LOSS OF INDONESIAN CULTURE

LOSS OF INDONESIAN CULTURE


Indonesia is a country of thousands of islands stretching from Sabang to Merauke, Indonesia also has thousands of languages ​​and cultures, one of Indonesian culture is gotong royong, Culture gotong royong is a legacy of our ancestors and is one manifestation of the spirit of unity of the people of Indonesia. The meaning of gotong royong itself is working together to achieve something that is coveted together, There are so many positive values ​​that can be taken from the culture of mutual cooperation as a means of unity, a means of togetherness, help, socialization and cultivate a sense of willingness to sacrifice for the common good. For example cleaning the environment, cleaning sewers, making roads / infrastructure for the benefit of the crowd.

                Gotong royong is also a culture that many advantages for the community believe can ease the burden of work borne because the more involved in the job the sooner the work is completed. Growing voluntary attitude, help and togetherness among fellow society and can establish good social relations and harmonious between communities.

However, our ancestral culture is increasingly lost day and faded in the era of this time because of many factors that cause it such as lazy, lack of socialization, busyness, and also factors of parents who do not educate their children in socializing activities in the community so teenagers now rarely participate in this activity.


We recommend that the spirit like gotong royong must be raised again and again in the community so that it can be used as a means of unifying society and even the state, and also as a means of education for the current generation because a lot of wisdom that can be taken from the spirit of gotong royong.
