Write down two benefits of the existence of socio-cultural diversity in Indonesia!
Answers
Answer:
CULTURE OF INDONESIA
Indonesia - a vast archipelago comprising more than 17,000 islands - contains a population numbering around 255 million people; a number that makes Indonesia the fourth most populous country in the world. These impressive numbers also imply that significant cultural, ethnic, religious and linguistic diversity can expected to be found within its boundaries, ranging from the daily Hindu rituals practiced on the island of Bali to the prevalence of Islamic sharia law in Aceh (Sumatra) or the semi-nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyles of the Mentawai people.
Moreover, before a national framework was laid upon them, the various regions experienced separate political and economic histories which still show in the current regional dynamics. Indonesia's national motto Bhinekka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity) refers to the variety in the country's internal composition but also indicates that - despite all differences in its multicultural society - there is a true sense of unity (Indonesianness) among the people of Indonesia.
