generation to the next one, in which culture can be transmitted along. Because today’s
youngwomen and men are distracted by a multitude of cultural signals (from popular
entertainment to the content of formal education), there is a risk that they will disengage from
the traditional arts.

Moreover, if we don't keep Indonesian cultures and arts, other countries will
claim our cultures as their own. Then, who should be blamed? the Government? is it us who
continuously not preserve Indonesian culture?
The first step to solve this problem is by increasing a spirit of nationalism. We have
to love domestic products and appreciate the tradition. There are many peoples who don’t
appreciate the artworks of Indonesian artist, and not interested in preserving our culture. As
the successor of the nation, we should keep all the existing Batik art, we can start from a little
thing like by practicing Batik in daily life.

country, we should take the positive one.

traditions such as Batik and we have to selective against the influence of globalization, to
