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.

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.
