Abstract

This study explores how two animated series, Nussa Rara and Omar Hana, impart crucial lessons on diversity, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence. Triggered by the rising tensions between various ethnic groups and potential tribal conflicts within nations like Indonesia, this study analyzes how these films contribute to cultivating a sense of mutual respect and understanding. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the research examines how the films promote values such as tolerance and citizenship, including nationalism, respect for local cultures, and anti-violence attitudes. The purpose of this research is to explore how these animated series offer young learners tools to navigate cultural diversity, resolve conflicts peacefully, and appreciate their cultural heritage. By focusing on the characters’ interactions, the research highlights how these films model tolerance, cooperation, and empathy—values essential in reducing societal divisions. Through CDA, it identifies underlying messages in the scenes and dialogues that advocate for non-violent approaches to disputes, fostering unity in diversity. The results of the study reveal that Nussa Rara and Omar Hana present valuable educational insights for managing diversity and promoting tolerance. The films encourage children to respect differences, engage with various cultures, and reject violence. These values are introduced early, forming a foundation that complements formal civic education in schools. In conclusion, the films serve as a powerful medium for teaching pluralism, equipping children with essential skills to navigate a diverse world while promoting peace and unity.
