VIOLENCE NEVER ENDING:CASE STUDI AT EXTERNAL STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS IN MAKASSAR-INDONESIA

Abstract

The campus at Makassar is experiencing an increase in incidents of college violence. This study investigates if there is a relationship between student unity and organizational principles supporting mass violence. Students from two different ethnic groups who are members of local student organizations participated in interviews for this study. Student organizations with a strong sense of community have made it so that the principles upheld by those organizations bind members. Senior students have the power to instil local beliefs that cause student organizations to feel morally obligated to assist peers who are having issues. This study provides a conclusive response to organizational principles and student unity that support mass violence. Additional research is required to examine student violence across a range of backgrounds and the academic climate in institutions. The coaching model used with external students will likely be impacted by differences in the college's educational climate and background organizations.
