2.2 Theory of Sociology
Sociology is an independent field of study which studies human, society and their problem as the object of the study syani, 2002:17. Since from that point,
sociology is the proper field of study to analyze the problems. The problems that often appear are humanization and dehumanization.
2.2.1 Humanization
The term humanization is derived from the word humanism which means a system of thought Oxford Advanced Learner Dictionary seventh edition,
2005:729. This system of thought considers that solving human problem with the help of reason is more important than that of religious belief. Humanization
emphasizes the fact that the basic nature of human is good. It is important for people to have the quality of humanism firmly in their heart and feeling and is
also practised in life to be able to live harmoniously with other in a society. In addition people need to communicate, get acquainted with others and build a
relationship. To reach those all people need to hold humanism. People can feel
11
another people’s feeling by saying congratulations on happy occasions and show the feeling of sympathy in sad occasions.
It is important to implement humanistic behaviour in a society in order to form a humanistic attitude because attitude can be influenced by the environment.
Kimball Young 1957:77 stated: An attitude is essentially a form of anticipatory response, a
beginning of action which is not necessary completed. This readiness to react moreover, implies some kind of stimulating
situation, either specific or general. Also, attitudes tend to have stability and persistence.
Mar’at Walgito, 2003:22 stated that situation is one of the factors that influences attitude. While Floyd Allport Walgito, 2003:20 said that the bahavior in social
interaction is determined by many factors. One of the factors is the interference by other person with their various specific bahavior. It can be concluded that a good
attitude is a modal to make a qualified relationship and a qualified relationship is one of the ways to live harmoniously in society.
Nevertheless, nothing is perfect. Every ill treatment such as accusing someone for a crime that has not been proved yet who the doer is, taking a dim
view of someone just because he has a different skin colour, will cause bad effect. The inequitable treatment to others arises negative impact. Perhaps at first the
inequitable treatment might be just a prejudice or notion but later it becomes an accusation and this will make a serious problem. For example if they had words
with other, the way people face the problem is different from each other. If they solve the problem in a peaceful way, using their humanization point of view for
example, so they can solve the problem easier. Regarding the opponent not as an
12
opponent but as a fellow human who deserves of moral consideration, realizing that everyone can makes mistakes for no one is perfect but Him, and shaping the
mind that everyone deserves to get apologize are some of the humanization point of views that can be used as guidelines or principles to solve a problem. In this
way, the quarrel can be reframed in a peaceful way. Nevertheless, if they still continue the quarrel and regard the opponent as an evil and even regard them as
less than human this will lead them into the dehumanization. The recent example that appears in real life is the criminal prosecution of a farmer to be jailed for what
he has done. He took a watermelon from his neighbour’s garden because he and his family were starving. It will end differently if the owner of the garden
apologized the farmer and it is better if he helped him by giving food.
2.2.2 Dehumanization
