In essence, social life consists of an innumerable number of actions and reactions, both between individuals and between groups. The attitude of life that has high tolerance and mutual cooperation which is owned by the interaction between the Bugis and the Javanese is a reflection of local wisdom originating from Java, which is where its own origin today has been gradually eroded and can be destroyed and replaced with the philosophy of modern life.

The social interactions that occur between the Bugis and Javanese tribes and local residents are because each party has something to achieve, be it social, economic, trade, agriculture, plantation, education, culture, politics and security aspects. In communicating or social interactions, both individuals and groups often go through the media (social interaction). Media for social interaction is not always electronic objects or equipment, but can also work, situations, or conditions that create or encourage people to engage in social interaction in the context of clarity, problem-solving, or clarification of a problem or request for information.­
