Abstract - During the Distance Learning (DL) period, WhatsApp became the main communication medium between teachers and students, which is mediated by parents. This study aims to describe the interactions that occur between teachers and parents through social media. The study used the interaction theory, specifically the theory of interaction and interaction process analysis and group development. The method used is virtual ethnography. The study findings illustrate that interaction patterns between teachers, parents, and students for the teaching-learning process are slightly different when they are done through online media. Teachers are more likely to interact with parents in a two-way communication, where parents will then interact with students regarding the teachers’ messages. The interactions done are common, prominently in the form of task behaviors and socio- emotional behaviors. The emerged interactions involved six phases: evaluation, control, decision making, tension management, and integration. There’s a balanced interaction ratio between the task field and the socio-emotional field.

The election of the village head is a democracy celebration for such communities as that in Kedungjati Village. The people of Kedungjati Village have strong ties among themselves so they know the prospective village head on a personal level. However cheating is still often encountered, one of whose elements is the practice of money politics. This study aims to explain the rational actions of the people of Kedungjati Village regarding the acceptance of money politics. The previous election of the candidate for Village Head of Kedungjati was won by the candidate with the least encounters of money politics. This study uses a qualitative approach with observations and interviews. The subjects of this research are the people of Kedungjati Village who accepted money politics when the election for the Village Head of Kedungjati was in progress. The results showed that the act of accepting bribes was based on a utilitarian mindset. People consider money politics as a tradition. The people of Kedungjati Village will come to the TPS with sangu money or money given by the candidates. Money politics is accepted because of the assumption that rejecting luck is not a good thing. Since the beginning, the community has known the motives and goals of the candidates. But on the other hand, society has its own criteria for candidates without coercion put in effect by money politics.

This research analyzes the 2018 West Java Provincial Election, more specifically the case of the hashtag campaign strategy, “2019 to Replace the President”, on the increase in the votes for the Sudrajat-Ahmad Saikhu ticket. The research method is qualitative and the type of research is descriptive-analytic. Data are collected through in-depth interviews and library research. The research finds that the movement had the following impacts: First, it contributed to the voting preference of those who previously had voted for Prabowo Subianto in the 2014 general election. Second, the other candidate Deddy Mizwar’s supporters switched sides to the Sudrajat-Ahmad Saikhu ticket due to the still strong sentiments of the 212 movement for the urban Muslim population. Third, the increase in vote share for the Sudrajat-Ahmad Saikhu ticket was partly shared by the fact that the Regencies of Bogor, Bekasi, and Sukabumi, as well as the Cities of Depok and Bekasi were PKS and Gerindra strongholds

Marine debris is a problem that rises to global and national urgency, given the fact that Indonesia is the second largest contributor of plastic waste to the world after China. The author tries to examine Indonesia’s national action plan on marine debris and the policy as a driver in the implementation of SDGs no. 14. In answering these problems, the authors use descriptive qualitative method by describing the previously collected data which are then arranged to systematically discuss. The article finds that the national action plan is considered an initiative in stemming Indonesia’s concerns on the problem of plastic waste. This article also finds that this program cannot be said to be effective because there are several aspects that need to be reviewed; however, it can be said to be effective when assessed in the context of Indonesia’s compliance with the international maritime regime.
