Abstract

Akulturasi dapat terjadi dimana saja di belahan dunia. Akulturasi juga dapat dijelaskan sebagai perpaduan budaya dan nilai diantara dua etnis dan budaya serta nilai yang berbeda di waktu yang sama. Penulis melakukan penelitian tentang akulturasi yang terjadi diantara nilai-nilai Amerika dengan nilai-nilai Afro-Amerika oleh karakter utama pemeran film The Equalizer (2014) disutradarai oleh Antoine Fuqua. Dalam penelitian ini yang akan dibahas adalah bagaimana akulturasi nilai-nilai Amerika diperankan oleh karakter seorang Afro-Amerika yang memiliki nilai tersendiri dalam film The Equalizer. Penelitian ini menggunakan teori akulturasi dari Berry untuk menghubungkan proses perpaduan nilai-nilai Amerika yang diperankan Robert McCall, karakter utama seorang Afro-Amerika dalam film The Equalizer. Hasil studi penulis menunjukkan bahwa nilai-nilai Amerika berupa individual freedom, self-reliance, material wealth, dan hard work terakulturasi dengan nilai-nilai Afro-Amerika seperti communalism, social time perspective yang dimiliki oleh Robert McCall secara baik dalam tingkatan grup dan prosesnya dipengaruhi oleh beberapa karakter pendukung dalam film tersebut. Untuk penelitian berikutnya, penulis menyarankan menggunakan teori diskriminasi untuk meneliti interaksi antar karakter berdasarkan ras dalam film The Equalizer ini. Tak hanya itu, penulis juga menyarankan diskusi psychological struggle tehadap Ralph dalam objek film The Equalizer ini.
