Abstract

This research analyzes the fighting values of the main character of the novel Mimpi Anak Pulau through a literary psychology approach. The focus of the research is mainly on the main character's inner resilience, exploring how the character adapts and develops in facing various life challenges. The analysis also includes the diversity of internal human resources, especially through the inner eye and mind's eye, as an important element in forming character. Carefully selected dialogue creates dimensions of internal conflict, reveals the characters' complex feelings, and touches on the paradox between fear and courage. Poetry that compares life to a flowing stream creates a picture of life's journey that inspires thought and emotion. The research conclusion shows that the fighting value in the main character of this novel is realized through a complex psychological journey, contributing to a deeper understanding of inner resilience, diversity of internal resources, and psychological dynamics in a literary work. This analysis not only highlights the complex psychological processes underlying the main character's resilience in Mimpi Anak Pulau, but also offers valuable insights for understanding how children develop inner strength in the face of adversity. By examining the character's internal resources and the role of literary devices in portraying inner conflict, this study provides educators and psychologists with tools to support children's emotional well-being and foster resilience.

This research examines the representation of women's sexuality on social media, with a special focus on Indonesian cultural and religious affects.

But social media has turned into a double-edged sword, allowing people to express themselves while also fostering objectification and.

The data came from the conversation between Pamela Safitri and two male hosts. By analyzing interactions between the hosts and Pamela, the study points out the way humour and conversation form and frequently objectify women's sexuality in digital media, especially the reality show that invites women as guest stars. The results of this study explain that sexual objectification of women often uses jokes related to the body both explicitly and implicitly. The findings show that, although social media might empower women, The media is still biased in the discussion of women, especially the sexual objectification of women's bodies through words, sentences, or discourses.

Abstract

Nadia Hashimi's novel, One Half from The East, serves as a lens to explore the pervasive issue of gender inequality in a patriarchal society. This study analyzes the depiction of women, who are consistently viewed as inferior to men and denied fundamental rights. Employing qualitative research methods and Bell Hooks' feminist theory, the analysis exposes the limitations placed upon women within this social structure. The research highlights how Afghan women, like Obayda and Rahima who resort to disguising themselves as men, face oppression and discrimination from birth. Their restricted access to education, healthcare, and even control over their own bodies exemplifies the profound impact of patriarchy on their lives. The findings of this study suggest that gender inequality is deeply ingrained in patriarchal societies and continues to limit the rights and freedoms of women. This study underscores the ongoing struggle for women's equality not just in Afghanistan, but across the globe. In conclusion, this novel became an evident that the fight for women's equality is far from over, and efforts must be made to challenge and dismantle patriarchal structures not just in Afghanistan, but worldwide.

Abstract

This research examines the impact of the Korean Wave (K-Pop) on the lifestyle of Indonesian students, with a focus on the aspects of music, drama, and Korean pop culture trends from some existing research. South Korea, through its wave, has created a cultural phenomenon that not only encompasses entertainment but also influences various aspects of student life. The study identifies that the influence of K-Pop extends beyond music, penetrating into students' clothing styles, daily language usage, and even consumptive behavior. Students, as an active group following the developments in Korean pop culture, experience significant impacts on their lifestyle. The growth of Korean culture in Indonesia creates a distinctive identity and lifestyle among students, reflected in clothing patterns, hairstyles, and daily language inspired by Korean culture. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach to gain in-depth understanding of how K-Pop influences students' lifestyles. By integrating findings from various previous studies, this research examines positive impacts such as increased knowledge and expanded social circles, while also noting negative effects such as consumerism and changes in student behavior. The importance of increasing students' self-awareness and self-control regarding cultural influences, promoting local culture by educational institutions, instilling consumer education, and raising awareness of the role of social media in shaping students' perceptions of lifestyle is emphasized. Thus, it is hoped that students can wisely utilize cultural influences while maintaining their local cultural identity.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify women as the primary breadwinners depicted in the 2017 film The Breadwinner, directed by Nora Twomey. This research analyses the role of women as the main breadwinner in The Breadwinner (2017), the challenges faced by women in this role, and the representation of gender equality issues in the film. This researcher employs a feminist theoretical framework to analyse the data. This research employs a descriptive qualitative methodology. The data for this study are drawn from the film The Breadwinner (2017), comprising sentences, dialogues and scenes that are pertinent to the research topic. The findings indicate that women in this context assume the role of both family leaders and livelihood seekers. They face significant challenges, including the necessity to conceal their gender in order to secure their primary source of income, resisting social norms, and demonstrating courage in the face of risks. The film also reflects issues pertaining to gender equality, such as restricted access to education, employment discrimination, and limited mobility. The study emphasizes the importance of female empowerment. Parvana's determination to provide for her family and her defiance against social norms serve as an inspiration. It showcases the positive impact that empowered women can have on their families and communities.
