Literature Review on Minority and Majority in Community as Times Developed

Abstract

This study aims to describe the literature review about the minority and the majority in society over the times. Minorities and the majority in Indonesia are closely related to religious groups, however, this study examines minorities and the majority in general, whether gender, race, ethnicity, culture and so on. So that several classifications of minorities emerged, namely religious, ethnic, linguistic and different gender expression groups. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a literature review approach. The research stages were carried out starting from article collection, article reduction, article display, discussion, and conclusion. The source of research data is in the form of national articles for the period 2013-2022. The results of this literature review show that it is true that in previous years, Indonesia was still hard on discrimination against minority groups. However, as time goes by and the efforts of resistance and selfdefense from minority groups, eventually they are slowly able to convince the majority to be accepted and treated fairly without discrimination, whether discrimination in the form of verbal or non-verbal, directly or indirectly.
