Suicide Notes: Spectacles of Exaggeration Expressions Used by Males and Females
No full textKeywords: gender and language, language stereotypes, suicide notes.Studies focusing on the topic of gender and language which have been conducted, in general, are mostly highlighting the language differences of males and females in some research settings, for example, work places, advertisements, novels, and songs.Reflecting to that, this study is aimed to analyze differences of language use, especially in the use of exaggeration expressions – the use of negative emotions, empty adjectives, italic expressions, and hyperboles, by males and females in suicide notes. One of the reasons following it is that researching language stereotypes in suicide notes convey facts which could not be found in other previous research settings since suicidal attempts lead people to a condition called ‘tunnel vision’ – a condition which shuts people from outside themselves.Using 14 suicide notes from male and female actors and writers who came from English-speaking countries which were gathered using the Internet-based data collection, this study employed the qualitative and quantitative research design. Using LIWC tool and HIP method as the research instruments; meanwhile, presenting the analysis of the findings by deriving it from some gender and language theories, such as Jespersen (1922), Lakoff (1975), and Tannen (1990), the results of this study could be drawn.Upon completing the data analysis, the findings showed that the exaggeration expressions which have dominant occurrence in the suicide notes is hyperboles. Moreover, it is also shown that in writing the suicide notes, both of the male and female subjects were using all of the four aspects of exaggeration expressions–negative emotions, empty adjectives, italic expressions, and hyperboles. Although the females participated more in using empty adjectives, italic expressions, and hyperboles, the production of negative emotions and italic expressions is dominated by the male subjects. The conditions during the suicidal attempts, the subjects’ positions, and also the stereotypes are the causes behind the results of the findings.In conclusion, the use of language by the male and female subjects in the suicide notes is following the language stereotypes, yet at the same time breaking them. In another way, it can be inferred that the male and female subjects of this study use language differently, yet similarly in writing the suicide notes. Nevertheless, this study is far from perfect, and it still needs improvements to show more of the gender representations and also to fill the lack of this study in order to contribute comprehensive knowledge of the still vibrant issue to be discussed–gender and language stereotypes
The Effectiveness of Implementing Tax Incentives for Sales Tax on Luxury Goods in the Manufacturing Industry during the COVID-19 Pandemic (a Case Study in Indonesia)
No full textThis study discusses the analysis of the effectiveness of implementing tax incentives for luxury goods in the manufacturing industry during the COVID-19 pandemic, where the provision of tax incentives for luxury goods is one of the government’s concrete efforts to minimize risks that will occur in aspects and fields affected by the pandemic. This incentive is officially granted through the issuance of PMK 20/PMK.010/21, concerning Sales Tax on Luxury Goods on the Delivery of Taxable Goods Classified as Luxury in the Form of Certain Motorized Vehicles Covered by the Government for the 2021 Fiscal Year, which was effective from 26 February 2021–01 April 2021, and was then accompanied by changes and the renewal of sales tax on luxury goods regulations during the pandemic. The author conducts an analysis using quantitative and qualitative methods (mixed method research) using secondary data and primary data, where secondary data are obtained from motor vehicle sales data before and after the COVID-19 pandemic from Gaikindo, which are processed using SPSS with normality tests and paired-sample T-tests. Then, for primary data, the author distributes questionnaires to Gaikindo and then processes them using multiple regression analysis. It is hoped that from the results of this analysis of the implementation of this incentive in the manufacturing industry, it can be found from the sales of motorized vehicles before and after the COVID-19 pandemic that the policy steps taken by the government were indeed effective and provided benefits not only to entrepreneurs engaged in manufacturing, but also to the community as consumers, so that what is described to the public so far is in accordance with the reality on the ground

Full text linkPeasant is an occupation mostly found in rural areas. Peasant has no land (landless agriculturalist) and only cultivates the landlord's land (Holmes, 1983, p. 734). In this situation, peasant tends to be marginalized or receives no rights in agricultural production factors, loan access and even market access. This is worsen by the entry of capitalism to the rural areas that marginalizes the peasant's right even more. Marginalization to peasant continues. Here, the author called it as Post-Peasant Marginalization. Post-peasant marginalization shows that being lack of rights to the agricultural resources, peasant will still and continue to be in the life circle without fulfillment of basic needs of education and economy, which in this case, the income. Using quantitative method, the author conducted a survey in 3 villages in Tumpang Subdistrict: Wringinsongo Village, with the sample of 45 respondents, Jeru Village of 48 respondents and Pulungdowo Village of 48 respondents. With Kendall correlation analysis with the significance rate of 5% between the variable of education level and income, it was found that the score of .sig was 0.00; 0.001; 0.001 respectively which was less than the score of .sig 0.005 that shows the significant relation between the level of education and level of income. It was found that the majority people in the village who works as peasant have only elementary school education and monthly income between IDR 500.000-IDR 1,000,000 or between 38USD-75USD. This shows that the low education is correlated to the low income. The low aspect of education and economy has indicated that peasant has still no access to decent life. Peasant has been the marginalized community in the midst of massive development in all sectors. Post-peasant marginalization shows that being lack of rights to the agricultural sector, peasant will still and continue to be in the poor life circle as indicated by the low level of education and level of income

DO INDONESIAN MIGRANT DOMESTIC WORKERS ENGAGE WITH HOMELAND POLITICS?
Full text linkInternational labour mobility has increased Indonesian female migrant domestic workers\u27 involvement in transnational labour organisations. Because of their precarious work, advocacy and unions are crucial to protecting them overseas. This paper examines the debates on the political activism of Indonesian female domestic workers and discusses the gap that migration scholars have not yet addressed. The study\u27s conceptual core employs the concept of migrant political transnationalism, which generates the intersection of migrant citizenship and receiving country sovereignty. The author has reviewed thirty journals using exclusion and inclusion criteria with a qualitative narrative literature review. Grassroots advocacy for Indonesian domestic workers primarily emerged in Hong Kong. On the one hand, territorial normativity and sovereignty in the receiving country may prohibit migrants from participating in politics. However, they still can engage in extra-electoral politics as non-citizens. Domestic workers advocate for their rights through lobbying, protests, and rallies. On the other hand, electoral political participation in homeland politics, which political transnational scholars rarely discuss, and their contribution to mobilising votes abroad is also necessary. This finding motivates the investigation\u27s research agenda: Do Indonesian female domestic migrant workers engage with their electoral homeland politics
