In an evolutive context, the concept of predation applied to the Natural Kingdom appears as an anticipation to our species’ cultural predatory behaviors. They include dynamic components associated with violence linked to social prevalence, reproductive behavior, territoriality, and access to food resources, and, in general, to aggressive or maladaptive behaviors. Another view of our “Cultural tectonic plate” has been lucidly expressed by Eduardo Colombo (2012): “the structure of our basic knowledge represents an epistemological field built on the old archetype of submission, where the subject is subdued by the networks that weave the practices and discourses that condition it; let's say to be brief, a subject determined by the structure of the system.\" Based on the behaviors of the chimpanzee and the bonobo, who share a common ancestor to Homo, Boehm (2012) poses that humans would keep behavioral styles from chimpanzees (tendency to conflict, male predominance), and bonobos (preventive behavior, female predominance). This anticipates a potential behavioral bipolarity with uneven prevalence distribution among individuals and social organizations. Based on social repression or “socialization”, cultural strata of variable “thickness” have been constructed on top of drives implicit to our animal condition. Nevertheless, it failed in their deactivation, only in reformulating or repressing them.","PeriodicalId":445885,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ‏The 10th International Conference on Humanities, Psychology and Social Sciences","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129601112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Democratization, freedom of speech, and progressive economic development have become the main features of ‘enlightenments’ of post-authoritarian era. At the same time, it is surprising to note that the ‘tradition’ of KKN, the Indonesian acronym of corruption, collusion nepotism used to be addressed Soeharto’s dictatorship regime, remains unchanged. In response to this paradox of reform, Ehma Ainun Nadjib (Cak Nun), Indonesian Muslim Intellectual who engaged since the very beginning reform process, initiated Maiyah movement. This new form of socio-religious movement is based on his creative writing activities that have been produced more than 70 books, countless essays and poetry, and a wide variety of community engagements. Together with Kiaikanjeng, a fusion orchestra combining Javanese gamelan and modern musical instruments, he has been successfully promoting religious tolerance, urging deconstructive methods of interpreting religious texts, and initiating a unique way of community empowerment using music and theatrical performances around Indonesia and across the globe. Their performances in London, Berlin, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Rome, Cairo, Rabat, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur, and many other parts of the world have not only left the ‘sacred music’ they played as an inspiration of minaddulumati ilannur (from the darkness to the light), but also created a new horizon of understanding the very basic principle of humanity, Maiyah meaning ‘togetherness’. Drawing from ethnographic research in two Maiyah circles in two different urban settings of Surabaya and Yogyakarta Indonesia, this paper explores Cak Nun’s legacy in offering new ‘lights’ of bottom-up aspiration of nationalism through what he calls Indonesia adalah Bagian dari Desa Saya (Indonesia is part of my village).","PeriodicalId":445885,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ‏The 10th International Conference on Humanities, Psychology and Social Sciences","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122325635","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seeing these images, which represent the ideal beauty over and over again in the media, make ordinary women to compare their body proportions with them and have upsetting emotions when they don’t meet these standards, which are expected. Nevertheless, most of the time ordinary women are unaware of the fact that the media usually applies photo shop filters to the beautiful women images before conveying them and they also disregard the fact that some of the women who represent the ideal beauty have had some kind of plastic surgery. Thus, the media, which create a fantasy world with the ideal beauty, make ordinary women to feel envy towards this illusionary representation and lead them to take action by applying strict diet programs to feel light. However, young adolescent girls who are in a vulnerable age period are more easily affected by these images and feel discontent about their own bodies. The over-exaggerated slim women images often cause disorders in young adolescent girls’ eating habits and sometimes lead to fatal illnesses such as anorexia and bulimia, as a result. Since they are living in a period of their lives in which peer acceptance is highly significant, young adolescent girls who want to look beautiful, start strict diets or they seldom eat during the day. Furthermore, they feel the stress of how they will lose weight in a short amount of time and they slowly become anorexia by controlling their appetite. The aim of this paper is to discuss how the media images of ideal beauty lead young adolescent girls to suffer from eating disorders by presenting a literature review.","PeriodicalId":445885,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of ‏The 10th International Conference on Humanities, Psychology and Social Sciences","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124954615","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
