Cicilia Damayanti — Sat, 29 Apr 2023 11:05:45 +0700

The advent of digital technology has brought significant changes to political life, particularly in the use of big data for election campaigns. However, the use of psychographics in data analysis raises concerns about the manipulation of human behaviour and the potential harm it may cause. This article aims to explore the impact of psychographics on society in the digital era and the need for multiculturalism in computer programming. This study aims to examine the use of psychographics in political campaigns and its impact on society. Additionally, the study aims to highlight the need for multiculturalism in computer programming and the importance of data protection. The research method used in this study is book analysis, focusing on politics, technology, and big data. The study analyses the case of Cambridge Analytica and how it used psychographics to manipulate human behaviour. The study shows that the use of psychographics can lead to the creation of paradigms that promote hopeful ignorance, leading to a homogeneous society that may be vulnerable to societal explosions. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of multiculturalism in computer programming to avoid bias and the need for data protection through cryptography. The study concludes that the use of psychographics in data analysis must be critically examined to avoid manipulation and harm to society. Furthermore, computer programs must embrace multiculturalism to avoid bias, and data protection must be prioritized to maintain privacy and security. Additionally, political candidates should be investigated thoroughly to reveal their authenticity beyond their ethos.

The focus of this paper is on the concept of "Justice as a Government-Society Collectivity in Eradicating Corruption and Legal Injustice in Indonesia" viewed from Plato's point of view. This paper departs from the desire that justice must be upheld as fairly as possible. Because justice is a primary need that must be met in order to achieve universal welfare, for all Indonesian citizens, not for particular ones. This paper aims to explore the fundamental concepts of justice, then relate them to the reality of the Indonesian nation. Everyone has a desired version of justice to apply. This paper has its own uniqueness, namely taking the concepts of justice from the book “Plato-The Republic”, and this book is the main source. The method used is the method of literature and case studies that are relevant to the concept of justice offered. The cases presented are cases related to legal injustice and corruption which are more in line with the focus of this paper. The author finds that to achieve justice, there must be collaboration between the government and society. Collaboration means that there is dialogue to determine a universal decision. Dialogue produces decisions that are right on target and acceptable to the public. One-sided decision-making can even be detrimental to many parties and the emergence of various irregularities, one of which is corruption. Unilateral decisions that give rise to injustice in making and applying the law

Diocesan priests’ moving or transferring abroad - at any motives – will affect both positively or negatively to the diocese they leave. Human mobility which is supported by the nowadays advanced and varied transportation facilities, enabling the greater possibility of this mobility. This research is discussing on the instruction of the Propaganda Fide entitled La Missione Universale issued issued on April 25, 2001, which regulates the diocesan priests’ mobility. Through the legal research method, with a juridical-normative approach, this study aims to analyse the degree of legal synchronisation between the instruction and the laws above it. It also analyses the legal synchronisation between the instruction and its implementation at a lower level, namely the follow-up by the Italian Bishops' Conference in the form of agreement document. The research shows that the instruction is corresponding to the laws above it, and its implementation at the diocesan level is in line with the instruction above it. Previously, the moving abroad of a diocesan priest is seen from negative side of the disciplinary point of view only. The instruction now puts it positively in a broader context, that is, in the frame of missionary collaboration and communion among particular Churches. Inter-diocesan co-operation in the form of exchange of priests for a specific pastoral ministry is an effective means to carry out the missionary mandate of the Church. The inter-diocesan collaboration of the priest exchange for a special pastoral service is an effective means to undergo the mission of the Church.

Sigillum Sacramentale: Rahasia Sakramental Pengakuan Dosa. Studi Kanonik

Daniel Ortega Galed — Thu, 04 May 2023 12:42:44 +0700

One of the special graces possessed by a priest is the authority to act in persona Christi capitis when granting absolution for the sins of the penitent. They received this authority from Christ himself, the only One who could forgive human sins. However, that grace also brings a great duty. They are bound by a divine obligation to keep the seal of confession. This canonical study will describe how the concept of the sigillum sacramentale or the inviolable sacramental seal of confession is developed in canon law. It will also explain what is meant by divulging the seal of confession directly and indirectly. From the perspective of the Penal Code of Canon law, it will also discuss canonical sanctions for priests who violate them and how the punishments will be revoked. Finally, this study is expected to foster seriousness and responsibility for priests in serving the Sacrament of Penance, the sacrament that reconciles humans with God.

These efforts cannot only be limited to academics at the contextual level, but must also exist in the wider community through the praxis level as a form of confirmation of the values that have been conceptualized

The Investigating the Oppression of Toba Batak Women: Call for Empowerment and Woman Leadership

Megawati None Naibaho — Fri, 12 May 2023 00:00:00 +0700

This research has been developed around the two contrasting views/themes of the Toba Batak women's oppression and call for women's empowerment and leadership. It initially explored the philosophy of the Toba Batak society while identifying the forces of Toba Batak women's suppression. It has examined and critically analyzed the Toba Batak society and its patriarchal culture. It has been discovered that the Toba Batak women are subordinated because of an attitude or disposition dictated and perpetuated by the cultural belief systems, especially the social system of the clan (marga), which places women under the authority of men. Consequently, women are considered mere objects to men, particularly in childbearing, because they must be available to produce male children; otherwise, they suffer exclusion from the clan system, including being a leader. In order to gather data and explore the problem more deeply, this research uses a case study and a qualitative method through a literature study. Rethinking Toba Batak Philosophy and family practices involves rethinking the Toba Batak kinship arrangement and embodying it through substitute liberating, non-discriminating practices. In order to construct space to promote equality between men and women in Toba Batak society, the rethinking and counter-acting of patriarchal Toba Batak philosophy and family practices is essential and fundamental. This way, a cultural analysis will create a more appropriate proposal for addressing women's subjection. A culturalist approach (like promoting newer beliefs through habitual alternative practices) may be similarly called forth to foster women empowerment.
