d. Conclusions
Indonesia is a beautiful country in which we as the citizens are more
than happy to be living here. This country have attracted thousands of
tourists to come here and enjoy its beautiful scenery and what this
country has to offer namely: the cuisine, the hospitality of its people,
and the strong cultural heritage.
Indonesia can be a greater country when the there is a transformation in
its government system. This country is notorious for being corrupt and
nepotism is widely discussed as an issue to this country. Also, the
benefits of being a citizen has been lacking especially people with
financial needs, need basic things such as education, food, shelter, and
also social security. Improving the countries system and having a better
bilateral agreements with other countries can affect on Indonesia
heavily as it can learn from other developed countries. So, living in
Indonesia has its pros and cons but this is still the country in which we
were raised and lived for our entire life, but above all we love this
country unconditionally.
