Abstract

Social diversity is an undeniable reality in higher education settings, including at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UIN SU). This study aims to examine students’ attitudes toward social diversity, identify forms of discrimination, and explore how students respond to such experiences within the campus environment. Utilizing a qualitative approach, data were collected through observations and in-depth interviews with five students from various cultural and social backgrounds. The findings reveal that most students view diversity as a strength that enriches social experiences, promotes tolerance, and helps shape more open-minded character traits. However, subtle forms of ethnic-based discrimination still occur, often expressed through jokes, social stereotypes, or unequal treatment. Students generally respond to such discrimination with empathy, wisdom, and a willingness to foster dialogue and mutual understanding. Moreover, students’ experiences as newcomers highlight the importance of openness, adaptability, and respect in navigating a diverse social environment. This research emphasizes the need to create an inclusive campus atmosphere by strengthening character education, instilling values of tolerance, and increasing social awareness, so that diversity becomes a unifying force rather than a source of conflict.

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth students' perceptions of body shaming, reveal the influence of social norms and media representations in shaping students' experiences and responses to this phenomenon, and identify the coping strategies they adopt. Using a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews of students from various departments at the University of North Sumatra (USU), this study analyzes the collected data to identify key themes and build a comprehensive understanding of the issue of body shaming in the campus environment. The results of the study show a significant prevalence of body shaming, which has a negative impact on students' mental health. Social norms that glorify narrow beauty standards, reinforced by dominant media representations, contribute to the formation of negative perceptions of the body and experiences of body shaming. Students develop various coping strategies, but integrated intervention efforts are needed to create a more inclusive and supportive campus environment.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in improving the economic welfare of poor communities in Lemahabang Village, Indramayu Regency. The focus of the study was directed at the extent to which the implementation of PKH is understood by the community, the accuracy of recipient targets, the timeliness of aid distribution, the achievement of objectives, and the tangible changes felt by beneficiaries. The research method used was qualitative with a descriptive approach, where data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation which were then analyzed by reducing data, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results showed that PKH was quite effective in helping the poor, especially through conditional assistance that supports the education and health needs of families. However, several obstacles were also found, such as inaccurate recipient data, delays in information, and limited nominal aid that did not fully meet household needs. The conclusion of this study is that PKH has made a positive contribution to the economic welfare of the community, although improvements are still needed in data collection, distribution mechanisms, and increasing the amount of aid so that the program's objectives can be optimally achieved.
