I. INTRODUCTION

Humanization is very much needed in daily life. This is very important because our society impacts towards dehumanization. Dehumanization is human objectivation, aggressiveness, and spiritual alienation. The unconscious affects more human behavior than consciousness. We do not realize that dehumanization has undermined society. This can be seen from the formation of machine people, mass society and mass culture [1]. City communities are infected with individualization or privatization viruses. this behavior is what Loneliness refers to as David Riesman has revealed and described it. Those who are in the upper-middle class, urban people, are generally in groups, but they live alone [2]. This is a form of life that does not reflect essential social life.
Humanization in the West was born in its rebellion against the domination of the church which was considered too dogmatic in the Middle Ages. At that time the Western world was confined in a religious understanding that bound humans; God is positioned as a human. This view is rooted in the Ancient Greek myth of the gods is the power of humans. This development of modern science and technology does not make humans understand themselves, but rather distance themselves from humanity. To the extent, that man is immersed in the vast world and has made progress there, to the extent that he is alienated from himself and forgets his nature [3].
