Exclusivism


According KBBI exclusivism word consists of two words, namely "exclusive" which means that apart from the others, specially, and "isms" which means understand. While KBBI states exclusivism is understanding which have a tendency to separate themselves from society. In social life would seem social class and social status in society. If someone is on the top layer, middle or bottom, and whether he was among those who were in the upper class, middle, or bottom, and it is a form of social stratification. Social stratification that shape social strata is also a subculture, has made a group in certain layers show the exclusiveness of each. Exclusivity, can be lifestyle, behavior, and also their habits are often different from one layer to another layer. The lifestyle of the upper layer will be different from the lifestyle of middle and lower layers. And from the behavior of each of its members, all of which can be distinguished. Thus, we can determine a person's social class origins. Exclusivity that is often restricts the social interaction between certain classes, they are reluctant to associate with the underlying social class or just want to hang out with the same class with them.

There are several causes of exclusivism :

1.     Religion
Religion is a belief system and system actions are followed by individuals in their lives. As a system of belief and action systems, religion has placed individuals to embrace and believe in their respective religions. In this regard religion as an absolute belief for every adherents. Religion will be the differentiator between individuals to one another, also between a group with other groups of different faiths. Religion as a belief system can not be compared in which the levels are higher and which is lower. Therefore, religion will be seen as something between one religion with another religion. The existence of religion as a belief system has given rise to fanaticism in his followers. Fanaticism is often cause problems in people's lives. People often say that religion has two face. On the one hand it can unite the various individuals with various problems that exist, but on the other hand can make people fight over religion. Often also a religious people feel the true religion, so often a lot of discord among the people due regard other religions are wrong. 

Wealth or income


Wealth and income are two things that closely related, when income is a lot, then wealth will also increase. Those who are rich have a great income and will occupy the upper class, while those who are income poor and will occupy the lower class. He who has the most wealth, will occupy the top layer. Such property, for example can be seen from the house, private car, how to dress and material types used, habit or way of shopping.

3.      Job
Jobs in addition as a means of generating revenue, also showed that it contains the status of the award. This type of work will determine a person's income and the public will also award a person who has a job. Like Karl Marx distinguishes bourgeois class as people who have the capital and the proletariat as the only person who has any power or labor. People who have jobs with high salary, will be more appreciated than low-income people, because they will be having more wealth than people who have small salary.

4.       Education
Stratified education in our society. For example, can be divided into primary education, secondary education, and higher education. People who graduated from higher education degree is usually awarded in accordance with such expertise. People who have a "title" usually considered "well" and was to be treated special in people's lives.

And this is the positive effect of the presence of exclusivism

Increase spirit on society to get a better life 
In human life there is something valuable that a limited number which serves to meet the various needs of human life. Acceptance of something that is valuable to the individual not the same, because to get it need struggle and takes effort. During in the public there is something worthwhile then during there will be a social stratification. For they who occupy the middle and lower social classes have a desire to improve their social class be the upper social class and middle class. While that which has been in the upper social class, even upper class trying to maintain what they already have. Basically every person strives to achieve social class or social standing as high. Their efforts to obtain such a position will be made by any person to prepare the next generation for the sake of a better status. For the example still growing an opinion that the civil employee would be better and more respected (albeit small salary) compared with private employee, is a proof that a person's work is still considered high and low to describe the position of a person. So many people who try and fight hard to be civil employee. 
Because many people who try and fight hard to get a good job and increase spirit on society to get a better life, So exclusivism good in people's lives.

And then the negatif effect  of the presence of exclusivism

Cause conflicts in society 
People's lives-grade class will cause a gap in public life would lead to conflict and threaten the harmony of function patterns of community life. because there are layers of social measures such as wealth, power, and education. There will be differences of interests between social classes in society. then in this condition there will be a group that seeks to dominate other groups because they are in the upper class and have everything. while the older generation continues to maintain the values ​​and the younger generation wants to make changes, then there will be a conflict in society. For example labor demonstrations demanding wage increases, illustrates the conflict between the working class entrepreneurs, student brawls, the war between villages, Promiscuity that today many young people in Indonesia do so contrary to the values ​​of the older generation embraced. It all happened because of the gap due to social stratification and they felt he was the most correct.


All ethnic groups must have weaknesses and advantages of each. that's why there are tribes of the earth shall know each other, interact and complement each other in order to create social peace. Bhinneka Tunggal Ika’s principles that can be developed in the life of society, nation and state.
