THE PATTERN OF COMMUNICATION ETHNOGRAPHY OF THE STREET CHILDREN IN BANDAR LAMPUNG
Abstract: Street children are
an asset to the country. The problem of street children in the State of
Indonesia is not just in the economic, environmental and educational inequality
matters, but also in the national pride that must be maintained. Street
children are a problem in every city, without exception in the city of Bandar
Lampung. Many things can cause a child becoming street children. One of the
reasons is the economic factor. Some cases explain that a street child actually
directed by his parents to sing and beg in order to ease the economic burden of
the family. Of course this is not good for the development of children’s
education. Starting from the concept of the mapped problems of street children,
this study focuses on perspective of socio-cultural. Ethnography of
Communication Theory is a guide to map out this concept. Ethnography of
communication patterns of children are begging and singing by not giving share
and giving share to the individual/ specific thugs; begging and singing
intentionally or unintentionally by using others as an attraction; and begging
and singing intentionally or unintentionally by exploiting weaknesses/physical
disability.
