Badamai Culture Communication: Character Development of National Law

Abstract

Basically, cultural communication is ordinary communication; what distinguishes it is the people involved in the communication differ in terms of background.

What distinguishes it is that the people involved in the communication differ in terms of background. From the description above, it turns out that the Adat Badamai community of Banjar, South Kalimantan, has cultural values that are very important to be maintained and preserved. The Badamai tradition teaches us that in living a social life, if there is a dispute, it is as much as possible to resolve it in a family way by deliberation for consensus and asking for papadah (advice) from wise people. Apart from that, maintaining harmony through Adat Badamai can also be done with the culture of raising dangsanak to expand a sense of solidarity (kinship).
