adolescence is a time full of curiosity, a time of fun and a time that will determine the future. Adolescence is also a transition period from children to more serious figures. The period when individuals search for identity and have a very high sense of curiosity, including sexual relations, is no exception. Due to high curiosity and the increasingly rapid development of science and technology, it is easy for anyone to access pornographic content and things. Moreover, teenagers are vulnerable to being tempted by lust and are not yet clear about distinguishing between what they should do and what they should not do. Pornography of teenagers is not just about watching pornographic things but can rise to serious levels such as pornographic action, early marriage, free sex, promiscuity and acts of rape. So if this happens, who is to blame? Due to concerns about this, the author conducted research on the impact of pornography on teenagers, where this research used the literature study method, and obtained results If pornography addiction in teenagers has a huge impact on brain capacity and has a negative impact on the individual and their social abilities.

The Economic Role of Sasak Women in a Patriarchal Culture

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0700

The Sasak community of Lombok is deeply rooted in tradition and Islamic values, which often place women in a subordinate role within the social hierarchy. Despite this, Sasak women play a central role in sustaining household and community economies through their engagement in various economic sectors, such as traditional weaving, local trade, and migrant labor. This article explores the economic contributions of Sasak women and how they navigate the constraints of a patriarchal cultural system. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study draws on field observations and in-depth interviews with women working in SukararaÔÇÖs weaving industry, traditional markets, and among returning migrant workers. The findings reveal that although women are often confined by cultural norms to domestic roles, they demonstrate remarkable agency and adaptability in supporting their families financially. Their labor, while not always publicly recognized, becomes essential in local economic resilience. Moreover, Sasak women strategically negotiate their dual roles as economic actors and bearers of cultural expectations, often balancing between conformity and subtle resistance. This research contributes to the discourse on gender and local development by highlighting the invisible yet vital role of women in sustaining rural economies in traditional societies. It suggests the need for more culturally-sensitive gender empowerment strategies that acknowledge both the limitations and strengths within local contexts.

Child-Friendly Schools (SRA) is a government program that aims to create a safe, comfortable, and supportive educational environment for children to grow and develop optimally. Although the government's commitment to realizing SRA is strong, implementation on the ground still faces various complex challenges that require in-depth analysis to identify appropriate improvement strategies. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Child-Friendly School policy components in elementary schools by identifying the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats faced in the implementation of the policy and formulating effective development strategies. This study uses a qualitative approach with SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis of the SRA implementation policy. The implementation of the SRA policy in elementary schools has great potential for success with strong policy support and high commitment from stakeholders. However, comprehensive strategies are needed to address gaps in understanding, resource constraints, and weak coordination. Strategic recommendations include developing continuous training programs, strengthening technology-based monitoring systems, increasing budget allocation, and developing adaptive and contextual SRA models to ensure the long-term sustainability of implementation.
