The effect of globalisation has resulted in young people, especially young people today, who are more proud of foreign cultures than our own. This is because they feel more popular if they follow the culture that comes from foreign countries. Our young people in Indonesia feel less confident, so that Indonesia in the eyes of international countries does not show cultural progress, and the Indonesian state in the eyes of the world is still far behind. Thus, preserving our culture can have a very big role on the development of the character of young people in Indonesia, especially adolescents who are cultured "SARUMA". Thus, preserving culture can provide an important role in the development of the character of adolescents in Indonesia, especially adolescents who are cultured "SARUMA". In the era of globalisation, character education plays an active role in overcoming the moral crisis that has ravaged villages, village heads, sub-districts to South Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province. However with the SARUMA culture leading them out of the dark mindset, that is not understood by a handful of people / communities who are in conflict with bringing the issue of ethnicity, religion, race, and between groups (SARA), in South Halmahera Regency, this can reduce the conflict that occurred at that time. And thank God Almighty that he still gave instructions and his pleasure to be able to make peace, and now all members of the people of South Halmahera Regency visit each other, respect each other, and associate with them like their own siblings. So, the "SARUMA" culture is very dominant even though it is still local, but the values contained therein are very universal. © 2020, Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
