2023-11-30T03:49:09+00:00

Analysis of news on BBC.com titled “Covid: Vaccine refusal tackled via Mosque training sessions” is a sign that vaccine refusal from religious community needs tackling involving the opposed community itself to make the program successful. Private ways can be taken into action to tackle covid problem which is considered a public issue. Hence, the meaning or views that see the covid tackling isn’t believed to be collective attempts done by all members of society emerged.

The analysis employs the deconstruction theory initiated by Derrida to reveal metaphysical hierarchy in the logic of binary opposition between civilians and community members that are being reversed through the concept of undecidable. The community members’ status becomes higher than civilians bringing impacts to the civilian’s status which is postponed in the concept of differance. The reverse alters covid from a public issue to become a private issue which later emphasizes the concept of dissemination resulting in a pedagogic political education process that has been successful by getting members vaccinated, however, the discourse of Moslem or community members’ identity thickened. Deconstruction is present in both meanings of public and private issues.

This research focuses on the representation of gender equality in two English textbooks for eleventh-grade students in senior high school. Textbooks are crucial educational resources that shape students' understanding, and illustrations play a significant role in engaging students and shaping their mindsets. The study analyzes English textbooks from the government (textbook K) and one private publisher (textbook P) to assess the representation of gender in their illustrations. The findings reveal that textbook K already promotes gender equality in the sense of a balanced representation of male and female illustrations and the use of both genders in illustrating leisure activities. However, gender bias persists in both books, highlighting the need to address this issue and strive for a balanced representation of gender. Further research is recommended to explore gender equality in illustrated figures across different grade levels and to investigate gender-related issues in a broader range of English textbooks.

Abstract

Essay can be one of the media to express opinion. This study focuses on analyzing conventional implicatures found in five essays about Madurese local wisdom written by college students. The research adopts a qualitative design. To gather the necessary data, the researcher employs documentary review methods. The collected data are analyzed using an interactive model of data analysis, which encompasses three key steps: data reduction, data display, and data verification/claim. The study reveals that each writer's essay on Madurese local wisdom carries its conventional implicature. The first writer expresses disagreement with certain practices and advocates for awareness and intervention to address the associated negative implications. Another writer highlights Jokotole’s positive attributes and suggests that his behavior can serve as a source of inspiration and guidance in daily life. The preservation and transmission of Madurese folktales are emphasized by another writer, who believes that future generations can develop a better understanding of Madura's cultural identity and heritage through these narratives. Additionally, promoting Madurese culture through the introduction of traditional dances, such as muang sangkal, via live performances, social media platforms, and educational events is proposed by another writer, aiming to familiarize young people with their cultural heritage and nurture a deeper appreciation for their traditions. Lastly, the importance of gathering accurate information, fostering intercultural dialogue, and rectifying misconceptions or incorrect viewpoints is emphasized by the final writer, envisioning the development of a more inclusive and open-minded society that values and respects diverse cultures.
