Introduction
Culture in an area is a habit or an activity that has been carried out for a long time and continues to occur from generation to generation and becomes part of the people in the area.Culture is also referred to as a heritage that shows a historical value.Indonesia itself has many traditions and cultures that are widespread in various regions so that this is completely in line with the motto "Bhinneka Tunggal Ika" which proves that this motto is real.According to Widyosiswoyo (2009) culture or culture comes from the word budh which means idea, which then becomes the word budhi or bhudaya meaning the result of human thoughts or ideas.Culture is the result of ideas or human endeavors.
Culture is also the fruit of human wisdom as a result of human struggle against the times and nature to achieve safety and happiness which has an orderly and peaceful nature (Dewantara, 1994).
Culture is something that must be learned and informed from person to person or from generation to generation.Culture itself is ethnocentric which means that the culture of each region is the best.Culture is also not fixed but dynamic and will continue to change following the times (Mulyana, 2005).Culture has an essential nature where culture is formed and channeled from human behavior and has existed long before the birth of a generation and does not disappear or die when the generation ends.Culture is needed by humans and is created because of human behavior (Setiadi, 2007).
North Sulawesi has many cultures and customs that characterize or identity of various regions spread across North Sulawesi Province.One of the famous cultures is the Culture of Gratitude.This culture used to be called "Foso Rummages Um Banua" as a gratitude ritual for offerings called "rerumetaan" meaning offerings to God and "ja se weteng" meaning offerings as a symbol of respect for ancestors.The culmination of this ritual used to be carried out before sunrise with the intention that the efforts, efforts and hard work to be carried out may get a new spirit and when the morning all residents will be invited by the ancestors to jointly enjoy the blessings obtained (Aprilia, 2017).
Over time, this culture began to change into an event or feast held by the Minahasa community in the Church environment because most Minahasa people embrace Christianity.In addition to the church yard, this event can be held in their respective homes which makes this event a place to get together with extended family.The more unique thing in this culture is that anyone can come to eat and visit so that it becomes a symbol that the village community always shares blessings with anyone not only with certain families or groups.
In living together and side by side with others, it is very important to have an attitude of tolerance.Tolerance is an attitude and action that respects differences in religion, ethnicity and opinions of others that are different from oneself.Tolerance is an attitude of respect for differences between people with one another.The existence of a tolerant attitude is expected that the community is able to coexist among the various differences that exist (Ministry of Education, 2010).Tolerance is one of mutual respect without discriminating.Tolerant means being able to respect other people even though they are aware of differences.Someone who has a tolerant attitude means that he/she is roomy in accepting differences and does not discriminate against friends or others who have different beliefs.Tolerant also does not impose its will on others, especially regarding beliefs and gives a freedom and is able to get along and be kind and not hurt others (Suparlan, 2008).
Harmony is harmony without strife and a state of peace to help each other.Rukun means a harmonious situation in a particular group or society.The harmonious situation in question is a condition or state of peace, working together and accepting each other's personalities (Suseno, 1996).Harmony is an atmosphere of brotherhood and togetherness that unites all people despite differences in ethnicity, race and belief or religion (Arifinsyah et al., 2018).The attitude of harmony has an understanding that harmony is not only about creating a condition or state of mutual respect and appreciation but rather the realization of a group of people who live together in mutual cooperation in differences in religion, culture or customs (Mursyid et al., 2008).
Although it has so many traditions and cultures that aim to uphold an attitude of tolerance, it is inevitable that there are still many cases and problems related to community harmony, as well as the lack of people upholding tolerance so that divisions and conflicts often occur.Starting from the description above and from the results of the researcher's observations, the researcher is interested in making a study with the title "The Influence of the Culture of Thanksgiving and Tolerance on Community Harmony in the Parish of the Resurrection of Christ Amurang".The researcher wants to see whether the culture of thanksgiving and tolerance affects the harmony of the people in the Parish of the Resurrection of Christ Amurang.So far, people have seen the relationship between tolerance and harmony, but through this research, researchers also want to see the relationship between the culture of thanksgiving and the harmony of the people in Amurang.
