Key words: Social status, Slaves, historical approach vii
ABSTRAK Skripsi ini mengenai tentang pengalaman hidup para budak di United States pada tahun 1858 dalam film Django Unchained. Tujuan dari studi ini adalah untuk menjelaskan bahwa status sosial tidak hanya digunakan di lingkungan saja, tapi juga di sebuah kelompok sosial, keluarga, dan organisasi. Penulis menggunakan pendekatan socio-historical untuk mengetahui bagaimana para budak mendapatkan status dan hak istimewa dalam sebuah kelompok budak. Melalui pendekatan socio-historical, penulis memperoleh bahwa para budak mempunyai dua status, status yang diturunkan dan status yang didapatkan. Budak itu sendiri dapat di golongkan lagi ke dalam tiga kelas yang berbeda : bawah, menengah dan atas. Status-status tersebut dapat memberi fungsi, aturan, perbedan hak istimewa, hak, dan kewajiban dalam masyarakat. Kata kunci: Status social, budak, dan pendekatan sejarah viii
