Your honorable to all of the judges

Your Excellency to all of the audience

Hello I’m Erent brisky from east kalimantan .

Ladies And Gentleman we all know

Indonesia is a beautiful country, it has so many natural and cultural wealth. Culture itself is the
customs, arts, and achievements of a particular nation, people, or other social group. Actually, there
are more than 100 cultures in Indonesia. Like traditional dance, traditional songs, Batak Ethnic,
Wayang, Batik etc. But unfortunately, young generation now a day is living in a globalization era.
They don’t have any interest with their own culture. They believe that this world is border-less and
we can access any information, talk with anybody without a limitation. And because of this
globalization era too, the young generation now a day is having a mind set about “International
Scale” anything they do is all about western thing. They behave like a western style, they like break
dance, R&B, hip hop song more than their own songs.

And young generation nowadays tend to use English or Korean and other language more in social
media because they thing that Indonesia language is old-fashioned. And also, teenager nowadays is
using internet and social media such as YouTube, Twitter or Instagram to see about the western or
other foreign culture like break dance, street dance and etc. They don’t want to learn traditional or
sing traditional dance because they think those are not trendy, right?

So, ladies and gentlemen I’m standing here to tell you all, how important culture awareness is.  Why
do I say like that? Because if not us, the teenagers, the young generation that take care our culture,
then who else will do it? Do we going to let our culture extinct? Of course, no. We don’t want to let
that thing happen, right?

First culture awareness is important for us because our culture shows about characteristic of our
country. For example, that people see about Reog Ponorogo and batik dance they will recognize our
country.

Culture awareness is important for business thing, right? International businesses should always
handle overseas dealings with cultural sensitivity to avoid offence to foreign business colleagues,
clients or suppliers. Being culturally aware will also avoid the expense of miscommunications and
will allow your business to handle international relations with respect and understanding, resulting
in effective cross-cultural management and successful business dealings.

So, Dear happy audience because of that important we have to save our culture. Here I want to tell
you all the way we can improve the culture awareness for young generation.

First is proud to be Indonesian. We don’t have to be ashamed to be a part of Indonesian. Instead of

just learn about foreign skill we can to increase our Indonesian language more and trend it. For
example, if we make a hashtag on twitter like #IndonesianLanguageDay or #MyLocalLanguage. We
can also attract other people to know about it and join it.

Second is to make the teenager nowadays love our dance and music. We have to make them realize
that our music and dance is also great and not old-fashioned. And also, we can create something like
mix our culture, mix between Mayang Rontek dance and another dance and make it more fun.

And the last and the most important thing we have to educate and inform them about Indonesian
culture. Because their careless is due to the fact that nobody inform them about our culture.

So, ladies and gentlemen don’t be the generation that will destroy our culture. But let’s be the
generation that save our culture. Because if not us, the young generation, who do it, then who else?

So that’s all from me. Thank you very much
