Humans and their culture

As social beings who gathered and settled course of human conduct toward his neighbor interactions. And besides interacting with others of course, man also entered the interaction of natural environments where he lived. In the interaction was performed continuously it can even lead to something / habits of society in recurrent and habitual or lowered to the next community, this is often known as Culture.

If we observe the entire group of human beings on this earth, surely we can get various shades of different culture. Even when narrowed to just watch our country Indonesia, of course, we can see lots of differences in culture in every area from Sabang to Merauke (west to east region of Indonesia).

If we examine this cultural difference of course is very fair, because the differences are owned by natural factors, the man himself and many other factors that cause these different cultural patterns.

In the development of a culture is not static (fixed) but rather is dynamic. This is caused by various human groups that have specific needs interact with each group with other groups, of course, through human interaction that cultural change and influence by other cultures.

His example we can note the Indonesian culture in the 19th century with a look at the Indonesian culture in the 20th century (now) certainly can see the difference. Even a change of culture which is owned by a very dynamic, especially in developed urban areas such as Jakarta, whose culture was heavily influenced by western culture.

But the irony occurred in Indonesian society where the cultural changes that occurred in this country is too large, even impressed too absorbing foreign culture, ignoring the existing culture.It can be seen from the way we communicate, how to dress, and a very different mindset.

Obviously this is a bit troubling because many foreign cultures are absorbed without consideration first. In fact, many experts argue that culture can be absorbed with a palpable negative impact on the surrounding environment. Therefore, at this time, we must multiply the efforts to preserve our culture, because culture of Indonesia is very precious and must be preserved.
