Society Shifts Values

One of the effects of modernization is the shift in values. This can be seen from
the changes that occur in society. When there is an interesting new element in the
liver, the community was slowly but surely will follow on these values. In this
case the positive value of constructive and destructive negative.

The most noticeable phenomenon of the eyes is the cultural value. This value can
be seen from at least three things: cognitive, social interaction, and artifacts.
In the cognitive level, the culture is in the mind adherents. That's where the
gathered values, institutions and ideology. On a scale of social interaction, can
be seen and felt since there was a connection. While in the area artifacts, values
that have been believed by the owner that there dijelmakan culture in the form of
objects.

If you see about our society, the cultural shift is happening naturally. At least
this happened because the effects of modernization and globalization. Sometimes
also the cultural values that have long held to be so easy to be released. Is that
too hard pull of modernity.

Modernity should be interpreted as a meeting of the various elements in the earth.

There is good bad, there is a low height, there are over there under. We need to
be selective in adopting cultural elements that enter. Do not let social
institutions which have long been built and then collapsed just a question of
gleaming modernity.

The group most easily under the influence of modernity is a young group. Young
people are usually marked with the identity search process. In a way, sometimes
there are individuals who managed to get a good identity. There are also trapped
in a dark alley modernity.

One of modernity's influence on the entertainment world. The world is filled with
a lifestyle that tends Westernized. Qibla life was always to the west country. The
issue is not the geographical, but in value. As we know, tend to be liberal
western values. Especially in relationships.

For us East nation, the value of western freedom should be censored. Because we
have the value of morality, and manners. Without the intention to generalize, in
the western world the dominant culture is freedom. Free it may be and fitrawi, but
the freedom that we need is a responsible freedom that remains in the foundation
of religious moral values.

When religion is being ignored, there will be inequality. True religion is the
source of morality and public regulators. As the ideal, the religion needs to
interpreted as the times. But that does not mean ditasfirkan origin. Religion must
be the element of human liberation in restraint of materialism. Progressifitasnya
need dijelmakan power in social reality.

A religious when faced with the challenge of modernity will deal with selectively.
Not leave the kesuluruhan, also not taken in haste. There are filter on foreign
cultures. Consider whether they fit with the personality of the nation or not. If
appropriate, it will be taken as input for the local culture, especially in
matters of science.

Shift values in our society should be seen as a social process. This means that as
a process, he has not as the end of the level of society. There are still advanced
levels continued to be up until the last level. This shift to run properly, it is
necessary to control of all of us. Do not let the noble culture that has become
blurred and there is no up to date with the present environment.

The whole of us, need to find wisdom in each change. In politics, like the option
to use democracy is also an evolving process. Surely the difference in democracies
are run by our western countries. Democracy we tend to the actualization of
Pancasila values.

When there is violence in mass culture, then it also is part of the democratic
process. There is a shift in the dialectic of society. We need to do now when he
met with violence is to make a lesson to not be repeated in the future.

The shift value can result in positive than negative, too. Depending on how we see
the spirit of the shift. In order for us to make the mass culture of this shift as
a constructive element, it is necessary awareness in the whole society. This
awareness can be done in the scale of our social structure.
