Abstract

Reproduction of violence in Bangkalan Madura often occurs; this is influenced by carok culture, which is passed down from generation to generation. Carok is one of the acts of violence that has become cultural and rooted in the community of Bangkalan, Madura. Carok's actions were taken in defending his pride, the way to solve the problem that led to this act of violence positively affected the character and attitude of the young generation of Bangkalan. This study examines the effect of reproduction of violence inherited from today's young generation, what must be done to stop the reproduction of this violence. The method used is a survey and interview with youth in Bangkalan, Madura. The results of this study indicate that the Carok tradition still influences the younger generation in Bangkalan Madura, this is because of the high value of self-esteem and the encouragement of the social environment of the Bangkalan Madura community. The act of violence in the form of carok often gets support from the social environment, and this is what then triggers the aggressive and temporal attitude of the Madurese community. In some cases of carok, what happens is always triggered by the same motives, namely, wife's honour, self-esteem and revenge.
