Agama Islam dan budaya masyarakat Aceh merupakan satu kesatuan. Agama Islam menjadi sumber utama dalam kebudayaan masyarakat Aceh, sehingga semua kesenian di Aceh, dalam hal ini seni tari, selalu dikaitkan dengan nilai keagamaan. Tari Seudati yang merupakan warisan budaya nenek moyang orang Aceh adalah salah satu tarian tradisional yang terus dilestarikan dan berkembang di kalangan masyarakat Aceh secara nasional maupun internasional. Proses perubahan meliputi: proses reproduksi dan proses transformasi, dari masa ke masa, dan mengikuti perkembangan zaman. Tari Seudati mengalami beberapa kali perubahan sosial, dikarenakan adanya penambahan norma-norma, nilai-nilai, adat, dan agama di masyarakat Aceh. Hasil dari perubahan sosial pada Tari Seudati kini terbagi menjadi dua yaitu: seudati agam (seudati laki-laki) sebagai tari tradisional dan seudati inong (seudati perempuan) sebagai tari kreasi. Seudati inong merupakan pengembangan dari seudati agam. Walaupun ada beberapa kali perubahan sosial dalam Tari Seudati, masyarakat Aceh tetap mengikuti norma-norma, nilai-nilai, adat, dan agama yang telah ditanamkan pada diri masyarakat Aceh sejak dahulu.Kata kunci: perubahan sosial, tari seudati, masyarakat aceh SOCIAL CHANGES IN SEUDATI DANCE IN ACEH SOCIETYAbstractThe religion of Islam and the culture of the people of Aceh is a unity. Islam is a major source of Acehnese culture, so that Art in Aceh, in this case dance, is always associated with religious values.

The process of changes includes: the process of reproduction and the process of transformation, from time to time, keeping up with the changing times. Seudati dance experienced several times of social change, due to the addition of norms, values, customs, and religion in the people of Aceh. The result of social changes in Seudati Dance are now divided into two: seudati agam (seudati male) as traditional dance and seudati inong (seudati female) as dance creations. Seudati inong is the development of seudati agam. Although there are several times of social change in Seudati Dance, the people of Aceh still follow the norms, values, customs, and religions that have been implanted on Acehnese society long ago.Keywords: social changes, Seudati dance, Aceh society

An Orientation to Conflict Conflict is like sex: it is an important and pervasive aspect of life. It should be enjoyed and should occur with a reasonable degree of frequency, and after a conflict is over the people involved should feel better than they did before. Some psychiatrists and social scientists have given conflict a bad reputation by linking it with psychopathology, social disorder, and war. Conflict can be dysfunctional, but it also can be productive. It has many positive functions, including preventing stagnation and stimulating interest and curiosity. It is the medium through which problems can be aired and solutions developed. It is the root of personal and social change. The practical and scientific issue is not how to eliminate or prevent conflict but rather how to have lively controversy rather than deadly quarrels. A conflict exists whenever incompatible activities occur. The incompatible actions may originate in one person, group, or nation (intrapersonal, intragroup, or intranational) or they may reflect incompatible actions of two or more persons, groups, or nations (interpersonal, intergroup, or international). An action that is incompatible with another action prevents, obstructs, interferes, injures, or in some way makes the latter less likely or effective. A potential conflict exists when the parties involved perceive themselves to have incompatible values, interests, goals, needs, or beliefs.

Buru Regency is one of the rice suppliers in Maluku Province.The achievements of Buru Regency as Maluku rice supplier cannot be separated from its history as a place for people who were exiled in 1969. The presence of these former people has an influence on social change in Buru Island. Located in Waeapo district, Buru regency, this qualitative research was conducted to explain social change in Waeapo, Buru by the former exiles. The results showed that before the former exiles arrived at Buru Island, the Waeapo was dominated by forests, where the local people practiced swidden agriculture. The presence of former exiles in 1969 changed the landscape of Buru from forest to paddyfields by means of forced labor. The forced labor and introduction of new agricultural system are patterns inherited from the colonial government. Nevertheless, in Buru, the harvest was consumed by the exiles instead of handed over to the government as a custom enforced by the colonials. The change in land use eventually changed the shifting cultivation system to permanent agriculture with the lowland rice farming system which is commonly practiced in Java. Ex-exiles were the people used by the New Order government to carry out development in remote areas in the 1969-1979 era until the change of Buru’s landscape, source of staple food, and cultural diversity exist in Waeapo..

This article seeks to discuss the point of intersection between globalization and localization. The study is aimed at discussing the effects of globalization on the lives and the characters exposed in Daya Pawar’s powerful book Baluta (translated in English under the same title in 2015 by Jerry Pinto). The characters, who are otherwise well rooted in the traditions practised in their localities, are forced to adapt to the strong waves of change occasioned by modernity. Globalization has occasioned migrants to settle in the localities of Kawakhana and the neighbouring regions. Consequently, popular social joints have sprung up in these localities, prompting the lives of characters to change drastically. Social vices such as betting, alcoholism and prostitution have risen drastically with the increase in clubs, betting dens and brothels. The individual lives of the dwellers of Kawakhana have deteriorated with increased modernization and urbanization. On the brighter side, modern schools have become more popular, with the parents seeing the need of taking their children to school. This element of social change has resulted to the emancipation of the people in the lower castes—the Mahar. Through education, the children of the Mahar have gained economic empowerment, enabling them to break the yoke of tradition that has relegated them to the inferior social position. It is in light of these drastic social changes that this article seeks to explore the aesthetic manifestation of globality, reflexivity and social change.

Abstract The summer of 2011 has seen the first mass-scale social protest in Israel in its 70 years of existence. This social wave that shook the country, showed unique characteristics a-typical of most social and political uprisings, that go largely unexplained by social theories of social change and crowd psychology. In this article I am analyzing published reports of the social protest of 2011, and draw the analogy with the concept of ‘Agoral Gathering’ that may account for these events and support discussion of their aftermath.

Behind the story of Moses and Pharaoh was reflection of the developing culture in Islamic societies. First, there were some societies’ components in the struggle process of the faithful in conveying the truth, both theologically or socio-politically. Such as the actor of social change (Moses), masses of people (the people of Moses), authorities who refused the change (Pharaoh and his leaders) and opportunist intellectuals (the magicians before being defeated by Moses), and organic intellectuals (the magicians after believing in the truth of Moses). Second, the community’s culture was controlled by established authorities, the commitment of the truth will gain a refusal and despite resistance. The prerequisite to be able to undergo it was to confirm it rationally and empirically (according to the times).
