Abstract

Muslims are a minority group in the United States because they are a religious group that is fewer in number than the majority of the population. Minority group is a group of people who are different from most people in one area or particular place. This difference can be seen from their physical or cultural characteristics. Because of their differences, they are often treated unfairly and feel discriminated against. American Eid (2021) reveals how the minorities survive in majority countries, especially how they struggle to get their rights and how they are treated by the government. This short movie shows the cultural and religious experiences of immigrant Pakistani Muslims living in America. They experience culture shock during the Eid. Therefore, Ameena, the main character, struggles and tries to change her school rules so that she can get a day off to celebrate Eid. This research aims to prove that minority groups also have the ability to express their opinions and contribute significantly. This shows that they are not just passive participants, but can also play an active role in influencing decisions and participate significantly. This qualitative descriptive research uses minority influence by Moscovici. This research found that Ameena, as a representation of the minority group can influence one of the majority group, Mrs. Stone, in changing her responses and decisions by giving Ameena the opportunity to celebrate Eid in the class. Even though, changes are not on a large scale, minority groups can influence changes in perspectives and social changes. Success factors carried out by Ameena in the form of consistent efforts, along with a strong commitment, confidence and refusal of compromise can lead to significant changes and influence the final impact of those efforts.
