Problems of Religious Life: Agnostics in Students

The heroes of Indonesian independence fighters have tried hard to seize the rights of our nation's independence in order to get freedom from the invaders and gain recognition from the eyes of the world that Indonesia is an independent and sovereign nation. Indonesia became independent on August 17, 1945 and Indonesia established Pancasila as the state ideology including red and white flag as the state symbol. However, Indonesia needs a national identity and a language that is used for national communication as a sovereign, independent nation. As a result, Indonesian was chosen as the state's identity and as the unifying language on August 18, 1945. The Indonesian nation's identity, Indonesian, plays a significant part in demonstrating Indonesia's presence to the rest of the globe. Indonesian was created prior to independence, despite being declared the state language on August 18, 1945. Specifically, during the second youth congress, which took place on October 28, 1928, and which is also known as the Youth Pledge. Many things in the current globalization era are affected by the passing of time and the effects of globalization. One of them is the threat to the existence of Indonesian, the language that unites us. We communicate in a variety of foreign languages on a regular basis, and many people also combine these languages with Indonesian. As a result, we must preserve the Indonesian language and contribute to its existence. The younger generation should effectively protect the Indonesian language in the age of globalization, as stated in the youth oath.

Srpska ćirilica - izraz srpskog duhovnog bića

The alphabet is an integral part of a nation's culture. The nation creates or accepts it, forming it by its own standards; thus, it is an expression of the spiritual being of the nation creating or accepting it. The Serbian nation has the culture that is more than one millennium old, created on its language and alphabet, mostly and for the longest period of time solely in the Cyrillic. In that manner, the Cyrillic has marked both the spiritual and the national being of Serbia - it has become an integral part of the Serbian nation's identity. The nation and the alphabet stand in a relationship of interaction both in the creation of the alphabet and in the building and preservation of the national identity.

Ćirilica između religije i politike

One of the attributes of the Cyrillic is that it has been exposed to numerous attacks in the aim of particular or total extinction since its creation. Those who are against Christianity are also against the Cyrillic, as the Cyrillic was created because of the expanding Orthodox religion among Slavs. The fight against the Church includes the fight against the Cyrillic. There have been different types of these fights, but they have often had a political background. Therefore, we can say that for centuries the Cyrillic has been the target of different oppressors who tried and are still trying in different ways to destroy the Orthodox-Christian identity of both Serbian and other nations whose existence and survival also depend on their script and language.

A Pilgrim People: No Peace Theology without Peace Ecclesiology

Deep questions of identity are always at play in war and peacemaking, sometimes hidden yet always decisive. Thus, for Christians, peace activism needs peace theology and, indeed, peace theology needs peace ecclesiology. Efforts to transcend classic debates between just war theory and Christian pacifism by developing a just peace ethic will falter if they fail to address more basic questions of how Christians are to sustain a primary loyalty to Jesus Christ in relationship to other identities of family, tribe, nation, and global citizen. Attention to the biblical trajectory of Abrahamic community, the patristic embrace of life in exile, and Vatican II calls for the Church to be the “sacrament of human unity” by recognizing itself as a “pilgrim people” suggests that the Catholic Church can truly be a “peace church” only if it embraces life in diaspora.

Research on the Cultural Program <i>Dancing Millennium </i>from Ritual View of Communication

By taking “Plot + Dance” as the form, and “Chinese dance, Chinese story” as the core, the Dancing Millennium carries the depth of traditional culture and dance art in the contemporary cultural context under the view of diverse and integrated national culture, provides a sacred ritual place for Chinese people of different nationalities but with common beliefs, and jointly constructs the collective memory and cultural identity of the Chinese nation. Based on the ritual view of communication, this paper discusses how Dancing Millennium can create the emotional interaction between the audience and the content of the program on the basis of the innovation of highly cohesive cultural content and entertainment in the immersive field.

Solidarity in Christianity to Foster “Bhineka Tunggal Ika”: A Biblical Analysis of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37

Solidarity is a terminology in the field of sociology that is also used in other fields such as psychology and bioethics. It is an important concept in Christian thought as well. For Emile Durkheim, solidarity both mechanical and organic, is social cohesion based on the same elements such as religion, ethnicity, family, agreement, and common interests. bhineka tunggal ika (Unity in Diversity) as the motto of the Indonesian state must be strived for every citizen including Christians. Without strong solidarity, bhineka tunggal ika will be lost, thus the identity of the Indonesian nation is also in danger of being lost. Indonesia's diversity of religions is manifested in Pancasila with the first precepts Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa. Though Indonesia is a country that recognizes six official religions, the idea of solidarity related to the first precepts is still far from adequate. This article aims to contribute Christian thought on solidarity to foster bhineka tunggal ika by analyzing Luke 10:25-37. This article employed a literature research methodology combined with descriptive qualitative analysis from various recent research data. Biblical analysis includes the essence of Christianity, the concept of solidarity in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament. The examination of Luke 10:25-27 is specifically carried out on several aspects i.e., historical, context, grammatical, and social, especially Christian solidarity and its value in fostering bhineka tunggal ika. Application of this and a conclusion are presented.

Re-envisioning Jewish Identities: Reflections on Contemporary Culture in Israel and the Diaspora by Efraim Sicher

Reviewed by: Re-envisioning Jewish Identities: Reflections on Contemporary Culture in Israel and the Diaspora by Efraim Sicher Eli Lederhendler Efraim Sicher, Re-envisioning Jewish Identities: Reflections on Contemporary Culture in Israel and the Diaspora. Leiden: Brill, 2021. vi + 242 pp. What might the reader anticipate upon encountering Re-envisioning Jewish Identities? The title cues us in, from the outset, that an ongoing process is at stake; that this process is subjective (“re-envisioning” implicates a beholding eye); and that the matrix or object of the process is something inherently imprecise — a set of linked signifiers that are pluralized: “identities.” We are also informed that the scope of the survey will be trans-national, assuming an indefinite sphere of discourse that is mindful of Jewish matters and that is shared (or divided, depending on one’s point of view) within a semantic geo-cultural space: “Israel and the Diaspora.” Each element alluded to in the title is up for grabs, a web of slippery terms and assertions. The reader will be curious to know how the author aims to clear the chaotic foreground enough for us to “see” what he sees in this multi-layered agenda. Sicher has written a deeply contemplative tour d’horizon, the first part of which is presented in the volume under review here. (The second part appears in another new book with the intriguing title, Post-Modern Love in the Contemporary Jewish Imagination, Routledge, 2022). It is, perhaps, due to the separate publication of this initial part that a host of questions are raised for discussion in Re-envisioning Jewish Identities but relatively few conclusions are proffered. Rather, Sicher – who has written extensively on many of the core issues in contemporary Jewish literature — takes the complex discursive issues alluded to above and carefully delineates and references them throughout a series of close readings. The result is at once a meditation on what, if anything, constitutes Jewish literature in our time, and a complaint against the erosion of narrative coherence in the post-modern imagination. The groundwork is set in the first chapter which undertakes a parallel reading of Salman Rushdie’s Midnight’s Children (1981) and Meir Shalev’s Yonah vana’ar (2006; A Pigeon and a Boy, 2007). The discussion revolves, predictably, around the deconstruction of two national narratives of violence and (re)birth, as portrayed and re-envisioned via the troubled lives and conflicted loves of the protagonists. Shalev, like Rushdie before him (an influence that is evoked rather than demonstrated), reflects upon the implacable determining force of the nation in the lives of the novel’s characters. The violent birth in the collective background is related to the undermining of childhood and autonomous selfhood; yet, cunningly, the opposite dynamic is also clearly at stake. In both novels, the decoding of the individual is a decoding of the nation. The narrative impulse in both cases, Efraim Sicher argues, is to detach individuals from their respective national sagas; yet, the result, he claims, is the weakening and even relinquishing of the power of narrative as such — a default byproduct of post-modernism. It is only in the opening passage of the next chapter that Sicher sums up for the reader what, in his view, ties the discussion in the Shalev/Rushdie chapter [End Page 176] to the title and theme of the book: “Shalev rereads the identity of the Jewish nation through his revision of the bible and of history” (23, emphasis added). The substance of this insight is that literary inversions of canonical myths are a way of “perform[ing] identification” (7), despite the fact that they render the past “unstable and untrustworthy” (13). The second chapter, “Sephardism: Alternate Histories of the Americas,” moves us out of the national births of 1947–1948 and into a discussion about writing against the grain of Eurocentric literary traditions. The book thus segues from the quest for individuality against the force of national myths and tragic national dysfunction to a discussion of a counter-myth, the anti-nation, so to speak, in the form of exilic, diasporized, hybridized, nomadic, and subaltern identity paradigms. This is illustrated in the quest to recapture and account for the...

GIVING PRIORITY TO CIVIL LAW IN THE TRIAL: PROBLEMATIC ASPECTS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW IN LITHUANIAN NATIONAL LAW

Relevance of the topic. The sea has always been very important to the culture, identity, history and economic development of nations. The sea is both a way to transport goods and a connection with the people from other countries (Sencila, 2008). Lithuania is a maritime country. The sea has been of great importance to the life of every person since ancient times, but it was just the beginning of the interest in the ocean and that led to the legal regulation of shipping, fishing and other relations. Building the Maritime Law, as law itself, the biggest role was played by Roman law. Even Romanian people understood, that sea and air belong to everybody and could never become someone else’s property. The main problems. The Republic of Lithuania, as a subject of international maritime law, is not much studied and very broad topic. The following tasks: 1. To analyze the sea carrier’s powers and obligations, responsibilities according to the bill of lading. 2. To highlight the most relevant problems of the legal system. 3. To model a possible system efficiency strategy. The aim of the work is to investigate and evaluate the prevailing legal system in order to diagnose the problems of the system for its prognostic effectiveness. The paper concluded: The analysis of using International and Lithuania National legal acts in the situation with the strong international accent is very important in order to build a strong legal country. The novelty is that the Maritime Law is not so much investigated in Lithuania, although the contract examples can be found, but there are few analyzed court decisions highlighting the fundamental differences between Lithuania national and international law. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that it is one of the several scientific works in international, based on valid international legal acts and legal acts of Republic of Lithuania. At the same time, the work focuses on insufficiently explored problems, which include both theoretical part and the analysis of international law practice in the field of control in international Maritime Law. The most important aspect is that the topic under consideration is directly related to the author’s work in logistics. It is not only a theoretical work, but also a practical one, which makes this work unique. As the result – after analyzing the court decision and legal acts of both international and national law, was concluded, that Lithuania court gives priority to national law, that do not have sense in the context of Maritime Law. The used methodology document analysis, information analysis, comparative analysis, logical – analytical methods.

The role of the Ukrainian diaspora in preserving the cultural identity and individuality of the Ukrainian nation during the 1960s and 1970s

The article found that the Ukrainian diaspora was an integral component of Ukrainian ethnic integrity. Numerous public, cultural and educational institutions created by emigrants in their places of residence stood guard over Ukrainian national interests and, despite all obstacles, conducted fruitful cooperation with Ukrainians in the Motherland. In order to preserve and develop the Ukrainian language, representatives of the diaspora paid great attention to the release of the Ukrainian printed word into the world. Due to total censorship in the Ukrainian SSR, Ukrainians abroad contributed to the publication abroad of many Ukrainian works that were banned in Ukraine. By means of international tourism, international student exchange, and world radio broadcasting, contacts between Ukrainian and foreign youth were gradually established, and the spheres of communication expanded. The main task of the Ukrainian diaspora was to preserve the ethnic and cultural identities of the Ukrainian nation, and consolidate the scattered emigration forces for the sole purpose of preparing a political and professional basis for the acquisition of an independent, cathedral Ukrainian state.

Preserving Indonesian Culture in the Digital Age: Implementing Augmented Reality to Address Cultural Appropriation Issue

Abstract—Cultural appropriation is a complex issue that can lead to the loss of a nation's cultural identity. With the widespread adoption of mobile phones in Indonesia, there is an opportunity to use technology, specifically augmented reality (AR). To address this issue, our user-friendly AR app allows users to interact with Indonesian culture in a virtual environment. Through AR technology, users can engage with Indonesian culture in an immersive and fun way. Our target market is the younger generation, and our app provides a user-friendly interface that allows users to scan AR markers to access different cultural settings. Users can choose from two cultural regions, Bali and Papua. Once a region is selected, a scene showcases the desired region's iconic places and objects accompanied by a traditional folk song. In developing the AR app, we used the agile software development method for approximately two months with four developers. At the end of the development phase, we conduct four testing aspects of the application—namely, angle testing, functionally testing, usability testing, and hardware testing. The testing revealed that the application could perform well under various testing conditions. Through our AR solution, we aim to raise awareness of the importance of Indonesian culture and provide an educational experience that can inspire users to take ownership of their cultural heritage.

THE CULTURAL IDENTITY ISSUES OF THE 19TH CENTURY ABKHAZIA

The cultural values of the nation, traditions, symbols, folklore, myths and legends, constitute the collective memory of this society. These values, created by educational and cultural centers, express the leading aspirations of the nation that created them and play a special role in shaping the identity of nations. The cultural identity of the population of Abkhazia rested on centuries-old traditions of Georgian-Abkhaz historical coexistence. This determined the fact that Abkhazia had remained a part of the all-Georgian cultural and historical universe. Since the end of the 17th century, when local Christian cultural and educational centers were liquidated in Abkhazia, cultural life in Abkhazia was supported only by the church centers of the Principality of Samegrelo (Odishi). Throughout the 19th century, the House of the Abkhaz principals was the center of the cultural life of Abkhazia. Even after the abolition of the Abkhaz principality (1864), representatives of the former ruling dynasty and people close to them determined the main aspects of social and cultural life. Above this, the history of the cultural life of Abkhazia of the 19th and early 20th centuries knows many prominent Georgians and Abkhazians, who great contributed to the creation of the cultural identity. The history of the cultural life of Abkhazia in the 19th and early 20th centuries reflects the main aspirations and characteristics of the cultural identity of the Abkhazian population: the establishment of new educational and cultural centers, close ties and cooperation with the progressive society of Tbilisi.

The Effect of Employment And Marriage on The Level of Community Welfare (Studies in Health Sector) in Indonesia

This study aims to determine the effect of household health level on the level of welfare in Indonesia. Health is a human right and one of the elements of welfare that must be realized in accordance with the ideals of the Indonesian nation referred to in Pancasila and the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. Health is an indicator of welfare for the community, so that every community has the right to obtain health services good and quality. The level of welfare is one of the achievements of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The problem that forms the basis of this research is to find out how much influence labor and marriage have on the level of social welfare, especially in the health sector in Indonesia. The research method used is a quantitative method with a linear regression model using secondary data. To find out the variables that influence the level of household health on the level of welfare in Indonesia, the variables used are marital status and the employment sector. To explain the level of household welfare, a cross-tabulation analysis was carried out. Meanwhile, to examine the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable, linear regression analysis was used. The research results obtained that the level of welfare in the health sector is influenced by employment variables and marriage variables. So it can be concluded that people who have jobs and are married have a much better level of welfare in the health sector. The hope is that all people in Indonesia are expected to obtain quality health facilities so that their level of welfare increases. Health improvement can be done by increasing medical facilities and improving the quality of medical staff

Conserving the Romanian Railway Heritage. Case Study: Locomotives

Every country's railway heritage is very important, given the fact that it represents an important part of a nation's identity. Romanian has a vast network of railways and rolling stock, from steam locomotives built in Resita in the 1900s, to modern day electric locomotives with asynchronous traction motors built by Softronic Craiova. This article's goal is to showcase the reasons why conserving Romania's railway heritage is important, especially when it comes to locomotives. In this article we will analyse Romania's locomotives and their attributes. The results show us that, although locomotives are an important part of Romania's heritage that the country should be proud of, they are not valued to the fullest extent possible.

Juridical Overview of the Prohibition of Interfaith Marriage from the Perspective of Human Rights and Criminal Law in Indonesia


 
 
 
 Indonesia is a country that is famous for its multiculturalism, one of which is religion. Consequently, in living their lives, Indonesian people are faced with differences in various things, ranging from culture, way of life and interactions between individuals. The concern of the government and other components of the nation is the issue of inter-religious relations. One of the problems in inter-religious relations is the issue of mixed marriages (inter-religious marriages), which in this article are referred to as “interfaith marriages”. The condition of the pluralistic Indonesian society makes the association in society wider and more diverse. This has resulted in a more dynamic shift in religious values ​​than what happened in the past. In fact, interfaith marriages in Indonesia are not justified based on positive national law that applies in the territory of Indonesia. It can be concluded that if the State legalizes interfaith marriages in Indonesia, the State is tantamount to violating the existing religious laws in Indonesia, and violating Article 29 of the 1945 Constitution which guarantees every citizen to embrace religion and worship according to their religion and belief, while Each religion has different procedures for marriage or worship. The view of human rights in Indonesia should refer more to the human rights arrangements contained in the 1945 Constitution, not to the UDHR which we ourselves do not know who made it and even what the agenda is for a country that is still very religious. Human rights in Indonesia, not secular human rights, which separate religion from the state, which legalize all means in the name of "human rights", this clearly contradicts the first principle of Pancasila, and this does not enter into the identity of the Indonesian nation. In this article, interfaith marriage will also be studied from the perspective of criminal law regarding its legality.
