Java language; survive crushed era

Currently, as a nation, we are faced with the entry of new cultures from abroad. These are cultural or not to give effect to the culture that we have for this alone. In an era where the boundary region does not become relevant again, as if all cultural uniform look. With conditions such as the need for a nation that has the identity and identity itself. Identity is not only the different but should also become a pride.
At the time we dig up our identity as a nation, we often do not realize that it is actually what we have left we have since time immemorial. Local culture is diverse and interesting. Ironically it is precisely forgotten particularly by the young generation.
Like the Java language that exists at this time concern. Our young people at this time are reluctant to use the Java language because of practicality. In addition to the many new form of language, which is often called Gaul language, Java language and even more marginalized in the Java community itself. The use of Java language at this time is often inserted other languages such as Bahasa Indonesia. Also often use not in accordance with the unggah-ungguhing basa (manners, rank).
According to a research conducted by Fathur and colleagues (1997) on the user's language families, and the faithful Javanese good at this time is dominated more by the age of 50 years and over, whether in the village and in the city. Some 72 percent of people aged 30-49 years using the Java language in rural areas and for those who live in the city of some 54% use a mix of languages. At the age of 30 years to bottom, number is very sad because the Java language was very low, namely 18%.
During the Java language is taught only in a formal school program through the local (mulok). See the reality expressed by the research above, the effectiveness of the Java language teaching through the program mulok is necessary. Perhaps teaching is only limited to mere formality. Meanwhile, student interest and passion for language Java was never raised. If so, who inherited the cultural area soon?
Language is not just the media to communicate and not just the delivery information. Language is the element that describes the cultural values that have in the community. For Java, Java language has considered noble values and cultural wealth that is not priceless. However, the existence of Java language itself has experienced setbacks. Currently using the Java language has been considered behind the times of ancient and, in particular for the youth.
Bring back the passion of both Java and true, of course, is not easy in the era such as this. While a nation will never be developed if people did not own cultural glory of the nation itself. Other nations that have been developed, such as Japan and Korea, can be located in front of us because they are proud of the culture itself. When other people can define wealth nation own, why do not we?

Not because people have not used the function of a chair so they prefer to sit on the floor. This is due to the values of equality or egalitarian they raised. Sit down with low-level stand. By using the chairs, the atmosphere is awakened "seats this place to sit!" Compare the way in which to sit lesehan people rarely claim ownership of the seat, but that is the impression arises "Let's sit together here!"
