Integration of Christ’s Love in Family Discipleship to Overcome Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) in Generation Z

Generation Z (Gen Z) dominates Indonesia’s population, numbering 27.94%. Marked by their love for new technologies and fear of becoming “outdated”, these traits surely have a good impact on their development. However, these traits rise new negative impact: the fear of missing out (FOMO) which can lead to lower level of life satisfaction, psychological distress, and anxiety. Based on these problems, the study focuses on integrating the love of Christ in family discipleship to overcome FOMO in Gen Z. The authors used qualitative research approach by using literature review. Based on the review of various literature sources and idea framework building, the authors proposed three steps of discipleship in the family according to the love of Christ in overcoming FOMO. Firstly, discipleship is conducted by exposition to agape love concept, which has a role in shaping concept of self in the family environment. Gen Z is discipled by guiding them to receive God's love that provides forgiveness and restoration for sinners. Secondly, discipleship is conducted in family by exposition to storge love concept. Parents provide guidance and education lovingly without having to arouse Gen Z’s anger. Third, discipleship is conducted by exposition to philia love concept, which occurs in an environment of friendship. The family becomes a common place to exhibit Christlikeness in an atmosphere of friendship. Parents become friends to Gen Z and help them experience character and spiritual growth like a friend.

Antyczno-chrześcijańskie proweniencje staropolskiej literatury pastoralnej

This article describes the influence of the ancient and Christian tradition on the formation of the genology of the idyll. It is a species structure that has a special kind of motivation, which was manifested in the methods of its conventionalization. The author presents the stage of the entry of the idyll into Polish literature of the Renaissance starting with the first Latin-language traces of idyllic creativity by Pietro Illicino and Stanisław Koszutski. Currently, these literary works are little known, although the circumstances of their creation are very interesting. Furthermore, bucolic provenance was discussed, referring to the Italian and Greek traditions. The theme of ancient and Roman Catholic Arcadia was analysed. The systematized theoretical record includes information on the relationship of the idyll with other pastoral genres, such as eclogues, carols or pastorales. The article also interprets idylls that refer to the Christian concept of neoplatonic love, i.e. the divine Amor divinus and the wordly Amor profanus. The process of transforming a Latin idyll into a Polish-language idyll is presented in the context of cultural and literary conditions of that time. This article contains a description of important genre criteria (with the textual exemplifications) gradually adapted by the first authors of pastoral literature, such as: Jan Kochanowski, Szymon Szymonowic and the Zimorowic brothers. The opus of these poets prove the numerous transformations of idyllic criteria in specific textual realizations, showing the complicated path in the location of the idyll in the canon of literature and in Polish culture in general, with its lifespan and topicality at the same time. Key words: idyll, genology, Antiquity, Renaissance, Christianity, Jan Kochanowski, Szymon Szymonowic, Szymon Zimorowic, Józef Bartłomiej Zimorowic

Gazal al-Auṭān wa al-Buldān fῑ Syi’r Māni’ Sa’ῑd al-‘Utaibah

The study examines courtly love themes in the homeland and country of the Emirati poet Manaa Saeed al-Otaiba through his two Diwan, "To Where" and "Songs and Wishes." Additionally, it intends to explore the concepts of courtly love and its origins and how to employ poetic imagery and fitting music to achieve the intended results. The poet's feelings are described in the spinning topics based on the places and countries with which he has dabbled, and it is examined how the rhetorical devices and music accompanying those poems were in line with the poet's psychological state. One of the study's conclusions is that he chose separate poetry to express what he wanted to those countries in a fluid manner replete with terms of courtly love. Hence, the titles of those poems explain the content of their verses, and the poet's courtly love extended beyond his native country to countries in the East and West. As if he intended to inform people of the lyre in his heart in many places, the poet selected the new method to be overwhelming in his lyrical poetry. The researcher believes this work has contributions that make it a new building block in the relevant studies of Emirati literature in general and al-Otaiba poetry in particular. As an outstanding poet, he deserves extensive study and research from critics to understand his poetry's substance and multiple purposes.

Cinta Kasih Refleksi Kritis Atas Intoleransi Kehidupan Beragama Di Indonesia Dari Konsep Cinta Kasih Søren A. Kierkegaard

This study focuses on exploring the concept of love according to Soren Kierkegaard's thoughts as a symbol of faith in the midst of the outbreak of religious discrimination in Indonesia. The purpose of this paper is to understand the concept of love according to Soren Kierkegaard and its relevance for religious discrimination that often occurs in Indonesia. Discrimination is common in religious life. The reason is because religion tends to be seen from the building and its rites. The religion that actually contains the values of goodness, truth and the highest value of love is narrowed in meaning. Values whose meaning is very positive and contained in the Scriptures of every religion have narrowed meanings. Religion as a place where the value of love grows is finally sacrificed due to the narrow understanding of its adherents. Soren Kierkegaard gives a very deep understanding of love. This philosopher of existentialism posits about the stages of human life, namely the aesthetic stage, the ethical stage and the religious stage. The concept of love also undergoes changes as human life progresses according to the three stages of human life. The author uses a phenomelogical approach and uses literature studies in completing this paper. According to the author, the concept of love in Kierkegaard's thinking provides the right relevance to the outbreak of religious discrimination that occurred in Indonesia.

Love, knowledge (wisdom) and justice: Moral education beyond the cultivation of Aristotelian virtuous character

ABSTRACT There could hardly have been a more influential twentieth-century philosophical essay than Elizabeth Anscombe’s ‘Modern moral philosophy’, in which she condemned the prevailing and competing ethics of duty and utility of her day and urged moral philosophers to abandon the search for any general conception of ‘morality’ in favour of return to Aristotle’s more particular focus on virtue and virtues as powers or qualities of good human character. While moral philosophers have not been slow to rally to this banner—with timely and useful attention to a wide range of character virtues—it was inevitable that moral educationalists would also soon turn towards understanding virtuous character to be a prime if not main concern of moral education. However, without denying that recent moral philosophical attention to virtue and virtues has been worthwhile, it is crucial to appreciate that in and of themselves such qualities mostly fall short of moral status and value and that some independent criterion of the moral cannot, as Anscombe recommended, be renounced. In this spirit, the present paper also attempts to comprehend such moral and educational significance by reference to interlinked concepts of love, knowledge and justice.

REPRESENTATION OF LOVE IN THE GODFATHER

Research done in Italian prisons showed that the convicted mafia members exhibited significant antisocial traits but their capacity for emotional connection is higher than other imprisoned offenders in Italy. In another research, Schimmenti (2014) concluded that mafioso is more sensitive, family orientated, and less selfish than other murderers. In popular culture particularly in movies, mafioso is portrayed as callous and remorseless. Knowing that they can have emotional relationships, this study analyzes the types of love that are revealed in 'The Godfather', a mob movie that was nominated for 28 Oscars and won 9. The Ancient Greek has four different words for love: Agape, Eros, Philia, and Storge. This concept of love is popularized by CS Lewis and will be used as the basis of analysis. This research focused on the main character, Michael Corleone, and examined which type of love he expressed and to whom it poured out: His own family or his mafia family. The movie portrayed that Michael was only capable of loving his father and his daughter. He could express Storge yet was unable to have affection towards his wife (Eros) thus automatically did not have the capacity to love unconditionally (Agape). He also had a hard time to have close relationship with anyone and did not love his brothers or sister, either (Philia).

We Fall In Love With People We Can’t Have: Patah Hati dalam teks Syair Surat Kirim Kepada Perempuan

Frederick Clark Prescott (1922) in his book entitled The Poetic Mind states that the values contained in poetry have good therapeutic elements for troubled souls. Poetry as a literary work is believed to have elements of healing for troubled souls. One of the healing methods is by using the medium of poetry, which is known as Psychopoetry or poetry therapy. This study aims to reveal the concept of love without end or the popular concept of we fall in love with people we can't have which is contained in the text of the Syair Surat Kirim Kepada Perempuan, which is analyzed using poetry therapy studies. There are two methods used in this study, namely the philological method and the qualitative descriptive method. The philological method needs to be carried out considering that the object of this research is classical Malay literary texts. After interpreting the object, data collection uses a qualitative descriptive method. After the data has been collected, an analysis of the data is carried out using descriptive analytic methods. The result of this study is that the elements of writing poetry as a therapy for healing a wounded soul are found in the SSKKP text. Apart from that, the SSKKP text also fulfills the crucial elements of using poetry therapy to heal wounded souls.

Loving in Consensual Non-Monogamies: Challenging the Validity of Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale

In recent decades, Consensual Non-Monogamies—and polyamory, in particular—have increased in popularity, diversifying the panorama of intimacies stretching far beyond the monogamous heterosexual couple. Today, CNMs constitute an interesting subject of study, worthy of attention both theoretically and empirically. However, most of the psychometric tools developed to study the concept of love were not developed specifically for this type of relationships. One of the most commonly used of these tools is Sternberg’s Triangular Love Scale (STLS), which measures love as a function of three main components: Intimacy, Passion, and Decision/Commitment. Although STLS is widely used in social and psychological research and has been applied to various populations, it has never been used to measure love in CNMs. This article discusses the results of a questionnaire based on STLS administered to 558 individuals from 33 different countries. At the time of completing the questionnaire, each respondent had at least two sexual and/or romantic relationships with the consent of all of those involved. While STLS is validated in studies of people in monogamous relationships, confirmatory factor analysis suggests that it is not an appropriate tool for our sample of consensually non-monogamous individuals. This article seeks to explain this finding using qualitative data from an earlier study exploring how people who engage in forms of consensual non-monogamy define love and relationships.

Examining the Role of Social Media Marketing on Brand Love and Its Impact on Brand Centrality: The Study of Local Fashion Brands for the Millennials

Purpose: Local fashion brands are an important issue for millennial consumers. To create their love of local fashion brands, social media marketing is necessary. The study also examines brand love's effects on local fashion brands' centrality. This study also investigates brand love and centrality’s impact on the repurchase intention. Design/ Methodology/Approach: The data were taken using survey methods with questionnaires developed by previous researchers. A partial least squares regression was used to test the hypotheses. Findings: This study shows that social media marketing can create conditions for consumers to develop brand love, but brand love still needs to be able to develop brand centrality. This study also shows that although brand love has yet to create brand centrality, the concept of brand love can influence the repurchase intention. At the same time, brand centrality also affects the repurchase intention. Originality/value: This is the first study analyzing millennials’ brand love toward fashion clothing brands and the analysis of the influence of social media marketing on brand love and its impact on brand centrality.

Concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, VIRTUE in the Artistic World of A. Zhid (Based on the Material of A. Gide's Novels "The Narrow Gate" and "Pastoral Symphony"

The subject of the research is the novels of the French writer Andre Gide "The Narrow Gate" and "The Pastoral Symphony". The specificity of the expression of the author's thought in these stories through conceptual antinomies is noted, as a result of which the study of the concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, VIRTUE is actualized. The semantic content of the stated concepts is analyzed, which is carried out on the basis of their definitions in dictionaries and biblical texts. Their representatives are observed, creating a semantic field of the concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, VIRTUE, introduced by the author into the composition and plot of works and representing the author's interpretation. On the basis of the revealed meanings and antinomy of these basic concepts for every Christian, their function in the stories is revealed. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that the work of A. Zhid from the point of view of the use of concepts is insufficiently studied. The main conclusions of the study are the following. The concepts of BLINDNESS, LOVE, and VIRTUE have a traditional semantic fullness that has developed in centuries-old Christian discourse, but the writer demonstrates the displacement of their evangelical content due to the emergence of new interpretations associated with the spiritual crisis of society. With the help of the introduction of these antinomic concepts into the story, the writer organizes the artistic space of works: they determine the choice of confessional genre, saturation of stories with allusions, reminiscences and intertexts from biblical texts, the use of these concepts to organize the implicitness and explicitness of the narrative. Concepts perform the functions of characterization of heroes, epochs and expression of the author's position.

Whom Does God Love?

The hadith control the daily lives of Muslims. For Christians seeking to engage with Muslims, understanding the hadith is indispensable. This article investigates, “Whom does God love according to the Bible and the hadith?” Comparative studies exist for the Bible and the Qur’an but less for the hadith. This study scrutinizes what the Bible and hadith, respectively, mean by divine love. First, I describe divine love in the Bible and, second, in the main Sunni hadith collections. I study Allah’s love for himself, for named individuals, and requests for Allah’s love, and next, I investigate earning Allah’s love, deeds that earn Allah’s love, and Allah’s love for certain character qualities. Lastly, I examine the implications of divine love by addressing the following questions: How does the conception of divine love determine human love? What are the implications of this study for engagement with Muslims?

Studying the Concept of Love in Language Education:

Love is a universal emotion and phenomenon. Despite its importance, this concept has notbeen the focus of studies in language education, with a few exceptions. This reticence anduneasiness in researching love in academia and in education is considered to be related tomisconceptions about love that equate it only to intimate relationships and family matters(PATIENCE, 2008), as well as exclusively to romantic love (VINCENT, 2010). In this paper,I review some international studies that have focused on the concept of love in educationfrom a critical perspective. In order to do that, I first review the crisis we are living today,which makes it ever more important to talk about love. Next, I discuss six studies whichinvestigated the concept of love within the critical approach (in the North Americancontext). I conclude suggesting reflections and implications for practice and summarizingthe main elements of a critical revolutionary love approach to language teacher educationand language learning and teaching.

Mobile intimacies? Uncertainty, ambivalence and fluidity in the intimate practices of dating app users in Germany and the UK

Research on dating app practices has drawn on a dichotomous conception of love and sex, with users viewed as seeking either casual sex or a committed relationship. Drawing on qualitative interview data with dating app users in Germany and the UK, our analysis suggests the that the love/sex dichotomy fails to fully account for participants’ experiences. We argue that rather than imposing a normative framework, we should recognise the potentiality of movement and openness in app-based dating practices. We also challenge the critique of dating apps as entirely transactional, and instead argue that the emergence of what we identify as ‘mobile’ intimate practices demonstrate the diverse forms that intimacies can take within different relationships.

“They are. Bilingual.”: Manifestations of bilanguaging love in a dual language bilingual classroom

ABSTRACT Translanguaging, the fluid and dynamic language practices of bilinguals, reimagines language learning and offers the possibility of a more equitable academic experience for active bilingual students of Color, which was the impetus for our inquiry. This article presents the findings of an ethnographic study conducted in a second-grade dual-language classroom that focused on how bilanguaging love is manifested through the perspectives and approaches to translanguaging of bilingual students and their bilingual teacher. Drawing on the concepts of translanguaging and bilanguaging love, we present two main findings: (1) Generative translanguaging perspectives, and (2) Confronting tensions with and through translanguaging. The findings have important implications for translanguaging implementation in bilingual spaces and recognizing that the work involved in this approach is sustained by love for and with bilingual students and communities of Color.

Indonesia's Critical View on Public Sector Accounting: Insights from M Nastir's Thought

Purpose — This research attempts to introduce a typical Indonesian critical thought, M. Natsir's perspective, which can be used to study public sector accounting. Design/methodology/approach-- This study used the narrative literature review method. This article then compiled an outline of M Natsir's critical methodology, which focuses on the emancipatory revolution based on the spirit of Islamic values and continues to prioritize democracy and national unity. It hopes the methodology can construct the [financial] state management to align with the nation's interests. Findings — The results of this study indicate that the development of paradigmatic studies in the field of accounting opens great opportunities to complete, perfect, and even present concepts in new accounting models that are in line with the needs of the ages, as shown in this article, which borrows the thoughts of M Natsir. This reflection serves as a methodological basis to present the concept of an emancipatory revolution based on the spirit of Islam and the love for motherland values growing within Indonesian society. Therefore, people's conceptions of love for material things can be oriented in a more beneficial direction for society. It can also construct a country's best financial management method. Practical implications — This research encourages the presence of public sector accounting studies without forgetting the context of local values, love of country, and Islamic spirit in the form of good state financial management. Originality/value—This research framework critiques the concept and practice of NPM and its accrual accounting as a derivative of neoliberal ideology. It also examines the roots of economic policies that are not oriented towards the interests of the people in general. Using this proposed framework, it is hoped that the spirit of love for the motherland and the spirit of Islam can be felt in the state's financial accounting and management.

Vietnamese Concepts of Love Through Idioms: A Conceptual Metaphor Approach

Love (romantic love) is an abstract concept that requires explanation. In addition to the universality of the concept, each nation has their own constructs of love, which can be expressed through idioms. Idioms represent special linguistic units because they contain cultural characteristics and national views. Idioms also reflect the colour and variety of human social activities and thus play an important role in the linguistic ontologisation of love. This paper aims to explore the Vietnamese concepts of love through idioms from a cognitive linguistic perspective. Conceptual metaphor theory (introduced by Lakoff & Johnson, 1980/2003) is a tool that allows the abstract target domain (LOVE) to be understood through more tangible source domains. To collect the data, a hand search of Vietnamese idiom dictionaries was conducted to establish a corpus of 126 entries, from which nine common conceptual metaphors were identified. Results from this study show that Vietnamese people regard LOVE as a predestined fate, in which the beauty of love in conjunction with nostalgia, passion, compatibility and closeness is praised, faithfulness in love is appreciated and revered, and inappropriate relationships and betrayal in love are opposed and condemned.

Accomplissement de l’amour, mort de l’amour? Le paradoxe amoureux et l’amour courtois. Par Rüdiger Schnell. Traduction par Sandra Debot

This book is an incisive intervention into the nature of what came to be called, in the late nineteenth century, courtly love. Rather than confronting the whole shaky apparatus of that phenomenon, Rüdiger Schnell sets out to examine just one crucial aspect: does desire die after sexual contact, and is desire therefore dependent upon non-satisfaction? Beginning with Leo Spitzer’s L’Amour lointain de Jaufré Rudel et le sens de la poésie des troubadours (Chapel Hill, NC: University of North Carolina Press, 1944), a study so foundational that it set the terms for what has been the standard reading of the troubadour canso ever since, Schnell sets out to critique the assertion that achievement of sexual satisfaction in itself annihilates desire. Such a narrow focus is both the principal virtue of the study and its ultimate limitation. With painstaking attention to every aspect of the question — including generic considerations (tensos and partimens), the nature of possession and of obstacles, and socio-economic considerations — and in setting the work out like a scientific study, Schnell undermines convincingly Spitzer’s contention that a ‘paradoxe amoureux’ is at the base of the troubadours’ (and minnesingers’) conception of love and desire. Moving from ancient and medieval philosophy to the texts of individual poets, Schnell systematically demolishes what he considers the false reading of the troubadour cansos as being static, unchanging, and single-minded in their obsession with the incompatibility of love and sex. One of the great pleasures of reading this study is the open approach the author takes to recent studies of the corpus and his inclusion of the works of scholars outside the German/French/Italian sphere. He is attentive to the consideration of time and subjective time in different genres; insistent that no one genre can be seen as the porte-parole of a supposedly unified troubadour discourse; intent on defending a second paradox ‘performatif’, one that emerges through performance and interaction; and he produces evidence that counter-examples to the ‘paradoxe amoureux’ thesis far outweigh the evidence of the relatively few songs, at least in terms of percentage, which have bolstered such an overweening theory. As Schnell says, singing of personal dramas of unrequited love before an audience represents, above all else, the ‘autoprésentation d’un groupe social se comprenant comme l’élite et non de la traduction littéraire des états psychiques individuels des troubadours’ (p. 34). Yes and no, I would respond, to this observation and to the study as a whole. Admirable in conception and execution, it succeeds in its narrower goals but fails to go far enough to stand as the definitive statement that I think Schnell might have intended. While the point is proven beyond doubt, the proof itself, dependent as it is upon the presence/non-presence of imagined ladies, the values of an elite audience, and the maintenance of a sense of community, indicates the potential of a further deconstruction of the concept of courtly love, one that would emphasize a community of poet-musicians, working within the circumscribed arena of public taste, alluding to a subtext of secrecy, self-preservation, and self-advancement, and one that might have little to do, finally, with the petty dissatisfactions of heterosexual coupling.

THE PHENOMENOLOGY OF LOVE RELATIONSHIPS IN THE CONTEXT OF C.G. JUNG’S THEORY

The topic of love, despite the rich phenomenology of this phenomenon, is poorly studied. This article examines only one aspect of the concept of love, namely love between a man and a woman. An attempt is made to explain this phenomenon from the standpoint of the theory of C.G. Jung who believed that the base of the human psyche was a subconscious mind that consisted of archetypes. Archetypes are the most ancient representations of the most significant phenomena of the external and internal world. The article summarises scientific data, descriptions of the phenomenon of love in fictional literature and simple analysis of life experiences such as my own, as well as other people’s. The hypothesis about the psychological mechanisms of the emergence of love between a man and a woman is substantiated. The proposed hypothesis is based on the theory of C.G. Jung about archetypes as unconscious contents of the human psyche. In order to substantiate this hypothesis, works of fiction are considered, examples from the practice of psychologists and the personal life of people are given. As a result, conclusions were drawn that the source of love is not outside, but inside a person, the need to love is inherent to one degree or another in every person (and, probably, in every living being); the trigger that starts the processes of falling in love are certain events that find an emotional response in a person who is psychologically ready for a relationship of love; the projection (transfer, in Jung's words) of the content of the corresponding archetype onto another person is often carried out unconsciously and leads to disappointment in love relationships. Separately, cases of a person's awareness of their gender as not coinciding with the biological characteristics of sex are considered. It can be assumed that intersex variations are echoes of the distant past, a regression to that period of evolutionary development, when hermaphroditism was observed in creatures preceding the appearance of the species homo sapiens. It is no coincidence that C.G. Jung, an adherent of the idea of evolutionary-biological and socio-historical development of mankind, considers the archetype of “love” as consisting of two “halves” - Anima (feminine) and Animus (masculine), - and available both in men and in women. But at the biopsychological level, hermaphroditism makes itself felt: in women, along with the feminine, the masculine principle is archetypally represented, and in men, along with the masculine, the feminine. In love, the archetypal components of gender are actualized in men and women in different ways: in cases of uncomplicated (“traditional”) gender identification, the Animus (her idea-image of a Man) is activated in a woman, and in men - Anima (his idea-image of a Woman), but with all possible individual differences.

Love of Bhavabhūti and its Present Consequence in Indian Perspective: A Literary Study

Bhavabhūti is one of the greatest playwrights in the field of Sanskrit literature. His three plays are- ⅰ) Uttararāmcaritam. ⅱ) Mahābircaritam and ⅲ) Mālatimādhavam. His thought of love has been expressed in these plays and bears wide range of implication to affect modern society a lot. Love is not only a matter of joy but is full of pathos also. Love is a matter which is not limited within the love of two opposite sex or corporeal body. The very thought of love of Bhavabhūti’s Uttararāmacaritam crosses the narrow boundary of love and helps two develop social benevolent concept of love. In his concept or thought of love, there we see an affection of parent and children, brotherhood, respectful love for common people or subjects and towards the other elements of nature irrespective of flora and fauna. Nevertheless, full with heroic deeds the Mahāvīracaritam is stuffed with only love. But the love of Rāma and Sītā, Lakṣmaṇa and Urmilā has been described beautifully. In the Mālatimādhabam amorous love affair has been highlighted among young characters with full of passion, curiosity, desire, wanting etc. Corporeal, social, natural and universal love are being embedded in the writings of Bhavabhūti.
