Common Goals

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.

The Ideal

<p>The existence and role of religion (Islam) get a sharp criticism, which essentially needs a re-examination of religious dogma that has been frozen, if religion does not want to be abandoned by the swift stream of modernization. Truly the religion God revealed to the earth is for man. So religion is born to man, not man born to religion. If man is born to religion, then the most prominent is his transcendent dimension, the religious world from which he came, far from the earth. If so, then humans enter into the world aIkoholistik-theocentric, intoxicated. Factors that cause humans away from the ideal message of the Qur'an is a factor understanding of religion. A series of worship conducted by religious people such as prayer, zakat, fasting, pilgrimage, and the like only stop at the point of carrying out obligations (fiqh oriented) and become a symbol of piety, while the fruits of worship that dimensi sosial less visible. Among religious communities, there has been a misunderstanding in interpreting and appreciating and appreciating the symbolic message. As a result, religion is understood only as an individual savior and not as a social blessing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Eksistensi dan peran agama (Islam) mendapatkan kritik tajam, yang intinya perlu adanya pengkajian ulang terhadap dogma agama yang selama ini telah membeku, jika agama tidak ingin ditinggalkan begitu saja oleh derasnya arus modernisasi. Sesungguhnya agama itu diturunkan Tuhan ke bumi memang untuk manusia. Jadi agama lahir untuk manusia, bukan manusia lahir untuk agama. Jika manusia lahir untuk agama, maka yang pal­ing menonjol adalah dimensi transendennya, dunia agama tempat asal ia turun, jauh dari bumi. Jika demikian, maka manusia masuk kedalam dunia <strong>a</strong>Ikoholistik-teosentris, mabuk ketuhanan. Faktor yang menyebabkan manusia jauh dari pesan ideal al Quran adalah faktor pemahaman terhadap agama. Serangkaian ibadah yang dilakukan umat beragama (Islam) seperti shalat, zakat, puasa, haji, dan sejenisnya hanya berhenti pada sebatas menjalankan kewajiban (fiqh oriented) dan menjadi simbol kesalehan, sedangkan buah ibadah yang berdimensi sosial kurang nampak. Di kalangan masyarakat beragama, telah terjadi kesalahpahaman dalam memaknai dan menghayati serta mengapresiasi pesan simbolik itu. Akibatnya, agama hanya di pahami sebagai penyelamat individu dan bukan sebagai keberkahan sosial.</p><p> </p>

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.

Graham B. Walker introduces the slow violence of the environmental crisis as a flashpoint in the question for the doctrine of providence in general and the history of the Cross specifically. Where is God in all this? Two immediate positions are identified: the first position assumes that God is located high above the world of chaos in the valley below. God intervenes as God deems appropriate. Questions of inordinate suffering challenge this starting point. A second notion begins in the chaotic valley below and asks, where is God in all of this? E. Frank Tupper begins in this valley and describes “the God of love (who) always does the most God can do.” Tupper identifies the ecological crisis as a significant factor in the chaos of human history. Walker amplifies this concern by introducing ecologist Rob Nixon’s critique of the Western addiction to global consumption and Edward O. Wilson’s appeal for the religious community and the scientific community to work together for the love of the earth. Looking for theological responses that unite both science and faith with a love for God’s world, Walker dialogues with Ian McFarland and Sallie McFague. Although McFarland and McFague start from divergent theological positions, they arrive at a similar conclusion: the self-limitation of human acquisitive desire for the love of God’s world and God’s identification with the suffering creation of the world in the death of Christ.

This chapter examines how consumers become Steve Jobs' fans and how they establish psychological bond with Steve Jobs as a means to understand the general fandom phenomenon. The authors adopted the Psychological Continuum Model (PCM) to formulate five research questions and conducted a content analysis of web reviews based on two Steve Jobs' fans online communities. Results demonstrated that (1) most fans began to know Jobs either through the use of Apple products or the exposure of mass media about Jobs and his biography; (2) what fascinated fans most about Jobs was his thoughts and ideas that “change the world”; (3) in the minds of his fans, Jobs was regarded as the greatest man or superhuman and revered as a legendary hero who inspired lots of people in the world; (4) many fans perceived Jobs as the icon of Apple products and, to them, Jobs was Apple and Apple was Jobs. As such, while many fans considered them both Apple fans and Jobs fans, significant numbers of fans were only devotees of Jobs but not Apple brand; and (5) for many fans, they actually devoted themselves to Jobs not to Apple, and they would not consider Apple products the same as Jobs' Apple. While some fans continued to support Apple as the heritage that Jobs left for his successor, others had lost their faith, loyalty and commitment to Apple in the post-Jobs era.

Contemporary global security realities have identified the pervasive mass media terror continuum in the form of display of graphic images and somewhat persuasive impacts of the mass media as used by terror organizations across the world. This work is therefore an explorative analytical narrative of the impacts of the mass media in the promotion and consolidation of terrorist ideologies and rationalization of terrorist activities. Generally, the work has made an objective modest attempt to review the nature and dynamics of global mass media and relationship between some of the fallouts of the impacts of the mass media in the spread and sustainability of global extremist and terrorist ideologies. This narrative is derivable from different international scholars and national governments based on sustained empirical researches in different countries of the world.  Consequently, this work adopted extensively the historical and explorative approach that relied on secondary sources comprising books, journals and reports that were logically arranged and evaluated through content analysis in tandem with social science research enterprise. The work, therefore, established glaring intrinsic and extrinsic correlation between the impacts of the mass media and terrorism in the world and ultimately offered useful recommendations accordingly to stem this scourge.

The study is an investigation into the various ways pulpit preachers in Christian religion elicit responses from their congregation. The data for the study consists of messages delivered from the pulpit at denominational, non-denominational and interdenominational Christian services in South-Western Nigeria. Working within the framework of Sociolinguistics and Discourse Analysis, the analyses reveal that preachers control the discourse, while the worshippers share in the process of creation of the text as it unfolds. For instance, they determine what responses are given, how they should be given and when to give them. It was also observed that response elicitation is done through the use of interrogatives, declaratives and imperatives, and such responses may come in forms of speech, physical action, and mental behaviour. Our analyses reveal a preponderance of spoken responses in the data. Five kinds of spoken responses are identified in the data, namely: Conventional Answer (CA), Response to Prayers (RP), Repeated Statements (RS), Gap Filling (GF), and Corrected Statement (CS). The study concludes that despite that the way responses are elicited depends largely on the practices of any religious community, certain patterns of elicitation are common in ECPD. The degree of control and the kind of response elicited by a preacher are determined by the language expectations of the community. Such expectations include knowledge of the language code, principles, norms, use, situation and the world of such religious communities.

Background. Nearly all of the research on sex differences in mass media utilization has been based on samples from the United States and a few other Western countries. Aim. The present study examines sex differences in mass media utilization in four Asian countries (Japan, Malaysia, South Korea, and Singapore). Methods. College students self-reported the frequency with which they accessed the following five mass media outlets: television dramas, televised news and documentaries, music, newspapers and magazines, and the Internet. Results. Two significant sex differences were found when participants from the four countries were considered as a whole: Women watched television dramas more than did men; and in Japan, female students listened to music more than did their male counterparts. Limitations. A wider array of mass media outlets could have been explored. Conclusions. Findings were largely consistent with results from studies conducted elsewhere in the world, particularly regarding sex differences in television drama viewing. A neurohormonal evolutionary explanation is offered for the basic findings.
