Javanese culture is closer to Know:

Javanese culture is closer to Know:

As someone who was born in the small town of Trenggalek, East Java, Indonesia, I included the original Java tribe. Terri, a city, but I like to call it a village, because of extensive small area with a relatively small population, had most of the population live from farming, but now has begun to shift the pattern of life, young children are expected to succeed his father a farmer no one wants, they prefer to migrate to big cities like Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang and other cities. The main reason they do not want to be a farmer because of being a farmer is hard, but if you persevere, the results from the farmer to harvest one-time cost of living could be for 1 year ahead. It is indeed a reason that is not acceptable reason, just because of fear with the term 'hard work'. But when we inquired more deeply, it turns out that young children do not want to work in the fields because of the shift in lifestyle / life style. If they automatically become a farmer can not follow the trend of young people today. Why? Weird is not it? Just because 'the interests of lifestyle' they must accept the reality of 'hard life'. Why do I say life difficult? Because working in factories as they are concerned that the salary was earned can not be enough for living expenses of 1 month only, but they enjoyed it even though his soul was crying because of restless every day thinking about money.

View of the above is only a review to draw a line backward look Javanese culture that has begun their leave. Javanese culture is a valuable asset began to slowly leave their land. Conscious or not they are that young children who are ungrateful to God and not also on their ancestors. Though Javanese culture that they have actually had a 'values of civilization that was incredible'. Here below I give some examples of Javanese culture (from village to Javanese culture Trenggalek, East Java, Indonesia) largely abandoned their

1.      respect and appreciate people who are older, mother father, brother, uncle, etc.. In order to live the Javanese culture, attitude, respect and appreciate older people is upheld. Examples like this: if there are elderly people who were sitting in a chair or on the floor, a young man who happened to be walking through them, it is considered polite when walking with a bow, or at least lowered his hand as he begged permission to pass by saying 'nyuwun-Sewu' or in English: excuse me ...

2.      if a young child will say the word with parents, he must arrange the position of sitting on the floor if the old man sitting in a chair.

3.      if young people will go out, go to work, go to school, he had to ask for blessings of parents with a parent handshakes, kissing the back of the hands of parents, and the sitting position should remain lower than their parents

4.      young people considered to have no manners when the tone of voice tone of voice than the parents, let alone snap

5.      the girls, all time should not be sitting in front of the door. Javanese culture to say 'marai kuwalat' means will lead to ugliness. Why is that? Because if the girl sitting in front of the door will be no adverse impact; first if there are people who want to pass the door to trouble; both can bring in the eyes of men who have looked at the house his girl sitting in the front door. Those people had no apparent reason, but said he was having a very broad meaning. Also some say about the girl who sat in the front door of this house premises saying 'adoh rejekine' means 'away from fortune' why not? Is there a relationship girl sitting in front of the door with a fortune? Once I asked my grandmother who still live in the age of 93 this year, it turns out the answer: the girl who sat in the front door could be considered as a traffic barrier fortune who want to get into the house. The truth is I do not know exactly, but it seems the culture of Java where I was not happy if there are girls sit at the door because it makes disgusted

6.      No more of this habit, if any girl who was cleaning the house, he had to do it clean, otherwise clean, Javanese culture, said: watch out if you do not clean, the future will 'bojomu brewok’ /sideboards, means: watch out if it is not clean, your husband will soon have a pot and dirty hair. If you try to analyze this Javanese cultural words, as there is a message they want delivered, that is if you work, do it to perfection. It is indeed a very valuable lesson.

7.      also, girls are prohibited from cleaning the house at night and throw feces at night, the Java people always say 'do not ilok' means: not worthy!, why not? This turned out to teach, if we work are expected to work on the light, because according to them if it works in a dark place, results achieved will not either.

8.      Further, if later I have time again, until tomorrow.
