Social media is now the first tool of interaction between humans with a very large number of users worldwide. The potential of social media to spread information in a short time and on a wider scale has affected many areas of life, especially in the process of forming individual personalities. This study examines the effects of social media on the character of college or university students, both for good and bad. On the one hand, it is noted that social media helps build bonds between people and helps in broadening one's perspective and even supports personal growth through social interaction in a positive way.

This article is titled "The Role of Theology Students as Agents of Change in Realizing Church Unity in the Modern Era." Church unity is a fundamental principle in Christianity that emphasizes the importance of collaboration among denominations. In today's increasingly pluralistic society, divisions and conflicting theological perspectives pose significant challenges to constructive dialogue and cooperation among churches. Therefore, theology students have a significant role in advocating for unity through the Ecumenical movement. Using qualitative research methods that focus on library data collection, this article explores how theology students can contribute to fostering dialogue, initiating social service projects, and utilizing social media to promote messages of unity. Their active involvement in these efforts is expected to bridge gaps, reduce stereotypes, and enhance collaboration among churches. Through these initiatives, theology students not only gain a deeper understanding of church unity but also become transformative agents who embody the values ​​of love and cooperation. As a result, the church can emerge as a more united witness in the world, reflecting the inclusive love of Christ.  

Technology is essential to the efficient teaching and learning process. But technological advancement does not ensure that everyone can take full use of it. Acquiring technical literacy or knowing how to utilize it involves more than just learning how to read; it also involves being able to use, access, and integrate technology into the teaching and learning process. Although a lot of people use the internet, not everyone is able to fully utilize its benefits, particularly in the field of education. Learning can be done more quickly and in a number of ways, particularly while learning English. In our nation, English is a foreign language, and students will have a lot of trouble using it. Therefore, in order to help students understand and avoid becoming disinterested in the process of learning English, teachers need to possess additional skills. As a result, providing the internet and educational websites as resources for learning English will benefit both educators and learners. While the use of the internet for educational purposes is not new in our nation, not all institutions are able to put it into practice because of a lack of necessary resources, including computer equipment and internet access.

Pancasila, as the ideology of the Indonesian nation, serves as the foundation for national and state life. However, its implementation journey is not without various pros and cons arising within society. This article aims to explore these dynamics through a comprehensive analysis of arguments supporting and opposing Pancasila as an ideology. On one hand, Pancasila is seen as a solution for uniting the diversity of the Indonesian nation and offers universal values such as unity, justice, and humanity. On the other hand, criticisms of Pancasila arise from various perspectives, including inconsistencies in its application and potential misuse in practical politics. Using a qualitative approach based on literature reviews and interviews with experts, this article concludes that the sustainability of Pancasila as an ideology depends on reinterpreting its values in the modern context and a strong commitment from all elements of the nation to implement it authentically.

This study aims to explore how the integration of the Qur'an, Sunnah, Ijma', and Qiyas becomes the main foundation in building a sharia economic framework that is relevant to modern challenges. The Qur'an, as the main source of Islamic law, provides holistic and transformative guidelines, while the Sunnah serves as an explanation and reinforcement of the principles contained in the Qur'an. On the other hand, Ijma' and Qiyas play a crucial role in formulating new laws that are not explicitly mentioned in the sacred texts, thus enabling the application of sharia in the context of contemporary economic problems that continue to develop. This study uses a literature study approach to analyze various theoretical and empirical perspectives related to the application of the four sources of law in sharia economics. The research findings show that the integration of the four sources of Islamic law not only forms a strong normative basis but also provides an understanding in responding to the needs of modern society. In this way, sharia economics can accommodate the principles of justice, poverty, and inclusiveness, which are the essence of building an economic system oriented towards collective welfare. In addition, this study critiques the challenges in implementing sharia principles, especially in the process of interpretation and adaptation to global dynamics. The limitations of conventional methodologies in integrating legal sources often become obstacles in creating solutions that are appropriate to local and global contexts. Therefore, this study suggests the need for a multidisciplinary approach involving collaboration between scholars, economists, and policy makers to ensure that sharia economics can develop consistently and relevantly to the needs of the times. These findings not only enrich academic discourse but also provide practical contributions in efforts to build a more just, sustainable, and Islamic-value-based economic order.  

This study discusses the practice of gold pawn in Islamic Pawnshops from the perspective of Islamic economics, focusing on the validity of the contract and the determination of ujrah (storage fees). The gold pawn product in Islamic Pawnshops involves three contracts: qardh (loan), rahn (collateral), and ijarah (storage fees). The combination of these contracts is often debated, as it is considered a hybrid contract prohibited under certain standards, such as AAOIFI. The research findings indicate that these contracts are carried out separately and in accordance with Sharia principles, making them valid. The determination of ujrah, according to the Fatwa of DSN-MUI, should be based on storage costs, not the loan amount. However, in practice, ujrah is often calculated based on the loan value, which could lead to unfairness. The results of this study show that the gold pawn practice in Islamic Pawnshops generally complies with Sharia principles, although improvements in transparency and the determination of ujrah fees are necessary. Recommendations are provided to enhance education and refine the contract mechanism to better align with Sharia.

The short story Laki Sejati by Putu Wijaya is one of the works of Indonesian literature that depicts the dynamics of human life and internal conflicts. This research aims to analyze the intrinsic elements in the short story, including themes, characters and characterization, plot, setting, point of view, and mandate. Through this analysis, it is revealed how these intrinsic elements are used by the author to build a story that is evocative and full of meaning. The results of the analysis show that the main theme of this short story is the search for identity and the true meaning of "masculinity".

This study analyzes the differences between the neoliberal and social democratic paradigms in poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia, by adding an Islamic Economic perspective as an alternative. The neoliberal paradigm focuses on free market mechanisms, deregulation, and minimizing the role of the state, but often exacerbates social inequality. In contrast, the social democratic paradigm balances the role of the market and state intervention through resource redistribution and protection of vulnerable groups through sustainable social programs. Islamic economics offers a complementary approach oriented towards the principles of distributive justice, balance, and solidarity, by integrating spiritual values ​​into socio-economic policies. A qualitative approach is used in this study, with policy analysis of programs such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and the National Health Insurance (JKN). The results show that the social democratic paradigm is more effective in reducing poverty systemically than neoliberalism, especially through increasing access to education, health, and social protection. However, budget constraints, corruption, and infrastructure gaps remain significant challenges. The Islamic Economic perspective emphasizes the importance of zakat, waqf, and infaq as instruments of wealth redistribution that have the potential to strengthen inclusive and sustainable poverty alleviation policies. This study recommends strengthening the synergy between the paradigm of social democracy and the values ​​of Islamic Economics to create policies that are more effective, equitable, and oriented towards the welfare of society holistically.
