CULTURAL INTERACTION BETWEEN THE NATIVES AND THE JAVANESE


CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

1.1  Background of The Study
Globalization makes a lot of changes in our world. From the lifestyle, habits, and there`s more. Especially the mixing of the culture and the changes of interaction between people. This happen because there is no more gap between people in case of culture, they are free to show and share their culture so other people are easy to have known more about other culture. In this technology era, people can have interact with another by the simple ways which can pass through by countries, seas, even oceans.
Their interaction is not only based on the gadget but also their visit to the country or village or place that they want to. By that, the interaction between them getting closer and more friendly because they feel the real interaction, which is talk face to face, by touching, or see each other face. Beside visiting country, some of them also stay for weeks, months, years, even decide to live there forever.
It happen also in Indonesia, they are immigrants. In this case people in java, except west java are interest in moving out their home to the capital of Indonesia, Jakarta. These Javanese people searching for friendship, wealthy, and love in Jakarta which called big opportunity.

CHAPTER II
THEORITICAL REVIEW

2.1 Definitions of Cultural
Cultural based on the word culture can be defined as “the behaviors and beliefs characteristics of a particular social, ethnics, or age group.” With that in mind, if we understand culture, then we can make assumptions about the meaning of other people`s actions, behavior or thinking.
Culture is natural development during birth process {what we call is behavior, that changes from individual to individual broadened when lives in family that family is part of a society (group or community), behavior of the group is culture} and its evolution is based on intelligence reaction to experiences and needs.

2.2 Definitions of Interaction
Interaction is a kind of action that occurs as two or more objects have an effect upon one another. The idea of a two-way effect is essential in the concept of interaction, as opposed to a one-way causal effect.
Interaction is a dynamic, changing sequence of social actions between individuals (or groups) who modify their actions and reactions due to the actions by their interaction partner(s)

2.3  Definitions of the Natives
A person born in a specified place or associated with a place by birth, whether subsequently resident there or not.

Native is a right by which nationality or citizenship can be recognized to any individual born in the territory of the related state.

2.4  Definitions of the Javanese
Any member of the largest ethnic group on the island of Java, Indonesia. They speak an Austronesian language. Traditional Javanese social organization varied in structure from relatively egalitarian villages to the highly stratified society of the cities; these differences find expression in the many Javanese styles of speech still in use.
The Javanese (Javanese Ngoko: Wong Jawa, Krama: Tiyang Jawi; Indonesian:suku Jawa) are an ethnic group native to the Indonesian island of Java. At approximately 85 million people (as of 2009), they form the largest ethnic group in Indonesia. They are predominantly located in the central to eastern parts of the island. There are also significant populations in most Provinces of Indonesia, in Malaysia, Singapore and also Suriname in South America.



CHAPTER III
RESULT OF THE STUDY

4.1  The Cultural Interactions
a.       Share accurate information about the cultures involved. Accurate information, combined with frank discussions, can eliminate misunderstanding and misperceptions that create barriers to integration and community building.

b.       Get to know one another as individuals. Over time, such human connection is highly effective at breaking down harmful stereotypes about particular ethnic/racial groups or cultures. It calls adaptation. For immigrant, in this case Javanese. They live in the different situation with their life before. They have to adapt with new situation, new people, new neighborhood. For instance: Javanese just came to Jakarta, they have to report their arrival to the person who in charge in there, like RT. They have to told their neighbor that they just move in and will stay there.

c.        Raise questions, share concerns, and engage in a dialogue. Ongoing honesty and candidness, though sometimes difficult, are critical to creating authentic relationships. Concerns about immigration, race, and other tough issues should be addressed head-on.

d.       Build on the commonalities, but address the differences. The focus should be on helping participants identify shared interests and create shared experiences. At the same time, there should always be willingness to constructively address differences that arise along the way. They have to adjust theirself in social life interaction to prevent some conflicts. For example: they sit and talk together in the meeting of RT/neighborhood to decide something but, in the middle of it there must be a different point of view. So that, there must be a person which have to control it make sure that there will no conflict. Even there is, at least they can hold it.

e.        Establish trust and work together on common issues. Effective programs not only help build trust over time but also help Javanese find common ground. For some reasons their togetherness is a way to make their life closer each other. For example: the natives sometimes hold mutual aid to make their neighborhood clean, they also invite, ask the Javanese people gather around and help them to collate their vision as a citizen there.

f.        Competition. It is a struggle of an individual or a particular social group, in order to gain a competitive victory, without causing any threat or physical impact on their rivals. For example: In one class, students vying hone and demonstrate its capability. In the current test daily test or final exam. At that time, they compete in a healthy manner to get the highest score.

g.        Controversion. Is a form of social processes that sits between competition and conflict. Being controversy among others, the attitude is not happy, either secretly or overtly directed against individuals or groups or the elements of a particular cultural group. For example: In one instance, someone who works very well and finally obtain success. But there are those who want success mentioned spreading false rumors about that person so they can take over the person's success or dropped.

h.       Conflict. Is a social process between individuals or a particular group of people, due to differences in understanding and fundamental interests, giving rise to a sort of gap or gaps that block social interaction among those who fought it. For example: Conflicts that occur between the Betawi and Javanese tribes. Javanese people banned from entering their land. Sometimes this kind of conflict also happen in the little community which they thought Javanese will merebut their land.

                

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION

Indonesia is a country with a great number of cultures and heritages that could be enjoy, explore and need to know because it is too pity if we as an Indonesian never enjoy our culture and heritage. Indonesia has more than hundred culture and heritage that we haven`t figure out and it sometimes it still at the same condition as before. Culture, ethnic, race, religion, and other riches of Indonesia. With that diversity, Indonesia come united. Javanese to Betawi, Riau to Aceh, and other interaction happen everytime. With a lot of interaction happens, actually we don`t have to worried about our land. As long as we know our tradition each other. Globalization era won`t let all of us forget what we are at first.
 From the explanation above the writer could give an analysis that from one land or neighborhood we could learn all of things that happen around us. From sharing, helping, caring, and loving we can be as one even we are from different religion, ethnic, race, or culture. We can come together as long as we cannot close ourself from the outside world. We can filter out what we`ve got from the outside world and got great things to learn as an interaction. So, interaction between humans is not only happen here but also outside. Even other countries, cross the seas, even ocean. Interaction happens everywhere, everytime, every single person, and every kinds of culture.
