THE IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON CULTURAL EXISTENCE
Introduction
Globalization as a special phenomenon in human civilization that moves continuously
in a global society and is part of the process of human life. The presence of information
technology and communication technology accelerates the process of globalization.
Globalization that occurs touches all important aspects of life. Globalization creates various
new challenges and problems that must be answered, solved in an effort to take advantage of
globalization for the benefit of life. Globalization is always discussed by many people, all
over the world.
Globalization implies the loss of a situation where the movement of goods and services
between countries around the world can move freely and openly. With the opening of one
country to another, what happens is the entry of not only goods and services, but also
technology, consumption patterns, education, cultural values and others. The concept of
globalization, according to Robertson (1992), refers to the incentive narrowing of the world
and the increase in our awareness of the world, namely the increasing global connections
and our understanding of these connections. The process of world narrowing can be
understood in the context of the institutions of modernity and the intensification of world
consciousness can be perceived reflexively better culturally.
Globalization has many interpretations from different perspectives. Some people
interpret globalization as the process of shrinking the world or making the world like a small
village. Others say that globalization is an effort to unify the world community in terms of
lifestyle, orientation, and culture. Another definition of globalization as stated by Barker
(2004) is that globalization is a global economic, social, cultural and political connection
that increasingly leads in various directions throughout the world and penetrates our
consciousness. Global production of local products and localization of global products.
Globalization is considered to be the process by which events, decisions and activities
in one part of the world can have important consequences for individuals and societies in
other parts of the world. The developmental process of globalization was initially marked by
advances in information technology and communication. Which in turn is the driver of
globalization. The progress of this field then affects other sectors of life, such as politics,
economy, social, culture and others. Any part of the world will be able to access information
from other parts of the world quickly. This will lead to interaction between the people of the
world at large, which in turn will influence each other.
According to Krsna's opinion (The Effect of Globalization on Human Cultural
Pluralism in Developing Countries.internet.public journal.september 2005). As a process,
globalization takes place through two dimensions in the interaction between nations, namely
the dimensions of space and time. Space is getting narrower and time is getting shorter in
interaction and communication on a world scale. Globalization takes place in all areas of life
such as the fields of ideology, politics, economics, socio-culture, defense and security and
others. Information and communication technology is the main supporting factor in
globalization. The development of technology is so fast that all information with various
forms and interests can be widely spread throughout the world.
The presence of globalization certainly has an influence on the life of a country,
including United States. The influence includes two sides, namely positive influence and
negative influence. The influence of globalization in various fields of life such as political
life, economics, ideology, socio-culture and others. On the other hand, globalization raises
various problems in the field of culture, for example: The loss of the original culture of a
region or a country, the erosion of cultural values, the decline of nationalism and patriotism,
the loss of kinship and mutual cooperation, loss of self-confidence, a lifestyle that is not in
accordance with our customs.
Another problem that arises is the inevitability of problems with the existence of
regional culture, one of which is the decline in love for culture which is the identity of a
nation, the erosion of cultural values, the occurrence of cultural acculturation which further
develops into mass culture.
Research Methods
This research uses a qualitative approach method, which receives information in the
form of data in the form of sentences or narratives obtained through qualitative data
collection techniques. The author conducts literature searches to collect data.
The method of data analysis in this study was carried out by descriptive analysis
method. The data that has been obtained is then analyzed by descriptive analysis method.
Descriptive analysis method is done by compiling the data obtained then interpreted and
analyzed so as to provide good information (Glinka, 2008).
Results And Discussion
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.

away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.

The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading

capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that

subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the

Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.

western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.

the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a

the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely

and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of

offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of

without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the

will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned

will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans

especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.

fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so

With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift

authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new

in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.

consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national

its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue

without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a

Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
that are different from those they have and have known so far. This cultural contact provides
important input for changes and development of values and perceptions among the people
involved in this process. The arts of United States, which has ethnic strengths from various
regions, cannot be separated from the influence of this cultural contact. Therefore, to make
adjustments to changes, developments that are global in nature but still characterized by
local or ethnic strengths are needed.
Rapid cultural globalization must be anticipated by strengthening national cultural
identity. Various traditional arts that are actually assets of national cultural wealth should not
only become tools or slogans of policy holders, especially the government, in the context of
tourism, politics, etc. So far, the guidance and development of traditional arts carried out by
government agencies is still limited to mere elements of formality, without touching the
essence of the life of the art concerned. As a result, instead of developing and preserving
these traditional arts, they are increasingly shunned by the public. Thus, the challenges faced
by folk art are quite severe. Because in this era of technology and communication that is
very sophisticated and modern, people are faced with many alternatives as choices, both in
determining quality and taste. This makes it very possible for the existence and existence of
folk art to be underestimated by the community, when compared to modern art which is the
result of pop culture. To deal with these issues, there are several alternatives to overcome
them, namely increasing the Human Resources (HR) of folk artists. In addition, restore the
role of government officials as protectors and protectors, and not destroy them for the sake
of power and development that is oriented towards project funds or funds for development in
the economic field only.
Conclusions
The influence of globalization on the one hand turns out to have a negative influence
on United States culture. The norms contained in United States culture are slowly fading
away. The incessant invasion of technology along with the interinsic values imposed in it,
has raised the issue of globalization and ultimately led to a new value of world unity. If
globalization has become global and inseparable in all aspects of our lives, it can be said that
the country has become one within the scope of globalization.
Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the socio-cultural aspects of United States as a
national identity. The trick is to filter the culture that enters United States and preserve the
nation's culture. For people who try to develop traditional art into part of modern life, they
will certainly continue to modify art forms that are still based on the past to become
commodities that can be consumed by modern society.
Regional culture is the priceless wealth of the United States nation and is not owned
by foreign nations. Therefore, as successors who are the inheritors of the nation's culture, we
will always maintain a very expensive cultural art. With globalization that facilitates humans
in life, but the existence of regional culture must be maintained.
Concept of Globalization
According to its origin, the word "globalization" is taken from the word global, which
means universal. Globalization is a process of making something (object or behavior) a
characteristic of every individual in this world without being limited by territory
Globalization does not yet have an established definition, except for a working definition, so
it depends on which side people see it. Some see it as a social process, or a historical
process, or a natural process that will bring all nations and countries in the world
increasingly bound to each other, realizing a new order of life or a unity of co-existence by
removing the geographical, economic and cultural boundaries of society.
On the other hand, there are those who see globalization as a project promoted by the
superpowers, so people may have a negative or suspicious view of it. From this perspective,
globalization is nothing but capitalism in its most advanced form. Powerful and wealthy
countries will practically control the world economy and small countries will be helpless
because they are unable to compete. Therefore, globalization tends to have a major effect on
the world economy, and even affects other fields such as culture and religion.
There are several opinions about the language of globalization as follows:
Internationalization, Liberalization, Universalization, Westernization, Transplanetary
relations and supraterritoriality.
According to Cochrane and Pain in relation to globalization, there are three theoretical
positions that can be seen, namely:
Globalists believe that globalization is a reality that has real consequences for how people
and institutions around the world operate. They believe that countries and local cultures will
be lost to a homogenized global culture and economy. However, globalists do not share the
same opinion about the consequences of the process.
Positive and optimistic globalists respond favorably to such developments and claim that
globalization will result in a tolerant and responsible world society. Pessimistic globalists
argue that globalization is a negative phenomenon because it is actually a form of western
colonialism (especially the United States) that forces some form of homogeneous culture
and consumption that looks right on the surface. Some of them then form groups to oppose
globalization (antiglobalization).
Traditionalists do not believe that globalization is happening. They argue that this
phenomenon is a myth or, if it exists at all, has been greatly exaggerated. They point out that
capitalism has been an international phenomenon for hundreds of years. What we are
experiencing today is merely an advanced stage, or evolution, of capital production and
trade.
Transformationalists fall somewhere between globalists and traditionalists. They agree that
the effects of globalization have been greatly exaggerated by globalists. However, they also
argue that it would be foolish to deny the existence of the concept. This theoretical position
argues that globalization should be understood as "a set of interrelated relationships purely
through a force, most of which is not direct". They argue that this process can be reversed,
especially when it is negative or, at least, controllable. The existence of pessimistic
globalists has led to the anti-globalization movement.
The existence of pessimistic globalists cannot be prevented. Because each person has
their own thinking power and we cannot force everyone to accept the emergence of
globalization.
"Anti-globalization" is considered by some to be a social movement, while others
consider it to be an umbrella term that encompasses a number of different social movements.
Whatever the case, participants are united in their opposition to the current global economy
and trading system, which they say erodes the environment, labor rights, national
sovereignty, the third world, and many other causes.
However, people labeled "anti-globalization" often reject the term, and they prefer to
refer to themselves as the Global Justice Movement, the Movement of All Movements or
any number of other terms.
Characteristics of Globalization
Here are some characteristics that indicate the growing phenomenon of globalization
in the world.
Changes in time and space Constantine. The development of items such as mobile phones,
satellite television and the internet means that global communication is happening at a rapid
pace, while through mass movements such as tourism, we can experience many things from
different cultures.
Markets and economic production in different countries are becoming interdependent as a
result of the growth of international trade, the increasing influence of multinational
corporations, and the dominance of organizations such as the World Trade Organization
(WTO).
Increased cultural interaction through the development of mass media (especially television,
movies, music, and the transmission of international news and sports). Today, we can
consume and experience new ideas and experiences about things that cut across diverse
cultures, for example in fashion, literature, and food.
Increasingly common problems, such as the environment, multinational crises, regional
inflation and others.
Globalization and Regional Culture
The echo of globalization, which has begun to be felt since the end of the 20th century,
has made the world community, including the United States nation, must be prepared to
accept the reality of the influx of external influences on all aspects of national life. One
aspect that is affected is culture. In relation to culture, culture can be defined as the values
embraced by the community or the perceptions held by community members towards
various things. Or culture can also be defined as its form, which includes ideas, which are
manifested in our traditional arts. Therefore, values and perceptions are related to
psychological aspects. These psychological aspects become important when it is realized
that a person's behavior is strongly influenced by what is in the mind of the person
concerned. As one of the results of a person's thoughts and discoveries is art, which is a
subsystem of culture. For the United States people, the cultural aspect is one of the strengths
of the nation which has a wealth of diverse values, including its arts. Folk art, one part of the
culture of the United States nation, has not escaped the influence of globalization.
Globalization in culture can develop quickly, this is certainly influenced by the speed
and ease of access to communication and news, but this actually backfires and becomes the
most crucial or important problem in globalization, namely the fact that the development of
science and knowledge is controlled by developed countries. As a result, developing
countries are always worried about being left behind in the flow of globalization in various
fields such as politics, economics, social, culture, including our arts. The discourse of
globalization as a process is marked by the rapid development of science and technology so
that it is able to fundamentally change the world. International communication and
transportation have eliminated the cultural boundaries of every nation.
The culture of every nation tends to lead to globalization and becomes a world
civilization that involves humans as a whole. Simon Kemoni explains that globalization in
its natural form will elevate various cultures and cultural values. In this natural process,
every nation will try to adapt their culture to new developments so that they can continue
their lives and avoid destruction. But in this process, nations must strengthen their cultural
dimensions and maintain their value structures so that they are not eliminated by foreign
cultures. To this end, nations must acquire useful scientific information and increase their
experience.
The process of mutual influence is a natural symptom in interactions between
societies. Through interactions with various other societies, they have experienced the
process of being influenced and influencing. The ability to change is an important
characteristic of human culture. Without it, our regional culture would not be able to adapt
to changing circumstances. The changes that are happening today are happening so fast. In
just one generation many developing countries have tried to implement cultural change,
whereas in developed countries such changes take place over several generations. In
essence, the United States nation, as well as other nations, developed due to external
influences. Progress can be produced by interaction with outsiders, which is what happens in
the process of globalization. Therefore, globalization is not only an economic matter but also
related to the problem or issue of cultural meaning where the values and meanings attached
to it are still meaningful.
The Impact of Globalization on Local Culture (Culture that Survives or is Sidelined)
Cultural changes that occur in traditional societies, namely changes from closed
societies to more open societies, from homogeneous values to pluralism of values and social
norms are one of the impacts of globalization. Science and technology have fundamentally
changed the world. Communication and means of International transportation has
eliminated the cultural boundaries of each nation. The culture of each nation tends to lead to
globalization and becomes a world civilization that involves humans as a whole. For
example, specifically in the field of mass entertainment or mass entertainment, the meaning
of globalization has been so pronounced. For example, we can watch movies on TV that
come from developed countries through television stations in the country. Not to mention
international TV broadcasts that can be captured through satellite dishes that are now
increasingly owned by United Statess. Meanwhile, other popular arts presented through
cassettes, vcd, and dvd from foreign countries are also increasingly present in our midst.
Such facts provide evidence of how the countries with the latest technology have managed
to take control of cultural globalization, especially in third countries.
Such transcultural events will affect the existence of our arts. Our traditional arts are
part of the national cultural treasures that need to be preserved. At the same time, with
today's increasingly sophisticated information technology, we are treated to many alternative
offers of entertainment and information that are more diverse, which may be more
interesting when compared to our traditional arts. With technology we can watch a variety of
entertainment shows that are global in nature originating from various parts of the world.
Such conditions inevitably make United States traditional arts increasingly excluded from
the lives of United States people who are full of meaning in United States society.
With the advent of social changes that came as a result of the industrialization process
and the market economy system, and the globalization of information, our arts began to shift
towards arts with a commercial dimension. Ritual arts began to be eliminated and lost their
function. However, this does not mean that all of our traditional arts have disappeared. There
are various arts that still show their existence, and even creatively continue to develop
without being oppressed by the modernization process.
The rapid pace of information technology or communication technology has become a
powerful means of cultural diffusion, as well as an alternative entertainment option variety
for the wider community. As a result, people are no longer interested in enjoying various
traditional performing arts that were previously familiar with their lives. For example, the
traditional art of wayang orang is now looking quiet. This is unfortunate considering that
wayang is one of United States traditional art forms that is full and rich in moral messages,
and is one of the agents of instilling good moral values.
Another example is the art of Ludruk, ketoprak is currently experiencing "suspended
animation". Wayang orang and ludruk are small examples of the decline of traditional arts
due to globalization. It is possible that this phenomenon is not only experienced by
traditional Javanese arts, but also in various traditional artistic expressions in various places
in United States. However, this does not mean that all traditional arts died with the spread of
globalization. On the other hand, there are some performing arts that still exist but have
changed their function.
There are also arts that are able to adapt and transform themselves with
communication technology that has integrated into people's lives, for example, the
traditional art of "Ketoprak" which was popularized to the screen by the Srimulat group. The
above facts show that the art of ketoprak actually has its own fans, especially ketoprak
which is presented in the form of television broadcasts, not stage ketoprak. In terms of the
form of performance or presentation, ketoprak is a traditional art that has proven to be able
to adapt to changing times.
In addition to ketoprak there are other arts that survive and are able to adapt to the
latest technology, namely shadow puppets. The current globalization has influenced the
development of United States culture. The swift flow of information and
telecommunications has turned out to cause a trend that leads to the fading of cultural
preservation values. The development of 3T (Transportation, Telecommunication, and
Technology) has resulted in a reduced desire to preserve the culture of our own country.
United States culture that used to be friendly, gotong royong and polite has shifted to
western culture. Globalization has infiltrated various social value systems and cultures
(including United States), thus opening up value conflicts between technology and
indigenous values.
The role of government policy should be more directed towards cultural or cultural
considerations rather than solely economic ones that are detrimental to cultural development.
The government needs to restore its function as protector and guardian of traditional arts
without interfering in the aesthetic process. It is recognized that folk art today requires
government funding and assistance so it is difficult to avoid government involvement and
for folk artists it is also difficult to make their own decisions in accordance with the
authenticity (originality) that the folk artists want.
Therefore, the government must truly "perform" its role as a protector who protects the
authenticity and aesthetic development of folk art without having to change and adjust to
political policies. The globalization of information and culture that is happening in the new
millennium is inevitable. We must adapt to it because there are many benefits to be gained.
It must be admitted that communication technology as a product of modernization is of great
benefit to the creation of cultural dialogue and democratization on a mass and equitable
basis.
Globalization has a major impact on culture. Cultural contact through the mass media
makes people aware of and provides information about the existence of other cultural values
