Racism In Indonesia
Racism is the belief that inherent different traits in human
racial groups justify discrimination. In the modern English language,
the term "racism" is used predominantly as a pejorative ephitet. Racism is popularly associated with various activities that are illegal or commonly considered harmful, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism).
As a result, racial violence has become a common phenomenon in Indonesia. Unlike the United States or South Africa, where racism is based on skin colour, racism in Indonesia manifests itself through discrimination based on ethnicity and religion. This has given rise to human rights violations in the social, economic, political, legal and cultural spheres of society. In 1998 women of Chinese descend were targeted for rape, the rest of the ethnic Chinese community for assault, looting, and murder. Such atrocities occurred in major cities such as Medan, Makassar, Jakarta and Solo. Racial riots occurred also between the Dayaks, Malays and Madura in Kalimantan in 1997. More recently in Maluku, mass-killings occurred between civilians belonging to two different religious groups. On a smaller scale, anti-Christian violence also occurred in Mataram and anti-Chinese riots in Pekalongan.
The May 1998 Riots of Indonesia were incidents of mass violence that occurred throughout Indonesia, mainly in Medan (4–8 May), Jakarta (12–15 May), and Solo, and eventually led to the resignation of President Suharto and the fall of the new order government. (13–15 May). The riots were triggered by economic problems including food shortages and mass unemployment.

Global Youth Culture
globalization is the formations of spaces in which economies, technologies, policies, things and bodies from different places intermingle. “Global youth culture” is the transdisciplinary category by which theorists and policy analysts attempt to understand the emergence of the complex forms of hybrid culture and identity that increasingly occur amongst youth throughout the world due to the proliferation of media like film, television, popular music, the Internet and other information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their everyday lives. another statement said that Global youth claim space through pleasure, somewhat in the fashion
This potential for global media to enlist youth as agents for the cultural logic of advanced capitalist states has led some theorists to criticize global youth culture as dangerously ethnocentric and imperialist. now, many technologies that make our life become more easier and we can save our time and our energy, but sometimes youth generation use it over and make them become more individualist because they can everything easily without having no interaction with another peaple (e.g : internet, smartphone,etc). While television and radio remain the most powerful and pervasive media in the lives of most global youth, the Internet is often supplanting them as a primary influence and will continue to do so under institutional frameworks that push for the further development of a “wired” world that is both global village and global mall.
now, global youth culture according to my oppinion exspecially in Indonesia global youth culture influenced from the western and korean lifestlye...

open dialouge with native speaker
on february 1st 2012 we have an open dialouge class with native speaker from Canberra (Australi).....her name is Kirrilly..=)
she shared many things about Australi, and also her experience in Indonesia...
in Australi many people study Indonesian, Spanish, and Japanese. she has been studying Indonesian since on Her Junior High School. the reason why many Australian study Indonesian because Indonesia is the closest neighbort than another country. The most interesting place in Australi is Quensland because there is many Gold coast.
in Australi there are no traditional music, traditional dance or traditional food (because Australi is a modern country), but there is Aborigin people that have traditional culture, and sometimes Australi borrow from them...
the stereotype about Australian are :
she Share about her culture shock when she come to Indonesia. the first is when every morning she heard the Azan voice in mosque (Azan subuh), she can't sleep if she heard the voice and feel distrubing. second, when she visited Bali she saw that the beach is dirty. and the third is when she visited traditionalmarket (Blotongan market, Salatiga) she feel amazed that all the things sold in one place (fruit, meat, vegetable, etc), because in Australi the seller not put meet in the market. but she also feel hapy to go to the market, because she not need to bargain with the seller, because she think that the price is already cheep (cheaper then in Australi). her favourite food is rendang. she thought that indonesia is a beautifull country with very nice people.
foreigners love Indonesia...so we as Indonesian should be REALLY proud to be Indonesian...right???

Deragatory words
These 'derogatory' words are used when you want to criticise someone for being too much of the good adjective.
I wanna share about deragatory word about punkers (anak punk).....
In generally when we see "punker" we usually give a bad impression about them....because from the performances they not really nice to looked.....their clothes...their hair...and many things other seems ugly...=)
most of their activities just like to sit arround doing nothing (
nongkrong)...beg while singing playing musical instruments (ngamen)...and some of them do crimes to get money from the other.....=)
it's just general impression about "punker"..but not all all that impression is right....
people free to choose their own style.........and don't judge book from the cover...so don't judge people from the physical performence...
so..let's your turn share your oppinion...=)

second posting "stereotype"
Hard
worker is the stereotype of Japanese People
Stereotype arise as a way of explaining
or justifying different group. This strereotype arise because of lack of
exposure to another group, culture, etc or we saw this in a movie or TV.
Now, I’ll share about my oppinion about
Japanese people in general. Javanese
people have as a slogan “Aton- aton waton
kelakon” it’s has same meaning witht
“slowly but sure”. But it’s really contrast with Japanese people. If we look
Japanese people on a TV, movies or if we read about Japanese people in
a newspaper or magazine, most of them
are hard worker and discipline. Most of Japanese people prefer to walk
then riding vehicles. From the way they walks, they walks faster then another
people. Japanese people also creative to
make something new. Let’s see around us, there are many things (electronics or
non electronics tools) that written “Made in Japan”. It’s mean that Japan
produce many things that we used in our daily live, Such as : motorcycle, TV,
DVD, Car, Handphone, and many things other.
