CHAPTER 2
DISCUSSION
2.1 Indonesian habits or ethics when they meet unknown or new people
at the first time
There are some unique habits that are commonly found in Indonesia,
especially when the inhabitants of Indonesia meet unknown or new people
at the first time, such as:
1. The citizens of Indonesia are mostly friendly and they always pretend to
know, as they’ve known each other to every new people that they’ve
ever met at the first time;
2. Indonesia is also considered to be a relaxed and informal society. When
greeting others in most situations, every people say “hello” or “hi”. It’s
almost similar with most of European habits, but Indonesian people will
not say “nice to meet you” or “how do you do” after greeting new people
they meet.
3. In more formal and informal situations they usually shake hands at the
first time they meet, and most of them will put it on their chest to show
some respects. But these habits are unusual in some other countries in the
world. Even it becomes strange and unacceptable habit.
4. After shaking hands they also usually mention their name or nickname,
and a nickname is usually used among friends and also it’s a sign of
acceptance and friendship. First name is used frequently in Indonesia
than in some other counties. Place of birth, address and occupation are
commonly asked when they meet new people.
5. Sometimes they will offer their new friend something, such as cigarettes,
candies and various other things.
6. In the other side, they’re easy to know and also easy to forget the name
of new people they meet.
2.2 Indonesian habits when they visit their friends’ houses
Most of the inhabitants of Indonesia have different habits with
European when they visit their friends’ houses. It’s completely difference
with Britain’s, American and also Australian. They always make a call and
sometimes bring a gift to the host. When somebody visits one house
without permission they could refuse to accept the guest. In Indonesia, it’s
possible to visit our friend’s house without a call and permission from the
very beginning. And they also don’t know the right moment to visit their
friend’s house. Even they don’t have any idea about what kind of gifts that
they have to give to the host. In this case our people can be classified as
citizens who have impolite habits than other countries who pay good
attention about their habits.
2.3 Indonesian table manners habits
Indonesian people don’t pay a lot of attention to good table manners.
Even most of the inhabitants are sophisticated when they’ve to eat with
knife and fork. Just only certain people or a professional, and in certain
situation they’ve to pay a lot of attention about things that they’ve to do
when having table manners, but the table manners are mostly adopted from
American table manners standard. However, it’s still mixed up with
Indonesian table manners customs. There are some Indonesian table
manners habits, such as:
1. They’re all having their seats together. It’s the opposite of American or
Britain’s table manners habits that they’ve to let the ladies first to have
their seats.
2. In more formal situation they start eating after everyone has been served
by the host or until the host starts eating to show consideration.
3. For informal situation, sometimes they’ve their left elbow on the table
while they’re eating by using their right hand (without fork, spoon and
knife), and also they pick food out of their teeth with fingernails after
eating.
4. For some peoples burp in public after eating or drinking is impolite
manner.
5. When they’ve finished eating they will let the fork and the spoon
together, the fork with the tines curved.
2.4 Indonesian toilet and bathroom habits (private and public toilets
and bathrooms)
Kind of toilets that we’re generally found in Indonesia are wet
toilets, and even in public places there’re hardly any dry toilets. It doesn’t
like in public toilets, they don’t need to stand in line whenever they’re
going to use their private toilets. It’s usually completed with bath-tub and a
pale to water the porcelain throne, and the room is also completed with a
large of mirror because most of the citizens in Indonesia generally pay a lot
of attention about their appearance. They don’t do any activities when
they’re on the porcelain throne. It distinguishes their habits with some other
countries such as America, England and Australia.
Public toilets are usually completed with standard facilities such as
bath-tub and the other facilities to keep that place are still clean and public
bathrooms in Indonesia also have the same facilities. Beside do stand in
line, most of people generally use this place every day in a certain time and
we should have to manage our time as short as possible we can. Make sure
that you don’t leave something of any kind after using the toilet. It’s
possible to have short conversation when they meet their business relation
in the toilet and also make sure the tap is off to restrict the water and take
the porcelain throne to the very begin position or restore it after using the
toilet.
2.5 Indonesian habits in the bedroom
There are some people who read a book, magazine or news paper
before getting a sleep. Most of them do uncover their bed. It’s caused
Indonesia has tropical season, and they only use gloves during a sleep. The
children around five years old and younger still have a sleep together with
their parents. Boys and girls around 12 to 15 and older have different
bedroom.
2.6 Indonesian habits when having or receiving social invitations
There are some unusual habits in Indonesia than European habits
when they attend social invitations; they always bring a mount of money as
their prize to the host. Sometimes, it’s possible if they want to attend the
party early and help the host to prepare the menus without confirmation at
first. Most of them have bad habits when they have to attend a party such
as, they could not be on time, and also it’s acceptable however we attend
the party as unexpected guest.
2.7 Indonesian hugging or holding hands habits
In Indonesia, holding hands or hugging is normal habit. Women
sometimes do holding hands to each other, but men always considered this
as strange habit. In the other side, men will do holding hands or hugging
when they meet their old friends. Holding hands between a boy and a girl -
Are possible and it’s also indicate that they have a special relationship each
other.
2.8 Habits or ethics in school’s and university’s environment
In school’s and university’s environment we’ve different habits or
ethics than some other countries. Our students are always not be on time to
join class. When they are waiting for their lecture, they sometimes make a
group to discuss something. They always feel sleepy when the lecture
explains about his or her subject in front of the class. Even they are really
happy when the lecture could not attend the class and they don’t realize that
they have bad advantages of it.
2.9 Indonesian time habits
“Could not be on time” is familiar in our sense of hearings. It has
become popular habit in Indonesia, and most of us considered this habit as a
usual thing that we’ve to keep in our mind as a bad habit.
2.10 Indonesian habits in public places (to stand in line, spiting, pass
wind and to pass urine)
Most of people in Indonesia are impatient when they have to keep
waiting in a certain time, especially in public places such as, in the toilet, in
the gate, in the bus station, on the road and in some other public places. In
their assumption, to be the number one is lucky, however they have to
disturb the line. In this case, we could say that “Indonesian really hate the
line”.
The other habits that we are usually found in public places in
Indonesia are our people will spit and blow their noise up, pass wind and to
pass their urine anywhere and anytime they could. They don’t care about
the other people who are disgusted by their habits and also they’ve never
felt guilty about what they’ve done in public places.
