Cultural differences Indonesian and American Culture

Cultural differences Indonesian and American Culture

There are some interesting things for dibandingin of Indonesian culture and American culture, because it might be the opposite of longitude we may therefore also we have a culture of opposites even though in some cases there is the same.
Among the cultural differences that exist between Indonesia and the US such as the following:
Ø Indonesian prefer to eat rice, Americans love to eat bread and potatoes.
Yep, if we create an Indonesian rice is the most important thing, even for some people there who told me not to eat if not eaten rice hahaha, but yes that's the fact that we often hear, but the American people actually prefer to eat bread or potatoes, they eat white rice as we are only sometimes alone.
Ø Indonesian love of cigarettes and little bit of alcohol, the American love of alcohol and little bit of cigarette.
Maybe first kedengerannya odd, but actually weve so in reality. It feels almost all my friends in Indonesia ngerokok especially the guys, and they are not so fond of alcohol, what are predominantly Muslim Indonesia which clearly was kharam legal alcoholic beverages. If in America drink alcohol like the word has become a typical drink them daily, in any event there must be a dish in the form of alcoholic beverages. But they are not so fond of cigarettes, in America rarely people who smoke just as in Indonesia.
Ø Indonesian love offal, the American love pork / pork
Perhaps this one is not really a valid 100% because not all Indonesian people like offal, but yes the point here is that dua2nya food is unhealthy but very tasty, but for the people of Indonesian Muslims, pigs are very highly prohibited and unlawful, then of the pigs in Indonesia kkurang so attractive.
The opposite of the Indonesian customs, people in America are actually pork meat specialties them everyday, because they are mostly non-Muslims of course, so there is no prohibition for them to eat pork.
Ø Ethics in the mix too freely in America, in Indonesia are always to the fore the ethical and moral.
Which is Ko buildup in United when meeting with friends or other people always greeted with kisses and hugs, it has become a habit that is not foreign anymore even though they were not mukhrim. If in Indonesia shake hands with the opposite sex who is not mukhrimnya it could be slander. In Indonesia, women really keep himself from bad things. Examples: Indonesian woman wearing clothes that cover the nakedness so free from the view men, unlike women in America who likes wearing revealing clothes to show her sexiness. And they are also more willing to show off pictures of the vulgar.
Ø Against something new
Indonesian people if there is something new, not yet satisfied if not to have it, so do not be surprised if many Indonesian people konsumtive, have mutually phone - change, there is even a collection of HP, car mutually each year, simply because they do not want to miss a model . In contrast to the West West if there is something new, not necessarily misguided want to know and want to have or wear it, just know ..
Ø Time
Famous Indonesian people undervalue the time if there is sometimes not timely appointments. Unlike the Americans, they really appreciate the time, because they most baseball like that pledge aka rubber hours late time.
Therefore to avoid western cultures are less good to be applied in Indonesia, then we as a country should be able to sort colors -milah where the good and bad that Indonesian culture is not contaminated with foreign cultures that are less good.
