BAB VIII

AGAMA DAN MASYARAKAT

A.    Fungsi Agama Dalam Masyarakat

Fungsi agama dalam masyaraka Dalam hal fungsi, masyarakat dan agama itu berperan dalam mengatasi persoalan-persoalan yang timbul di masyarakat yang tidak dapat   dipecahakan   secara   empiris   karena   adanya   keterbatasan kemampuan dan ketidakpastian. Oleh karena itu, diharapkan agama menjalankan   fungsinya   sehingga   masyarakat   merasa   sejahtera, aman, stabil, dan sebagainya. Agama dalam masyarakat bisa difungsikan sebagai berikut :

a.       Fungsi edukatif.

Agama memberikan bimbingan dan pengajaaran dengan perantara petugas-petugasnya (fungsionaris) seperti syaman, dukun, nabi, kiai, pendeta imam, guru agama dan lainnya, baik dalam upacara (perayaan) keagamaan, khotbah, renungan (meditasi) pendalaman rohani, dsb.

b.      Fungsi penyelamatan.

Bahwa setiap manusia menginginkan keselamatan baik dalam hidup sekarang ini maupun sesudah mati. Jaminan keselamatan ini hanya bisa mereka temukan dalam agama. Agama membantu manusia untuk mengenal sesuatu “yang sakral” dan “makhluk teringgi” atau Tuhan dan berkomunikasi dengan-Nya. Sehingga dalam yang hubungan ini manusia percaya dapat memperoleh apa yang ia inginkan. Agama sanggup mendamaikan kembali manusia yang salah dengan Tuhan dengan jalan pengampunan dan Penyucian batin.

c.       Fungsi pengawasan sosial (social control)

Fungsi agama sebagai kontrol sosial yaitu :

• Agama meneguhkan kaidah-kaidah susila dari adat yang dipandang baik bagi kehidupan moral warga masyarakat.
• Agama mengamankan dan melestarikan kaidah-kaidah moral ( yang dianggap baik )dari serbuan destruktif dari agama baru dan dari system hokum Negara modern.

d.      Fungsi memupuk Persaudaraan.

Kesatuan persaudaraan berdasarkan kesatuan sosiologis ialah kesatuan manusia-manusia yang didirikan atas unsur kesamaan.

• Kesatuan persaudaraan berdasarkan ideologi yang sama, seperti liberalism, komunisme, dan sosialisme.
• Kesatuan persaudaraan berdasarkan sistem politik yang sama. Bangsa-bangsa bergabung dalam sistem kenegaraan besar, seperti NATO, ASEAN dll.
• Kesatuan persaudaraan atas dasar se-iman, merupakan kesatuan tertinggi karena dalam persatuan ini manusia bukan hanya melibatkan sebagian dari dirinya saja melainkan seluruh pribadinya dilibatkan dalam satu intimitas yang terdalam dengan sesuatu yang tertinggi yang dipercayai bersama

e.       Fungsi transformatif.

Fungsi transformatif disini diartikan dengan mengubah bentuk kehidupan baru atau mengganti nilai-nilai lama dengan menanamkan nilai-nilai baru yang lebih bermanfaat.

Sedangkan  menurut   Thomas   F.  O’Dea  menuliskan   enam  fungsi agama dan masyarakat yaitu:

1.      Sebagai pendukung, pelipur lara, dan perekonsiliasi.

2.      Sarana hubungan  transendental  melalui  pemujaan dan upacara

Ibadat.

3.      Penguat norma-norma dan nilai-nilai yang sudah ada.

4.      Pengoreksi fungsi yang sudah ada.

5.      Pemberi identitas diri.

6.      Pendewasaan agama.

Sedangkan menurut  Hendropuspito  lebih ringkas  lagi,  akan tetapi   intinya   hampir   sama.   Menurutnya   fungsi   agama   dan masyarakat   itu   adalah   edukatif,   penyelamat,   pengawasan   sosial, memupuk persaudaraan, dan transformatif.

Agama memiliki peranan yang sangat penting dalam kehidupan manusia dan
masyarakat, karena agama memberikan sebuah system nilai yang memiliki derivasi
pada norma-norma masyarakat untuk memberikan pengabsahan dan pembenaran dalam
mengatur pola perilaku manusia, baik di level individu dan masyarakat. Agama
menjadi sebuah pedoman hidup singkatnya. Dalam memandang nilai, dapat kita lihat dari dua sudut pandang. Pertama, nilai  agama dilihat dari sudut intelektual yang menjadikan nilai agama sebagai norma  atau prinsip. Kedua, nilai agama dirasakan di sudut pandang emosional yang menyebabkan adanya sebuah dorongan rasa dalam diri yang disebut mistisme.

B.    Kasus Yang Berkaitan Dengan Konflik Yang Ada Dalam Agama Dan Masyarakat

Di beberapa wilayah, integritas masyarakat masih tertata dengan kokoh. Kerjasama dan toleransi antar agama terjalin dengan baik, didasarkan kepada rasa solidaritas, persaudaraan, kemanusiaan, kekeluargaan dan kebangsaan. Namun hal ini hanya sebagian kecil saja karena pada kenyataannya masih banyak terjadi konflik yang disebabkan berbagai faktor yang kemudian menyebabkan disintegrasi dalam masyarakat.

Banyak konflik yang terjadi di masyarakat Indonesia disebabkan oleh pertikaian karena agama. Contohnya tekanan terhadap kaum minoritas (kelompok agama tertentu yang dianggap sesat, seperti Ahmadiyah) memicu tindakan kekerasan yang bahkan dianggap melanggar Hak Asasi Manusia. Selain itu, tindakan kekerasan juga terjadi kepada perempuan, dengan menempatkan tubuh perempuan sebagai objek yang dianggap dapat merusak moral masyarakat. Kemudian juga terjadi kasus-kasus perusakan tempat ibadah atau demonstrasi menentang didirikannya sebuah rumah ibadah di beberapa tempat di Indonesia, yang mana tempat itu lebih didominasi oleh kelompok agama tertentu sehingga kelompok agama minoritas tidak mendapatkan hak.

Permasalah konflik dan tindakan kekerasan ini kemudian mengarah kepada pertanyaan mengenai kebebasan memeluk agama serta menjalankan ibadah sesuai dengan agama dan kepercayaan tersebut. Seperti yang kita ketahui bahwa dalam UUD 1945, pasal 29 Ayat 2, sudah jelas dinyatakan bahwa setiap warga negara memiliki hak yang sama dalam memeluk agama dan akan mendapat perlindungan dari negara.

Pada awal era Reformasi, lahir kebijakan nasional yang menjamin kebebasan beragama di Indonesia. Namun secara perlahan politik hukum kebijakan keagamaan di negeri ini mulai bergeser kepada ketentuan yang secara langsung membatasi kebebasan beragama. Kondisi ini kemudian menyebabkan terulangnya kondisi yang mendorong menguatnya pemanfaatan kebijakan-kebijakan keagamaan pada masa lampau yag secara substansial bertentangan dengan pasal HAM dan konstitusi di Indonesia.
Hal ini lah yang dilihat sebagai masalah dalam makalah ini, yaitu tentang konflik antar agama yang menyebabkan tindakan kekerasan terhadap kaum minoritas dan mengenai kebebasan memeluk agama dan beribadah dalam konteks relasi sosial antar agama. Penyusun mencoba memberikan analisa untuk menjawab masalah ini dilihat dari sudut pandang kerangka analisis sosiologis: teori konflik.

BAB VII

ILMU PENGETAHUAN, TEKNOLOGI DAN KEMISKINAN

A.    Kasus Yang Berkaitan Dengan Ilmu Pengetahuan Teknologi Barat & Indonesia

Perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi di Indonesia tertinggal jauh dan sangat memprihatinkan dibanding Negara-negara Eropa dan Amerika Serikat bahkan pula di Negara-negara Asia misalnya Jepang dan China. Hal ini disebabkan karena :

                                                                                                 

1. Masih terbatasnya orang indonesia yang mendapat pendidikan barat terutama pendidikan tinggi.
2. Kurangnya keinginan dari pemerintah maupun perusahaan swasta yang ada di Indonesia untuk melakukan ahli teknologi
3. Tidak adanya inovasi teknologi yang berarti di dalam masyarakat indonesia itu sendiri,ilmu pengetahuan dan teknologi di indonesia mulai berkembang dimana ditandai dangan adanya perguruan tinggi dan pusat-pusat penelitian seperti lembaga ilmu pengetahuan (LIPI) dan juga badan pengkajian dan penerapan teknologi (BPPT)

Realita yang memprihatinkan itu bukan dilihat dari prestasi beberapa bidang IPTEK yang telah di capai seperti penemuan aplikasi teknologi DNA, pemuan bibit padi unggul, pemuan vector medan laju percepatan gerak lempeng teknologi, rancangan bangunan pesawat remotely pilotely piloted vehicle, memperoleh penghargaan internasional fellowship L’oreal-unesco for woman in science,mendapat medali emas pada internasiaonal exhibition of invention new techninique and peroduct memperoleh the first to nobel prize di bidang fisika tingkat SMA , hingga temuan nutrisi baru yang di sebut saputra, yang memang semua itu perlu di syukuri . Tetapi keprihatinan itu muncul pergerakan dampak perkembangan IPTEK itu memang tidak segaris lurus dangan pencipta kesejahteraan masyarakat dalam rangka kebijakan IPTEK secara nasional,

B.    Peran Teknologi Dalam Mengatasi Kemiskinan

IPTEK (Ilmu Pengetahuan dan teknologi) merupakan serangkain kreasi ide yang dituangkan dalam bentuk nyata yang ditujukan fungsinya sebagai alat untuk mempermudah kegitan manusia.

Dalam aplikasinya perkembangan IPTEK di Indonesia terbilang lambat, masih banyak human resource yang belum mengerti akan IPTEK itu sendiri. Hal ini di perparah dengan keadaan ekonomi masyarakat  Indonesia sendiri. Mayoritas masyarakat Indonesia tergolong dalam jenjang kurang sejahtera, hal ini berpengaruh terhadap perkembanganIPTEK itu sendiri di Indonesia.

IPTEK sebenarnya dapat membantu masyarakat dalam permasalahan ekonominya, satu contoh dalam hal komunikasi, masyarakat dapat mudah menghubungi partner kerja di tempat yang terpencil sehingga akses ke daerah terpencil akan lebih mudah di capai melalui komunikasi terlebih dahulu, kemudian dalam bidang mencari lowongan pekerjaan, masyarakat yang sedang mencari pekerjaan akan mudah mendapatkan informasi melalui internet. IPTEK adalah salah satu alternatif lain bagi masyarkat untuk mengatasi problem ekonomi, bisa saja dengan IPTEK ini masyarakat akan lebih terbuka pengetahuannya sehingga dapat memunculkan ide-ide baru untuk berinovasi menciptakan peluang kerja baru.

Saat ini, bukan rahasia umum lagi apabila masih banyak masyarakat khususnya di Indonesia yang tidak mengerti akan IPTEK atau masyarakat yang belum siap mental akanIPTEK itu sendiri. Ketertinggalan akan penguasaan teknologi ini mengakibatkan lambatnya penerimaan bahkan penyrapan informasi yang mana pada masa ini hampir semua informasi dituangkan dalam internet akses. Apabila masyarakat tidak mampu menguasai teknologi sudah tentu semakin tertinggalnya mereka akan informasi yang merupakan gerbang dalam mencari pekerjaan untuk memperbaiki ekonomi mereka secara pribadi bahkan halayak luas.

Jadi, dapat disimpulkan bahwa teknologi bermetamorfosis menjadi satu hal yang wajib dikuasai oleh manusia apabila tidak ingin tertinggal akan informasi umum dan dampak bagi masyarakat yang tertinggal akan menjadi makin terpuruk apabila tidak sesegera mungkin memperbaiki kemampuannya akan penguasaan teknologi.

Defining Multicultural, Cross-cultural, and Intercultural Multicultural:

In multicultural communities, we live alongside one another.
We value tolerance, and celebrate one another’s culturally distinctive cuisine, dress, music, dance, and related outward expressions of culture. It usually requires only superficial and polite social interaction.
A multicultural community can also mean that
•
society allows and includes very distinct cultural groups, with equal status
•
people from different cultural groups are understood as standing side-by-side, at times in isolation from one another
• often there is a superficial celebration of food, folk, and festivals without deep learning
•
power differentials are not addressed; it does not allow for exchange between these cultural groups, and tends to only focus on representation.
Cross-cultural:
In cross-cultural communities, there is some reaching across boundaries.
We try to build bridges of relationship between our cultural communities by sharing, listening, learning, and being open to changing. It usually requires intentionality, and programs of education and community-building.
It also means that
The United Church of Canada L’Église Unie du Canada
Defining Multicultural, Cross-cultural, and Intercultural
•
two or more cultures are considered or related to
• often cultures are compared or contrasted with one another, and one culture is deemed superior or inferior to another
•
power differentials are still not addressed; it only allows for limited learning or exchange between cultural groups
•
cultural differences may be understood or acknowledged, but are also managed in a way that does not allow for individual or collective transformation
Intercultural:
In intercultural communities, there is comprehensive mutuality, reciprocity, and equality.
Our social structures and everyday interactions are defined by justice, mutuality, respect, equality, understanding, acceptance, freedom, diversity, peace-making, and celebration. Intercultural community hopes to take us deeper than multicultural or cross-cultural models of community.
It also means that
•
there are mutually reciprocal relationships among and between cultures
people from different cultural groups interact with one another, learn and grow together; build relationships and become transformed, shaped, and moulded from each other’s experiences
•
“intercultural” is not a substitute for “ethnic”!
•
the focus is on relationship building (not survival), deep connections, interactions, mutual gifting, respect, and learning from one another
•
no one is left unchanged in the intercultural process: some examine their own culture more deeply, some are changed through their interaction with others, many learn more about what it means to be in community together
•
racial and cultural power imbalances are addressed; people are enabled to learn from each other and lead toward the transformation of all peoples

Cross-Culture Communication

Collaborative Efforts a Must!

© iStockphoto/timsa

"We didn't all come over on the same ship, but we're all in the same boat." – Bernard Baruch, American financier and statesman.

It's no secret that today's workplace is rapidly becoming vast, as the business environment expands to include various geographic locations and span numerous cultures. What can be difficult, however, is understanding how to communicate effectively with individuals who speak another language, or who rely on different means to reach a common goal.

Cross-Cultural Communication – The New Norm

The Internet and modern technology have opened up new marketplaces that allow us to promote our businesses to new geographic locations and cultures. And given that it can now be as easy to work with people remotely as it is to work face-to-face, cross-cultural communication is increasingly the new norm.
After all, if communication is electronic, it's as easy to work with someone in another country as it is to work with someone in the next town.
And why limit yourself to working with people within convenient driving distance when, just as conveniently, you can work with the most knowledgeable people in the entire world?
For those of us who are native English-speakers, it is fortunate that English seems to be the language that people use if they want to reach the widest possible audience. However, even for native English speakers, cross-cultural communication can be an issue: Just witness the mutual incomprehension that can sometimes arise between people from different English-speaking countries.
In this new world, good cross-cultural communication is a must.

Tip:

This is just one of our many resources on working effectively in different cultures. See our Understanding Culture and Managing Around the World sections for more on working with people from different cultures and backgrounds.

Understanding Cultural Diversity

Given different cultural contexts, this brings new communication challenges to the workplace. Even when employees located in different locations or offices speak the same language (for instance, correspondences between English-speakers in the U.S. and English-speakers in the UK), there are some cultural differences that should be considered in an effort to optimize communications between the two parties.
In such cases, an effective communication strategy begins with the understanding that the sender of the message and the receiver of the message are from different cultures and backgrounds. Of course, this introduces a certain amount of uncertainty, making communications even more complex.
Without getting into cultures and sub-cultures, it is perhaps most important for people to realize that a basic understanding of cultural diversity is the key to effective cross-cultural communications. Without necessarily studying individual cultures and languages in detail, we must all learn how to better communicate with individuals and groups whose first language, or language of choice, does not match our own.

Developing Awareness of Individual Cultures

However, some learning the basics about culture and at least something about the language of communication in different countries is important. This is necessary even for the basic level of understanding required to engage in appropriate greetings and physical contact, which can be a tricky area inter-culturally. For instance, kissing a business associate is not considered an appropriate business practice in the U.S., but in Paris, one peck on each cheek is an acceptable greeting. And, the firm handshake that is widely accepted in the U.S. is not recognized in all other cultures.
While many companies now offer training in the different cultures where the company conducts business, it is important that employees communicating across cultures practice patience and work to increase their knowledge and understanding of these cultures. This requires the ability to see that a person's own behaviors and reactions are oftentimes culturally driven and that while they may not match our own, they are culturally appropriate.
If a leader or manager of a team that is working across cultures or incorporates individuals who speak different languages, practice different religions, or are members of a society that requires a new understanding, he or she needs to work to convey this.
Consider any special needs the individuals on your team may have. For instance, they may observe different holidays, or even have different hours of operation. Be mindful of time zone differences and work to keep everyone involved aware and respectful of such differences.
Generally speaking, patience, courtesy and a bit of curiosity go a long way. And, if you are unsure of any differences that may exist, simply ask team members. Again, this may best be done in a one-on-one setting so that no one feels "put on the spot" or self-conscious, perhaps even embarrassed, about discussing their own needs or differences or needs.

Demand Tolerance

Next, cultivate and demand understanding and tolerance  . In doing this, a little education will usually do the trick. Explain to team members that the part of the team that works out of the Australia office, for example, will be working in a different time zone, so electronic communications and/or return phone calls will experience a delay. And, members of the India office will also observe different holidays (such as Mahatma Gandhi's Birthday, observed on October 2).
Most people will appreciate the information and will work hard to understand different needs and different means used to reach common goals. However, when this is not the case, lead by example and make it clear that you expect to be followed down a path of open-mindedness, acceptance and tolerance.

Tip:

Tolerance is essential. However, you need to maintain standards of acceptable behavior. The following "rules of thumb" seem universal:

• Team members should contribute to and not hinder the team's mission or harm the delivery to the team's customer.
• Team members should not damage the cohesion of the team or prevent it from becoming more effective.
• Team members should not unnecessarily harm the interests of other team members.

Other factors (such as national law) are obviously important.

When dealing with people in a different culture, courtesy and goodwill can also go a long way in ensuring successful communication. Again, this should be insisted on.
If your starting point in solving problems is to assume that communication has failed, you'll find that many problems are quickly resolved.

Keep it Simple

When you communicate, keep in mind that even though English is considered the international language of business, it is a mistake to assume that every businessperson speaks good English. In fact, only about half of the 800 million people who speak English learned it as a first language. And, those who speak it as a second language are often more limited than native speakers.
When you communicate cross-culturally, make particular efforts to keeping your communication clear, simple and unambiguous.
And (sadly) avoid humor until you know that the person you're communicating with "gets it" and isn't offended by it. Humor is notoriously culture-specific: Many things that pass for humor in one culture can be seen as grossly offensive in another.

Why is writing an essay so frustrating? Learning how to write an essay can be a maddening, exasperating process, but it doesn't have to be. If you know the steps and understand what to do, writing can be easy and even fun. This site, "How To Write an Essay: 10 Easy Steps," offers a ten-step process that teaches students how to write an essay. Links to the writing steps are found on the left, and additional writing resources are located across the top.

Learning how to write an essay doesn't have to involve so much trial and error.

Brief Overview of the 10 Essay Writing Steps

Below are brief summaries of each of the ten steps to writing an essay. Select the links for more info on any particular step, or use the blue navigation bar on the left to proceed through the writing steps. How To Write an Essay can be viewed sequentially, as if going through ten sequential steps in an essay writing process, or can be explored by individual topic.

1. Research: Begin the essay writing process by researching your topic, making yourself an expert. Utilize the internet, the academic databases, and the library. Take notes and immerse yourself in the words of great thinkers.
2. Analysis: Now that you have a good knowledge base, start analyzing the arguments of the essays you're reading. Clearly define the claims, write out the reasons, the evidence. Look for weaknesses of logic, and also strengths. Learning how to write an essay begins by learning how to analyze essays written by others.
3. Brainstorming: Your essay will require insight of your own, genuine essay-writing brilliance. Ask yourself a dozen questions and answer them. Meditate with a pen in your hand. Take walks and think and think until you come up with original insights to write about.
4. Thesis: Pick your best idea and pin it down in a clear assertion that you can write your entire essay around. Your thesis is your main point, summed up in a concise sentence that lets the reader know where you're going, and why. It's practically impossible to write a good essay without a clear thesis.
5. Outline: Sketch out your essay before straightway writing it out. Use one-line sentences to describe paragraphs, and bullet points to describe what each paragraph will contain. Play with the essay's order. Map out the structure of your argument, and make sure each paragraph is unified.
6. Introduction: Now sit down and write the essay. The introduction should grab the reader's attention, set up the issue, and lead in to your thesis. Your intro is merely a buildup of the issue, a stage of bringing your reader into the essay's argument.
(Note: The title and first paragraph are probably the most important elements in your essay. This is an essay-writing point that doesn't always sink in within the context of the classroom. In the first paragraph you either hook the reader's interest or lose it. Of course your teacher, who's getting paid to teach you how to write an essay, will read the essay you've written regardless, but in the real world, readers make up their minds about whether or not to read your essay by glancing at the title alone.)
7. Paragraphs: Each individual paragraph should be focused on a single idea that supports your thesis. Begin paragraphs with topic sentences, support assertions with evidence, and expound your ideas in the clearest, most sensible way you can. Speak to your reader as if he or she were sitting in front of you. In other words, instead of writing the essay, try talking the essay.
8. Conclusion: Gracefully exit your essay by making a quick wrap-up sentence, and then end on some memorable thought, perhaps a quotation, or an interesting twist of logic, or some call to action. Is there something you want the reader to walk away and do? Let him or her know exactly what.
9. MLA Style: Format your essay according to the correct guidelines for citation. All borrowed ideas and quotations should be correctly cited in the body of your text, followed up with a Works Cited (references) page listing the details of your sources.
10. Language: You're not done writing your essay until you've polished your language by correcting the grammar, making sentences flow, incoporating rhythm, emphasis, adjusting the formality, giving it a level-headed tone, and making other intuitive edits. Proofread until it reads just how you want it to sound. Writing an essay can be tedious, but you don't want to bungle the hours of conceptual work you've put into writing your essay by leaving a few slippy misppallings and pourly wordedd phrazies..
You're done. Great job. Now move over Ernest Hemingway — a new writer is coming of age! (Of course Hemingway was a fiction writer, not an essay writer, but he probably knew how to write an essay just as well.)
