CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

A.Background
Since the proclamation of independence up to the present time have gained a lot of experience
our nation about the life of the nation. In the Republic of Indonesia, the reference guide for the life of
the nation it is the values and norms enshrined in Pancasila and the Constitution of 1945, as the source
and designed for the formation of a national culture.
The question arises: why our nation scorned by other nations? Why would a number of
Indonesian people who no without feeling awkward and uncomfortable easily say, "I am ashamed to be
an Indonesian" and instead of challenging the state and said, "I am ready to lift Indonesia from this
slump"? Why well as representatives of the people and the leaders instead recriminations that become
the derision of the crowd? Why did many people, including intellectuals, then consider Pancasila should
be "removed" as a basis for the State? The same intellectuals in the past is persistent trainers, even
"manggala" in the implementation of upgrading the P-4. Pancasila is the "common ground" for the
nation (not a "single principle"). In addition, more and more people are disappointed to, even reject, the
1945 changes (more than just amendments) so that its role as a guide and reference for national life can
be likened to become paralyzed.
The long journey of six decades of independence Indonesian State has given a lot of experience
to the citizens of the nation and state. Nation and character building as an ideal form of national culture
has not been guided by a strategy of real culture (though this is a consequence of the initiation of the
Declaration of Independence as "de hoogste politieke beslissing" and acceptance of Pancasila as the
State and the 1945 Constitution as the basis of the State)

CHAPTER II
THEORY FRAMEWORK

A. Definition of Culture
Culture is defined as the total knowledge of humans as social beings who used to understand
and interpret the environment and his experience, as well as the basis for his behavior. Thus, culture is a
set of rules, guidelines, plans, and strategies that comprise a set of cognitive models held by humans,
and used selectively in the face of the environment, as manifested in the behavior and actions -
tindakannya.
Culture can be defined as an overall knowledge of humans as social beings who are used to understand
and interpret the environment and experiences, as well as a guide for his behavior.
As knowledge, culture is a unit of idea in the head of a human and not a symptom (which consists of
behavior and human behavior results). As a unit of idea, culture consists of a set of values, norms which
contains prohibitions to perform an action in the face of a social environment, culture, and nature, and
contains an array of concepts and models of knowledge about the various actions and behavior that
should be realized by supporters in the face of a social environment, culture, and nature. So these values
are selective in their use according to the environment encountered by supporters
From various sides, cultures can dipdang as: (1) Knowledge is believed to be the truth by people who
have the culture; (2) Culture is the property of human society, not a region or a place that has a culture
but it is people who have a culture; (3) As the knowledge is believed to be the truth, the culture is deep
and thorough guidance fundamental to the lives of the people concerned; (4) As a guideline for life,
distinguished culture of behavior and results of behavior; due to the behavior manifested by reference
or reference to culture enjoyed by those concerned.
As knowledge, cultures containing the concepts, methods, recipes, and instructions to sort (categorize)
concepts and stringing results increments to be used as a guide in interpreting and understanding the
environment encountered and in realizing actions action in the face and use the environment and its
resources in fulfilling the needs for survival. Thus, the notion of culture as a guide for life is as guidance
in meeting the needs of life.





B. Elements of Culture
To better appreciate the culture needs to be known to some other issues concerning culture among
other cultural elements. Elements of Indonesian culture in a large dictionary means a part of a culture
that can be used as a specific analysis. Given these ingredients, the culture here is more meaning than
just the sum totality usur-elements contained in it. Cultural elements consist of:
1 System regili and religious upacaru a human product as homoriligius. human beings who have
intelligence, thought, and feeling of the sublime, the great responses to that other forces which can be
"blackened-putikan" life.
2 System is a product of human social organization homosocius.manusia partially aware that

livelihoods of his life.
3 System livelihood which is a product of human beings as human kehudupan homoeconomicus
manjadikan tinkat continue meningkat.contoh general farming, then breed, then seek kerjinan, and
trade.














C. Culture of the Indonesian Nation
In the past, national culture is described as the "cultural peaks in regions throughout Indonesia". But
then, the Indonesian national culture needs to be filled by the values and national norms for the
guidance of national life among all the people of Indonesia. This includes keeping the values of state
sovereignty and territorial integrity which implies love and pride to the country, as well as its
sustainability, the values of togetherness, mutual respect, mutual love and mutual help between fellow
citizens, to jointly safeguard the sovereignty and dignity of the nation.
The idea of a national culture of Indonesia concerning consciousness and identity as a nation has
designed when our nation is not yet independent. Nearly two decades after Oetomo Sampoerna, the
Indonesian Association has instilled an awareness of Indonesian identity politics is in the Manifesto
(1925), which is expressed in three nature, namely: (1) sovereignty, (2) independence and (3) the unity
of Indonesia. The idea is then immediately responded with great enthusiasm by the Youth Pledge in
1928.
In the early days of Indonesian independence, national identity is marked by physical form and general
policies for all Indonesian people (of which is respect for the Red-White Saka, national anthem Indonesia
Raya, National Language, TKR formation which later became the military, civil service, education system
national, the national legal system, the system of national economy, the system of government and
national bureaucratic systems). On the other hand, the national consciousness fostered by implanting
the idea of nationalism and patriotism. National consciousness then becomes the basis of conviction of
the need to maintain and develop national pride, the dignity of the nation as a struggle for civilization, in
an attempt to free the nation from subordination (dependence, submission, humiliation) against a
foreign nation or a foreign power.
Internally man and society have intuition and aspiration for progress. Internally, outside influences are
always encouraging people, who assessed the static once, to react to stimuli from the environment.
Large stimuli from the environment at this time comes from the mass media, through news and opinion
formation. The influence of internal and external in particular this is a strategic factor for the formation
of a national culture. Systems and communications media into a strategic tool that can be given a
strategic role also to foster national identity and national consciousness.






CHAPTER III
DISCUSSION

A. Factors Affecting Culture
Bebera cultural factors that affect the outline is: a) the orbit factors (environmental, geographical mileu)
physical environmental factors geographical location is a feature of the culture of a people; b) there are
two factors nation holding different views on the nation host factors, namely the views of western and
eastern views. The view west found differences in the parent nation of some community groups have
pengaru against a cultural pattern. Based on the general view of the western Cauca soit level considered
higher than in other nations, namely mingloid and negroid. While the view east of the opinion that the
role is not a factor ihnduk first born, and quite high at the time of the western nations are still "sleeping
in the dark. it is more obvious when the xx century, the Japanese nation can diikatakan lower than the
western nations and c) facto mutual contacts between nations. Relations between nations are more
easily due to the transportation facilities of the nation's more perfect menebabkan easily connect with
other bangs.
Implications of this relationship may or may not retain jkebudayaanya a nation dependent on foreign
culture which is much stronger then the original culture can survive stronger. Conversely, if the original
culture is weaker than the foreign culture culture gone aslidan occur sifatnuya artificial colonial culture.
B. As a Multicultural Nation The Nation Indonesian Cultural Challenges
We can not also deny the pluralistic nature of our nation so that should also allow for the development
of cultural, ethnic and religious cultures adopted by Indonesian citizen. In everyday life, culture, ethnic
and religious cultures, together with guidelines for the nation and state, behavior and activities of our
coloring. Berseiringan various cultures, complementary and complementary, not stand on their own,
even able to adjust to each other (flexible) in the arena of everyday life.
In this context also the hundreds of ethnic tribes found in Indonesia needs to be seen as an asset of the
country thanks to an understanding of the natural environment, traditions, and the potential for its
culture, all of which need to be harnessed for national development. On the other hand, every ethnicity
also have cultural barriers, respectively, which differ between ethnic groups with each other. So the task
is the state to understand, then to overcome cultural barriers each ethnic, and actively encourage and
opportunities for the emergence of new cultural potentials as a national power.
Many discourse on Indonesian nation refers to the pluralistic characteristics of our nation, as well as the
importance of an understanding of Indonesian society as a multicultural society. The point is to
emphasize the importance of providing opportunities for the development of a multicultural society,
each of which must be recognized right to develop themselves through their culture in their ancestral
homeland. It also means that the multicultural society must acquire a good opportunity to maintain and
develop their knowledge of local culture towards quality and better utilization.
The survival and development of local culture needs to be preserved and prevented from obstacles.
Local cultural elements that are beneficial to themselves even need to be developed further in order to
become part of the national culture, enriching elements of national culture. Nevertheless, as the
Indonesian professionals, our primary mission is to transform the multicultural reality as an asset and a
source of strength of the nation, making it a national synergies, strengthen motion convergence,
diversity.
Therefore, despite the potential multicultural society should be respected and the right to develop
themselves as supporters of their culture over their ancestral homeland, but at the same time, they also
must still be given the space and opportunity to be able to see him, and be seen by other people the
same -sama an Indonesian citizen, as part of the Indonesian nation, and the land is included as part of
the ancestral homeland of Indonesia. Thus, to establish itself, build their ancestral lands, means also to
build a nation without a homeland and feel it as a burden, but because the bonds of friendship and
working together.

C.Indonesian Culture Conditions In the Era of Globalization
Indonesia is a country that can be said as a country rich in culture, with the diversity that is quite varied,
can be used as an addition to the beauty of the repertoire of a country. However, in this era Could
Indonesia retains its cultural integrity. If repeated back the events, many Indonesian culture that has
been annexed by other countries. It can be proved clearly that the absence of a strong legal force of the
Indonesian people about their culture. So will cause it easy for other nations to take and admit it.
Not only that, the progress of information technology at the present time has quickly changed the
culture of Indonesia becomes increasingly degenerate. Giving rise to a variety of opinions that are not
clear, which will give birth to a confusion in the midst of the various changes that take place are so
complicated and create a headache for the people themselves.
And more alarmingly, many arts and languages of the archipelago which is considered as an expression
of the Indonesian people will be threatened with death. A number of cultural heritage left by the
ancestors themselves had lost. Though the cultural heritage has a high value in helping deterioration of
Indonesia on today.
It is ironic indeed if further explored. However, we do not just complain and watch it. As good citizens,
should be able to apply and gives an example to our children and grandchildren later, that culture that
has been passed down from generation to generation will remain and continue to be one of the prized
possessions of the Indonesian nation will never become extinct.



CHAPTER IV
CLOSING

A. Conclusions
Based on the explanation above discussion, the conclusion that can be presented in this paper are as
follows:
First, the people of Indonesia is a pluralistic reality, which must be seen as a national asset, not a risk or
burden. People are a national potentials should be empowered, enhanced productivity potential and
physical, mental and cultural.
Second, the homeland of Indonesia as a national asset that stretches from Sabang to Merauke, from
Rote Miangas to, is the abode of the spirit of diversity. Is our intellectual and political obligation to
transform the "diversity" becomes "ketunggalikaan" in identity and national consciousness.
Third, the required growth mindset is based on the principle of mutuality, cooperation and mutual
respect have synergistic (shared interest) and avoid unfair competition mindset that fosters exclusivism,
but on the contrary, need to jointly compete increase competitiveness in the aim of improving the
quality of social -kultural as a nation.
Fourth, build a national culture of Indonesia should lead to a cultural strategy to be able to answer the
question, "What will we make our nation?" Which of course the answer is "be strong and
entrepreneurial nation, became the nation of Indonesia with Indonesian national traits, berfalsafah
Pancasila, the free-active excited to become masters in their own country, and is able to play a critical
role in the global arena and in equity are also able to keep the peace of the world ".
Fifth, we are facing now is a crisis of culture. Without immediate enforcement efforts to "shape" strictly
national identity and national consciousness, then this nation will face kehancuran

B. Suggestion
Indonesian culture is a culture that is formed from a variety of ethnic cultures and religions so many
challenges that always undermines the integrity of the cultural diversity but the spirit is still existed in
the time of exposure. Our duty as a nation to keep maintain the culture of the nation toward lasting,
noble, prosperous and dignified.
