Indonesian People Should Value All the Different Culture to Promote Unity of the Nation

Indonesia is a culturally-diverse country. Many different religions and cultures from many provinces are now seen living side by side in many places. One of the biggest questions facing Indonesian today is how to deal with a culturally diverse citizenry and then promote unity.

Therefore, Indonesians should appreciate differences among culture for the following reasons. irstly, Indonesia is vulnerable to separation for its archipelago and culture diversity. !aising tolerance among people is the best way to maintain the unity among differences. Many ways or cultures of living are equally legal, even if they are not regarded as normal by some people. If a society claims to be tolerant of personal choice, then it must respect the personal choice to retain their heritage. Then, unity of the nation can be preserved. "econdly, Indonesians must recognize that every culture has different customs and beliefs. Thus, people are forbidden to ma#e $udgments of comparative value, for it is measuring something unmeasured. % plurality of nations, especially in the modern era, can allow for cultural development and cultural e&change that

benefits both parties. The cross-cultural understanding among cultures ma#es the world a better place and preserves the unity of the nation. 'astly, raising nationalism is one way to preserve unity of the nation. It is a sense of fellow feeling between group members. This promotes cooperation and social cohesion within the group. The sense of social cooperation ma#es welfare, social security and medical programs much more li#ely and stronger. (ultural differences are sometime a sensitive matter for people. Indonesian people must teach younger generation about the importance of the cultural identity and nationalism to promote unity of the nation.

First, ads are nuisance. !hey go for long tme and there are too many of them. "ometimes there seems to be more ads than programs. "econd, ads are bad influence on people. !hey try to encourage people to buy unhealthy products like beer, soft drink, candy adn chips.And they make people buy things they do not really need and can not afford Finally, the people who make ads too much to say in the programs people watch. !hant is because they want to put all their ads on popular programs that a lot of people watch. "ome programs which are not so popular get stopped because they do not attract enough ads, e en though those programs may be someone@s fa ourites. For those reasons, we think !8 station should stop showing ads. !hey interrupt programs. !hey gi e bad influence to people and they arbitrarily stop people@s fa ourite shows. 'e are sick of ads, and now we mostly watch other channels
