Do Not Rape Our National Heritages!

Today we can hear so many news on television about our national heritage which are stolen by other country.  We can search on google with the keyword “mencuri kebudayaan” and there are more than a million result in less than a second. It proved that there were bunch of people find the information about it. What kind of national heritage which is stolen by that country? Why are they steal our national heritages? And how to solve this case?

Our national heritages is not only tangible heritages like Candi Borobudur or Taman Nasional Komodo, but we also have so many Intangible cultural heritages which is manifested through these points below:

1. Oral traditions and expressions (including Language).
e.g., Bahasa Jawa, Bahasa Sunda, Bahasa Melayu, Bahasa Madura, Bahasa Padang, etcetera.

2. Performing arts (such as traditional music, dance and theatre)
e.g., Gamelan (from Center Java, East Java and Bali), Tari Pendet (from Bali), Lenong (from Jakarta, Indonesia), etcetera.

3. Social practices, rituals and festive events
e.g., Ngaben, Siraman, etcetera.

4. Knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe
e.g., Memproduksi, mendistribusi dan mengkonsumsi Jamu (traditional herbal medicine), etcetera.

5. Knowledge and skills to produce traditional crafts
e.g., Menganyam, Menenun, Membatik, etcetera.

Based on the information that i get, there are so many Indonesian intangible heritages were stolen by another country. Reog Ponorogo (traditional theater from East Java), Angklung (traditional music instrument from West Java), Pendet (traditional dance from Bali), Kuda Lumping (Traditional dance from Java), Keris (traditional weapon from Java), Rasa Sayange (folk song from Maluku) are just a few examples of our tangible heritages that are stolen by another country.

I myself do not know the reason why they steal our national heritages. Some of my friends said that it is because of that country is just envy with our country which is rich in culture. I just do not care about the reason why they rape our cultural heritages arbitrarily. For me, it is just our fault. Why are we not protect our culture? Why are we not promote our culture to the world? Why are we not registered all of our heritages to UNESCO?

To solve this serious case, we should do this steps:

1. We must know our country, our history, our culture, and our national heritages. 
2. We must love it. If we do not love it, we will never have a passion to protect it.
3. Protect it and preserve it!
4. Promote it!
5. Patent it!
6. Be proud of it.

And for other countries, please do not rape our national heritages.

A respectable country is a country that respect other countries in every aspect.

  20. Actually Indonesia has a lot of culture, but the act of government are too slow to register our culture in UNESCO. Because of that, another country try to steal our culture.

Review: Critical Eleven (Film)

PS: Postingan ini bukan hanya berisi review film, tapi juga sedikit cerita pengalaman nekat menonton film naik motor sendiri Taktakan-Serang-Cilegon panas-panasan saat puasa. Alhamdulillah, rasa penasaranku terobati. I’ve finally watched Critical Eleven! Ya, rasanya memang selalu kurang afdol jika kamu sudah membaca sebuah karya yang menurutmu menarik, tapi kamu tidak menyaksikan karya tersebut dalam bentuk film. Ketika film dari buku yang kamu sukai muncul, setidaknya ada perasaan penasaran dan dorongan untuk membandingkannya dengan buku yang sudah kamu baca, kan? Setidaknya itulah yang terjadi padaku. Sabtu, 10 Juni 2017, tepatnya sebulan setelah film Critical Eleven mulai tayang di bioskop, aku melihat postingan instagram Ika Natassa yang merupakan penulis novel Critical Eleven, katanya film yang diangkat dari novelnya itu masih tayang di beberapa bioskop, salah satunya di Cilegon. Tanpa babibu aku langsung mengecek jadwal film di Cinema XXI Cilegon dan mendapati bahwa ku

Gila Followers?

Pernah baca "FOLLBACK GUE DONG..." di timeline twitter kalian atau di mention tab kalian? atau   "eh, follow blog gue ya!" yang disisipkan di antara komentar postingan blog kalian? atau  "woy, gue baru bikin tumblr nih. follow back ya!"  lewat chat facebook kalian atau di timeline twitter? Nah, kali ini gue cuma mau sharing aja ya tentang pengalaman gue tentang si gila followers . Jujur, jaman gue masih SMP (baru kenal twitter) kerjaan gue selain ngetwit ya minta difollow back sama artis-artis mancanegara. Tapi lambat laun gue tahu bahwa minta follow back orang yang belum dikenal itu sangat mengganggu dan gak sopan. Nah, sejak itu gue gak pernah minta follow back lagi kecuali kepada temen-temen deket gue yang baru bikin twitter. Beberapa bulan yang lalu... eh udah setahun sih, gue mendapati temen gue minta di-follow-back tumblr-nya karena dia baru membuat tumblr . Dia memberitahukan gue lewat chat facebook . Nah, karena gue gak enak hati sam
