Cultural diversity that exist in Indonesia is more likely to cause someone to be lazy to learn even know him. so do not be surprised if there are people who do not know about the culture of Indonesia. In fact, he has a strange and wonderful if you see the Kecak dance or listen to songs such as soleram. because he never know and did not ever want to know.

With the entry of foreign culture and development to Indonesia to make local cultures being eliminated. not infrequently a lot of regional culture that no longer can be said to be raised or even disappear. Cultures of this area begin to fade after the arrival of foreign cultures. As who now rarely we can see the puppet show directly. Or jaipong dance a truly original, because we often see is the jaipong dance already undergone many changes. 

Indonesian young generation also appeare to prefer a foreign culture. They aren’t loving her own culture, and some even consider it cheesy. Seeing that the younger generation is now more stylish lifestyle full of life hedonistikatau rah-rah. The young generation today more like limitless freedom than the freedom with limits norm.
