Abstract

The objectives of the study were to investigate conditions of Islamic ethics promotion and to develop learning activities to promote Islamic ethics for Muslim youth in the three Southern border provinces. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, brainstorming and critique meetings with four groups of informants: Muslim youth, parents and guardians, Muslim leaders, and Muslim academics. The data were analyzed using content analysis and presented using descriptive analysis. The results were as follows. 1) Islamic ethics promotion faced the problems of lacking experts or knowledgeable persons to carry out Islamic ethics promotion, and family did not give importance to Islamic ethics promotion. As a result, Islamic ethics promotion was not successful, Muslim youth did not receive enough Islamic ethics promotion and some of them behaved against Islamic ethical principles and neglected Islamic practice. Even though Islamic ethics promotion is needed for Muslim youth to live their lives consistent with Islamic principles, some of them wanted to have group learning activities and Islamic ethics training camps to be organized regularly so that they could appropriately apply them in their everyday life. 2) There were seven types of learning activities to promote Islamic ethics among Muslim youth that the community could apply according to the needs of the target group and community context. They were group study activities, mind-resting activities and nighttime Islamic activities, Islamic ethics training camps, Anasyid activities (singing and chanting activities to raise awareness), social reflection plays, volunteering activities, and meet the Muslim youth of new generation activities.

Summary

Introduction

Crime related stories are an irrefutable aspect of media today. Previous studies have shown a positive relationship between television news viewing and concern about the crime under the framework of cultivation theory (Custers and Van den Bulck, 2013; Romer et al, 2003). The indirect link among television and fear about crime has been explored in many studies (Custers and Van den Bulck, 2013;2015), but little attention has been paid that how exposure to social media crime videos is directly and indirectly associated with fear about crime. Cognitive factors of fear of crime played a mediatory role between the relationship of exposure and concern of crime. Fewer studies have kept their focus on university students because several studies took the adult as their participants (Grabe and Drew, 2007; Kort-Butler and Hartshorn, 2011). It is necessary to study this part of the population because they spend more time on different media platforms (Rideout et al, 2010) and media helps them to build their ideas, beliefs, values and thinking patterns (Arnett, 2007)
