In the era of globalization that is full of challenges, the ability to think critically is becoming increasingly relevant. This research aims to examine how the integration of the trilogy of soul aspects (rasa, cipta, and karsa) in the learning process can foster critical thinking character in the younger generation. Through literature review and case studies, this research will identify learning strategies that are effective in stimulating students' critical thinking skills, as well as analyze their influence on overall character development. The results of the research are expected to contribute to the development of a more holistic curriculum and teaching practices, so as to produce a young generation that is not only intellectually intelligent, but also has a strong and competitive character. The formation of critical thinking character does not only involve the teaching and learning process in the classroom, but also needs to be balanced with real experiences outside the academic environment. Through a holistic approach, it is hoped that the younger generation will be able to develop critical thinking skills that are not only useful in the context of education, but also in everyday life. Education based on this trilogy of aspects of the soul will provide a strong foundation for young people to face global challenges and contribute positively to society. This trilogy includes intellectual understanding, emotional and values development, and practical skills that support each other. By integrating these three aspects, education will not only shape individuals who are intellectually intelligent, but also have social awareness and adaptability in a changing society. Character education has become a central issue in education today. This research proposes that integrating the trilogy of aspects of the soul can be an effective approach in building critical thinking character in the younger generation. By stimulating the trilogy aspects in a balanced manner, it is expected that they will be able to develop critical thinking skills that are not only logic-based, but also based on moral values and empathy. This research will test this hypothesis through experiments or case studies at an educational institution.

Introduction: The 2024 Indonesian presidential election will see significant Generation Z participation, yet unverified political information may affect their understanding. The documentary ‘Dirty Vote’ has the potential to enhance political knowledge and influence voting decisions, particularly regarding election fraud--a key concern for Generation Z voters who are active digitally but vulnerable to misinformation. Using the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), this study examines how the documentary influences political knowledge, mediates voting decisions, and affects political engagement. The research evaluates whether ‘Dirty Vote’ can effectively enhance political understanding and shape voting choices among Generation Z.

Methods: This explanatory quantitative study targets viewers of the ‘Dirty Vote’ documentary on social media. A sample of 384 participants was determined using the Lemeshow formula and non-probability purposive sampling. Data were collected via Google Forms and analyzed using Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA). The ELM theory guided the analysis.

Findings: The study found that ‘Dirty Vote’ significantly enhances political knowledge and influences voting decisions among Generation Z. Political knowledge acted as a mediator, strengthening the documentary's impact. The credibility of the documentary’s source also played a key role in how the information was received. These findings suggest that documentaries can be an effective tool for political education, particularly for young voters.

Originality: This study provides new insights into the role of documentaries in political education for Generation Z in Semarang, using ELM theory and GSCA to explore media’s impact on political knowledge and behavior.

The digital era brings challenges to the internalization of Pancasila values, especially among generation Z who are exposed to global information flows and foreign cultures. This research aims to analyze the influence of digital technology on the understanding of Generation Z about Pancasila, especially the third precept, "Unity of Indonesia." Using a qualitative approach and analytical descriptive methods, this study utilizes data from literature and documentation. The results of the study show that Generation Z still respects cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity. However, global cultural influences can shift appreciation of local values. Pancasila-based education and critical literacy play an important role in maintaining the relevance of these values. The use of digital technology as a medium of learning and socialization is considered strategic in strengthening the understanding of Generation Z of Pancasila. In conclusion, the values of Pancasila remain relevant if supported by innovative and technology-based education. This step is important to ensure that generation Z can face globalization without losing their national identity, as well as internalize and apply Pancasila values in daily life.

Kapok range is a natural fiber that has considerable potential in the form of cellulose and can be enhanced by its physical and mechanical value cellulose. This study aims to analyze the character of cellulose produced from kapok and isolation. The cellulose isolation method used a factorial complete randomized design, namely the first factor of NaOH concentration (4%, 6%, and 8%) and the second factor of extraction time (40, 50, and 60 minutes). The cellulose isolation process showed that the method did not significantly affect the yield of randu kapok cellulose. The highest yield and degree of whiteness resulted from the treatment of 4% NaOH concentration and 40 minutes of extraction time with a yield of 6.54 ± 0.82%. The following result showed that the treatment had a significant effect on the results of the degree of whiteness. The highest degree of whiteness resulted from the treatment of 8% NaOH concentration and 60 minute extraction time of 30 ± 0.7. The cellulose isolation results of kapok resulted in cellulose content of 90.15 ± 0.81%, hemicellulose content of 3.6 ± 0.52%, and lignin content of 0.91 ± 0.03%. The analyzed properties provide a strong basis for considering the potential use of such cellulose nanofibers in various industrial applications, such as the manufacture of sustainable composite materials or other valueadded products.
