The contestation phenomenon between Muslim and Christian groups in the context of social-religious relation. This relation affects the conflict and also cohesion (peace). The tensity between Muslim and Christian groups that happened at the arena of preaching and strengthening the reliogion teaching namely mission of bible in Christian (evangelism) and also dakwah islamiyah (amar ma’ruf, nahi’ munkar). The tensity did not rise the conflict and violence because of local wisdoms, namely the dialogue mechanism or rembug kampung that met both groups to reconsile. The peace between Muslim and Christian groups is established because the cooperation, undertanding and the experiences of cultural values gave the room to the both groups to build the solidarity, communication or dialogue and cooperation. Cultural velues such as tepo seliro (emphaty), unggah-ungguh (polite and impolite ethics), lung tinulung (helping each other), giving food each other, visiting each other, rembug (musyawarah/discussion), slametan (thanks giving) are able to be understood and actualized to internalize inclusive attitudes to water the harmony between religions adherents. Therefore concludes that culture is the dominant factor in building the peace relation among the different religions groups (Islam and Christian). If the religions groups had applied the velues of local wisdoms, then the gate of religion harmonious is opened largely. Keywords : contestation, Islam, Christian, Peace, conflict

In harmonious and zero intolerance society, conflicts can still potentially occur. The cause of the conflict can be caused by many variables, such as politics, culture, religion, and economics. Research shows that in cases of multipurpose building, Hok Tek Bio temple, in Ciamis, the dominant factor of conflict is the different interpretation of the concept and implementation of sharia on houses of worship and diversity. Understanding sharia which puts theology as the basis of the diversity of the key religious figures of the Forum for Religious Harmony (FKUB) Ciamis, the Indonesian Ulama Council (MUI), and the local community around the temple become strong force to be conflict resolution. The combination of sharia values understanding of Muslim leaders in FKUB, MUI, and the community and the cultural values of the Sundanese people in Ciamis can play as togetherness bond in harmonious life. Therefore, the model of civic pluralism that combines sharia and culture as local wisdom becomes an effective conflict resolution model.DOI: 10.15408/ajis.v16i1.2900

This research is trying to describe short stories in Jawa Pos written by East Java writers during 2000s. The purpose of the study is to explain local wisdom and characteristic among East Java people. Using the characterization and stylistic analysis, it turns out that the fictional characters in those East Java short stories are not merely single entity. The fact is actually correspondences with the multiethnics East Javanese socio-cultural values since it strongly influenc the East Java writers. However, black humour is the dominant factor as the style besides sarcastic, satire, and irony. Those writers are not only focusing on subculturally local wisdom and kampong values, but also interested in urban problems with its magic realism, sufism themes, and religiosity. Localities as the socio-cultural background are namely Arekan, Pesisir, Mataraman, and Madura. Therefore, we can conclude that short stories in Jawa Pos during 2000s have discourse transition in terms of millennium shift context, containing local issues which side-by-side with global matters as its themes

Abstract In this paper, we explore cultural values and expectations that might vary among different groups. Using the collectivist-individualist framework, we discuss differences in beliefs about the caregiver role in teaching and interacting with young children. Differences in these beliefs can lead to dissatisfaction with services on the part of caregivers and with frustration in service delivery on the part of service providers. We propose that variation in caregiver and service provider perspectives arise from cultural values, some of which are instilled through our own training as speech-language pathologists. Understanding where these differences in cultural orientation originate can help to bridge these differences. These can lead to positive adaptations in the ways that speech-language pathology services are provided within an early intervention setting that will contribute to effective intervention.

This paper studies whether and how information and communication technology (ICT) changes self-construal and cultural values in a developing country. Ethiopian children were given laptops in the context of an ICT for development scheme. We compared children who used laptops (n = 69) with a control group without laptops (n = 76) and a second control group of children whose laptop had broken down (n = 24). Results confirmed that after 1 year of laptop usage, the children’s self-concept had become more independent and children endorsed individualist values more strongly. Interestingly, the impact of laptop usage on cultural values was mediated by self-construal (moderated mediation). Importantly, modernization did not “crowd out” traditional culture: ICT usage was not associated with a reduction in traditional expressions (interdependent self-construal, collectivist values). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The present paper gives a review of empirical research on ethical leadership and shows that still little is known known about the contextual antecedents of ethical leadership. To address this important issue, a conceptual framework is developed that analyzes the embeddedness of organizational ethical leadership. This framework identifies manifest and latent contextual factors on three different levels of analysis – society, industry, and organization – which can affect the development and maintenance of ethical leadership. In particular, propositions are offered about how (1) societal characteristics, notably the implementation and the spirit of human rights in a society and societal cultural values of responsibility, justice, humanity, and transparency; (2) industry characteristics such as environmental complexity, the content of the organizational mandate, and the interests of stakeholder networks; and (3) intra-organizational characteristics, including the organizational ethical infrastructure and the ethical leadership behavior of a leader’s peer group, influence the development and maintenance of ethical leadership in organizations. This list of factors is not exhaustive, but illustrates how the three levels may impact ethical leadership. Implications for managerial practice and future research are discussed.
