needs.

an integral part of every society. It is a learned pattern of behavior and ways
in which a person lives his or her life. Culture is essential for the existence

CHAPTER IV
CONCLUSION
Indonesia
is a country with a great number of cultures and heritages that could be enjoy,
explore and need to know because it is too pity if we as an Indonesian never
enjoy our culture and heritage. Indonesia has more than hundred culture and
heritage that we haven`t figure out and it sometimes it still at the same
condition as before. With the natural condition and the forest of Indonesia is
still green, it is good to enjoy exploring culture while we enjoy the trip
being there. The culture was made by the historical events that influence the
life of the people before. Starting from the kingdom era until the colonialism
had a great influence to our history. For a plenty of time, our neighborhood
claimed to our culture because we as Indonesian never give an appreciation for
our culture, but then when it raise up we claimed it back and took a bad ways
to save it.
From
the explanation above the writer could give an analysis that from one province
we could find at least two historical places. How if two, three, or even fifty
province, it means that we are the great country with a huge culture and
heritage. By that as a younger, at least we know what our culture is and
conserve it so people will know that it is our culture. The only savior of our
culture and our country is we as the people who lived in the country. If we
don`t save them, who will save them?
