Modern age has provided great opportunities in all domains of people's lives, but it has also generated unexpected obstacles; one of which is a negative change in the concept of beauty in society. The new emerging tendency of people to appear like a supermodel in social media and to draw the interest of others by adding beauty filters not only sends an ambiguous message about beauty, but also produces a false claim of appearance where teenagers like to 'fake it.' Beauty has always been the contentious subject in most fictional works and specially in fairy tales. Classic fairy tales portray their heroine as a beautiful being, a picture-perfect substance. They are celebrated not for their confidence or bravery, but for their outward appearance, clothing and jewels. Thus, every girl child has a fantasy of finding a Fairy God Mother who can turn her into a stunning, attractive princess and only then, they can meet their prince charming and happily ever after. But things are not the same, they don’t have God Mother or they don’t want to remain as a beautiful angel, rather, they want to be ordinary with full of courage and confidence to fight back to any evil. They don’t need any prince charming to fight for her rather they want to fight for their own. This paper will study the contrast between the classical and modern story of Cinderella in Children Literature and also explore how the concept of beauty is changing in the modern books and fairy tales.

<p>As bots become more prevalent and smarter in the modern age of the internet, it becomes ever more important that they be identified and removed. Recent research has dictated that machine learning methods are accurate and the gold standard of bot identification on social media. Unfortunately, machine learning models do not come without their negative aspects such as lengthy training times, difficult feature selection, and overwhelming pre-processing tasks. To overcome these difficulties, we are proposing a blockchain framework for bot identification. At the current time, it is unknown how this method will perform, but it serves to prove the existence of an overwhelming gap of research under this area.<i></i></p>

AbstrakCerita Nini Anteh merupakan folklor lisan masyarakat Sunda. Folklor lisan ini mengalami transformasi dalam transgenre dan translingual. Novel Dongeng Nini Anteh karya A. S. Kesuma dan tayangan Opera Van Java (OVJ) episode Nyai Anteh Penjaga Bulan menjadi data dalam penelitian ini. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu teori tentang transformasi yang dikemukakan oleh Riffaterre. Berdasarkan hasil penelusuran kedua karya ditemukan adanya ekspansi, konversi, modifikasi, dan irisan. Ekspansi dalam tayangan OVJ tidak tampak melalui alur dan pengaluran, tokoh, dan latar karena kisahnya lebih sederhana daripada kisah dalam novel. Oleh sebab itu, ekspansi tampak melalui adanya perbedaan media yang digunakan untuk membangun suasana yang dimanfaatkan untuk mengundang tawa penonton. Konversi yang terdapat dalam tayangan OVJ tampak melalui penyederhanaan alur dan pengaluran, tokoh, dan latar. Selain itu, konsep kecantikan Nyai Anteh yang terdapat dalam novel justru diputarbalikkan untuk memancing tawa penonton. Latar dalam novel yang bias gender berubah menjadi latar yang netral dalam tayangan OVJ. Meskipun kedua karya mengusung cerita yang berasal dari Sunda, kedua karya ini sama-sama menunjukkan ke-Indonesiaannya dengan cara memodifikasi kisah melalui keberadaan tokoh maupun peralatan modern sesuai dengan zaman ini. Jika dalam novel usaha membangun masa lampau yang kemudian dikaitkan dengan kehidupan masa kini dapat dipandang sebagai upaya ajakan melakukan refleksi, dalam tayangan modifikasi justru dilakukan untuk mengundang tawa penonton. Irisan kedua karya adalah adanya deskripsi mengenai perempuan yang karena cinta kemudian menetap di bulan. Aktivitas perempuan tersebut ketika di bulan adalah menenun. Irisan ini menunjukkan bahwa ada hal-hal yang ingin diwariskan bagi generasi setelahnya terutama mengenai kemandirian perempuan dengan memproduksi tekstil.Kata kunci: Novel Dongeng Nini Anteh, tayangan OVJ episode Nyai Anteh Penjaga Bulan, transformasi AbstractThe story of Nini Anteh is an oral folklore of Sundanese, which has undergone a transformation into transgenre and translingual forms. Kesuma’s novel of “Nini Anteh” and an Opera Van Java (OVJ) episode of “Nyai Anteh Penjaga Bulan” were the data of this study. The theory used in this research is the theory of transformation proposed by Riffaterre. Analysis of the data reveals expansion, conversion, modification, and similarities. Expansion in the OVJ did not appear in the slot, characters, and background for the story was made simpler than that in the novel. Expansion appeared in the variety of media used to invite laughter. Conversion in the OVJ was evident in simplified plot, character, and setting. In addition, the concept of beauty of Nyai Anteh in the novel was entirely changed for entertainment purposes. A gender bias background in the novel was turned into a neutral background in the OVJ. Although both works carried a Sundanese story, they show the notion of Indonesian by modifying the story through the use of characters and equipment in accordance with the modern age. In the novel efforts to build past linked to the life of the present can be seen as an attempt to prompt reflection, while modifications in the OVJ were to invite laughter. Both works share the same description of a woman who then decided to reside on the Moon because of love. What she did on the moon was weaving. These similarities indicate that there are things that would be passed on to subsequent generations, especially regarding the independence of women in producing textiles. Keywords: Novel of Dongeng Nini Anteh, OVJ episode of Nyai Anteh Penjaga Bulan, transformation

The Relationship

Objective - Nowadays, people became conscious of their outward appearance and use make-up and skincare to enhance their appearance. The trends in personal care are influenced by the advancement of social media. People use social media to share their opinion, thoughts, and experience about personal care. This study is purposed to analyze aspects such as homophily, authority, and interestingness towards purchase intention as independent aspects with EWOM credibility and source of trustworthiness as a mediating variable. Methodology/Technique – This study uses purposive sampling with 485 respondent samples from Indonesia and uses a method of scaling and structural equation model to see the relationship between variables. Finding and Novelty - The result of this research implies that homophily, authority, and interestingness has a significant effect on the source of trustworthiness. Furthermore, authority and source of trustworthiness has a significant impact on EWOM credibility. EWOM credibility is having a substantial impact on purchase intention. It is also found that homophily, authority, and interestingness strengthen EWOM credibility through a source of trustworthiness. This finding concludes that the source of trustworthiness works to strengthen independent aspects of EWOM credibility rather than depending on EWOM credibility itself. Type of Paper: Empirical.

Reading Interest

ABSTRACTThe decline in interest in reading among the younger generation is caused by, among other things, being distracted from the attention and leisure time of young people in social media activities. In addition, to get the information they need, they can get it only by using their smartphone. Seeing the situation that concerns this, the effort to stimulate literacy education must be instilled from the beginning of time. This PPM aims to increase reading interest of Bunda Hajar Dusun Sukanegla PAUD students, Desa Hegarmanah, Jatinangor, Sumedang. In order to be interesting, the delivery of counseling and educational activities is carried out using the storytelling method. The results obtained, children are more interested in listening, able to survive listening and can answer questions about fairy tales delivered.Keywords: literacy education, fairy tales, early childhood educationABSTRAKMenurunnya minat membaca di kalangan generasi milenial disebabkan oleh antara lain teralihnya perhatian dan luang waktu anak muda pada kegiatan media sosial.

False Claim

BACKGROUND The spread of false and misleading health information on social media can cause individual and social harm. Research on debunking has shown that properly designed corrections can mitigate the impact of misinformation, but little is known about the impact of correction in the context of prolonged social media debates. For example, when a social media user takes to Facebook to make a false claim about a health-related practice, and a health expert subsequently refutes the claim, the conversation rarely ends there. Often, the social media user proceeds by rebuking the critic and doubling down on the claim. OBJECTIVE The present research examines the impact of such extended back and forth between false claims and debunking attempts on observers’ dispositions toward behavior that science favors. We test competing predictions about the effect of extended exposure on people’s attitudes and intentions toward masking in public during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic and explore several psychological processes potentially underlying this effect. METHODS Five hundred US residents took part in an online experiment in October 2020. They reported on their attitudes and intentions toward wearing masks in public. Then, they were randomly assigned to one of four social media exposure conditions (misinformation only vs. misinformation + correction vs. misinformation + correction + rebuke vs. misinformation + correction + rebuke + second correction) and reported their attitudes and intentions for a second time. They also indicated whether they would consider sharing the thread if they were to see it on social media and answered questions on potential mediators and covariates. RESULTS Exposure to misinformation has a negative impact on attitudes and intentions toward masking. Moreover, initial debunking of a false claim generally improves attitudes and intentions toward masking. However, this improvement is washed out by further exposure to false claims and debunking attempts. The latter result is partially explained by a decrease in the perceived objectivity of truth. That is, extended exposure to false claims and debunking attempts appears to weaken belief that there is an objectively correct answer to how people ought to behave in this situation, which in turn leads to less positive reactions toward masking as the prescribed behavior. CONCLUSIONS Health professionals and science advocates face an underappreciated challenge in attempting to debunk misinformation on social media. While engaging in extended debates with science deniers and other purveyors of bunk appears necessary, more research is needed to address the unintended consequences of such engagement.

Purpose: The years between 40 to the early 60’s in the human life span is referred to as the Midlife period. It is also considered as an important period in one’s life, referred to as the transition period. By this age it is generally assumed that a person would have more free time in their hands, as they get settled/established in their career and with the children hitting their teens and no longer demanding a lion’s share of their spare time, one is free to socialise, introspect, explore new avenues etc. Traditionally it is believed that people are more fixated or obsessed with their outwardly appearance up until their 40, s and as they hit their midlife, they tend to become more relaxed on their outward appearance and physique. In the current scenario where people are locked up indoors due to the Covid19 pandemic. Working, Socialising, recreation is facilitated by some or the other social media platform. The issue here is that these platforms not only show us the other person, but you see yourself also on screen. Seeing themselves on screen is not something that the people in their midlife are used to. This over exposure of the unfiltered self, pitched against the others on screen make them conscious of their haves and have not’s. The massive boom of the beauty /fitness industry along with the new age/gen Selfie revolution has put a massive pressure on the human psyche to look perfect and flawless in every frame. People have become very aware of their body, body type, flaws and assets. Objective: This research was done to Understand the extent to which the people from a fitness group and who follow an exercise regime are conscious about the appearance of their specific body parts. Design/Methodology/Approach: Quantitative analysis with pre-established tool of body comparison scale. Findings/Results: Results showed that contrary to the general understanding that people become relaxed towards their appearance during their midlife, both, males and females were bothered about their physical features and appearance. Both the genders were equally concerned about size, weight, waist, physique and overall shape. Males were more bothered about the muscular attributes while females were shown to be more conscious about non muscular physical attributes. Hence the results clearly indicated that due to social media influence, people in midlife are really conscious, comparative and critical about their physical attributes and body, irrespective of their gender. Originality/Value: The study points out at how comparative the social circles make us towards our own bodies. Paper Type: Quantitative Analysis

The Creation

Dining is inarguably one of the oldest, most prevalent and pervasive acts of social interaction. In the modern age the ability to display one's taste or refinement with regard to fashionable or trendy food items has become immediate due to social media. Instagram is filled with pictures of food: from farmers' markets to prepared meals to selfies holding food. The foodstuff that people show themselves eating or getting ready to eat are indicators of their social identities and how they would like to be perceived by others. These food items also carry connotations ranging from rustic to luxurious or processed versus fresh, i.e. fried chicken compared to caviar or canned tuna in contrast to wild caught salmon. However, in our current culinary climate even the lowest of foods have been redeemed and made fashionable again -- think Spam fried rice. Paintings of food during the eighteenth century can be viewed in a comparable way. The items depicted by the artist(s) have certain social connotations and long-standing iconographic affiliations. The paintings of food both reflect how the patron or subject of the painting wanted to be interpreted or perceived and blur the lines between popular and court culture.

The Way

Life in the modern age is dominated by social media. What used to be very much a private affair, like birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, etc., is now celebrated in front of oftentimes the whole world, and not infrequently, through the medium of the language that is not our own. The object of investigation in the present paper is the speech act of birthday wish sent to someone via Facebook. The analysis demonstrates that although the speech act has a universal aim – to show interest in another person and make them feel good, and although in many cases the language of conveying wishes, beside the native tongues, is the same, this notably being English, the lingua franca of contemporary world, the way the wish is expressed may differ markedly from culture to culture, thereby showing the underlying cultural values and norms of the users and of their native language use. The socio-pragmatic analysis presented here focuses on posts collected from personal profiles of British, Polish, Indian, and Armenian users, and investigates, among others, the choice of language, the formulaic vs. personalised character of the wish, and the character of strategies that make the wishes more personally oriented, with the aim to demonstrate visible differences across cultures regarding the way birthday wishes are phrased.

This chapter will cover development of business from and through the internet and social media. The aim of the chapter, which was set from the beginning, was twofold. The primary aim was (1) to explain the role of the effective usage of social media in the business environment and (2) to prove effective professional use-based communication process from and through audiovisual media technologies and, secondly, to become an important guide, but also a list of (new) strategic tactics and practices from and through the internet and social media, while providing a rich bibliography through literature (from theory to practice) and historical elements as a source of further study. The modern age is constantly changing, and there will always be room for improvement.
