Assalamualaikum Wr. Wb.

Your honorable to all of the judges

Your Excellency to all of the audience

Hello I’m muhammad faiz hasan

Ladies And Gentleman we all know

Indonesia is a beautiful country, it has so many natural and cultural

wealth. Culture itself is the customs, arts, and achievements of a particular
nation, people, or other social group. Actually, there are more than 100
cultures in Indonesia. Like traditional dance, traditional songs, Batak
Ethnic, Wayang, Batik etc. But unfortunately, young generation now a day
is living in a globalization era. They don’t have any interest with their own
culture. They believe that this world is border-less and we can access any
information, talk with anybody without a limitation. And because of this
globalization era too, the young generation now a day is having a mind set
about “International Scale” anything they do is all about western thing.
They behave like a western style, they like break dance, R&B, hip hop
song more than their own songs.

And young generation nowadays tend to use English or Korean and other
language more in social media because they thing that Indonesia
language is old-fashioned. And also, teenager nowadays is using internet
and social media such as YouTube, Twitter or Instagram to see about the
western or other foreign culture like break dance, street dance and etc.
They don’t want to learn traditional or sing traditional dance because they
think those are not trendy, right?

So, ladies and gentlemen I’m standing here to tell you all, how important
culture awareness is. Why do I say like that? Because if not us, the
teenagers, the young generation that take care our culture, then who else
will do it? Do we going to let our culture extinct? Of course, no. We don’t
want to let that thing happen, right?

Brother and sister.

First culture awareness is important for us because our culture shows

about characteristic of our country. For example, that people see about
Reog Ponorogo and batik dance they will recognize our country.

Culture awareness is important for business thing, right? International

businesses should always handle overseas dealings with cultural
sensitivity to avoid offence to foreign business colleagues, clients or
suppliers. Being culturally aware will also avoid the expense of
miscommunications and will allow your business to handle international
relations with respect and understanding, resulting in effective cross-
cultural management and successful business dealings.

So, Dear happy audience because of that important we have to save our
culture. Here I want to tell you all the way we can improve the culture
awareness for young generation.
First is proud to be Indonesian. We don’t have to be ashamed to be a part
of Indonesian. Instead of just learn about foreign skill we can to increase
our Indonesian language more and trend it. For example, if we make a
hashtag on twitter like #IndonesianLanguageDay or #MyLocalLanguage.
We can also attract other people to know about it and join it.

Second is to make the teenager nowadays love our dance and music. We
have to make them realize that our music and dance is also great and not
old-fashioned. And also, we can create something like mix our culture, mix
between Mayang Rontek dance and another dance and make it more fun.

And the last and the most important thing we have to educate and inform
them about Indonesian culture. Because their careless is due to the fact
that nobody inform them about our culture.

So, ladies and gentlemen don’t be the generation that will destroy our
culture. But let’s be the generation that save our culture. Because if not
us, the young generation, who do it, then who else?

So that’s all from me. Thank you very much.
