The Erosion of Culture in Indonesian society.

Assalamu’alaikum wr.wb

Good morning and best wishes for all of us.

First of all, let us pray praise and thanksgiving to Allah for giving us health and free time so that we can gather in this place.

To save time, I will directly deliver a speech about the erosion of culture in Indonesian society.

Ladies and Gentlemen

Since the past, culture has been ingrained in Indonesian society, the culture is varies greatly from one region to another region and it would be different. We as a next generation just inherits it and is expected to maintain and preserve the culture. But in this era, the cultural values in society has begun to fade even there are some who began to disappear.

One of the reason is the globalization that could shift cultural values that have been inherent in the people of Indonesia. Many young people today are not like the culture of their homeland, they prefer to imitate foreign culture that is contrary to the culture of Indonesia.

Ladies and Gentlemen

As the next generation we should love and protect the culture that has been inherited from the past, so exist cultural values can be inherited to our children and grandchildren. If younger generation does not know the values of the culture of the nation, it is easily the cultural values claimed by other countries,

We as a next generation also should strive as much as possible and keep the cultural values that have been formed. Since the formation of culture requires a very long time and is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand.

Ladies and Gentlemen

And today, as we are all aware, the regional culture began to fade replaced by Western culture which is exalted by the younger generation. Whereas the westerners more appreciate the local culture of Indonesia. Because they appreciate the originality of a culture.

In addition, the claims of neighboring countries on the culture of us also proved that the culture that we have is one of the outstanding culture in the world.

Therefore, let us together preserve our own culture and we should be proud of our culture that is very extraordinary.

Maybe that’s all and thanks for your kind attention.

And the last, Wassalamu’alaikum wr.wb.
