Javier Alejandro — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

Language is a communication tool that plays an important role in social life as a representation of minds and individual and group identity. Language consists of a series of sounds systemized in the form of symbols, and has free, significant, conventional, universal, productive, diverse, dynamic, and humane characteristics. As a communication tool, language allows individuals to interact in social groups, convey messages, and identify themselves in society. In addition, language reflects mental representation, where the form and structure of language follow or mimic minds and ideas. Language is also considered a personality trait that reflects an individual’s beliefs and values. This research aimed to increase understanding of the role of language as a communication tool, mind representation, and identity. The research method involved an in-depth literature review, analysis of linguistic data, and observation of social phenomena in everyday language use. The analysis used a descriptive and interpretive approach to understand the relationship between language, mind, and identity. The results showed that language not only functions as a tool to convey messages but also as a medium that reflects mindset, cultural values, and social identity. The choice of language code was closely related to language ethics, influenced by a community’s social and cultural rules. This research concluded that language was a reflection of human complexity in thinking, communicating, and building identity. Using language in accordance with language ethics contributed to forming a positive image of individuals in society.

The objectives of this study are: to identify the causes of violations of the village endogamy marriage system in the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village, to understand the process of imposing sanctions on residents who violate this system, and to analyse the implications of these sanctions on the status and roles of the offenders within the village. This article uses a qualitative approach to gather data from various sources relevant to the research needs. Interviews with community leaders from the Tenganan Pegringsingan Traditional Village revealed that the causes of violations of the village endogamy marriage system are psychological and environmental factors.

Ni Ketut Kusuma Wardani, I Made Ariasa Giri — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The perception that Hindu religious education is challenging to comprehend due to its complex philosophical language is becoming obsolete in today’s modern context. This study explores the educational values embedded within 26 illustrated stories in the Bhagavad Gita (For Students and Beginners) by Ramananda Prasad. Although universal in nature, these stories often obscure the explicit Hindu religious educational values they convey. As a foundational aspect of personal development, understanding Hindu educational values aids in building self-competence for students and beginners. This study aims to identify and analyze the concept of Hindu religious education values and their presence in the illustrated stories of the Bhagavad Gita by Ramananda Prasad. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative reference method, this research delves into the textual content of the Bhagavad Gita, interpreting its values and their application. The findings reveal that Hindu religious education is a comprehensive framework for imparting knowledge, attitudes, personality, and practical skills aligned with Hindu teachings, specifically related to the Tri Jnana Sandhi (three fundamental aspects of knowledge: Jnana, Vijnana, and Ajna). Three primary educational values emerge from the analysis: religious values, emphasizing devotion and spiritual practice; moral values, focusing on ethical behavior and integrity; and compassion values, highlighting empathy and care for others. In conclusion, the illustrated stories in Ramananda Prasad’s Bhagavad Gita serve as an accessible medium for conveying Hindu educational values, transforming complex teachings into relatable narratives that resonate with both students and beginners in their spiritual and personal growth.
