Abstract

Untuk memiliki kondisi kehidupan yang lebih baik, menghindari hukum negara mereka, atau mendapatkan pekerjaan yang bagus dan mendapatkan gaji yang baik adalah beberapa alasan mengapa imigran dari India datang ke Amerika. Namun menjadi imigran tidaklah mudah. Generasi pertama imigran India di Amerika cenderung menghadapi tekanan terkait pengalaman migrasi mereka karena imigran dituntut untuk selalu beradaptasi dengan kehidupan baru dan budaya baru. Generasi kedua imigran India juga harus beradaptasi dengan sistem budaya yang berbeda antara apa yang diajarkan orang tuanya, dengan budaya lingkungan mereka di luar rumah. Karena hidup dengan dua budaya yang berbeda, generasi kedua imigran India terpaksa memiliki identitas ganda yaitu India dan Amerika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kesenjangan generasi yang menyebabkan konflik akibat perbedaan nilai budaya yang dianut antara generasi pertama dan kedua dengan menggunakan pendekatan Sosiologi Sastra. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kesenjangan generasi yang terjadi antara kedua generasi tersebut disebabkan oleh perbedaan nilai-nilai ajaran budaya yang mereka anut serta perbedaan cara berpikir, berpakaian, berperilaku, memilih makanan, dan cara pandang mereka dalam menerapkan nilai-nilai budaya yang mereka anut di kehidupan sehari-hari. Generasi pertama cenderung mempraktekkan nilai-nilai budaya lama yaitu India, sedangkan generasi kedua cenderung beradaptasi dengan nilai-nilai budaya baru yaitu Amerika. Situasi kehidupan dimana generasi pertama dan generasi kedua memiliki perbedaan budaya menyebabkan kesenjangan generasi yang terjadi di antara kedua generasi tersebut sehingga menimbulkan banyak konflik di antara mereka yang digambarkan dalam serial film Never Have I Ever. Saran yang ditujukan kepada peneliti selanjutnya adalah untuk fokus meneliti dalam konteks psikologi sosial generasi kedua yang memiliki tekanan pada proses adaptasi terhadap budaya Amerika.

English Abstract

To have better living conditions, evade the laws of their country, or get a good job and earn a good salary are some of the reasons why immigrants from India come to America. But being an immigrant is not easy. The first generation of Indian immigrants in America tends to face pressures related to their migration experience as immigrants and are required to constantly adapt to new life and new culture. The second generation of Indian immigrants also had to adapt to a different cultural system between what their parents taught them and the culture in their environment outside the house. Therefore, living with two different cultures, the second generation of Indian immigrants are forced to have a dual identity which is Indian and American. This study aims to analyze the generation gap that causes conflict due to differences in cultural values adopted between the first and second generations by using a Sociological Approach to Literature. The results show that the generation gap that occurs between the two generations is caused by differences in the values of the cultural teachings they adhere to as well as differences in the way they think, dress, behave, eat, and the way they apply the cultural values they adhere to in their daily lives. The first generation tends to practice their former cultural values, namely India, while the second generation tends to adapt to new cultural values, namely America. The life situation where the first generation and the second generation have cultural differences caused a generation gap that occurred between the two generations and caused many conflicts between them which is depicted in the movie series Never Have I Ever. Suggestions addressed to future researchers are to focus on researching in the context of the social psychology of the second generation which has pressure on the adaptation process to American culture.
