Social Context Sample Clauses

Social Context. According to Xxxxxxxx, the American tendency to litigiousness expressed and accentuated the pursuit of individual advantage in a society founded on individualism.12 In Indonesia, litigation occurs within a very different cultural context where individualism and litigiousness is certainly not yet a dominant feature. Traditional culture values tend rather to accentuate the need for harmony and compromise, rather than the assertion of individual rights.13 For this reason, mediation may be a more “comfortable” cultural choice in Indonesia than litigation. Victims of environmental damage or pollution are also in most cases the VŒkߌt k9CUt (‘little people’), who may be farmers, workers and others in the lower socio-economic strata of society. People from this stratum of society typically have minimal or no experience of navigating state institutions and processes such as litigation. Culturally, they may also be more accustomed to deferring to, rather than questioning, authority figures. Thus, the cultural attitudes and experience of pollution victims may not also support the use of litigation as a dispute resolution option.14 Attitudes of cultural submissiveness may also be strongly reinforced in an environment of political repression. In some cases, victims of environmental damage or pollution may be unwilling to undertake litigation due to the possible sanctions that this might result in, whether legal, economic or extra- legal.
