to come together on this day. Shalawat and salam may always delivered be upon our Great Prophet Muhammad Saw who had

I also want to say, thank you, to the committee to give me time and chance to
giving my speech here today. And also, my beloved audiences, thank you for
coming today.
Before i speech
its will be better if i introduce my self.My name fikar razani, i came from
cimahi and i am a delegation from ma multiteknik asih putera cimahi
Alright, today i
will present my speech about “the effect of globalization for language and
culture in indonesia”
So What
is Globalization? We often hear
globalization in this modern era but do you know what is globalization? according
to Wikipedia, Globalization is the process of international integration arising
from
the interchange of world views, products, ideas, and other aspects of culture.
including the rise of the Internet, are major factors in globalization,or in simpler way if you can find starbuks coffe at the
mall that’s globalization. Every nations, on this Earth,
will or must do a process called Globalization. Every nations should open their
mind. They should welcome every new culture come to their country from the
others.
Swedish journalist,
Thomas Larsson, in his book “The Race to the Top: The Real Story of
Globalization”, states that globalization:
“...is the process
of world shrinkage, of distances getting shorter, things moving closer. It
pertains to the increasing ease with which somebody on one side of the world
can interact, to mutual benefit, with somebody on the other side of the world.”
So the
globalization make every nations just like feels really close to each other and
make our activities easier.
Talking about
globalization is related with the culture. Why?like a said before the
globalization progress universal icluding culture and culture is national
identity so that’s way culture is also a national identity that should be
respected and cared by the successors of the nation,and our coutry,indonesia
has many culture but we are united with a slogan bhineka tunggal ika,we are
different but we are one.
And then the
globalization also make a effect for the language. Existence of indonesian language which is the identity of
Indonesia in the era of globalization, needs to be fostered and promoted by
every citizen of Indonesia. This is necessary so that the Indonesian people are
not carried away by the influence of foreign culture and not in accordance with
Indonesian. Indonesian
languages indeed an important role in building a whole Indonesian person.
Well after i
explained about globalization in our
country,we can see the globalization make our life in modern era so ifluential. But globalization
not always good,there’s have a bad side of globalization.It’s that mean we have
problem.So what is the problem?the problem is some people in indonesia were too
fanatic to other coutries like brand, products,and maybe our language will be
lost because we use the wrong language even,maybe some of them were have forgot
our nation’s identity.The worst part is,when our people are too fanatic with
other brands and culture maybe in future our characteristic and identity will
extict
If the east and
west unite, there still characteristic of our culture? Or we are soluble in the
culture of other nations without leaving the slightest our value system?
Therefore it is necessary save our socio-cultural aspects as national identity.
So, what we must do? What we need to do to save our
culture? The answer is simple, love it,and then we
must be selective in other culture.If that is good and according to our culture
we can follow that culture but that is a poor culture should we leave,and we
must utilizing the result of globalization as well as possible,at this
globalization era we can learn many things,and we learn for make our country
better.Actually,not wrong if you like other country culture but we must dont
forget to our identity
So,save our culture,
language and bring our country towards
better with globalization .As pa Alim Markus said, "Cintailah produk
produk indonesia",So love our products and our culture
Maybe so that I
can say,i’m sorry when many mistakes from me
