A home away from home for adolescents: narratives on residential care life in eThekwini
No full textSubmitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master in Child and Youth Care, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2024.In South Africa, the escalating necessity to place young people in residential care facilities
is a response to the growing population of vulnerable and orphaned children. The
breakdown of traditional family dynamics and various social issues that they are faced
with contribute to this situation. Research exploring the experiences and support that
adolescents in residential care encounter is sparse. This highlights the significance of the
current research study, especially as it seeks to explore the perspectives of the
adolescents regarding their residential care life experiences without a narrow focus on
specific aspects of residential care. A qualitative approach was used to explore
adolescents’ experiences of twenty-six adolescents in a residential care facility within the
eThekwini region. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to gain insight into
participants’ experiences of residential care, including the reasons behind their
placement, their daily lives and challenges within residential care, and their experiences
of formal and informal support. The study was guided by the Maslow Hierarchy theoretical
framework.
The participants included thirteen males and thirteen females of different racial
backgrounds. Using thematic analysis, six themes and fifteen sub-themes emerged from
the data. The findings revealed that the primary reasons for children’s placement in
residential care were found to be parental alcohol and substance use, destitution, the
need for safety and protection, the challenges of education and abandonment. The
participants had mixed experiences of the residential care facility, as both positive and
negative experiences were reported by the child and youth care workers and social
workers. The participants who had positive experiences with the child and youth care
workers felt supported and cared for, while those with negative experiences felt victimised
and not liked by the child and youth care workers. Some participants felt abandoned by
their families while in residential care, as they did not visit them and did not receive phone calls from their families. However, some did receive support from their families, such as
weekend visits or phone calls to check how they were coping at the residential care
facility. Lastly, the study findings revealed that some participants had negative
experiences of peer support in the form of victimisation by their peers while at the
residential care facility.
In order to improve residential care life, the study recommends that child and youth care
workers based in residential care facilities receive training on how to improve adolescents’
experiences of residential care life through building effective, protective and caring
relationships. Furthermore, child and youth care workers should encourage family contact
to sustain family support while their children are in residential care facilities. Lastly, child
and youth care workers and social workers must maintain equal treatment among the
children and young people.
A youth empowerment model designed to tackle school violence in South Africa
No full textSchool-based violence is of major concern in the South African schooling system, particularly in secondary schools. School-based violence has a negative impact on the physical, social, cognitive and emotional well-being of learners and teachers. To compound matters, family and community environment also play a role in escalating school violence. There is a need to develop interventions that are evidence-based and developmental in nature to address the issue of reducing school-based violence. Youth empowerment can be used as a helpful strategy to address the issue of school-based violence. This scholarly book focuses on using the framework of youth empowerment to address the issue of school-based violence. Through sound research, the author proposes that schools should involve learners in decision-making around school policies and design strategies to address school violence to create safer schools and a better school climate. The author further posits using key aspects of youth empowerment in school violence campaigns and programmes to increase youth motivation to collectively influence changes within their school through a process of shared decision-making, collective vision, and partnership with young people

Way of the Warrior: Battling Issues of Interlok with the Sword of Wisdom
No full textAbdullah Hussain's novel, Interlok, has been the source of discussion and conflict among various factions in the multi-ethnic and multireligious community of Malaysia. As an alternative to some of the current negative impressions of the book, and accusations directed at the author, this essay presents a view of the novel and of the author's motivations. It draws on two elements, evidences from the text itself, and an inward level or esoteric interpretation of the text. From an approach of Hindu religious and spiritual doctrines, and universal metaphysical truths from a Traditionalist perspective, it concludes that a fair and unbiased textual analysis which foregrounds Truth allows a genuine reader to understand what the author actually wrote, and to see beyond the conflict and accusations.
Keywords: Hindu esoterism, discernment, Traditionalist perspective, human integratio
Bahasa Kiasan dalam Lagu "Mati Hidup Semula": Analisis Semantik Inkuisitif
No full textThe lexical selection in song lyrics requires a serious thought from the author because the lyrics should be poetic, while the desired message is to be accurately communicated to the listeners. The purpose of this study is to describe the meaning and the mind of the author through the figurative language used in the song "Mati Hidup Semula". Two implicit expressions have been selected for analysis, namely "Dulu hidup kurasakan mati" [I used to live but felt dead] and "Setelah mati kuhidup semula" [After being dead I am alive again]. This study is a qualitative analysis by applying the inquisitive semantic approach proposed by Nor Hashimah Jalaluddin (2014). The combination of data, theory, philosophy and culture are able to produce meaningful interpretations of the two implicit expressions so as to illustrate the author's mind. The results of the analysis show that "life" and "death" are not only antonymic at a literal level but have a secondary meaning of dualism. The selection of these two expressions was not done arbitrarily but through the serious thinking of the author.

Kajian ini bertujuan menghuraikan makna dan akal budi penulis melalui bahasa kiasan yang digunakan dalam lagu "Mati Hidup Semula". Dua ungkapan implisit telah dipilih untuk dianalisis, iaitu "Dulu hidup kurasakan mati" dan "Setelah mati kuhidup semula". Kajian ini berbentuk analisis kualitatif dengan mengaplikasikan pendekatan semantik inkuisitif yang diasaskan oleh Nor Hashimah Jalaluddin (2014). Gandingan data, teori, falsafah dan budaya dapat menghasilkan huraian makna dua ungkapan implisit tersebut sehingga memperlihatkan akal budi penulis. Hasil analisis mendapati hubungan kata "hidup" dengan "mati" bukan sahaja bersifat antonim pada peringkat harfiah tetapi mendukung makna tambahan secara dualisme. Pemilihan kedua-dua ungkapan tersebut tidak dilakukan sewenang-wenang tetapi telah difikirkan dengan teliti oleh penulisnya.

Kaum Jawara yang diwakili oleh Ce Mamat dengan Dewan Rakyatnya mencoba merebut kekuasaan secara radikal kerena di dalam pemrintahan Keresidenan pada saat itu masih menggunakan pejabat bekas kolonial. Sedangkan kaum Ulama yang diwakili oleh Tb. Achmad Chatib yang duduk di pemerintahan berupaya mempertahankan Karesidenan oleh pemberontakan Ce Mamat.

Elements of influential society at that time such as Jawara, Ulama and the movement at that time had different point of views after independence. The Jawara represented by Ce Mamat and his Dewan Rakyat tried to seize power radically because in the residency government at that time still used the former colonial officials.

The rebels generally consist of the Jawara who had been involved in the 1926 uprising in Banten and they were hurt by the colonial government at that time especially from Priangan. This movement was successfully crushed after President Soekarno came to The Residency and issued a Notice to dissolve the Dewan Rakyat
