Youngsters and it's culture

Por: english project XD | |

The purpose of this report is to tell the readers about the opinion of the youngsters about Indonesia’s traditional culture. As we all know, Indonesia is a nation that consist of hundreds of culture, from Sabang (Aceh) to Merauke (Papua). Furthermore, Indonesia is well-known as the paradise of culture. So I interview some of my friend and ask their opinion about this nation’s traditional culture, due to the fact that the young generation is rather careless about their own culture.

I ask them to tell what kind of Indonesian culture do they know. Most of them said Pendet (famous Balinese dance), Reyog Ponorogo (a trance-dance from Ponorogo, East Java), wayang orang (traditional Javanese, Balinese, and Sundanese theatre), Gamelan (a Metallophone orchestra from the island of Java and Bali), Angklung (a bamboo orchestra from West Java) and a much more culture from around Indonesia. Then I ask them do they still care of their own culture, and all the answer said yes, with a different reason. So what do they do to preserve their culture? In this case, all the answer were different, but the point of it was the same; as a youngster, we shall care, love and learn more about our culture so we can protect it and they’ll never extinct

About the negative cultural issue and facts that happened in this global era, they said it was the responsibility of all people of the nation, especially the youngsters. Many modern people of Indonesia prefer the “west culture” because in their opinion, traditional culture is not up to date, lame, expired, and many more. But one thing that they don’t realize is, this nation won’t exist without the diverse of those cultures. So, as said above, we shall care, love and learn more about our culture so we can protect it and they’ll never extinct. Furthermore, culture is the primary identity  and also a life-guidance of a nation itself. Without its culture, Indonesia is just like a shirtless person. I hope, there's still some Indonesian who really care, no, not just care, but also love his/her traditional culture.
