How does photojournalism in San Diego represent Tijuana and its residents? This chapter analyzes both articles and photographs in the San Diego Union-Tribune over the course of a decade (2000–2010), using visual methods and a broad heuristic to capture four dimensions of stigmatizing narratives about Tijuana. On one hand, the analysis finds a complex portrait of Tijuana that encompassed not only the expected images from the drug war but also stories from business and daily life that would feel familiar and empathetic to San Diego readers. On the other hand, themes of violence and disorder pervaded much of the content, even on topics unrelated to crime, particularly in headlines and captions. This chapter demonstrates how bordering and debordering representations in local media can coexist in paradoxical ways and how they shift scales from local to national, depending on the topic and framing.

In the last few years, it has often been said that the current fashion system is outdated, still operating by a twentieth-century model that celebrates the individualism of the 'star designer'. In I- D, Sarah Mower recently stated that for the last twenty years, fashion has been at a cocktail party and has completely lost any connection with the public and daily life. On the one hand, designers and big brands experience the enormous pressure to produce new collections at an ever higher pace, leaving less room for reflection, contemplation, and innovation. On the other hand, there is the continuous race to produce at even lower costs and implement more rapid life cycles, resulting in disastrous consequences for society and the environment.

Violence has been a part of daily life in both traditional and digital media. Consequently, neither the existence of violence in the media nor the debates on this subject are new. On the other hand, the presentation of violence in fictional content should be viewed from a different point of view, especially in the context of aesthetization. Within this context, in this chapter, the serial of Penny Dreadful is analyzed. As analyzing method, Tahsin Yücel's model of the “space/time coordinates of narrative” is used. And the subject of “aestheticization of violence” is analyzed through a serial with the elements of person, space, and time. Thus, the role of not only physical beauty but also different components in the aestheticization of violence is examined.

Speaking is used to express people’s ideas and feelings in daily life or to communicate with others both personal talks and transactional conversation.  The objective of the study is to figure out how the students of SMKN 2 Bangkalan can use the six English tenses in daily conversation. The research was done within two weeks starting from 22th April to 06th May 2019. Observation and interview were performed to collect the data. Observation was made to see what was going on in the class, focusing on the students’ conversation. On the other hand, Interview was carried out to know the students’ problems in using the correct tenses in conversation, and to find out how the students solve the problems. The observation shows that in using the six English tenses, the students likely found it hard to apply the correct tenses in the conversation with their friends and the teacher. The students tended to use one tense in all situations and the tense mostly used was the simple present one. From the interview, it is found that the students do not really understand what tenses are, either the meaning or the uses.Keywords: daily conversation, tenses, observation, interview, contexts of situationAbstrak.

This article discusses the idea of a hospitable church that struggles under the sacred canopy of the state, especially in the Indonesian context. By using Stanley Hauerwas’ social ethics and ecclesiology that views the church as an exemplary community, this article proposes an ecclesial model that maintains the tension of being true to its nature on the one hand and being political on the other hand. Such a model is demonstrated through its four dimensions: beholding, becoming, belonging, and befriending. The paper ends with a conclusion, in which the author reflects on the four dimensions by using the perspective of the four classical marks of the church (notae ecclesiae). AbstrakArtikel ini membahas gagasan mengenai gereja dengan identitas-ramah yang berjuang di bawah kanopi suci negara, khususnya dalam konteks Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan etika sosial dan eklesiologi Stanley Hauerwas, yang memandang gereja sebagai komunitas eksemplaris, artikel ini mengusul-kan model gerejawi yang mempertahankan ketegangan antara menjadi setia pada hakikatnya di satu sisi dan menjadi politis di sisi lain. Model semacam itu ditunjukkan melalui empat dimensinya: beholding, becoming, belonging, dan befriending. Makalah diakhiri dengan kesimpulan yang di dalamnya penulis merefleksikan empat dimensi di atas dengan menggunakan perspektif empat tanda klasik gereja (notae ecclesiae).

Abstrak Pada umumnya masyarakat menganggap bahwa penyelesaian sengketa keperdataan yang tidak berhasil “dimusyawarahkan” hanya dapat diselesaikan di pengadilan. Adanya pemikiran tersebut tidak terlepas dari “belum merakyatnya” berbagai lembaga penyelesaian sengketa yang bersifat alternatif yang sesungguhnya sudah tersedia di masyarakat. Salah satu lembaga yang dimaksud adalah lembaga mediasi. Lembaga mediasi mempunyai kelebihan dan kekurangan dibandingkan dengan lembaga peradilan dalam menyelesaikan sengketa keperdataan, Kehadiran lembaga mediasi pada kenyataannya dapat mengurangi “beban kerja” lembaga peradilan. Dalam perkembangannya fungsi lembaga mediasi ini sudah mengalami perubahan dari fungsi asasinya sebagai “penyelesai sengketa” menjadi “pencegah timbulnya sengketa” dengan adanya campur tangan peraturan perundang-undangan.   Kata kunci: sengketa, pengadilan, mediasi, dan mediator, .   Abstract  In people’s daily life, the existence of a market is needed to meet the primary meeds (food). On the issue of  “price” and “shopping convenience”, people have a tendency to compare between the traditional with the modern market. In fact what is meant by “price comparison” here is relative because it is associated with the problem of “certainty” the weight or volume of the goods themselves are sometimes not noticed by consumers. On the other hand the government has provided a means to protect the rights of consumers with the consumer protection laws that may still not have been aware of its existence by the majority of the Indonesian people.   Key words: traditinal market, modern market, consumers, and price comparison

Abstract The verbs ser and estar have been a subject of great debate in the literature, mainly because the adjectives that are combined with each copula are not in complementary distribution. A cognitive linguistics approach proposes that estar allows for a comparison of the entity referred to by the utterance’s subject and that very same entity that goes through a temporal change; on the other hand, ser allows for a comparison among entities of different type (Delbecque, 1997). I provide an analysis of spontaneous child-directed speech from a longitudinal database and find variation sets that may allow children to detect the differences between ser and estar. In child-directed speech, the entities referred to by the subject of a sentence with estar are always entities that undergo a perceptible change within an activity of daily life, while the entities referred to with ser never undergo a change.

This article discusses the concept of bribery in the perspective of hadith jurisprudence and its impact on human life. By looking at some definitions of bribery, it is found that all definitions give different meanings, goals, and aspects, there are essence of bribery, or which have similarities to them (such as gratification), because bribery is a social phenomenon and has many patterns making it difficult to define definitions the right and limit the meaning. But a definition that explains the meaning of bribery objectively, namely: Giving given to someone (an official) so that the right becomes wrong and wrong becomes right, because it summarizes the essence of bribery practice and is considered a comprehensive definition of all banned aspects of bribery, so let us choose this. In Qur’ān and Ḥadīth, Allah forbade his servant to eat bribery property, because this property was included as part of consuming other people's assets with vanity. Even though bribery is called a variety of terms in daily life, such as facilitation payments, tips, etc., the legal status and prohibition cannot change with these various terms. Bribes also have the potential to create hate conflicts and hostility among members of the community. Because in essence, bribery is only a tool for those who hold policies to oppress the weak. On the other hand, those who surrendered their wealth to the recipients of this bribe gave their assets very forcefully.

The more the spirit of study of the Qur'an is increasing, so the spirit of studying the Qur'an is never lost, For that, learning knowledge about the Qur'an should be given to all students, ranging from the level of childhood to they mature later. On the other hand, character education that is currently being promoted and developed by the government is an education that prioritizes the behavior of good morality. The education of this character emerges and rises to the surface is a reaction to the advancement of pedagogig (education) naturalistic and instrumentalism. al-Qur'an that in essence already covers the whole aspects of life, including also the education, so that can be interpreted by studying the Qur'an means the same as improving the character of each child itself. The phenomenon in Madrasah Diniyah in his learning process emphasizes more on religious teaching sessions, as well as the education of the Qur'an, and as the pattern of association of students, that they are in daily life more prioritizes the manners that is already one of the characteristics of has in character education . For that, at a glance the authors assume that character education is an application of education of the Qur'an that they have learned so far.
