Underprivileged Community Life In the Present Culture

Speaking of life, it means talking to a lot of things happen in the status of a binding, that is life. Life there is a variety within the scope of humanity. One of them, namely the life of the poor.
In general, we would not think would trouble the lives of others. In the minds of all people would just mind would think it would be his life. And from the view of everybody, that's life should be lived, whatever it is, life is good and life is not good.
In this era of globalization, now lives increasingly difficult, various problems of life as if nothing will ever stop. Like the meaning of the word, "rich getting richer, poor getting poorer". As if nothing will ever change. In the social aspect of culture, city life different from life in rural areas. City life is more difficult than in rural areas of life. With the hustle and bustle of activity that diverse. Have you ever wondered: Why city life is more difficult than the life of the village? Surely we would think of it. There are so many differences that can distinguish it. One is the difference will be the things that concerns about the status of life will a person living standard. A variety of hotly contested status to become a self-identity. People flocked to improve the quality of life level. But, we try hard to look at would have the status of people can not afford. They, arguably very persistent in this life, though in fact very hard to live it.
Life is already modern, make it difficult for those people less able to be able to follow the times. But, for those people who are able, it is not unusual, but rather take advantage of it to satisfy yourself. Most people can not ever look down, look at the life of the poor. They never go directly see it. They think only about themselves. Is not it inhumane? Just think for myself without thinking of our other brothers, who need to be assisted. Indeed, the name of selfishness that will always exist, especially embedded in the nature of the community will be able in general. Many different cultures, there is in modern life, as described earlier, that one of them is attached to the consumerist culture that most people are capable of soul. Very rarely seen, people are able to mingle with the poor. Also, apparently feeling shared, already eroded by values and norms that have changed. Formerly feel like sharing it, is a must. But, now let's see, a very drastic change, the desire to share as if it was consumed by the current era, which makes people more selfish than thinking of others, especially for those who are less fortunate. We do not know what exactly they want. Are we supposed to help people less fortunate that? Difficulties faced by the poor, would not have been felt by us that is now in its peak. But, we all can ease the burden that, by continuing to continue to help them. We do not ever think to get something that is not rightly we think, not because we are helping people less fortunate, we want others to see us act, and wants to get praise for it. Everything we do will be in vain, if we think of it. But, contrary to us to help them with full sincerity without expecting anything from others, and take advantage of our actions for the benefit of many people, and it is wonderful for our actions is a role model for others to follow. So our actions is very significant.
Modern life, too, is closely associated with behavior that does not reflect itself as a good Indonesian society. That is, as mentioned earlier that the appropriate values and norms are understood and practiced in everyday life, it was off the mark and seemed to have no care about it. And this is, one deviation from the most capable people in modern life today.
Values and norms shared by every group of society. Uniquely, each of these groups, have rules or norms and values are not equal between each other. All the values and norms that are considered as wealth and pride of the community who have it. Values and norms are upheld and recognized as a treasury of culture (culture) and as evidence that the civilized society. Values and norms must be defended if slighted and threatened their existence destroyed. Right now we are faced with problems, that the value of sharing is not there anymore, especially from the most capable people. Therefore, the value that is damaged should be immediately repaired. Well, certainly we would ask: How do we fix it? The answer is we have to improve yourself, especially attitudes to each other. Norms applicable to help each other we must uphold. Because, values and norms that are inseparable and we have to recognize it.
Let's see, life in villages. Although many of the poor in general. But, they can interact with each other. That's what makes life that much different atmosphere with city life. Cultures are formed in villages, is a culture that highly concentrated with the existing tradition. Cultural tell the life of society in general, and the village is very closely related to people's lives with their environment. Village culture of mutual respect, mutual respect, helping each other, mutual cooperation, and others. Deeply felt, although many shortcomings experienced by community groups, they could face with a smile, with no burden at all. Although they are not always able to follow the modern times now, but they are able to live with mutual help and try to move forward.
But, unfortunately for a small community in the city. Although already very struggle for life. They are still not able to get out of life issues such as poverty. Reality which appears today, is just to find a bite of rice alone, it's very difficult. Moreover, to provide for daily life. Surely the poor this will not last.
Today's world is very cruel indeed. Various problems arise, and to look for work just very difficult. Unemployment is everywhere, which can add a long list of life of underprivileged communities. Now, the poor are willing to get out of life issues that handcuff them. But, I mean hugging the heart of the mountain, what did not hand power to. That remark proverb that illustrates how difficult they are, people are less able to get out of this life's problems. Hunger, unemployment, high mortality, low quality of health care, and others who seemed never be separated from the life of the poor. Is your heart moved, look at all the issues arising from this disadvantaged community? What would you do? Of course, not just by viewing only. But, did according to the real action.
Despite the many differences and problems that arise. We all should know that, we as social beings, do not be too selfish but priority is to prioritize also other people who desperately need our help. Who are victims of cruel nowadays. Let's start now, change our selfish thoughts, let it become an obstacle. But, we must remember that we do not just sit silent, immediately stood up and help our brothers, from the fall to more advanced, even if the assistance provided little, but we have to lighten their burdens of society are less able to realize the noble ideals Indonesia prosperous society. And that's not enough, without us, together with their communities are less able to escape from the problems of life today. Without any more suffering on the suffering of the poor.
