In last few years, there are some critical problems such as racial discrimination, terrorism, and radicalism. The issues appear in many countries such as America, UK, and Indonesia. Multicultural based English learning is essential in promoting students’ sense of tolerance, especially from English textbooks. This research aims to investigate the multicultural values represented in the official English textbook authorized by MONEC. This content analysis research uses Bennet's four multicultural dimensions to analyse multicultural values. The results of this study tell that three dimensions of multicultural values occur from the textbook, such as (1) acceptance and appreciation of cultural diversity; (2) respect for human dignity and universal human right; and (3) respect for the earth. The implications suggest that English has a progressively vital part as a lingua franca; multicultural resources from the inner and outer circle of countries are essential in EFL textbooks. As a result, it is necessary to add more aspects of multicultural values: the world community's responsibility, because it is less represented in the EFL textbooks.

Those of you with a sweet tooth are no doubt already familiar with the delicious doughnut, but did you know there is much more to that simple pastry than meets the eye? Here’s an experiment: take a sheet of A4 paper and roll it up, now try to join the two open ends without bending or making any corners on the paper, go on I’ll wait…..impossible right? Well that’s because we are stuck with only three dimensions, add in one more dimension though and you can! What’s more is that if we lived on the surface of that doughnut, the world would look a lot like the surface of the Earth does to us now-flat as far as the eye can see (but a lot sweeter if you choose to eat the soil). My research is on understanding all these ‘flat’ doughnuts (called tori in mathematics) and how to make ...

As the creatures on the earth, humans are bounded to diversities. Diversities, including different religions, tribes, race, ethnicities, complexion and cultures are blessings from God the Almighty. Religions have been the key to problems that occur due to diversities. Religions bring up the values of humanity and are against violence, oppression, radicalism, terrorism, intolerance, and any extreme actions regarding humanity issues of religious community. This article was qualitatively written based on content analysis on current religious moderation issues written and disseminated through mass media regarding Islam and the Western community. Results showed that religious moderation required the strengthening of the aspects of life among religious communities in any part of the world. Religious moderation would eventually bring peace and unity between Islam community and western community. Therefore, it is necessary that every element of the community from any nation, religion, race, tribe and culture bound themselves to the peace, harmony, equality, tolerance and act moderately in order to avoid conflicts and strengthen the unity. In addition, as a part of religious community, people need to collaborate to achieve those common goals.

There is something more catastrophic than the end of the world, especially when ‘world’ is understood as the horizon of meaning and expectation that has composed the West. If the Anthropocene is the geological period marking the point at which the earth as a living system has been altered by ‘anthropos,’ the Trumpocene marks the twenty-first-century recognition that the destruction of the planet has occurred by way of racial violence, slavery and annihilation. Rather than saving the world, recognizing the Trumpocene demands that we think about destroying the barbarism that has marked the earth.

‘A pinch of unseen, unguarded dust’: The World and Self in Thomas Hardy's Poems

Body Subject

The essay discusses selected poems from Thomas Hardy's vast body of poetry, focusing on representations of the self and the world. Employing Maurice Merleau-Ponty's concepts such as the body-subject, wild being, flesh, and reversibility, the essay offers an analysis of Hardy's poems in the light of phenomenological philosophy. It argues that far from demonstrating ‘cosmic indifference’, Hardy's poetry offers a sympathetic vision of interrelations governing the universe. The attunement with voices of the Earth foregrounded in the poems enables the self's entanglement in the flesh of the world, a chiasmatic intertwining of beings inserted between the leaves of the world. The relation of the self with the world is established through the act of perception, mainly visual and aural, when the body becomes intertwined with the world, thus resulting in a powerful welding. Such moments of vision are brief and elusive, which enhances a sense of transitoriness, and, yet, they are also timeless as the self becomes immersed in the experience. As time is a recurrent theme in Hardy's poetry, this essay discusses it in the context of dwelling, the provisionality of which is demonstrated in the prevalent sense of temporality, marked by seasons and birdsong, which underline the rhythms of the world.

The Way

The Sri Lankan Ministry of National Coexistence, Dialogue, and Official Languages published the work “People of Sri Lanka” in 2017. In this comprehensive publication, 21 invited Sri Lankan scholars introduced 19 different people’s groups to public readers in English, mainly targeted at a growing number of foreign visitors in need of understanding the cultural diversity Sri Lanka has to offer. This paper will observe the presentation of these different groups of people, the role music and allied arts play in this context. Considering the non-scholarly design of the publication, a discussion of the role of music and allied arts has to be supplemented through additional analyses based on sources mentioned by the 21 participating scholars and their fragmented application of available knowledge. In result, this paper might help improve the way facts about groups of people, the way of grouping people, and the way of presenting these groupings are displayed to the world beyond South Asia. This fieldwork and literature guided investigation should also lead to suggestions for ethical principles in teaching and presenting of culturally different music practices within Sri Lanka, thus adding an example for other case studies.
