Abstract

Background: Globalization has changed how people live. Yet, it has never been as much as how millennials has to deal with it. However, how millennials‘ life particularly in developing countries shaped by the globalization is not been much discussed. The paper aims to determine the description and impact of the intensity of the use of social media on the form of social interaction for millennial families in Makassar City Materials and Methods: This research is a qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. The subjects in this study are five families who were born in 1965-1976 or between 43 and 54 years old with millennial children between 15-25 years old. Data collection was carried out in the following stages: data reduction, data display, data analysis, verification, data validity and conclusions. The data collection was taken by in-depth interviews and observation. Data from observations and interviews were processed and analyzed qualitatively. Results: The results showed that first, the social interaction model of the family with millennial in it has undergone a fundamental change. This includes the aspect of the millennial communication which initially used more forms of indirect communication rather than direct communication. They rather rely on social media for information source than asking their parents. Second, there is also a positive link between the intensity of using social media and the social interactions within the family with millennial. This positive link reflects through the continuity of having intimate family relationship and the form of family interaction which is associative. Further, the associative social interactions between family‘s members are built in three forms: accommodation, assimilation and acculturation. This accommodation or social adjustment process is carried out by the family in order to obtain a balance within their family. Only by then the harmony can be achieved. In addition, they also have a ‗cooperative‘ relationship. This relation can be built as a result of the ‗assimilation‘ process. Since millennial children have experienced universal cultural exchanges, they have very different mindsets, attitudes and behaviors from their parents Conclusion: The linkage between intensity of using social media to the social interactions of millennial families in Makassar City is positive. It means that their relationship remains intimate and the form of interaction is associative through three forms, namely accommodation, assimilation and acculturation. They make "accommodation", where parents and children and other family members try to make a compromise. Father, mother and millennial children reduce each other's demands, respect each other and understand both similarities and differences
