INTRODUCTIONS

1.1. Background of the Study

Music is an entertainment that tells a story by mental image that giving the illusion and it is necessary because it becomes part of human life in this modern era. Globalization brings both positive and negative effect. It gives great development in science, technology, economy, education and art. The development of art runs fast and music or song is one of the branches of art that has big influence for the people.

Universitas Sumatera Utara CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

2.1 Literature

Literature is one of the greatest creative and universal meaning in communicating the emotional, spiritual or intellectual concerns of mankind. In this book, Understanding the Elements of Literature, Taylor (1981: 1) says that

“Literature is essentially an imaginative act, which is an act of the writer‟s imagination in selective ordering and interpreting life experience.” Literature is an art of living together communication language. Without language there would be no literature. Through language, it can manifest itself in the form of oral and written literature. Abrams (1981) (in Selidik, 2013:1) Says “literature is seen as a means to convey a specific purpose, such as values or teachings to the reader”.

The definition above, it means that literature is an art form both oral or written that contains values and other elements that are imaginative. Peck (1984 :41) in his book Literary Terms and Criticism says that, lyrics is “a poem in which the poet writes about his thought and feelings. The basic type is the song”. It means that, the lyric as the type of poetry and the lyric as made by the song writer are the same, because the song is the type of the lyric, and nowadays the words content in a song called the lyric. Delise (1971:149) added that “originally the lyric was a poem composed if being sung, or at least so constructed as to be appropriate for singing”. It expresses the personal feelings of the one who wrote it, translated into words and word patterns that would effectively communicate those feelings.

5 Universitas Sumatera Utara A. Values in Literature

The theory of value begins with a subject matter. It is hard to specify in some general way exactly what counts, but it certainly includes what people are talking about. According to Ursery, (2002:1) states that “value is belief or attitude about what is good, right desirable, worthwhile and value system the ways people organize rank, prioritize, and make decision”. The writer concludes, people beliefs about what is important in life. Some values refer to how one should act. Other values refer to what one wants to accomplish or obtain in life. Schroeder, (2012:2) gives some distribution of value in daily life, he explains pleasure is good or bad; it would be good or bad if people did that. He gives another examples of value those are too much cholesterol is good or bad for health; it is better or worse for it to end now, than for us to get caught later.“Value are guidance to act or behave which coming from ourselves, principles about to live a life and to make a decision” Buzan, (2003:28). Values are moral and nature of behavior which desides for ourselves, involved the concept of universal truth, honesty, fair, justice and honor.

According to Earle (1992:297), value is positive quality of anything where by it is desirable, useful, interesting, good, and important. Only a few of the terms is available for the expression of positive values. Whether values are part of the intrinsic nature of things or simply a matter of how humans respond to things is controversial. It is clear that, the values influence what people will determine as ethical.

Universitas Sumatera Utara Related to the contents of literary work, Amir (in Rahayu, 2005:7-8) said that

“a good literary work should have the integrity and alignment, such as an aesthetic

(cultural Values), ethical (moral values), philosophical (educational values), and the sense of religious (religious values)”. a) Cultural Values

The values associated with the customs / traditions prevailing in the society.

As the complexity of values, culture includes various types of values. for example: truth, goodness, and beauty. Culture is also inner perfection. It can be interpreted that, the cultural values guide a person to reach the perfect life. Perfect in question is the perfection of human life as God's creatures, both religious dimensions, social and human person.

b) Religious Values

Lathief, (2008) (in Santoso 2011:6) argues that all literature is religious. The word religious taken from Latin “Relego”, intended to “scale back” or are

“concerned about (something)”.A religious can be interpreted as a human, which means, that conscience serious, devout, conscientious, and full of spiritual discernment. Religiosity is seeing aspects 'in my heart', moving in the deep hart, ripple vibration personal conscience, personal attitude a little much a mystery to others. Moral Values Moral refers to what is good or bad people‟s relation to others. In other words, understanding the morality is good or bad and right or wrong. Social relationship can be judged by standards such as efficiency or produce (Sternberg,1994:938).

Universitas Sumatera Utara c) Social Values

Social value is the value of the underlying, guiding and the goal of human action and social life in the hold, retain and develop human‟s life. Social norms are rules of human relationships, which according Goeman (1992) (inWardani,

2011:4) is a principle which underlies the human to adapt to the geographical environment, human beings, and cultural environment. It is understood that the social value is the general guidelines in the community.

From the explanation above, the writer can conclude that values is close relationship between right or wrong behaviours and how the people evaluate the behaviour of others base on the social , religious, cultural and moral values. So , literature is one of media to show some of the meaning, one of them is moral values that presented by author. By the songs, poems, movie, or the other literary works, the author tries to teach and deliver good moral for the audiences.

2.2 Definition of Moral Value

A. Moral

Moral comes from Latin word “Mores”, it has meaning of custom and folkways. Moral behavior means behavior in conformity with the moral code of the social group. Moral development has both an intellectual and an impulsive aspect, people must learn what is right and wrong and given explanation of why this is right and wrong Hurlock (1985:386).

According to Barcalow (1994: 3), moral issues involve a way of behaving and having character, they are unavoidably coming in all shapes and sizes.

Universitas Sumatera Utara Fundamentally, moral issues arise when the choice that people take will affect the good attitude of other by increasing or decreasing. For example, when other people are watching news in program television about criminal, it is can be a source to be more careful and getting on the ball with criminal. The negative or decreasing attitude is when the other people make it to be the source of their criminal.

Edward (1967:151) says, there are three kinds of motives which lead men to act morally, that is, to obey the moral rules of their society, enlightened selfinterest, respect for rules, and other regarding motives. Morals are the standards by which behaviours are evaluated for their morality –their rightness or wrongness. Morality is something that must be owned by human because without morality human will not be respected by other people. They will be easy to socialize with people around them and will be accepted in the community.

Someone who has moral should have the ability to consider good and bad behavior because no one can live without other person.

B. Value

Value (ethic) is a person principle or standards of behavior. Value is important to social human. Its can described as treating actions . Pepper (1958:7) stated that values is everything about good or bad. According to Kluckhohn

(1951:399) values as concepts that regulate “impulse satisfaction in accord with the whole array of hierarchical, enduring goals of the personality and sociocultural system for order, the need for respecting the interests of others and of the group as a whole in social living”.

Universitas Sumatera Utara Based on Benninga (1991:131), the term “values” may suggest that judgments of right and wrong, lofty and base, just and unjust, and more personal preferences, that thing are useful as individuals happens to value them.

C. Moral Value

Moral is a knowledge that involved a human character within cultured, always associated with values, but not all values are moral values can be said as a rule in society life that used as guidelines in daily activity or life. It concern with a right or wrong relationship of people with each other. Based on Oxford Advances

Learner‟s Dictionary by Hornby (2010:959), moral relates to the standard or principles of a good behavior. So, moral value formed to make people had a good personality.

There are four characteristic of moral value. There are as following: a) Moral value is related with responsibility

Moral value is related with human personality, but beside moral value also automatically can say other values. Moral value makes people wrong or not, because he/she has responsibility. Especially moral value is related with human personality of responsibility. Moral value just can be real inaction wholly if it became responsibility of the involved person. b) Moral value is related with pure heart

All values need to make it real. Because it has persuasive power, it should be practice. For example, aesthetic value, it should be practiced, play music composition or others. After that the result of it, painting want to be showed, and

Universitas Sumatera Utara music want to be listened. To make moral value to be real, It‟s can be appealed from pure heart. One of special characteristics of moral values is this value will effect voice of pure heart to accuse us if oppose moral value and praise us if make moral value. c) Obligation

Moral value obligates us absolutely and it can‟t be compromised. Other values need to be real and admitted, for example, aesthetic value. Educative and cultural person will admit and enjoying aesthetic value. But indifferent people can‟t we blame. Moral value obligates us as such, without requirement. For example, honesty orders us to return thing that borrowed, like or not, because moral value contains an imperative category. In other value for example, if badminton player want to be champion, he/she must try hard. It‟s a must to be champion, but there is a limitation. d) Formality

Moral value is not stand-alone without other value. Although moral value is top value that we must appreciate, but it is not in top without other value. Moral values did not separate with other values. For example, a seller applies moral values all at once with apply economic values. Moral values are nothing without other values.

Biography of Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey was born March 27, 1970, in Huntington, Long Island, New

York, to Alfred Roy Carey, a Venezuelan aeronautical engineer; and Patricia

Carey, a voice coach and opera singer. She has two older siblings: a brother,

Morgan, and a sister, Alison. Carey's parents divorced when she was three years old. She stunned her mother by imitating her operatic singing as early as age two, and was given singing lessons starting at age four. Eventually, Carey would develop a voice that spanned five octaves. After graduating in 1987 from

Harborfields High School in Greenlawn, New York, Carey moved to Manhattan where she worked as a waitress and a coat check girl and studied cosmetology, while writing songs and actively pursuing a music career at night.

After listening to the tape on the way home from the party, Mottola signed Carey immediately and set her to work on her first album, Mariah Carey (1990), which included four No. 1 singles: "Vision of Love," "Love Takes Time," "Some Day," and "I Don't Wanna Cry”.
