This picture means a lot for me plus if we look the situation around us. The picture show the quote from Ray Bradburry he says that 'you don't have to burn books to destroy a culture just get people to stop reading them'. If we look to the new generation maybe our sister or niece or nephew, have you ever see them reading a book? for me i always see them playing with their gadget, they never bring book around them. Then when we asked them about culture, can they answer it properly? Their knowledge about culture they received is not many as we used to learn. Also if we look our sister style, they don't dress polite anymore. Sometimes they wear crop top plus short pants, it is not a big deal for me, but if we related it with Indonesia culture which is polite then the way they dress is different from the culture because the young generation nowadays didn't know much about Indonesia culture. They just browse from the internet maybe Instagram, Vines, Tumblr to look the perfect style but they forget that they live in Indonesia culture where polite is still the principle of the Indonesia people. As time become more modern the less young generation who is pledged to the Indonesian culture because mostly they will follow the worldwide trending topic. Where is our culture now? It is starting to get forgotten by the young generation. We as the citizen who realize this must give a good influence for the young generation, we must give them advice about our culture and telling them to read more books than to just browsing the internet.
