Indonesian culture shift because Globalization

The current wave of globalization has led to an influence on the development of the culture of Indonesia. Rapid flow of information by telecommunication actually causes a tendency that leads to the dissipation of means-value cultural preservation. Indonesian culture formerly amicable, mutual cooperation,'s manners changed with culture slang and funky.
Most of today's younger generation no longer has an interest in the arts area. Art is Indonesian assets. As the young shoots should preserve our cultural arts for future grandchildren. Though the culture of the area, if managed properly but can be cultural tourism generate income for both central and local government, may also be a promising area of work for the community around it.
The other thing is the effect of globalization is the use of Indonesian is good and right (language is also one of the nation's culture). It is not unusual in Indonesia to refer to the second person singular with Mr., Mrs., Mr., Mrs., sister, you compared to you or you as a value judgment or taste. Now there is a trend among young people who prefer to use Indonesian Jakarta dialect as my mention of the word gue (I) and lu (you).
Indonesian teen dress styles that were once upheld the norms of decency has changed with the times. There is a tendency for young women in big cities wear tight skimpy clothes and consuming a particular body part. This shared culture of scantily clad films and foreign magazines are transformed into Indonesian soap opera. Rapid flow of information, which is also characterized by the presence of the Internet, participating 'donate' to change the way we dress.

This means that in the globalization system itself holds the potential destruction. Countries that do not follow the rhythm of globalization put in the category of the State 'primitive' or 'out of date'. Therefore, each country vying for the transfer of science and technology from Western countries.
The Conclusion is the influence of globalization on the one hand turned out to cause a negative impact to the Indonesian culture. Norms contained in the Indonesian culture slowly began to fade. Incessant rush of technology with intrinsic values ​​imposed therein, has raised the issue of globalization.
For people who are trying to develop the traditional art become part of modern life, it will continue to modify the art forms of the past are still patterned to be something that can be consumed by modern society. Actually art is beautiful and expensive. Art is the wealth of Indonesia which is invaluable and has no access to foreign nations. Therefore, as the young generation, the heir to the nation's culture, art should preserve our culture for the future of our children and grandchildren.
