Let’s Wearing Batik!
Assalamualaikum Wr Wb
Best wishes for all of us
All of my friend that i love,
Let us praise and Thank to Almighty Allah SWT, who has bestowed grace and guidance to all of us, so, we can gather in this room in healthy. I have to thanks for this opportunity given to me to deliver a speech about our Indonesia Cultur.
Speaking about culture, Indonesia is one of country in the world with the biggest variety cultures that spread from Sabang to Marauke. There are hundreds or even thousands of cultures in Indonesia. Then, from these tribes, formed a culture different from one another. Indonesian culture is very rich yet, but how many Indonesian culture that we are can mention from many culture in Indonesia? Perhaps the answer we can only be counted by fingers. Ironic indeed, but here's the reality. We are as the successor generation of our nation, though not care about our own culture. We should preserve it. But why we actually don’tcare and ignore it? This might occur due to the impact of globalization foreign cultures coming into this country. Not to mention the increasingly sophisticated technology people easy to access. In this age, is hard pressed to find a teenager who consciously preserve a minimum of one course of Indonesian culture. Young people actually teenager today more prefer western cultures that are considered more cool and up to date than Indonesian culture. This is very worrying at all because Indonesian culture could be at risk because the interest of young people as the successor to conserve the nation is lacking in culture. One example alone, Indonesian batik which was recognized by neighboring countries as their culture. This is where the real slog for us all, to care about own culture.
Ladies and gentlemen
However, it seems the case Claiming our culture by another country, make our nation then provide protection and big steps to make clear to the world that batik is an indigenous Indonesian culture. It is seen through the implementation of the National Batik Days every 2nd October, whose aim is to encourage everyone to use batik. Surely this is one step that is quite nice as one of the measures to cultivate and preserve batik and it seems such a step is quite successful. This can be seen from many Indonesia young people who then spend their creativity so that batik can now be grown. Although there are still young people who doesn’t like to wear batik while UNESCO has endorsed that batik is a cultural heritage of Indonesia on 2nd October 2009
For myself wearing batik is an honor. Because batik motif has thousands of magnificent and every motif that has a philosophy about the origin of the batik area. Batik as well as one of the nation's identity. Anyway batik was awesome. So I told all Indonesian youth to help preserve the culture that exists in Indonesia, like a customs, traditional clothing, traditional dance and local languages and others. Not be to preserve it as a whole but at least we know that culture and maintain the culture that cases like that happened before didn’t happen again. One easy thing is to wear batik for everyday activities at least 1 time in a week. So in this way we have participated to help preserve our INDONESIA culture. Because if not us, who else? Don’t admit our culture in other countries then we get angry.
LOVE INDONESIA CULTURE !!
That’s all my speech that can I tell to you all. Thanks for your best attention, and I’m sorry if I have a mistakes words or in delivered to you so. I’m apologize for that.
