Európai Unió – a beteljesületlen remény?

After two decades of EU membership, a majority of the Hungarian public still supports membership. However, reflecting intense governmental influencing in terms of communication and policies alike, the previously negligible euroskepticism has benn gaining substantial ground. Following a different path from what ‘Brussels’ aims at, has become part and parcel of good manners nowadays. The round anniversary of Hungary’s EU accession allows for a strategic rethinking of pluses and minuses of the road taken. Finally, I contemplate where the line of regular confrontation with the Union may lead us.

A Pragmatic Social Verbal Project: Character Language for the National Harmony

This article has explored use of the Indonesian language pragmatically within its related theories, and formulated the so-called character language for the national harmony. This descriptive qualitative research employed three main methods, i.e. observation, literature review, and auto-expert judgments and applied two types of assumptions in the development of a new theory, i.e. the empirically logical assumptions and the theoretically critical assumptions. The results of actual and potential data under researchers’ observation and the related theories were then analyzed through a coding technique, which consisted of three steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to come to and present a structured form of the project, the distant and the close Indonesian languages as the main aspects of the character language. The project for the national harmony was then visualized and accounted for towards its predicted efficacy or eligible application through a six-phase projection, namely (1) in-family interaction phase, (2) in-classroom teaching-learning process phase, (3) in-school evaluation phase, (4) in-school re-evaluation phase, (5) in-public verification phase, and (6) in-society selection phase. Each phase with all the parties or the agents involved in this social verbal project was described and justified for its efficacy to contribute to the national harmony. Theoretically, this research develops the application of politeness or face-saving paradigm in pragmatics, while empirically, this research aims to encourage safe verbal interactions towards the national harmony, or international harmony to some extent. Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the Indonesian language pragmatically within its related theories, and to formulate the so-called character language for the national harmony. Theoretical Framework: In this pragmatic social verbal project, the Indonesian language is pragmatically formulated into Distant Indonesian Language (DIL) and Close Indonesian Language (CIL). DIL is spoken to superiors or used in the formal setting, while CIL is spoken to close people or used in the informal setting. The formulation of DIL and CIL is based on the theories of negative and positive face, negative and positive politeness strategies, respect and solidarity politeness, and politeness and camaraderie. Meanwhile, the formulation of superiors (and strangers) and close people is based on the theories of types of hearer with the aspects of power and solidarity. Method: This descriptive qualitative research employed three main methods, i.e. observation, literature review, and auto-expert judgments and applied two types of assumptions in the development of a new theory, i.e. the empirically logical assumptions and the theoretically critical assumptions. The results of actual and potential data under researchers’ observation and the related theories were then analyzed through a coding technique, which consisted of three steps: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to come to and present a structured form of the project, the distant and the close Indonesian languages as the main aspects of the character language. Results and Discussion: The project for the national harmony was then visualized and accounted for towards its predicted efficacy or eligible application through a six-phase projection, namely (1) in-family interaction phase, (2) in-classroom teaching-learning process phase, (3) in-school evaluation phase, (4) in-school re-evaluation phase, (5) in-public verification phase, and (6) in-society selection phase. Each phase with all the parties or the agents involved in this social verbal project was described and justified for its efficacy to contribute to the national harmony. Research Implications: Theoretically, this research develops the application of politeness or face-saving paradigm in pragmatics, while empirically, this research aims to encourage safe verbal interactions towards the national harmony, or international harmony to some extent. Originality/Value: This character language project proposition has potential contributions for the (inter)national harmony, among others, as pragmatic behaviors or good manners against hate speech and hoaxes, for a guideline for text interactions in the virtual world, and metaphorically as the clothes that we wear in public or in private, within formal or informal situations.

The First Latin Translation of Li 礼 from the Analects of Confucius: Roman Virtues or Religious Acts?

This article centers around the early translation of the term Li 礼 in the Analects of Confucius (论语). This Latin translation shows that the interpretation of the Confucian term Li 礼 mostly did not include any religious meaning. This article also centers on the personal formation of the Jesuits of that time. Taking Michele Ruggieri as reference, this article details how studies based on the Latin Classics (especially Cicero) provided them with a reference to interpret this term as unrelated to religious worship. When the Jesuits arrived in China, at the end of the Ming dynasty, strong emphasis was given to the proper etiquette towards state officials. This in turn derived from the situation in the imperial court. In this historical environment, the Confucian rites (Li 礼) were interpreted as “good manners”. This article also presents briefly the question of whether for Christians, Li 礼 as a proper social behavior inspired by a particular cultural tradition has any connection with or can be a problem for the rituals of the Christian tradition instituted by Jesus as vehicles of divine grace.

BUDI PEKERTI SEBAGAI PRIORITAS LIFELONG LEARNING DALAM GEGURITAN SALAMPAH LAKU

In general, there are two main mistakes in the world of education today: apathy towards character development or, conversely, a rush towards the divine dimension. In the first error, education, whether overtly or covertly, is separated from the attainment of good character. Education is only aimed at producing superior people who will bring technological progress to society. Even though students do not have adequate manners, if they are smart, they are considered tolerable. On the other hand, even though you have good manners but do not have sufficient intelligence, you are considered unable to contribute to society. Meanwhile, in the second mistake, education is based on rigid dogmas related to divinity. Students are not given the freedom to interpret these dogmas and are only required to follow them. Often, this method only focuses on the abstract world and forgets about real life, including cultivating morals. Moral teachings can actually balance both worldly intelligence and belief in divinity. Through moral teachings, intelligent people with character and religious figures who are far from blind fanaticism can be formed. In Geguritan Salampah Laku, it is stated that complete learning must be pursued throughout life. The priority for successful learning at each stage is an increasingly established character. This type of research is qualitative with a textual approach

Procedures of Islamic legislation against Domestic violence

Domestic violence is indeed one of the most prevalent issues in contemporary society, and its effects are increasingly visible in reality. It requires immediate action to halt this phenomenon and repair the remaining family values in our society. The problems arise between parents and their children, mothers and their children, or between spouses, with children being the most affected. Domestic violence has negative impacts on social life, leading to aggression and isolation in children, which can result in them developing weak personalities as adults. Similarly, women subjected to violence may suffer the same fate. Islamic law rejects violence in all its forms and calls for a gentle, tolerant, and loving approach, adherence to good manners, and consideration of rights and duties. The law prohibits assault, transgression, cruelty, and injustice against others, especially within the family. Islamic teachings are concerned with these issues. Islamic teachings focus on establishing the ideal family based on love, kindness, and compassion, strengthening the relationship between family members because if the family is righteous, so is the society. However, when domestic violence occurs, it contradicts values, morals, and good customs, leading to tragedies, suffering, family disintegration, and loss of rights. Due to its severe danger to both individuals and society, it remains a social challenge. It is widespread in our current reality and cannot be ignored, lest its effects and damages on the security and safety of families and society increase. Therefore, it is necessary to understand its causes and types and to outline methods of treatment and combat, through the perspective of Islamic law derived from the spirit of the Holy Quran and the noble Sunnah. This highlights the importance of this study.
