jointly owned by a group of people and passed
from generation to generation. Culture is formed
from many elements, including customs, language,
dress, buildings, and art. Language, as well as
culture, is an inseparable part of the human
person to a lot of people tend to think of
inherited genetically.Language is a tool or a
human embodiment of a culture that is used to
communicate with each other in many ways. Which
are writing, orally, or movement (sign
language), with a clear sense of purpose or
intention to opponents hearts discretion or
others. Through language, humans can adapt to
the customs, behavior, manners of society.When
someone is trying to communicate with people of
different cultures then it will adjust, proving
that culture is learned.Not only the language,
there are still thousands incredible cultures in
Indonesia. There are many different special
features cultural in every region in Indonesia.
For example is the dance, Indonesian dance
reflects to the richness and diversity of the
nations and cultures of Indonesia. In Indonesia
there are more than 3000 Indonesian original
dances, for example Gending Sriwijaya dance from
South Sumatera province.
But recently, culture in Indonesia
began to fade. This is because the increasing
development of technology that has a negative
impact on the culture of Indonesia. With many
western cultures from electronic media to change
the mindset of the people of Indonesia. In
addition, the origin of the affected government
take care of cultural origin. Until other
countries easily recognize Indonesia as its own
culture. When this continues to take place then
the Indonesian culture will disappear.In fact
now, the identity of Indonesian culture has
begun to fade as global flow. Until this
alarming condition must be immediately saved. It
is increasingly fueled by cultural admits
indonesia by other nations. For example "Rasa
Sayang-Sayange" song which comes from Maluku,
and "Reog Ponorogo" from East Java that admitted
by Malaysia. Then, the big question is �where is
the role of society and government in this
regard?�
Culture is our collective national
culture that is very meaningful for us as the
indonesia�s identity. This actually will make us
feel aware to a sense of responsibility to
preserve the culture. As citizens we have to
respond wisely, do not let the influence of
western cultural values to develop and enrich
in our contry, we have to be able to filtrate
and choose the only good impacts that will be
taken . Do not be easily to take the bad values
that do not fit to our culture.The government
also should be firm in maintaining and
preserving cultural indonesia by making legal
rules designed to protect the nation's culture.
And if necessary, the government should be
patented cultures in Indonesia that cultures do
not fall into the hands of people of other
races. The government should develop human
resources with the good competitiveness in this
modern area that can be done by instilling
noble cultural norms and values of Indonesia
since childhood, by way of socialization of
cultural values inculcated to children from
preschool age. It is intended to retrieve the
identity of the Indonesian people.
