Why do you proud to be indonesian

But now batik is used as a fashion for traveling so that we look attractive. I also really admire batik, because the way of making batik requires a long process and has its characteristics.

Batik patterns also have many kinds, such as clothes, scarves, bandanas, bags, and other accessories. I am also very proud because batik is loved by many people, not only in Indonesia but also abroad. It is quite often I meet people around me who use batik as their fashion, and that is enough to prove that batik is indeed very unique, and also multipurpose.

It is not surprising that foreigners. Therefore, to love Indonesian culture, we as Indonesians are required to be proud and have a sense of love for our own culture.

People abroad can love Indonesian culture, yes, we as Indonesians who actually cannot love their own culture. Come on, start with small things to be able to love Indonesian culture, such as using authentic Indonesian goods, learning more about Indonesian culture, and not insulting other cultures.

The Roma face a variety of challenges in different parts of the world. When the Roma moved to Western Europe, people took away their. With regard to this issue, this paper tries to present the notion of English as a Lingua Franca ELF and its implication to the teaching learning process especially in Indonesian context.

Introduction Nowadays, the roles of English around the world have changed rapidly. English only served as the first or the second language of certain countries some years ago. Recently, English. As the result there are many other Indonesian ethnic groups living in Yogyakarta, especially from eastern parts of Indonesia.

Yogyakarta attracts large numbers of foreign visitors. However, there are also significant numbers of foreign people residing in the city. Most of them are foreign students that usually stay to learn Indonesian or Javanese culture.

I think we need to maintain our social awareness albeit in a reasonable level as a nation. Although you can find a vast number of shrines and temples in Japan, surprisingly enough, I found that the people in Japan do not really mix their daily lives with their religious beliefs. They rely so hard on their persistence and hard work rather than surrendering their lives into some religious aspects. This is a contrast to the culture in Indonesia. Religions are very much integrated with the daily lives of Indonesian people, and sometimes it is really difficult to separate it.

Indonesian people still believe that many parts of their life are under the control of an invisible force, making their religiosity a big part of their lives. I am glad that Indonesian people still maintain their religious habits in their lives.

Although in some occasions it can seem to be overbearing, this tendency could actually bring a lot of benefits if everyone can maintain their religiosity in a reasonable level. Yep, birth rate. Happy Tragic Independence Day! We are not entirely there yet, and we must never give up on the effort to move forward. We must strive to apply the traditional wisdom of the various regions in united effort rather than allowing entrenched divisions to shatter our dreams as has occurred repeatedly in the past.

I believe this is possible if we learn from that past and deliberately and systematically set aside our differences and our vested interests for the sake and good of all Indonesians, while embracing the vision of a new fully egalitarian and truly independent Indonesia.

I would ask back: what entails being Indonesian? Being a freethinker, I don't think I fit the mold of average Indonesians. Let's say that having the green passport and having been born in Bandung define me as Indonesian. Still, it is a question with a complex answer. I don't like my green passport because it is so difficult to travel the world with it I love traveling. Seriously, just because of this, I am thinking of changing my passport. But I could also say that I am proud being an Indonesian, because the country had shaped me into who I am today.

Indonesia's shortcomings teach me about things that I shouldn't become, but they also show me huge potentials by overcoming those shortcomings.

Despite all the negative qualities, Indonesia has rich diverse cultural heritage, amazingly beautiful natural environment, and highly creative people with ingenuity. All those qualities define us as Indonesians. Because of that, I am proud to be an Indonesian and to be in a place where I can contribute directly to the betterment of the people and environment of this country, in small or big ways. But I still consider myself an Indonesian, holding on to my Indonesian passport, because I am proud of being Indonesian.

It's not only the diversity — languages, ethnicity and faiths — but also the tireless and passionate effort of its civil society to right the wrong and fight for a just cause.
