Abstract

The implementation of progressive taxes in various jurisdictions and an assessment of their performance in achieving a more balanced distribution of wealth. The research method used literature, which was taken in accordance with the context of the research. The results show that the progressive tax system has potential as a wealth redistribution tool. However, its effectiveness is often hindered by the practice of tax avoidance, tax evasion, and aggressive tax planning. Political and ideological resistance also plays a role in challenging the legitimacy and revenue levels of progressive taxes. In addition, the complexity of tax administration can hinder its effectiveness, causing uncertainty and higher compliance costs for taxpayers. However, despite these challenges, the research points to administrative reform, strengthening of the legal framework, and public participation as important steps that can improve social justice through this system. The conclusion of this study is that although the progressive tax system is not perfect, with the right adjustments, it can be more effective in supporting a fairer distribution of wealth.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the role and effectiveness of local regulations in handling domestic violence cases. The method used is a literature review. This study identified that the existence of regional regulations is very important as a legal umbrella to protect victims and provide sanctions for perpetrators of domestic violence. However, the effectiveness of local regulations is still questionable given various challenges, including the capacity of law enforcement officers, inadequate resources and infrastructure, and lack of supervision in their implementation. The results show that while local regulations have been a progressive step in addressing domestic violence, their role is often limited to the normative level and lacking in effective concrete actions. Factors such as unawareness or low knowledge of domestic violence among law enforcement officials and the community, strong social stigma, and a non-integrated referral and victim assistance system, further hinder the implementation of this policy. Therefore, a multi-sectoral approach involving cooperation across institutions and sectors of society is needed to improve the effectiveness of this regional regulation. Capacity building for law enforcers, improved support facilities for victims, intensive socialization, and systematic monitoring and evaluation strategies are needed to ensure that the regional regulation can contribute significantly to reducing domestic violence and effectively protect victims' rights.

Abstract

Social media has revolutionized interaction patterns among teenagers, providing them with new opportunities to communicate and share experiences like never before. However, an important issue that arises is how intensive use of social media affects mental health and the development of social skills. The tendency to spend excessive time online can reduce opportunities for in-person interactions that are important for social and cognitive learning. The lack of face-to-face contact can hinder adolescents in developing empathy and non-verbal communication skills. Furthermore, constant social comparison and the search for online validation can trigger psychological distress, including self-esteem issues and anxiety. The research method in this study uses literature research method. The results show that social media provides ample opportunities for adolescents to connect socially, explore identity, and participate in online communities. However, adolescents' use of social media also poses significant challenges. In particular, findings suggest a correlation between intensive social media use and an increased risk of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, as well as a reduction in face-to-face interactions that may affect the development of healthy social and emotional skills.
