Sundanese culture diminished in the community
The dynamics of human life that continues to grow rapidly now entering a new phase, which is half of modern civilization.Development of mass media as a window of information society and technological sophistication, capable of changing human lifestyles that no longer rely on traditional ways of life. Civilization would have been like this, more or less eroded the old cultural values. Gradually, various kinds of cultural heritage such as art, musical instruments, the local language, to the traditional game was becoming obsolete and being a stranger in his own country.
Modernization is affecting the stability of the cultures in various areas, including the Sundanese culture. The original culture of West Java community is becoming increasingly pinched. indeed unfortunate, whereas it contains a lot of Sundanese culture philosophical values and one of the oldest cultures in Indonesia.
Various elements of the real potential Sundanese culture still many who do not even tereksplor. Call it traditional games such as "sorodot gaplok", "chatterbox jengkol" and "jajangkungan". Or traditional musical instruments such as "angklung", "lute", "xylophone", "saron", and "bonang". Sunda and specialties such as "Surabi", "ranginang", and "opaque" seems to have received considerable attention.
Sundanese culture faded charm of this happened because people blinded by a foreign culture is packaged in such a way that creates a feeling of pride and confidence with their own culture. More concerned him more, the emergence of negative perceptions such as "out of date", "no slang", or "wong Deso" was in those who still maintain the Sundanese culture. For example, between the dances jaipong underestimated compared with break dancing that was loved by young children.
Perception is that it's time to change, when a foreign culture with free use of mass media to promote their culture. Why Sundanese people did not do so to increase the interest in studying the local culture again? Difficult can it? Should we wait first Sundanese culture that we have claimed another nation?
Surely the role of society and government in this case, must co-exist. Government who have access and authority, as soon as possible menghak patented all its cultural heritage and provide facilities to the community to create and preserve culture. Not just a place, but financial support has so far not felt the community.
This modern life can not be separated for granted. Moreover, to shut ourselves off from the development of Science and Technology. Indeed humans need a decent life in accordance with the times. However, should not forget the local culture or feel pride in native culture. Moreover, these cultures have values and philosophical benefits.
This is what we need to realize, no nation can live forever just relied on natural resources. The results of this earth is now very thin, especially after the occurrence of various kinds of disasters are increasingly eroded the wealth of nature. Then what will we bequeath to our grandchildren someday when suppose the earth is depleted and the culture was extinct?
Yeye Sukmaya, cultural activists and Sunda, said Sunda cosmology must be introduced to the outside world in order to show that the culture of Indonesia, especially Sunda, not least from other cultures are taught about the pristine spiritualism.
"Cosmology Sunda contain teachings that humans have always lived harmoniously and harmony between man and man and man to God. It has existed since the 15th century and was raised again in the 20th century," he said in Bandung on Friday (27/3).
He said that people should be given the understanding that this Sunda Cosmology is something spiritual rather than mystical.
"From the first, Sunda has taught that there is Sang Hyang singles. That the Creator should be worshiped. When Islam came, Cosmology Sundanese mingled with religion. They do not collide, but rather stand next to each other. If mystical, human worship what's on world, which is horizontal in nature and are equal to humans, "said Yeye.
However, according to him, before this could be introduced to the outside world, the Indonesian people themselves must be willing to know their culture and proud culture of Indonesia.
According to him, people are now embarrassed to be the perso Sunda and finally the culture that was eroded every change of generations.
"Modernization of the materialist culture to destroy the good. How kids can love their own culture when every waking morning cartoon show he always diasupi west? Spectacle that loudly? When I grow up, children will bring their influence continues to be since childhood. So do not be surprised if one day the Sundanese culture will become extinct, "he said.
Dra Anne Nurfarina, MSN, Executive Chairman of the Cultural Event held on Sunda Cosmology (26/3) at the University of Pasundan (Unpas) Bandung, said many people no longer love Sundanese Sundanese culture because of insecurity into the Sundanese.
Influx of Western culture causes people no longer go into the culture of Indonesia, particularly Sundanese culture. "People no longer understand Sundanese culture. Thus, they become less confident because of fear of being wrong. Culture are increasingly fading," he said.
Yeye Sukmaya provide solutions to overcome the fading threat of Indonesia's cultural pride, which wawuh, wanoh, love, and identity.
"People, especially the Sundanese, must apply wawuh, wanoh, love, and identity. That is, the people must know the culture first, then try to memengerti, then nurture it, love it, so that there arose our identity as a nation of Indonesia," he said.
Love the culture and sense of nationalism should be taught to children from childhood to adulthood when they get to know their culture and trying to preserve it.
Finally, the government also must be willing to work directly in increasing the love of Sundanese culture to the community in West Java, he added.
In a seminar held on Sunda Cosmology Unpas on (27/3), an expert on the history and culture of Sunda, Prof. Jacob Soemarjo, was present to give the material a matter of Cosmology Sunda.
