Good
morning ladies and gentlemen!
Over
the past two decades, our society has witnessed unprecedented changes in the
overwhelming trend of globalization.
From
many cultures that this awesome country; Indonesia has to be not seemed
anymore. You know, in the past about ten years ago, there were many children
played traditional games. Such as, hide and seek, Dakonan, Gobak Sodor, Segar
Manggar, Jitungan, etc but nowdays we cannot look such those games anymore.
They are difficult to find now. In spite of still exist, some of them are
played by children who live in the village. It is the opposite of the past, all
around in Indonesia, children are familiar
and good in playing those games.
You
know, technology has lost such these traditional things. Nowdays, children
prefer to play video games, getting games online and too much enjoy in some
social networks . It proves that there are many games using technology that
usually used by children even without knowing the time. In addition, we can
also find many games using tehnology in many department stores.
So,
ladies and gentlemen, is it about a timid thing? Are traditional things not
cool anymore? Or will we always be a follower country?
Not
really. Consider that we must be able to handle this current situation wisely.
The
introduction of Western ideology is having an increasing impact on the
traditional Indonesia values. From my point of view, globalization is both a
challenge and an opportunity.
Many
traditional virtues are being challenged. As I emphesized in the beginning of
my speech. Children are more discovered to prefer many games using technology
and youngsters are fond of devoting time and energy to Valentine’s day, from
the family centered cultures to the more independent living styles. They are
not really Indonesian virtues, are they?
From
instance, we are different family ties, different attitude toward love and
marriage, and different educational conceptions between Indonesia and other
countries.
Ladies
and gentlemen,
Now,
we are living in a so-called “globalized era” and along with this era, we are
faced by the significantly progression of technology. Talking about technology,
nowdays, people especially the young are becoming more inclined to use credit
cards to make up for the difficulty of cash settlement. While we are enjoying
the time shopping anywhere around with this magic invention in hand. It should
be noted that using credit cards is a habit that comes along with
globalization. It offers great opportunities to improve the Indonesian way of
payment. That is why the positive effects of globalization cannot be neglected
until now.
Finally,
ladies and gentlemen.
May
I remind you some of the main points, I have emphesized that globalization is
not only a challenge but also an opportunity. It is an opportunity to make
improvements on our parts. It is an opportunity to play along with progressed
countries and it is an opportunity to present the whole world the merits of our
cultures. So, all about traditional things in this beautiful country will be
exist from time to time.
Well,
ladies and gentlemen.
That
is all I have to say about globalization. I apologize to you if I have many
mistakes. Thank you for the nice attention.
Wassalamu’alaikum
