---

ABSTRACT

Freedom and human rights are constant struggle that humanity try to achieve. The diversity in
our society creates different point of view and moral value. Sometimes the diversity itself became a
barrier for us to reach mutual understanding between each other. People that unable to accept the concept
of diversity could possibly force their moral value upon others and ignite conflict that cripples the
progress of freedom and human rights. 12 Years a Slave movie is the perfect representation of this case, it
showed us the life experience of Solomon Northup that was born as a freeman in America but then
enslaved by people that did not even consider him as a human being because the color of his skin. This
movie told us about the two sides of ideology that clash between each other and the result because of it,
learning from history is crucial in order to prevent society to commit the same mistake or experience the
same tragedy.
Descriptive qualitative approach was used in this research. The research focused on two
purposes namely to identify the form of slavery that occur in the movie and the effects of slavery toward
the main character Solomon Northup`s mental state during his 12 years enslavement.. There are five types
of slavery that occurred in the movie which are debt bondage, contract slavery, forced labor, human
trafficking, and sexual slavery. Solomon showed six kinds of psychological arousal throughout the entire
movie which are anger, disappointment, frustration, hate, sad, and happiness and all those emotions were
related to his 12 years of enslavement. Furthermore, cognitive label was used to classify those six
psychological arousals into three forms. Those three forms of cognitive label are crying, laughing, and
screaming. The psychological arousal happiness belonged to both crying and laughing cognitive label.
Psychological arousal anger and disappointment belong to cognitive label screaming. Psychological
