Mixed marriage (mixed married) is
marriage between a husband and wife (couples) who come from different
backgrounds. Different backgrounds, among
others, such as ethnicity, race and culture.
Problems
often intermarrying busy talking to young people when hotel.They
believe that intermarriage can improve existing keturunan.Memangnya
descent, race, ethnicity and culture are created by God in this world
that are less good or even better?
I personally feel, in fact, making
interbreeding with the lack of clarity about the status of a person. Status
of the person in question is of course concerning ancestry, race,
ethnic culture and even embraced by both parents.
By
looking at the phenomenon that is likely to happen, then the next
question arises, is it true it describes the efforts that led to the
improvement of offspring?
Each
person would come from different cultural backgrounds-beda.Kata culture
itself, according Koentjaraningrat (1985) is the overall ideas,
actions, and results of man's work in the context of a society that used
to belong to human beings learn.
By
looking at the definition above, we know that culture is the whole
idea, the action and the work produced by a particular group of people
who once belonged to them, to learn how to ensure its survival. Ideas
and actions they are commonly seen in a variety of forms (elements)
form of power, and the work of human intention.
Koentjaraningrat
(1985) says there are seven elements kebudayaan.Ia refer to it as the
substance of culture. The
seven elements are universal culture: Religious Systems, Organizational
Systems Society, Openness Knowledge, Life Livelihood Systems and
Economic Systems, Systems and Equipment Technology, Language and Arts.
Based
on the difference in the values of the culture, every married couple
must have an obligation to introduce it all to children anaknya.Hal to
introduce, of course, is not mudah.Akan but, that is the risk of the
decision to intermarry.
If, it is not taught or introduced, then what the world says to
his children someday? Because
the elements of culture that is the bookmark their true identity. One obvious example that we
can observe today is about the ability of local languages said. Do not be surprised, if many children
of mixed marriages result can not speak their own areas. In fact, they still claim that they are from the area. Obviously, there are many cultural values that will surely
fade.
Therefore,
introduce and teach cultural values to be a particular challenge for
both pasutri.Unsur-cultural elements that are very common and are
noteworthy as in accordance with the seven elements of culture proposed
by Koentjaraningrat (1985).
So,
if we add a whole then a child of a mixed marriage should be a maximum
of seven elements budaya.Berikut know is the seventh element of culture
which would be very important to know.
System Religions (Religion)The
first element of culture is human belief systems concerning the
existence of God the Pencipta.Hal arose because all creatures that look
around him and believe that there must be people who created it. Then when that comes a sense of
confidence that is now known by the name of religion (religion).
In
the intermarried families of different religions and beliefs were, of
course has a very big challenge and a weighing of the children
kelak.Karena, sometimes confused her children want to come to that
moment siapa.Pada be the toughest challenge for the two couples to meet
expectations of his children.
System of Community
OrganizationsThe second element is a system culture
community organizations. System
is a system of social organization that emerged because of human
consciousness that though created as the most perfect creature, but
still have weaknesses and strengths of each individual inter. Thus, arises felt it was important to organize and unite.
In establishing unity
and sometimes rather difficult for families that resulted from the
interbreeding. Why is that?. Obviously, because of the value system and
procedures used are necessarily different. Thus,
the two couples also have the challenge to teach or introduce to meet
the expectations of their children to be accepted among them.
Knowledge SystemsThe
third element is the culture of knowledge born pengetahuan.Sistem
system because every human being has a sense and a different mind. So as to
bring up and get something different, then it needs to be delivered so
that others also understand.
Inheritance
of this knowledge system is also a challenge for both spouses to
children anaknya.Mendapatkan various kinds of information, true and
useful knowledge is the hope of the children to their parents. How could I not?. Family,
in this case both the parents as the first place someone will learn and
grow another human should.
Livelihood systems Life and
Economic SystemsThe
fourth element is the culture and the livelihood systems of systems
economy.It is born as humans have passions and desires are unlimited and
always want more. In
addition, through the human livelihoods that also will support its
survival.
Therefore,
the two couples also have the challenge to explain the types of
livelihoods and economic systems practiced by indigenous communities
respectively.
Technology
Systems and EquipmentThe
fifth element is the cultural and technological systems
peralatan.Sistem exists because humans are capable of creating something
new and goods in order to make ends meet.
This
is actually distinguishes humans with God's creatures who lainnya.Oleh
Therefore, both couples have a responsibility to introduce also teach to
their children.
Language SystemsThe
sixth element is the cultural vernacular bahasa.Sistem system used by a
clan, which is different from the local language lainnya.Karena is a
typical product of man as homo longues are alive and living in the area.
Therefore, both the families intermarried couples have
challenges sll below to teach the local language to their children. Is
not the local language of identity bookmark someone?
ArtThe
seventh element is kesenian.Kesenian culture existed and were created
to meet the needs of the human psyche after all human physical needs are
met. Through
art that, each tribe will demonstrate creativity, work, their intention
is certainly very unique to other ethnic groups around the world.
Therefore,
the two couples also have a responsibility to pass on the values that
dianutnya.Karena this art can also be a means for them to actualize
himself.
In
principle there are no descendants, ethnic, racial and cultural
salah.Sehingga, we need memperbaikinya.Karena, culture itself was born
from the mind, power, work, human initiative that comes from common
sense rationality created by God the Creator.***By
looking at the review above, it is clear that both of intermarried
couples are diffe
rent tribes, races and cultures have many
tantangan.Tantangan-challenges that must be accounted for is the
inheritance of cultural values shared by both spouses for their
children.
Cultural
values that must be introduced and taught is that of the seven
elements budaya.Karena through things that, mareka will be known and
recognized by the surrounding community.
