There are several ways how to understand culture - and also politics - in one country. One way is to look at the media that become the backbone of communication between the state and the people. The powerful media can be used to form people's understanding on "narratives" created by the state. The narratives on politics. freedom of the press. development. and economy are constructed in such a way that people cannot but accept what are presented through the media. Singapore'sfoundingfather Lee Kuan Yew - and also his successors - understood the powerful media could bring aboutfor Singapore's culture and politics. That is wiry Lee -and his successors - used the media to build andform Singapore's culture in the first place. Singapore's ethnic and cultural diversities - which consist of the Chinese. Indians. and Malays - are regarded as a potential conflict if the state fails to set up a "common denominator" for all Singaporeans. Based on this ground. Lee and his successors figured out what to do to cope with this problem. Lee and his successors came to a conclusion that Singapore government should make use of the media to spread the idea of Singapore culture of which characteristics are pluralistic. cosmopolitan. and meritocratic. The media have contributed to spread the so-called rujak lal/guage - or widely known as Singlish - a unique Singaporean English blended with Chinese. Malay and Indian. Singapore's broadcast media policy - radio and television - are deeply influenced by Lee Kuan Yew's vision of the city state. The media have been used to construct good narratives on Singapore's culture and politics.

This paper is a critique of traditional pedagogical method in the teaching of English skills. In Indonesia. the emphasis of the teaching of English skill is on preparing students for jobs and standardized tests. While these purposes are necessary to improve students' language fluency. they are insufficient to equip students with skills they need to perform beyond college life. This paper argues that the focus of English teaching in college should be on the improvement of higher order thinking skills and the fostering of self-authorship. The paper uses socio-cultural theories of learning to discuss self-authorship and offers pedagogical implications on the basis of those theories.

At the dawn of the twentieth century. especially after the invention of internet the world began to transform itself into information age which was characterized by the production more of two things people value most in a modern democracy -freedom and equality. Freedom of choice has exploded and hierarchies of all sorts, have come under pressure and begun to crumble. People were trapped in a globalized and homogenous condition. Accompanying the shift there arouses social disorders which is indicated especially by the decline of family values. As that of other industrialized countries, when the United States becomes more advanced it is assumed that all its states experience the same condition. There seems no place for distinctive feature. The southern states which always claim and are claimed to be distinctive from the rest will . therefore. be interesting and worth observing. Taking John Grisham's work. The Testament. which is set in Virginia in the year of J 996s, as the main source, this study is done under the notion that literary works could serve as mental evidence of what happens in society. The result demonstrates that Southern society experience the same condition. The increasing individualism in turn exerts great influence on the family life. The bond becomes more loosen and distrust rises.
