“Live the Present Moment!”—Developing the 100-I-K Scale to Examine the Relationship Between Mindfulness and Stoic Attitude

ObjectivesThis study aimed to analyze the relationship between mindfulness and Stoic attitudes by exploring their unexamined similarities. Moreover, it sought to develop a new tool for assessing Stoic attitudes with a broader scope than previous measures.MethodA total of 437 individuals participated in the initial survey, and 347 were re-surveyed after 2 weeks. Participants completed the newly developed 100-I-K questionnaire and an additional scale to measure mindfulness. The follow-up sample completed the 100-I-K scale, Freiburg Mindfulness Inventory, Pathak-Wieten Stoicism Ideology Scale, and a control question. The participants were recruited through an online Computer Assisted Web Interviewing survey panel as a representative sample.ResultsA strong positive correlation was found between mindfulness and Stoic attitude in both the first (r = 0.65) and second (r = 0.63) measurements. A weak, yet statistically significant relationship was observed between 100-I-K scores and understanding of the Stoicism ideology in the first measurement (r = 0.19) and follow-up sample (r = 0.21). Moreover, Stoic attitude correlated with subjective declarations of adopting Stoic attitudes (r = − 0.19 and r = − 0.18 in both samples).ConclusionsThe results confirmed the relationship between Stoic attitudes and mindfulness, suggesting similarities between Eastern and Western traditions. The 100-I-K questionnaire needs further development; however, it demonstrated the potential to assess the overall Stoic attitude. The relationship between mindfulness and Stoic attitudes remains stable over time.PreregistrationThis study is not preregistered.

The Importance Of Character Education In Instilling Pancasila Values For Millennial Generation

Millennial generation as a new generation that emerges as a pioneer of information technology development in the era of 4.0. They are called the millennial generation because they were born at the end of the 20th century (between 1990 and 2001). The millennial generation, living in the millennium era, is heavily influenced by lifestyles shaped by social media as a societal trend in the 21st century. Many potential social vulnerabilities will arise due to cultural and behavioral changes that occur in the millennium era. The widespread use of smartphones, internet access, and social media today enables quick and easy access to information, which has its benefits and advantages, but also impacts by facilitating access to negative content that affects behavior not in line with the culture and noble norms of the Indonesian nation. Character education, as a model of education that strengthens the understanding of Pancasila ideology, is essential in fortifying and equipping the millennial generation. With systematically implemented character education, it is hoped to maintain attitudes and behaviors so that they always preserve the customs, cultural heritage, and noble values of the Indonesian nation in facing the massive technological developments in the current millennium era.

“Curriculum-based or ideology-based”: An action research on China's curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness education in second language writing teaching: An activity theory perspective

This study addresses the prevalent challenges in curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness education specifically focusing on the issues of insufficient understanding and exploration of curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness elements by Chinese college teachers in the use of second language writing textbooks, as well as the monotonous teaching activities and content models. In response to these challenges, a two-cycle action research was conducted to integrate second language writing teaching into curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness education within the framework of Activity Theory. Through teacher observations, interviews, and reflections from both teachers and students, findings were found that: 1) teachers should pay attention to practicing the compilation principles and concepts of textbook compilers, and deeply explore the ideological and political elements of unit themes and contents according to their principles and concepts; 2) the construction of curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness community for similar courses, especially the construction of virtual community, is the urgent need for teachers, and is also an effective way to select ideological and political materials; 3) the construction of curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness courses should be implemented in all dimensions of professional teaching with planning, forming a systematic teaching mode of curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness courses. The findings of this research offer valuable insights into the integration of foreign language education and curriculum-based ideology and virtuous awareness education, with the overarching goal of fostering value shaping, ability building, and knowledge imparting.

On the Exploration and Practice of the Anti-Fraud Work System of College Students under the Perspective of “Three-Fully Education” —— Take Shenzhen Polytechnic University as an Example

In recent years, college students have suffered from frequent Internet fraud incidents. Criminals make use of students’ vanity, petty profit, and simple mentality, taking a variety of fraud means, resulting in some students bearing huge property losses and mental pressure. Telecom fraud has gradually evolved into a serious social problem, and now domestic colleges and universities have become the hardest hit areas of telecom network fraud, and many problems exposed behind it deserve our deep reflection. The paper has analyzed college students’ telecom fraud types and situation, the characteristics of telecom fraud, called on the concept of “three-fully education”, which explores the problem by “fully improving ideological understanding”, “fully accurate classification management,” “fully intensifying governance” to fight fraud work, and improve college students’ telecom fraud awareness and self-protection ability.

Language ideologies and language teaching in the global world: An introduction to the special issue

Aims: This special issue delves into language ideologies shaping multilingual education, aiming to unravel their impact on pedagogical practices and emergent multilinguals. By presenting empirical studies and critical analyses, the collection seeks to foster a nuanced understanding of language ideologies in diverse educational contexts. Approach: This guest editorial introduces language ideology as a lens, guiding an exploration of its manifestations in educational settings. Ten papers, spanning diverse linguistic landscapes, offer a comprehensive examination of language ideologies through varied methodologies. From scrutinizing teacher objections to linguistic pluralism to dissecting bilingual kindergarteners’ experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic, the collection employs qualitative research, case studies, and critical reviews to critically engage with language ideologies in global language education. Conclusion: The special issue concludes by emphasizing the critical role of language ideologies in shaping educational landscapes and influencing emergent multilinguals’ experiences. Authors underscore the need for macro-level research, recommending a decolonial lens to address inequalities perpetuated by monoglossic practices. The collection advocates for inclusive spaces and challenges educators to reflect on their pedagogies, promoting a multilingual-as-a-resource orientation. By extending the scope beyond individual classrooms and examining sociopolitical and economic dimensions, the special issue contributes to ongoing efforts to reframe language ideologies and advance inclusivity in multilingual education. Originality: This special issue stands out for its originality in dissecting language ideologies through diverse lenses, spanning linguistic, sociocultural, and pedagogical dimensions. Notably, studies like Chang-Bacon and colleagues’ examination of objections to linguistic pluralism and Mendoza’s exploration of stylization in English-medium instruction enrich the discourse. The collection encourages scholars to engage with plurilingualism as a theoretically robust alternative to late translanguaging theory, promoting empirical grounding and fostering a deeper understanding of language ideologies.

Teacher emotions, identity, and speakerhood status in narratives of Filipino JET Assistant Language Teachers (ALT)

This paper explores the accounts of four Filipino ALTs in teacher narratives as intertwined in their teacher emotions, identities, and practices to help understand modern changes in the understanding of the speakerhood status of traditionally perceived NNESTs in Japan and the globalized world using Norton’s (2013) concept of teacher identity. Primary data were collected from an initial survey questionnaire and semi-structured online interviews from four (4) ALTs. Guided by the narrative approach (Barkhuizen, 2008), we learned that Filipino ALTs’ identities are shifting and in flux as they navigate their emotions about their speakerhood status as ALTs in Japan. Participants responded with varying depictions of their imagined native (NES) and nonnative speakers (NNEST), specifying cultural, linguistic, and physical differences. Disappointment and frustration emerged as teacher emotions from external factors rather than speakerhood status. Moreover, feelings of happiness and inferiority, instead, were perceived to be associated with their speakerhood status. Data from the interviews show that their anxieties and inferiority related more to others' labeling of them as native speakers and the expectations of having to live up to the ideals of the NES. The data supports speakerhood status as a spectrum rather than a discrete category, with the participants’ teacher identities constantly shifting and in flux. The study shows that Filipino ALTs’ teacher emotions, as they relate to their communities, classroom policies, and shifting teacher identities, show and lead to their desire to invest and reinvest in their teaching practice and possibly signal shifts in teachers’ understanding of teacher ideologies.

Islamic Ideology and the Role of Islamic Universities in Fostering Pluralism in Society

The purpose of this study is to identify and describe Islamic ideology and the role of Islamic universities in ostering pluralism in society. Participants in the study were Islamic Universities in Indonesia. The research design used is a descriptive antitative approach. Data collection techniques were carried out by means of observation, questionnaires, and documentation using multiple regression analysis. The population in this study is Islamic Universities in Indonesia, as for the sample used in this study as many as 115 respondents. The research was conducted at Islamic Universities with the reasons for the need for observation and knowledge as a reference to Islamic Ideology and the Role of Islamic Universities in Fostering Pluralism in Society. This research method also combines with qualitative research to see the Islamic perspective in the influence of these three variables. Quantitatively, the findings reveal that Islamic ideology and Islamic universities have a positive and significant impact on pluralism in Indonesian society. It can be described that the higher the understanding of Islamic ideology and the role of Islamic universities, the higher the level of pluralism in society in Indonesia. Qualitatively, it was found that, based on the results of observations and interviews with respondents, there is an opinion that the importance of Islamic ideology and the role of Islamic religious universities in influencing the socio-religious life in the community around universities, is real, because the context of Tri Dharma in higher education is a must to be applied in the community and all society members. The role of universities is very important considering the confusion of public understanding related to pluralism. Through education, research and community service, people will be more enlightened about the importance of maintaining tolerance, be it religion, nation and state as a whole.

Against Latin American Regionalisms: The 1927 Brussels Congress and the Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas

AbstractThis article examines the encounter of activists from the Anti-Imperialist League of the Americas (LADLA) with African, African American, and Asian anticolonial intellectuals through the League Against Imperialism (LAI), founded at the 1927 Brussels Congress. Drawing from LADLA’s newspaper El Libertador, letters from LADLA leaders, and speeches and resolutions in the LAI archive, it studies how exchanges begun in Brussels influenced debates in radical circles in the Americas. The article builds on extant scholarship and makes two primary interventions. First, it argues that a closer look at LADLA’s participation in the LAI shifts the traditional understanding of interwar Latin American regionalist ideologies, which LADLA rejected in favor of drawing connections to anti-imperialist movements around the world. Second, it argues that the exchange in Brussels influenced LADLA to eventually expand its initial focus on Indigenous struggles to think more critically about Black communities, including Black migrant labor, in political organizing.

Re-visiting the Discursive Power of Chinas Generation Z: A Perspective on the Rise of New Populism in China Through Self-Media

While the authoritarian rule of China and its media censorship have been extensively researched, the emergence of self-media has introduced a dynamic new platform for political engagement, especially among Generation Z. This paper presents an innovative research perspective, examining the transformative role of self-media in reshaping and fragmenting discursive power, and its subsequent influence on the development of populism in China. It analyzes the Partys degree of tolerance towards self-media within its overarching media regulation policies, and studies how this emergent public sphere of politics catalyzed the transformation of populism along with broad discussions and critiques of societal issues. Focusing on Generation Zs extensive use of self-media for political engagement, the paper underscores the younger generations disillusionment with the current state of media-driven populism under the Party's regime. The paper highlights how the lack of discursive power has contributed to an excessive proliferation of nationalism, formalism, and disparities in wealth distribution. The study offers valuable insights for future research on discursive power in authoritarian settings and stimulates discourse on how self-media simultaneously constructs and deconstructs the frameworks and understanding of populist ideologies.

The South Korean Military Ideological Complex: Transcendent Nationalism in Military Moral Education

Abstract Since its inception, the South Korean military, like an Althusserian ideological state apparatus, has served to articulate and disseminate state ideology through what is called the military moral education or ideological training program (chŏngsin or chŏnghun kyoyuk), which instructed soldiers in Korean history, society, and politics. A close reading of moral education textbooks from the Syngman Rhee (1948–60) and Park Chung Hee (1961–79) eras thus shows the content and themes of state ideology, which went beyond simple anti-communism and can instead be summed up as “transcendent nationalism”: a potent, fascistic mixture of ethnic nationalism, anti-communism, and anti-liberal collectivism that emphasized individual loyalty and sacrifice to the supreme representative of the Korean nation, the South Korean state. As part of a larger state ideological complex and as an ideological apparatus in its own right, the military moral education program should be examined to offer a better understanding of South Korean ideology and political discourse and the rise of anti-communist nationalist ideological hegemony during the Cold War. This large-scale effort to indoctrinate South Korean men, in which military moral education played a crucial part, arguably contributed to a significant degree of societal consent behind the Park Chung Hee regime.

Зображення жінки в мистецтві як елемент радянської ідеології (героїня- працівниця, мати-героїня, жінка в іміджі соціалістичного реалізму) в добу «відлиги» та «застою»

In the article, the authors investigated and analyzed the aspect of the depiction of women in art during the "thaw" and "stagnation" as a key element of the Soviet ideology of those times. The purpose of the article is to study the role of heroine-worker, mother-heroine, and modern woman in the image of socialist realism. Based on this, the authors drew attention to their symbolic significance in forming ideological concepts and social values in this period. The methodological basis of the research is the use of the principles of historicism, systematicity, and comprehensiveness, as well as a combination of problem-chronological methods of induction and deduction. The scientific novelty. The authors make an essential contribution to understanding the role and portrayal of women in Soviet art during the periods of "thaw" and "stagnation". By analyzing heroine-workers, heroine-mothers, and modern women in the context of socialist realism, the article highlights new aspects of their symbolic significance, which contributes to expanding the understanding of Soviet ideology and influencing the perception of the role of women in society. Conclusions. Under the influence of Soviet ideology and communist propaganda, the changed image of a woman was like an allegory of the Motherland, contributing to educating patriotism and love for the native land and the entire Soviet state and socialist society, especially in the younger generation. The result of this process came to be completely new aspects in the perception of the role of women, which were widely reflected in works of art and testified to the modification of traditional stereotypes and social roles in the Soviet socialist society. Women's participation in various spheres of the Soviet economy, supported by ideological influence, was reflected in their new image in art, positively highlighting various aspects of their daily lives and roles in a socialist society.

Are religion metaphors anti‑revolutionary?

Abstract This paper investigates the socio-political implications of sceptical metaphors in French discourse about the climate crisis. Existing literature has demonstrated the prevalence of religion metaphors in English sceptical discourse. Yet, in France, religious references in language use are limited as such references have been considered “anti-revolutionary” since the storming of the Bastille, in 1789. I thus ask to what extent sceptical metaphors in French climate crisis discourse differ from English sceptical metaphors. To this aim, I conduct a corpus-based study relying on texts published in the extreme-right wing French newspaper “Valeurs Actuelles”. The metaphors identified in this corpus are analysed so as to uncover the mini-narratives related to sceptical metaphor scenarios. Consistent with existing literature, the analysis establishes the prevalence of the religion scenario. However, the research highlights significant argumentative exploitations: metaphor users define the source concept according to cultural viewpoints on religion and ideological understanding of the religious lexicon. I demonstrate that religion metaphors prevail because associated source concepts (environmentalism as islam) are not conceived as being part of the domain of religion, according to these (extreme-right-wing) discourse producers.

Disentangling the nuances of diversity ideologies.

Minoritized racial groups typically report greater psychological engagement and safety in contexts that endorse multiculturalism rather than colorblindness. However, organizational statements often contain multiple (sub)components of these ideologies. This research broadens our understanding of diversity ideologies in the real-world by: (1) mapping out the content of real-world organizational diversity ideologies, (2) identifying how different components tend to cluster in real-world statements, and (3) presenting these statements to minoritized group members (Study 2) to test how these individual components and clusters are perceived (e.g., company interest, value fit). 100 US university statements and 248 Fortune 500 company statements were content coded, and 237 racially minoritized participants (Mage = 28.1; 51.5% female; 48.5% male) rated their psychological perceptions of the Fortune 500 statements. While universities most commonly frame diversity ideologies in terms of value-in-equality, companies focus more on value-in-individual differences. Diversity rationales also differ between organizations, with universities focusing on the moral and business cases almost equally, but companies focusing on the business case substantially more. Results also offered preliminary evidence that minoritized racial group members reported a greater sense of their values fitting those of the organization when considering organizations that valued individual and group differences. These are some of the first studies to provide a nuanced examination of the components and clusters of diversity ideologies that real-world organizations are using, ultimately with implications for how we move forward in studying diversity ideologies (to better reflect reality) and redesigning them to encourage more diverse and inclusive organizations.

UNPACKING RACIOLINGUISTIC IDEOLOGY IN YOUNG ADULT FICTION: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF NOVEL “FRONT DESK” BY KELLY YANG

Abstract 
 This study examines the representation of raciolinguistic ideologies in Young Adult Fiction, with a particular focus on Kelly Yang's novel "Front Desk." The novel, which was published in 2018, serves as a prism through which to examine the interaction between race and language. Raciolinguistic ideologies, as described by Rosa and Flores, pertain to the complex interplay between race and language and how it is actively used to establish and perpetuate social hierarchies and inequalities. This study will use textual analysis to find and examine the linguistic and narrative mechanisms used in "Front Desk" to express and interrogate these raciolinguistic ideologies. The textual analysis results reveal unique linguistic techniques used in "Front Desk," offering light on how characters navigate and negotiate language in connection to their racial identities. The novel's narrative depictions quietly establish and perpetuate racial hierarchies, providing nuanced insights into how language contributes to these social constructions. The research clarifies the novel's portrayal of the progression of individuals' language practices in relation to their racial identities through an examination of character development, providing a greater understanding of raciolinguistic ideologies in narrative form.

‘There is No Direct Evidence of Anything’

In this essay, we track back and forth between Lauren Berlant’s and Raymond Williams’ work to assemble a purposefully compact genealogy of mediation that also pays attention to how mediation intersects with and often redraws many taken-for-granted understandings of affect, ideology, aesthetics and materialism. We explore how, for Berlant and Williams, mediation requires a suspension or dislodging of direct cause and effect relations in favour of an intuitive (and conjectural) analytics of the ongoing overdeterminations that circulate through and about any particular affective/historical conjuncture. Reckoning with mediation has a profound impact too on our practices of writing and theorising – as critical-creative impulses, drawn from the intertwining rhythms of experience/experiment, emerge from the changing yet precise situations of the ordinary day-to-day. We argue that such a conceptualisation of mediation offers a productive means for attuning to and transforming the capacities of intellectual work, media/digital culture, and everyday life from within the midst of a continua of transformation.
