In an increasingly violent world, reading literary works and the teaching of literature in school may play an important part in shaping students' personality as human beings. Turning literature classes into an effective way of cultivating ethical values in learners should be an educational goal of the curriculum irrespective of the level of study. Starting from the data provided by a focus group organized with Philology students within the Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti, the present chapter aims to highlight how literature classes may increase their moral awareness and develop their ethical skills. More precisely, the study investigates students' perceptions of literature and its role in developing mutual respect and non-violent behavior inside and outside the academic environment.

This paper will examine the thoughts of Abdurrahman Mas'ud on Nondikotomik Educational Format (Humanism Religious as Paradigm of Islamic Education). Mas'ud argues, there is no separation between religious science and general science. Mas'udseems to want to compromise the general assumption between Western education which is more concerned with the knowledge aspect with Eastern education emphasizing more on the Religious aspect. The educational goal according to Abdurrahman Mas'ud is the connection between man and his God (Hablum Minallah) and between man and man (Hablum Minannas). Ultimately, education aims to enable students to become human beings, which is perfect in the eyes of human civilization and perfect in the standard of religion. Furthermore, Mas'ud is in line with the concept of religious humanism that is applied in Islamic education by emphasizing on the aspects of teachers, aspects of methods, aspects of pupils, material aspects, and evaluation aspects.

Document Review

The application of Islamic Sharia in Aceh should give birth to a tolerant diversity of life, because the qanun covers these procedures, but Aceh is considered to be intolerant of a number of groups, especially institutions that carry out research in the field of diversity, in this article the author wants to examine further the matter of stipulation. Aceh Province seems intolerant, the author examines this case through a document review then the author observes based on the reality that occurs. The result is that the authors assess that there are Non-Muslim people who igNore qanun regulations in the element of building houses of worship that are carried out without obtaining permission and have Not met the terms and conditions stipulated in the Islamic Sharia qanun, apart from these problems, the Acehnese people in general can accept the differences well. social. Therefore, the attitude of caring for unity in carrying out each other's beliefs and obeying and obeying the law of the qanun must be a shared commitment. Reflecting on and practicing the verses of tolerance will foster mutual respect and tolerance among human beings. Abstrak: Penerapan Syariat Islam di Aceh seharusnya melahirkan kehidupan keberagaman yang toleran, karena qanun telah mengcover tata cara tersebut. Tetapi, Aceh dinilai intoleran oleh sejumlah kalangan, terutama lembaga-lembaga yang melakukan riset di bidang keberagaman. Dalam artikel ini, penulis ingin mengkaji lebih lanjut perihal penetapan Provinsi Aceh sebagai daerah yang terkesan intoleran. Penulis mengkaji kasus ini melalui review dokumen dan mengamati realita yang terjadi. Hasilnya, penulis menilai adanya oknum Non-muslim yang mengabaikan peraturan qanun pada pembangunan rumah ibadah yang dilakukan tanpa izin dan belum memenuhi syarat serta ketentuan yang telah diatur dalam qanun Syariat Islam. Terlepas dari permasalahan tersebut, masyarakat Aceh pada umumnya dapat menerima dengan baik perbedaan-perbedaan sosial. Oleh karenanya, sikap merawat persatuan dalam menjalankan keyakinan masing-masing serta patuh dan taat pada hukum qanun haruslah menjadi komitmen bersama. Merenungi serta mengamalkan ayat-ayat toleransi akan menumbuhkan sikap saling menghormati dan tenggang rasa antar umat manusia.

AbstractObjective:When registered nurses care for patients at the end of life, they are often confronted with different issues related to suffering, dying, and death whether working in hospital or community care. Serious existential questions that challenge nurses’ identities as human beings can arise as a result of these situations. The aim of our study was to describe and gain a deeper understanding of nurses’ existential questions when caring for dying patients.Method:Focus-group interviews with registered nurses who shared similar experiences and backgrounds about experiences in end-of-life care were employed to gain a deeper understanding about this sensitive subject. Focus-group interviews were performed in hospice care, in community care, and in a palliative care unit in western Sweden. A qualitative hermeneutic approach was employed to interpret the data.Results:Nurses’ existential questions balanced between responsibility and guilt in relation to their patients, between fear and courage in relation to being professional caregivers and fellow human beings, and between hope and despair in relation to the other's and their own death.Significance of results:Nurses in end-of-life care experience various emotions from patients related to things physical, spatial, and temporal. When nurses encounter these emotions as expressing a patient's suffering, they lead to challenges of balancing between different feelings in relation to patients, as both professional caregivers and fellow human beings. Nurses can experience growth both professionally and as human beings when caring for patients at the end of life.

Interpretative Research

Orientation: Assessment Centres (ACs) are used globally for the selection and development of candidates. Limited empirical evidence exists of the ethical challenges encountered in the use of ACs, especially in South Africa (SA).Research purpose: Firstly, to explore possible ethical challenges related to ACs in SA from the vantage point of the practitioner and, secondly, to search for possible solutions to these.Motivation for the study: Decisions based on AC outcomes have profound implications for participants and organisations, and it is essential to understand potential ethical challenges to minimise these, specifically in the SA context, given its socio-political history, multiculturalism, diversity and pertinent legal considerations.Research design, approach and method: A qualitative, interpretative research design was chosen. Data were collected by means of a semi-structured survey that was completed by 96 AC practitioners who attended an AC conference. Content analysis and thematic interpretation were used to make sense of the data. The preliminary findings were assessed by a focus group of purposively selected subject-matter experts (n = 16) who provided informed insights, which were incorporated into the final findings. The focus group suggested ways in which specific ethical challenges may be addressed.Main findings: The findings revealed many ethical challenges that can be better understood within a broad framework encompassing 10 themes: Universal ethical values; multicultural global contexts; the regulatory-legal framework for ACs in SA; characteristics of the assessor; psychometric properties of the AC; characteristics of the participant; bias and prejudice; governance of the AC process; ethical culture of the employer organisation and the evasive nature of ethics as a concept.Practical and managerial implications: Considerable risk exists for the unethical use of ACs. An awareness of possible areas of risk may assist AC stakeholders in their search for ethical AC use.Contribution or value-add: The study may contribute to an evidence-based understanding of the ethical aspects of ACs. The recommendations may also benefit all AC stakeholders who wish to use ACs ethically.

Abstract: Literature is a work that describes the problems of life. Literature in describing human life is inseparable from human and humanitarian problems. The problems in human life are inseparable from the lives of its author and readers, so literature is an effective means of translating the inner world of human beings. Literary works are basically the embodiment of the lives of writers' observations of their surrounding lives. Aside from being entertainment, literary works are also a means conveying the ideas and thoughts in terms of culture, social, and even religion. In literature there are constituent elements, namely themes, mandates, figures, characrers, and languages which are all packaged in aesthetic and imaginative forms. These elements contain ideas related to, among others, religious values. Religious values that are able to color the author's creativity, aesthetics, and imagination include the values of faith, scientific, moral, and social values. These values are the basic ones that form the main foothold in the world of Islamic religious education. This proves that literary works can be a means of transforming written and implied values of life in addition to contributing to the readers and the connoisseurs of literature.Keywords: Educational values, literary values, character
