a Karno as the first President of the Republic of Indonesia as the founding father of this nation stressed that: This nation must be built by prioritizing character building, because this character will make Indonesia a great, advanced and dignified nation. If character development is not carried out, then the Indonesian people will become coolies. Character can be interpreted as a basic value that builds a person's personal, formed because of the influence of heredity and environmental influences, which distinguishes it from others, and is manifested in attitudes and behaviors in everyday life.

Character development is required for students so they can bring benefits to society in the future. Character development in Bina Nusantara University has been carried out since 2001. Character development is in the form of 3 compulsory classes using values from Pancasila, Citizenship, and Religion. To improve continuously, it is necessary to find out students' attitudes toward character-building courses they had taken. This research measures students' attitudes towards the importance of character development, their favorite character-building course, how character-building courses influence their character, and whether applicable and relevant to everyday life. The result of the research shows students understood the importance of character development, the Character Building: Religion course was their favorite. The Character Building: Religion highly affects their character and is very applicable and relevant. Character Building: Pancasila and Character Building: Civics has an influence on their character, which are also applicable and relevant. The current state of Character-Building courses is good but still has room to improve. By knowing how students respond, further improvement can be more precise and effective.

Abstract: Children’s Literature and Character Building. This article aims todescribe roles and strategies of the learning of children’s literature in charactereducation. In terms of the materials, literature has already contained “rawmaterials” to build children’s character. Literature is culture in action containinglife models. The concept of people with ideal character highly appreciatingmorality and great values is concretely manifested in the story characters’ attitudesand behaviors. Children can imitate the heroes with ideal norms and take theirattitudes and behaviors as examples. Moreover, at their age, children like to imitatebehaviors of people that they admire. To prevent literature learning from becomingrote learning, teachers and parents should work in synergy to help children read,understand, and give examples of concrete attitudes and behaviors so that theinternalization process takes place. Therefore, story-telling activities for childrenshould be routinely conducted and reading habits should be inculcated since theearly age.Keywords: children’s literature, character building, culture in behaviors

Although the book’s main concern is with Latin poetry of the Republic proper, Chapter 5 extends its analysis into the “Triumviral Period” (44–29 BCE) and thus closer to the Augustan Age. As Rome fell into a new round of bloody civil conflicts through which two essentially monarchic rulers—first Julius Caesar and then Octavian/Augustus—sought dominion over the whole empire, the poetic conceit of making one’s way through disorienting circumstances became freighted with new meaning. Vergil in the Aeneid was not the only poet to adopt this conceit in response to these events. But recognizing as much requires a different understanding of how the theme of becoming lost relates to the expansion of Roman power and the interplay between Greek and Roman culture. Rather than use the motif to figure travel in far-flung areas of the empire, Horace’s Satires, book 1, with its Epicurean satirist personae vulnerable to some of the same charges of queer attitudes and behaviors as Lucretius, limits its ramblings geographically to Rome and Italy. In doing so, however, it makes them into a means of suggesting the stable—and potentially universal—power of the man already dominant in the whole of the Western empire: Octavian. Horace’s presentation involves a skillful handling of Octavian’s links to the divine, particularly the divinity of his deceased adoptive father, Julius Caesar, whose worship Octavian himself had already introduced into state-sponsored cult. Satires 1 thus reveals awareness of the empire-wide projection of power on which Octavian’s position of leadership was coming to depend.

Here we introduce the Genetic and Environmental Foundations of Political and Economic Behaviors: A Panel Study of Twins and Families (PIs Alford, Hatemi, Hibbing, Martin, and Smith). This study was designed to explore the genetic and environmental influences on social, economic, and political behaviors and attitudes. It involves identifying the psychological mechanisms that operate on these traits, the heritability of complex economic and political traits under varying conditions, and specific genetic correlates of attitudes and behaviors. In addition to describing the study, we conduct novel analyses on the data, estimating the heritability of two traits so far unexplored in the extant literature: Machiavellianism and Baron-Cohen's Empathizing Quotient.

Background: While the ultimate goal of adolescent suicide-prevention efforts is to decrease the incidence of death by suicide, a critical intermediary goal is directing youths toward effective sources of assistance. Aim: To comprehensively review the universal prevention literature and examine the effects of universal prevention programs on student’s attitudes and behaviors related to help-seeking. Method: We systematically reviewed studies that assessed help-seeking outcomes including prevention efforts utilizing (1) psychoeducational curricula, (2) gatekeeper training, and (3) public service messaging directed at youths. Of the studies reviewed, 17 studies evaluated the help-seeking outcomes. These studies were identified through a range of sources (e.g., searching online databases, examining references of published articles on suicide prevention). Results: The results of this review suggest that suicide-prevention programming has a limited impact on help-seeking behavior. Although there was some evidence that suicide-prevention programs had a positive impact on students’ help-seeking attitudes and behaviors, there was also evidence of no effects or iatrogenic effects. Sex and risk status were moderators of program effects on students help-seeking. Conclusions: Caution is warranted when considering which suicidal prevention interventions best optimize the intended goals. The impact on adolescents’ help-seeking behavior is a key concern for educators and mental-health professionals.
