Communality
The kindness of the Indonesian people toward strangers is their greatest claim to fame. Most foreigners' first impressions of Indonesians are that they are warm and welcoming and frequently smile. It is accurate because smiling is considered courteous in Indonesia. It is an act of friendship, kindness, and humility. a gesture intended to make conversation partners or bystanders feel at ease.
When someone smiles at you in Indonesian, it's always a good idea to return the smile, even if the person is a stranger or you just happened to meet their eyes. As an illustration, when an Indonesian person passes someone they know but is in a hurry or isn't in the mood to converse, they will merely smile in recognition.
The Indonesian population firmly supports both the long-standing pattern of mutual aid (gotong-royong) and the tradition of decision-making by consensus (musyawarah-mufakat). In the culture, politeness, modesty, and loyalty are highly valued. Despite the disparities in ethnicity and religion, it is critical for Indonesians to retain excellent neighbor relations.
Indonesians are therefore expected to regularly participate in regional meetings and events. Everyone in their neighborhood will avoid meeting or conversing with one particular family if they exhibit any form of conceit or don't make an effort to blend in.
