As a country with a pluralistic background inhabited by various ethnicities, racial religions and Indonesian culture, certainly requires an in-depth study of the fulfilment of minority rights in the political institutions. This paper is a simple theoretical study of a combination of multiculturalism and institutionalism approaches to explain the prospects of minority involvement in formulating public policies and political institutions that must be present in accommodating the political rights of minority groups. The conclusions in this article are, the power of multiculturalism in political institutions is as follows: (1) multicultural countries must be able to provide lessons for the whole world about the meaning of diversity; (2) the institution becomes a bridge in absorbing all the aspirations of the people and carrying out the law and applying the law indiscriminately; (3) multiculturalism is actually not enough to discuss minority rights in political institutions but conflicts with grassroots sources; (4) the strength of multiculturalism in political institutions is how this study works in maintaining the harmony of the nation and state.
This article aims to analyze how the media does the simulate discourse in reality and to reveal how the media through their discourse play a political role in social life. The critical perspective of Jean Baudrillard's simulation theory is used as the basic approach for this research. The results of the research indicate that the media discourse through its simulation process has carried out the construction of reality which led to the establishment of a certain ideology that can stimulate the emergence of various needs that must be met by the audience. This need is then used by the media into forms of artificial reality which then directs the audience's perspective and political activities into virtual spaces. This political virtuality then creates a certain political ideology in the context of the audience's political life.
