INDONESIAN CULTURAL EXISTENCE ALMOST DISAPPEARS
IN ITS OWN HOME
Indonesia is a country that has various cultures. This culture
diversity occurs because Indonesia country consists of hundreds of
islands where each island has its own culture. However, currently
Indonesian culture is in danger of being lost because eroded by the
times. There are so many factor that make Indonesia’s culture is in
danger. Those factors are from inside and outside. Through this
paper, the authors will describe those factors that cause the
endangerment of native Indonesian culture. Here are two
paragraphs that discussing those factors:
The first is factor from inside. The decreasing of Indonesia’s culture
existence in its own home is caused by its own people that ignore
their culture especially for teenagers. They are lulled by modern life
and started to forget the values which is inherited by their
ancestors. For example, local languages, cultural ceremony,
customs and Indonesian traditions have been lost in society. Now,
we could see no one wants to use local language because they are
embarrassed called plebeian. Besides the teenagers who do not
care anymore with the culture, government also less responsive in
dealing with this problem. There is no real attempt from government
to sustain Indonesians culture.
The second is external factors. The Rapid flow of information which
comes to Indonesia also effects the erosion of Indonesian culture.
Many foreign cultures, especially Western cultures have come and
grew in Indonesia. Those western cultures are incompatible with
the Indonesians values as eastern nations. It also gives bad effect
in Indonesian’s norm as eastern nation. Nowadays, we can see the
fashions of clothing that does not conform to the norms, habits
drunk, and poor lifestyle has grown in Indonesia.
In short, the reduction of Indonesian culture existence in his own
country as a result of several factors. They are inside and outside
factors. For maintaining the continuity of Indonesia’s Culture, let us
keep our own culture. Especially we as young people do not feel
embarrassed to preserve our culture and also stem western
cultures which come into our country. If we have lost our original
culture means we have lost our own national identity.
 Why Findland’s Schools Are So Successfull
For many years the school system in Finland has been very
successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and
science knowledge of 15 year olds around the world, Finland is not
only the top European country but also competes with Asian
giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes
the educational system in this small country so strikingly different
from others in the western world.
First of all, the Finish government makes it possible for all children
to attend preschool, which comes after kindergarten. Compulsory
education begins at 7. Teachers work with their pupils in school as
much as possible. They have little homework to do when they get
home. When teachers are not with the pupils they spend a lot of
time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. They
teach in teams if it helps them reach their goals. That is why
dropout rates are low compared to other countries.

In contrast to other nations teaching in Finland is a highly admired

profession. Finland selects its teachers very carefully. Only
talented students go on to a university and receive a master’s
degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its
youth.

Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards.

More than in any other country teachers are ready to prepare
children for life. In some cases they know every pupil in their
school and can adjust to them. Teachers try everything to succeed
with their pupils. Most of the pupils get additional help in their
elementary school years, either by the teachers themselves or
through specially trained educators.
South Korea Switches to Digital Textbooks in the Classroom

South Korea is planning change from paper to digital textbooks in

the next few years. All content of South Korea’s school subjects
will be available on PC’s, iPads and mobile phones by 2015. The
education department has announced that South Korea is
preparing for a new digital revolution that will change schools of
the future.

The project was started last summer. Classrooms throughout the

Asian country will be equipped with wireless LANs so that students
can access learning materials whenever and wherever they want.
Pupils won’t have to carry heavy schoolbags and satchels any
more.

South Korea is a model nation when it comes to using modern

technology. The OECD found out that youngsters in South Korea
lead the world when it comes to getting information from the
internet and working with computers. The country focuses on
teaching children the basics of technology at a very early age.

Compared to South Korea, western nations lag behind. American

president Barack Obama has announced that United States is
installing a national learning centre which is to improve teaching
standards and develop new teaching methods.
 shanghai is Number One in World Education
Rankings

A global educational study called PISA (Program for

International Assessment ) tests over 500,000 pupils in
over 70 countries every three years. The 2010 results
showed that pupils in Shanghai are the world’s best in
reading mathematics and science . PISA studies 15 year
olds and their abilities in the three fields. The study did
not rank China as a whole but Shanghai, Hong Kong and
Macao as separate countries.

South Korea, Singapore Taiwan and Japan were other

Asian nations that ranked well. In many western
countries the reading score was down. In Europe,
Finland still stays in the number one spot although it
is ranking third overall. Americans are, at
best, average , ranking 17th in reading, 23rd in
science and 31st in mathematics.

Why have Asian countries overtaken Europe and America

in the tests? First, they put more focus on
education. Children, parents and teachers know that a
good education is the key to being successful. They are
not tolerant when pupils fail . Asians believe that if you
do hard and succeed in school you will be successful in
your job as well.

Starting at a very early age China teaches its children that

you can only succeed if you are better than the others.
They are tested as soon as they come to school. Only the
best can go to college and then get a good job.
Examinations are held very often and lists of students
rankings are posted on the walls of a school. Shanghai
students study much harder than western pupils do and
they spend less time on extracurricular activities or
sport. Teachers are also respected , paid well and highly
motivated .
 Virtual Worlds are Useful for Children

A research report says that virtual worlds can be important

places where children practice what they will do in real life.
They are also a powerful and attractive alternative to more
passive adventures like watching TV. The research was
done with children using the BBC’s Adventure Rock virtual
world, aimed at those aged 6-12. It surveyed and
interviewed children who were the first to test the game.

The online world is a theme island built for the BBC’s

children channel by Belgian game maker Larian. Children
explore the world alone but they use message boards to
share what they find and what they do in the different
creative studios they find around the virtual space.

At times children were explorers and at others they were

social climbers eager to connect with other players. Some
were power users looking for more information about how
the virtual space really worked. The children could try all
kinds of things without having to be afraid of the
consequences that would follow if they tried them in the
real world. They learned many useful social skills and
played around with their identity in ways that would be
much more difficult in real life. According to the study what
children liked about virtual worlds was the chance to
create content such as music, cartoons and videos.

The publishers of the report say that virtual worlds can be

a powerful, engaging and real interactive alternative to
more passive media. They urged creators of virtual spaces
for children to get young people involved very early on
because they really do have good ideas to add and they
are very good critical friends.
 Why do Students Drop Out of School?

Some American high schools have a dropout rate of up to

50%. There are many reasons for students leaving school,
which are for two thirds of the dropouts motivation is the
problem. They can’t just work hard enough, almost half of
them said that they had missed so many classes that they
could not catch up any more, many said that they were not
prepared well enough in their earlier school and for a third
of them getting a job was more important than finishing
school.

High school dropouts have more problems in society and in

their future lives. They are more likely to be unemployed
or live in poverty. There is also a big difference in income if
you compare high school dropouts with graduates.
According to data by the US Census bureau Americans
with a bachelor’s degree earn about $ 50,000 , those with
a high school diploma about $28,000 and dropouts only
about $ 20,000.

Many pupils do not understand the implications of dropping

out of school. They often demand better teachers, more
lessons to catch up in subjects and more help with learning
problems. Some schools have adopted to this situation.
They offer evening classes or allow students to come back
at a later age.

 Turkey allows schools to teach Kurdish

Turkey’s government is letting some schools teach Kurdish. Only

two decades ago speaking Kurdish in public was a crime, but now
the government is easing its restriction on the language of the
Kurds. The Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan has stated that this is
a historic step for Turkey’s largest minority group. The Kurds form
about 20% of the country’s population, mainly in the southeastern
part of the country. But many have gone to Istanbul and other
cities in search of jobs and a better life.

Kurds have been fighting for more rights and a certain amount of
autonomy in Turkey. In the last decades thousands of people have
been killed in fighting between the Turkish government and the
Kurdish rebel group PKK.

For a long time Turkey has banned Kurdish because government

officials are afraid that it would separate the country and make
the PKK too strong. In the latest statement Erdogan said that if a
school has enough students who want to take Kurdish as an
elective subject a school is allowed to offer lessons. The Turkish
government has found out that it cannot solve the Kurdish
problem through violence alone. Kurdish language and culture is
spreading increasingly in Turkey, Iraq and Syria.

For Kurdish activists the action does not go far enough. They
demand the right to educate students in Kurdish in all subjects.
The European Union has repeatedly put pressure on Turkey to
pass better laws for Kurdish citizens. It says that if Turkey wants
to become a full member of the EU minority rights must be
granted.

 Biography Baden Powell

Baden-Powell was born as Robert Stephenson Smyth Powell at 6 Stanhope

Street (now 11 Stanhope Terrace), Paddington in London, on 22 February
1857. He was called Stephe (pronounced "Stevie") by his family. He was
named after his godfather, Robert Stephenson, the railway and civil
engineer, and his third name was his mother's maiden name.
Baden-Powell was the son of The Reverend Baden Powell, Savilian
Professor of Geometry at Oxford University and Church of England priest
and his third wife, Henrietta Grace Smyth (3 September 1824 – 13 October
1914), eldest daughter of Admiral William Henry Smyth. After Powell died in
1860, to identify her children with her late husband's fame, and to set her
own children apart from their half-siblings and cousins, his mother styled the
family name Baden-Powell. The name was eventually legally changed by
Royal Licence on 30 April 1902.
Baden-Powell had four older half-siblings from the second of his father's two
previous marriages, and six full siblings Warington (1847–
1921), George (1847–1898), the often-ill Augustus ("Gus") (1849–
1863), Francis("Frank") (1850–1933), Agnes (1858–1945)
and Baden (1860–1937), as well as three others (Henrietta Smyth, 28 Oct
1851- 9 Mar 1854; John Penrose Smyth, 21 Dec 1852 - 14 Dec 1855; and
Jessie Smyth 25 Nov 1855 - 24 July 1856), who had all died very young
before he was born.
Baden-Powell's father died when he was three. Subsequently, Baden-
Powell was raised by his mother, a strong woman who was determined that
her children would succeed. In 1933 he said of her "The whole secret of my
getting on, lay with my mother."
