13. Indonesian Culture
Indonesian culture is extremely diverse. Indonesia is populated by
people of 250 different backgrounds speaking up to 700 different
languages and dialects. The Indonesians finally adopted one language
to be used throughout the country so that everyone could
communicate. Their lifestyles depend largely upon their group or
clan, as they prefer to conform. A great part of their culture is
their arts which include music, dance and plays performed with
puppets rather than human actors.
Indonesian culture has traditions quite different from those of the
west. Their way of life can be difficult at times but they have
become accustomed to it and it is a part of who they are. The
interesting part is that so many different people have come together
to make up this country. Indonesian art and lifestyle set them apart
from many other countries and make them unique. Their rich and
diverse culture is certainly something to be proud of.
Our culture is so rich and we are very proud of it. Many foreign
tourists admire us and some of them invest their money in our
country. But now we worry about our diversity because it commit
tribal dispute just like in Papua and Poso recently. We are so sad
to see these fightings. We proud with our country because it is
complete with everything but we are so sad about the condition of
our country like right now , fighting between different religion,
war in poso, and bad happening in papua about freeport problem and
now we just wanna indonesia can live with peacefully forever.
Indonesia is a big country that have rich culture. So it’s depend on
the government and the people how to manage the source. Indonesia
have many kind culture, but we must carefull about kind culture,
because it can also make broken harmonic. So with difference culture
we much another respect and friendly with the kind culture, with the
result that we can defend the Indonesian culture and we also
rightfully proud be citizen of indonesia. Our country has so many
culture which each culture different from the others and has its
unique identity. Our rich culture attract foreign people come to
Indonesia to study about our culture or some people just want to
know how is our culture. But, at this moment we feel afraid that our
culture will be extinct or ,worst, gone from Indonesia because many
of young generations of Indonesia don’t interest to study about
their culture. They prefer to study foreign culture than Indonesia
culture. If the government don’t beware with this situation, it’s
possible that our culture will be disappear from our country and
Indonesia won’t has its unique identity anymore. It’s also possible
in the future we will find our culture is recognize in other
countries, maybe country in Europe, America, or other continents
because their people have been studied about our culture. Are we as
Indonesian people like if it’s happen? Just ourselves can answer it.
Indonesia has so many kind of culture and that’s makes we proud our
country. Because Indonesia has so many culture that makes other
people from the other country want to study about our culture. Now
let’s we conserve our culture.
