THE INFLUENCE OF GLOBALIZATION ON THE EXISTENCE OF REGIONAL CULTURE

Abstract

Globalization as a door guide to step into the outside world. Interact with the outside world, but the entry of globalization does not only have a positive impact but also has a negative impact. Globalization shifts the values of nationalism and culture that already exist in Indonesia. Globalization causes various problems in the field of culture, for example: the loss of the original culture of a region or a country, the erosion of cultural values, a decrease in the sense of nationalism and patriotism, loss of kinship and mutual cooperation, loss of self- confidence, a lifestyle that is not in accordance with our customs . Therefore it is necessary for us to limit the scope of globalization which must be applied and which must be rejected. It is necessary that the role of the government through policies is more directed to cultural or cultural considerations rather than solely the economy which is detrimental to a cultural development in the policies formulated. So the government needs to restore its function as a protector and protector of traditional arts without having to interfere in the aesthetic process.
