The Potential of Horizontal Conflict in the Medan City, Indonesia

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 5

Abstract

Medan City is inhabited by many ethnic called as multy-ethnic. Although the Malay tribe is the original tribe but it is not the majority tribe. The majority tribe is Java, although the Javanese tribe as a majority tribe, they no longer practice Javanese culture strictly. It is blended with Malay culture, Batak culture, as well as other tribes. However, in the use of the symbols and the characteristics of each tribe remains to surface, for example, the existence of associations based on tribes, clans, religious unity and others. The emergence of seeds of conflict in the city of Medan is partly caused by a clash of interests between the various tribes that inhabit it, then associated with ethnic, tribal, class and even with belief or religion that they embraced.
