Indonesian "Black and White" Culture

on Monday, August 8, 2011
     Indonesia is a huge country with thousands of islands and million of people live there. Indonesia also has many different culture, the different culture was caused by the kingdoms in Indonesia, that's why Sundanese is has different culture with the Balinese. But all of this kingdom was fused into a 'dynasty' called Nusantara that came from the word Nusa means country and Antara that means between. Since then the Nusantara became Indonesia.


     But after centuries the culture began to fade, Indonesian teenagers forgot about their own culture and they accept too much westernization, Indonesian teenagers isn't listening to Indonesian folk music anymore, they prefer to listen to modern western song, and because of that the music instrument almost stolen by the other country as example the Angklung almost stolen by Malaysia. In the modern culture Indonesia has the worst democracy. The house of representatives didn't care about their people, the president isn't firm and undecisive. The political party also running their monkey business.

     But Indonesia also has the bright sight of culture, one of them called 'gotong royong' that's mean team work but in a form of large people, like one village or more. Indonesian people is also known because of their hospitality and their friendly attitude, and Indonesian people also upholding their religion. They respect the other religion specially for the teenager.

     Thats all from me and some of Indonesian culture, in both side, the good side and the bad side of Indonesian culture.
