and values of human-nature relationships, affecting the way they present different viewpoints and themes in their work

Abstract

The belief that politics is a male-dominated sphere remains strong in Indonesia. However, the increasing participation of women in politics has also received positive appreciation from men. Masculine judgments about women’s potential can be observed through compliments in social media. Behind these compliments lies an implicit message of how men perceive and value women’s presence in the political arena. The purpose of this research is to explore the types of compliments frequently given to Indonesian women involved in politics. The study employs a qualitative descriptive method. Data consists of comments from netizens on the Instagram posts of five Indonesian female political figures. Documentation techniques are used for data collection, while Content Analysis is employed to data analysis. The steps include: 1) selecting political posts, 2) extracting top-liked compliments, 3) identifying types of compliments, 4) categorizing compliments, 5) presenting data, 6) interpreting the, and 7) drawing conclusions. The results show that the compliment types that the women receive from men are in the forms of evaluations or appreciations. The patriarchal system in Indonesia does not serve as a barrier for Indonesian women to actively participate in politics. Men will appreciate and respect women who demonstrate competence and good traits.

Abstract

In numerous studies conducted worldwide researchers, academics, and educators have been drawn to the environmental values present in English Language Teaching (ELT) textbooks. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of literature that examines the environmental values of EFL textbook, particularly in Indonesia. This study employs Eco-Critical Discourse Analysis (ECDA) to scrutinize the representation of environmental issues in ELT textbooks for secondary school affect Indonesian students’ environmental awareness. The verbal data was analysed using Halliday’s Systemic Functional Analysis. Kress and Van Leeuwen’s Visual Grammar Theory was implemented to explore, comprehend, and investigate visual representations from selected ELT Textbook. This investigation assists in the development of ELT textbook that is consistent with environmental education principles. It is regarded necessary to conduct additional educational on environmental issues in Indonesian ELT textbooks that are used in the majority of Secondary Schools in order to foster a greater understanding of the application of environmental awareness principles in the ELT context.
