EasyChair Preprint 3765

Abstract

This article is a study of the mythology and rituals of the Bolaang Mongondow people that shapes their concept of world view. The study was conducted using descriptive methods built from literature research (documentary analysis). The results of this study show that the traditional cultural values of the Bolaang Mongondow people form their concept of world view, including their beliefs in the background of popular religion with animism-dynamism patterns and feudal lifestyles. This then forms their worldview which still influences their attitudes and behavior despite social changes because time always leads to the future. Thus it can determine the whole service approach that is contextual and relevant to the Bolaang Mongondow community.
