[Week VII] Difference

As we all know that our world is rich of many races that come over the whole universe, gathered and made a unique culture that possessed by every nation in this world. We're now going to be more specific by dividing it between the culture in Indonesia and in western country and make an additional for going a little bit to Asia, especially China.

Here in Indonesia we have many culture. Those native people are usually still get stuck with their tradition. For example just a mundane evidence such as marriage. There is high percentages for people in Indonesia to make marriage as a crucial thing that makes people have to do marriage. In reverse, divorce also a taboo thing to do for people in Indonesia, so it has low percentages for people divorcing, despite involving celebrities which usually do such thing in purpose in order to make them more famous. Same thing also happen in same gender marriage which is still illegal in Indonesia considering the dominant religion point of view. Here also is a must for every mankind who live in Indonesia to have at least one religion.

The opposite things happen in Western country. They are very liberalism of what the society would do because they do appreciate the freedom of a mankind. It doesn't matter whether they have a clear relation ship an that is what makes Western Country has a very low percentages for people to get married and also cause the high percentages of divorced couple, still, despite the celebrity itself. It is also permitted to have a same gander marriage for gays and lesbians. And also it is up to you whether you want to have a relegion and even making your own faith.

Unfortunately, in spite of all the things above the evidence shown us that the western country are more develop than Indonesia because western country are open-minded for all the new thing that has been discovered, while Indonesia would put many consideration before really accepting those new things. If we go a little bit to Asia, China is able to be balance between independence and leadership which lead them to be more develop than any other country especially Indonesia. The are independent but in another way they have their faith to lead them too.
