Abstract

Humans, influenced by their environment and culture, form diverse characters. Tolerance and openness between cultures is the key to coexistence. Joining a group brings a solution in culture, even if it conflicts with individual personalities. Dynamics and interactions between groups are needed to find a new culture, despite the potential for clashes due to cultural defenses. This phenomenon often occurs in students who migrate, facing culture shock due to cultural differences. Adjustment to the new environment is needed to overcome culture shock. Skilled adaptation communication can minimize the impact of culture shock and prevent conflict. This research uses descriptive qualitative methods with secondary data. Adaptation communication patterns of overseas students involve four stages: self-adjustment, frustration, readjustment, and development of meaningful communication. These four stages become the facility and heart of successful adaptation, improving students' communication and social relations with the campus environment.

Abstract

In our culture, the human growth cycle is a constant, from vulnerable infants to adults. Ruth Benedict underscores the physiological contrast between the two, as well as the roles that change over time. While these facts of nature underlie discussions of humans, the anthropologist's role is to analyze the interaction between "nature" and human behavior, and how culture influences it. In this context, Benedict highlights the concepts of continuity and discontinuity, describing variations in child training in different cultures and differences in roles between children and adults. She points out that although physiological differences exist, the process of transitioning from child to adult varies significantly between societies. In her paper, Benedict analyzes three contracts that are prominent in culture, namely non-responsive responsible status, compliance dominance, and limited sexual roles. This research helps to understand how culture plays an important role in the formation of the human life cycle, highlighting the continuities and discontinuities that exist across different cultures.

Abstract

Folklore has become an integral part of a society's cultural heritage. This study aims to explore the influence of folklore in the formation of local cultural values using a phenomenological approach. The research method used was interviews and data analysis. The data collected was analyzed using a phenomenological approach to understand the subjective experiences of individuals in understanding and responding to folklore. The results showed that folklore has a significant role in shaping local cultural values. Respondents revealed that folklore is not only a medium to convey these values, but also an integral part of cultural identity. The diversity of folklore reflects the diversity of cultural values in the community. In addition, this study highlights the role of the individual in interpreting folklore. Individual subjective experiences play an important role in how folktales are understood and internalized. Contextual factors such as oral traditions, cultural rituals and social structures also influence the way folktales are conveyed and received by the community. Implications of this research include the importance of understanding the role of folklore in the education of local cultural values and in cultural heritage preservation efforts. With a better understanding of the influence of folklore, more effective educational programs and more targeted cultural preservation efforts can be designed.

Abstract

The development of information technology, especially through social media, has had a great impact on various aspects of life, including the preservation of traditional culture. The millennial generation, who grew up in a digital environment, has great potential in maintaining and introducing local culture through social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. This research aims to explore the role of the millennial generation in preserving traditional culture through social media and its impact on cultural diversity. The results of the study show that social media has become an effective means of introducing and introducing various elements of traditional culture to a wider audience. However, the challenge faced is the potential for commodification and distortion of cultural values due to the presentation that prioritizes entertainment over education. On the other hand, the use of social media also opens up opportunities for collaboration between cultural communities and the dissemination of knowledge about traditional culture more widely. For this reason, more in-depth cultural education is needed so that cultural preservation is not only in the form of entertainment, but also reflects authentic cultural values. The study concludes that social media can be an effective tool in the preservation of traditional culture, provided that there is an effort to maintain a balance between entertainment and a deep cultural understanding.

Abstract

Batik, as Indonesia's cultural heritage, has gone through a significant transformation, making it a symbol of nationalism and deep national identity. As a cultural expression that reflects the diversity of ethnicities, religions, and customs in Indonesia, batik is now not only used in state events, but also in everyday life. Each batik motif originating from various regions contains rich philosophical and historical meanings, illustrating the richness of Indonesia's local culture. The recognition of batik by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009 further strengthened its position as a symbol of national pride that is recognized at the international level. The main challenge facing batik is to maintain its authenticity and quality amidst globalization and the rise of mass production that does not follow traditional batik techniques. Therefore, it is important to preserve batik through education and training of batik skills for the younger generation, as well as conducting sustainable promotion in the global market. Batik also provides a significant economic impact, creating jobs for local artisans and introducing Indonesian culture to the international world. With design and technique innovations that still emphasize traditional values, batik can continue to survive and thrive in the modern era, playing an important role in strengthening Indonesia's cultural identity at the global level.

Abstract

The transformation of culture and social identity in the digital age is becoming an increasingly complex phenomenon along with the development of information and Communication Technology. This study aims to understand how digital media affects the construction of social identity and cultural change in society. Using a qualitative approach, this study adopts the methods of digital ethnography, discourse analysis, and case studies to explore the experiences of individuals and communities in the digital space. The results showed that social identity becomes more flexible and can be reconstructed through interactions on social media. In addition, the phenomenon of glocalization occurs, in which the local culture adapts to the global culture in digital format. However, challenges such as cultural homogenization, filter bubbles and digital Identity Security also arise in this process. In conclusion, digital media not only accelerates cultural transformation but also creates new dynamics in the formation of social identity. Further studies are needed to explore the long-term impact of this phenomenon.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of social media on language and cultural changes among young generations. The research aims to analyze how the intensity of social media usage influences the emergence of slang, abbreviations, and borrowed words in daily communication, as well as how it accelerates the adoption of foreign cultural trends, shaping social norms and lifestyles. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 190 respondents through structured questionnaires. Several statistical tests, including validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, multiple regression, t-test, and ANOVA (F-test), were conducted to evaluate the relationships between variables. The findings reveal that social media significantly influences both language and cultural changes, with all tested hypotheses being statistically significant (p < 0.05). The regression model explains 56% of the variation in language and cultural changes (R² = 0.560). These results suggest that while social media fosters linguistic creativity and global cultural exposure, it may also contribute to the erosion of formal language use and local traditions. The study emphasizes the need for balanced digital literacy programs and cultural preservation efforts to mitigate potential negative impacts. Future research should explore long-term effects and additional influencing factors beyond social media.
