Culture Diversitty

The country of Indonesia is extremely diversified. Over 300 ethnic groups live on its more than 17,500 islands, 6,000 of which are inhabited. Each province has its unique history, religion, ethnic makeup, and language. Local identity is typically prioritized over national identity. In addition, there are a lot of cultural influences that come from diverse ancestries. Chinese, European, Indian, and Malay influences are mixed among Indonesians.

Despite having the world's largest Muslim population, Indonesia also has a sizable Protestant, Catholic, Hindu, and Buddhist population. To sustain coherence, the government has had to pay a lot of attention to this enormous diversity. As a result, "Unity in Diversity" serves as the country's motto, and the language has been standardized.

Because Indonesian society is so different, there is a strong tendency to gravitate toward the group, whether it be a family, community, or island. People define themselves in terms of their family, place of birth, and ethnicity. The family's structure is still fairly conventional. Family members are well aware of their connection and have clearly defined duties.
