Abstract

This study examines the cultural acculturation in Mandailing ethnic marriages in Desa Simonis, Labuhanbatu Utara Regency, North Sumatra. Focusing on how the marriage process serves as a medium for cultural integration in a multiethnic society, the research identifies various cultural elements interacting and adapting within marriage practices. Using a qualitative approach, the study involves direct observation, interviews with local traditional leaders and community members, and analysis of documents related to marriage traditions. The findings reveal that Mandailing marriages in Desa Simonis not only incorporate local Mandailing customs but also blend elements of Malay and Hindu cultures, creating a rich and dynamic celebration. This acculturation is reflected in various ritual aspects, such as the tepung tawar ceremony, upah-upah, and Endeng-Endeng dance, which show the integration of symbols and practices from different cultures. The study highlights the role of marriage as a key mechanism in the preservation and transformation of culture, as well as how marriage functions as a bridge between different traditions and communities. This research provides insights into the ongoing process of cultural acculturation in multiethnic societies and its contribution to the formation of new cultural identities in the region.

Abstract

The advent of mass media globalisation has exerted a significant impact on Indonesian culture. The objective of this study is to identify and analyse the impact of mass media globalisation on Indonesian culture. The advancement of mass media has become increasingly sophisticated in conjunction with the evolution of communication technology in the contemporary era. It can be seen, therefore, that the development of mass media technology has an impact on the culture and behaviour of Indonesian society. The research method employed is descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through literature studies based on books and related articles. The results demonstrate that mass media globalisation exerts a multifaceted influence on Indonesian culture. On the one hand, the adoption of global media technology and content has facilitated advances in information access and cross-cultural interaction. However, on the other hand, mass media globalisation also presents challenges to local cultural diversity and national identity.
