The rapid development of digital technology has significantly increased public access to online activities, including online gambling, which has emerged as a serious social problem in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze the impact of online gambling on the mental health and social behavior of young people. This research employed a descriptive method with a survey approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to young respondents who had experience or exposure to online gambling activities. The findings indicate that involvement in online gambling has a significant impact on mental health disorders such as stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. In addition, online gambling contributes to a decline in social interaction quality, increased family conflict, social withdrawal, and reduced productivity. Behavioral changes such as impulsivity and decreased self-control were also identified among respondents. These results demonstrate that online gambling not only affects individuals psychologically but also disrupts social relationships and family harmony. Therefore, comprehensive preventive efforts are needed through digital literacy enhancement, family involvement, and psychological support services to protect young people from the negative consequences of online gambling.

The background of this research stems from the declining interest of young people in traditional music due to the dominance of popular culture and modernization. However, the emergence of content creators who utilize digital platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram has opened new opportunities for the preservation of traditional music. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of several Minangkabau music content creators. The results show that social media plays a crucial role in the regeneration process of traditional music through three main functions: information (promotion), interaction, and motivation. By presenting engaging visuals, combining traditional music with modern elements, and encouraging interactive audience participation, social media effectively attracts young people to learn and appreciate traditional music. In addition, regeneration is the process of inheriting cultural values ​​through efforts to maintain the sustainability of performing arts by adapting the presentation methods and performance spaces to suit the times, so that traditional arts remain acceptable to modern society.

The current education system is facing a crucial dilemma: the intensifying focus on cognitive achievement amidst the specific challenges faced by Generation Z. Junior high school students aged 12–15, who are digital natives, are at risk of reduced social interaction and mental health issues due to high screen time. Addressing this urgency, this study aims to describe the strategic role of dance arts education in shaping character and creativity, and to identify implementation solutions at SMP Negeri 1 Wonogiri. This descriptive qualitative study utilized 8 students active in dance as primary subjects, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that dance arts, through an embodied learning approach based on physical movement, is highly effective in cultivating character. Values such as discipline, which is transferred from the punctuality required in practice to general school life , collective responsibility , and self-confidence that overcomes social awkwardness, grew significantly. Furthermore, dance reinforces authentic cooperation and cultural appreciation. In terms of creativity, the activity encourages movement exploration, improvisation, and creative problem-solving. Psychologically, dance practice functions as a positive coping mechanism that effectively lowers adolescent stress levels. Although constraints exist, such as limited instructional time (80 minutes per week) , adaptive solutions like strengthening extracurricular activities and the peer tutoring system are being implemented. This research concludes that dance arts education is an essential and strategic medium for developing holistic competencies, including the 4Cs (Critical Thinking, Creativity, Collaboration, and Communication) and the Profil Pelajar Pancasila.

Abstract. Indonesia is an archipelagic country with a rich and diverse cultural heritage, reflected in its traditional clothing from various regions. However, with the advancement of time and the rapid flow of globalization, the younger generation's attention to traditional clothing has declined. A survey of youth aged 19–22 years found that most of them do not fully recognize the types, names, and origins of Indonesian traditional clothing, although they acknowledge the importance of preserving cultural heritage. To address this issue, an educational media in the form of an interactive board game was designed to reintroduce traditional clothing to young people in an engaging way. This study employed qualitative and quantitative methods, including questionnaires, interviews, observations, and focus group discussions. The board game features character pawns representing traditional attire from six major regions of Indonesia, highlighting each area's distinctive visual traits. Through this game, it is expected that youth will gain knowledge and foster a sense of love and pride in the nation's cultural heritage.

The vulnerability of the younger generation to negative exposure to new media (internet and social media) has the potential to weaken national resilience, especially the aspect of family resilience. Family resilience as a fundamental element is disrupted by negative broadcasts, the rise of hate speech and information (fake news and misleading narratives) that are widely found in new media. For this reason, it is necessary to strengthen national solidarity through the idea of ​​forming Pancasila family resilience that protects the younger generation from the destructive threats of social media. This study aims to determine the extent to which Pancasila family resilience can strengthen the spirit of national solidarity of the younger generation. The study used a literature study method with a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques used primary and secondary sources with data collection techniques using data triangulation. The results of the study stated that (1) The threat of weakening national values ​​arises from digital developments marked by the rise of new media in the form of the internet and social media; (2) The negative influence of new media appears in negative video broadcasts, the phenomenon of hate speech and misleading narratives, and fake news that creates social unrest in society; (3) The concept of Pancasila family resilience is needed to strengthen the spirit of national solidarity and prevent the negative impacts of new media among the younger generation. The conclusion of the research is that the concept of Pancasila family resilience is expected to be able to encourage the spirit of Pancasila in preventing various negative impacts of the digital technology phenomenon, especially the negative influence of new media on the spirit of nationalism among the young generation of Indonesia.
