Culture Through the writing hand

//
You can see how the various events that occurred many years ago or a hundred years past? History books may be your answer. Not one of the books because a lot of history relate what is happening, long before the era of this information. Not to mention the revolution in printing machine and the Internet that allows information recorded in time with both.

Although the literature at this time can be spelled out and complete variety, past history of mankind is not a crack are presented through the books and digital devices that are currently available. For the culture of any posts is not the oldest human culture. Conversely, the oral culture much older than the culture of writing. Community groups and even some still retain this oral culture.

Before the era of any posts, of the tradition from generation to generation is done verbally. Akan bertutur the ancestor to the child-grandchildren, convey moral stories, including a variety of teaching. This method can still be found on a number of tribes.

However, the oral method has a number of weaknesses. The main weakness is that not many people can remember what the preceding setepat was raised on it. Slightly more, of course that does not have tersampaikan. Not to mention the possibility to increase or reduce the open-conscious enough.

However, people do not immediately recognize any posts with the alphabetical system such as we at this time. Previously, known piktogram, the script is an image to reveal a specific mandate. This tradition is very old age. Times the initial estimated piktogram this in Mesopotamia by the ancient Sumerian.

Humans begin to enter the period is estimated around 3000 BC characters. Aksara first is called a first-time through three major cultures: Sumerian nation in Mesopotamia with the letter pakunya, community Nile River valley in Egypt with hieroglifnya, and Han people in the Yellow River valley with the characters han (Kridalaksana and Sutami 2005).

Revolution occurs when any posts new found Gutenberg printing press in Europe. The books used to take many years to copy them, are now able to more quickly. Until Martin Luther also said that printing is one of the biggest gift of God than safety (regulation 2002). This allows the distribution of literature with more quickly. Even when this technology has enabled dihasilkannya thousands of copies in a shorter time.

TIME freeze, hand CULTURE

Writing activities can be considered as the actual winter time activities. Context of the surrounding areas are recorded in succession. This is clearly felt, for example, in books biography, so far as the book written honestly. For the information written down in any posts is recorded throughout the period. The recording is in fact relatively more durable because the digital revolution is happening.

Basically, a number of contexts can be recorded along with any posts, as far as the context-context (time, place, culture) are included; explicit or implicit. When any posts that read back, feel included in it will be much less arrested. Thus, the description of the situation (and thus culture) in the vicinity of the writing can be felt as well.

The Bible is a form of success in the context of various freezing. The author is very good with the capture and represent the feel of the era – something that we as religious guidance of the Holy Spirit. Not surprising when we’re reminded or prosecuted for a particular context when looking at the want of a clause in order not to erroneously interpret the section.

When any posts that are focused more on cultural aspects, aspects of which was (when expressed in a way that’s good) can be enjoyed, as it were, will be present directly in front of readers. Thus, the inherited culture of life will be better. Especially when equipped with the illustration, illustrations, pictures, or photos. Printed media and web site allows this.

There are several types of text to continue the great potential of culture. At this time, a variety of shapes. Can be a paper, essay, thesis, dissertation, scholarly journals, books, magazines, and so forth.

1. Writing history

If you read the history books, we can see the economic situation, social, political, cultural, including the effect of a specific period in the middle of a certain tribe. Not simply describe, writing history can be considered complete historical objects other.
2. Writing culture

Different from the historical writings, writings specifically explain cultural culture community. Thus, the posts are not focused on the explanation of the background social-political environment a particular community. However, it is not offensive does not mean that these aspects at all. Writing like this, for example, posts the order to reveal the wedding, an explanation of symbols customary, will inherit these things to the next generation.
3. News coverage

Some of the mass media to give special cultural fields. Articles of a culture that is presented in the field is one of the means to inform at once to open the eyes of a cultural community with regard to the region. Some even raise the culture is almost extinct with the call to preserve cultural.
4. Works of literature

Not a few works of literature, the cultural phenomena as part of his work. Only a paper Korrie Layun Rampan, “Fire, Cloud, Smoke” that the Dayak culture Benuaq.
5. Writing time

Era blog currently allows anyone to participate in culture through the hand writing. With blogs, everyone can read and even respond directly (compare with the diary is a more exclusive). Writings can be a reflection or the exposure, depending penyajiannya.

Try to compare the types of any posts on the books in the Old Testament and New Testament. You will surely find the cultural property in any posts in the various types and there, more than that, the word of God.

Transfer CULTURE THROUGH TEXT

Through cultural inheritance may be spelled out any posts that are not easy things. Moreover, when BASED on accuracy. Data and the meaning in it of course must be applicable as appropriate to the cultural community who want disclosed. Therefore, the following steps need to be.

1. Preliminary investigation

Selidiki culture diekspos the most rare in the media. Even if a culture was quite general, try cermati other aspects of culture, which seemed uncertain. Things that will be the minimal aspects that are important for disclosed. May dikata, the cultural aspect that is rarely raised, the more it needs to be appointed so that the part, although it is not practiced anymore, will still be learned as part of a cultural community.
2. Research

After finding a hidden aspect – say so – of a certain culture, do research or research more. Research can be done with regard to investigating the setuntas may be related to culture. However, we need to looking at these things:
1. cultural background related;
2. cultural aspects of the most widely known;
3. the community past and the present time;
4. heritage-cultural heritage;
5. of cultural actors.

Fourth it will be much less build a bridge to the cultural aspects of the rare diekspos. As the fragment pairs apart, we need to become a menjalinnya integrity in writing.
3. Test results

Tests can be done to meet again with the actors of culture, in this case the elders. Less, they are a source of reliable information to ensure the return of our research, if indeed true that our culture says any posts on it really fit with the facts or not. This is most appropriate when we want to present the words that are comprehensive. However, it does not mean irrelevant when applied to any posts that really only the cultural aspects of existence.
4. Withdrawal knot

When you have gained through the certainty of the test, provide a resume that’s clear so that everyone can understand.

Of course you do not have any posts mold scientific length only to settle things. In fact, we can utilize various types of any posts according to our ability to do pentransferan culture, including fiction. The steps above may tend to lead to scientific research. However, it is not impossible to apply in writing fiction. Because scientific sistematika often help a fiction author to appear meruntun sajiannya so captivating.

TEXT OF THE POPULAR

There is a tendency to eliminate popular writings as text only entertainment value only. Writings such as novels picisan considered as waste and not as works of literature are considered.

However, works of popular merebak the latter, only a novel-novel “chicklit” and “teenlit”, so should not only diacuhkan. Bobotnya may be far less work rather than other literature. However, the writings of the age such a phenomenon that can not be denied.

Popular works can also be seen as the embodiment of culture in this period. Try to compare the life of just teenagers at the time of lupus (Hilman paper) with the life style of teenagers “chicklit” and “teenlit”. Each still reflect on zamannya youth culture, popular culture.

Task SIAPA?

Finally, we should recognize our role as people believe. That through the write-write, the Gospel message can be, we can not mungkiri. Even as we have known the Kristuslah then we are obliged to continue the culture that produced in the Jovian generasinya. This means that the positive things that encourage the next generation to grow, need to be submitted. And writing is one way.

Israel in the Old Testament was to teach the truth the word of God contained in the law – something that can be said to be entrenched in the framework of living of the people of Israel – to the generation-generation below them (Deuteronomy 31:19). While the succession of the apostles with utter truth and ink pen with a good cause, so that each person know Christ and receive eternal life (1Yoh. 5:13).

Through any posts, we can (and should have) voice of truth says the Lord. No matter if you prefer to write fiction. Robert L. Short (1974: 13) once wrote that art (including works of fiction writing, literature) has the ability to conquer intellectual and emotional prejudices of men. Because that is not direct, inheriting the tradition of Christian fiction through the majestic can also become a means of outreach. And it is our duty to transmit culture to the Christian life the next generation.

Bagaimana Anda dapat mengetahui berbagai peristiwa yang terjadi bertahun-tahun lalu atau ratusan tahun lampau? Buku sejarah mungkin menjadi jawaban Anda. Tidak salah memang karena buku-buku sejarah banyak mengisahkan apa yang terjadi, jauh sebelum zaman informasi ini. Belum lagi revolusi mesin cetak dan internet yang memungkinkan informasi masa lalu terekam dengan baik. Meski literatur saat ini bisa dibilang komplit dan beragam, sejarah masa lalu umat manusia tidak seketika itu juga dihadirkan lewat buku-buku maupun perangkat digital yang saat ini tersedia. Sebab budaya tulisan bukanlah budaya manusia yang tertua. Sebaliknya, budaya lisan jauh lebih tua daripada budaya tulisan. Kelompok-kelompok masyarakat tertentu bahkan masih mempertahankan budaya lisan ini. Sebelum era tulisan, pengalihan tradisi dari generasi ke generasi dilakukan secara lisan. Para leluhur akan bertutur kepada anak-cucunya, menyampaikan kisah-kisah moral, termasuk berbagai pengajaran. Metode ini masih bisa ditemukan pada sejumlah suku bangsa. Hanya saja, metode lisan memiliki sejumlah kelemahan. Kelemahan yang utama ialah tidak banyak orang yang bisa mengingat apa yang disampaikan pendahulunya setepat yang dikemukakan padanya. Sedikit banyak, tentu ada saja yang tidak tersampaikan. Belum lagi kemungkinan untuk menambah maupun mengurangi secara sadar cukup terbuka. Meski demikian, manusia tidak langsung mengenal sistem tulisan dengan alfabet seperti kita saat ini. Sebelumnya, dikenal piktogram, yaitu aksara berupa gambar untuk mengungkapkan amanat tertentu. Tradisi ini sangat tua usianya. Masa-masa awal penggunaan piktogram ini diperkirakan di Mesopotamia oleh bangsa Sumeria Kuno. Manusia diperkirakan mulai memasuki masa aksara sekitar 3000 SM. Aksara pertama disebut-sebut pertama kali melalui tiga kebudayaan besar: bangsa Sumeria di Mesopotamia dengan huruf pakunya, masyarakat lembah Sungai Nil di Mesir dengan hieroglifnya, dan masyarakat Han di lembah Sungai Kuning dengan aksara han (Kridalaksana dan Sutami 2005). Revolusi tulisan baru terjadi ketika Gutenberg menemukan mesin cetak di Eropa. Buku-buku yang dulunya memerlukan waktu bertahun-tahun untuk menyalinnya, kini dapat dihadirkan dengan lebih cepat. Sampai Martin Luther pun menyebutkan bahwa mesin cetak merupakan salah satu anugerah terbesar Tuhan selain keselamatan (Pranata 2002). Hal ini tentu memungkinkan penyebaran literatur dengan lebih cepat. Teknologi saat ini malah telah memungkinkan dihasilkannya ribuan eksemplar dalam waktu yang lebih singkat. MEMBEKUKAN WAKTU, MEWARISKAN BUDAYA Kegiatan menulis sebenarnya bisa dianggap sebagai kegiatan membekukan waktu. Konteks yang ada di sekitarnya pun turut terekam di dalamnya. Hal ini jelas terasa, misalnya dalam buku-buku biografi, sejauh buku tersebut dituliskan secara jujur. Sebab informasi yang dituangkan dalam tulisan tersebut menjadi rekaman sepanjang masa. Rekaman itu malah relatif lebih awet mengingat revolusi digital yang terjadi. Pada dasarnya, sejumlah konteks dapat terekam bersama dengan tulisan, sejauh konteks-konteks tersebut (waktu, tempat, budaya) disertakan; eksplisit maupun implisit. Ketika tulisan itu dibaca kembali, nuansa yang tercakup di dalamnya sedikit banyak akan dapat ditangkap. Dengan demikian, gambaran keadaan (dan dengan demikian budaya) di sekitar penulisan bisa dirasakan pula. Alkitab merupakan wujud keberhasilan pembekuan berbagai konteks tersebut. Para penulisnya dengan sangat baik menangkap dan merepresentasikan nuansa pada masanya — sesuatu yang kita imani sebagai tuntunan Roh Kudus. Tidak mengherankan bila kita senantiasa diingatkan atau dituntut untuk memerhatikan konteks tertentu ketika hendak membahas suatu ayat agar tidak keliru menafsirkan bagian itu. Ketika tulisan itu lebih difokuskan pada aspek budaya, aspek-aspek yang diangkat (bila diungkapkan dengan cara yang baik) dapat dinikmati, seakan-akan langsung hadir di hadapan pembacanya. Dengan demikian, budaya yang diwariskan pun akan lebih hidup. Apalagi bila dilengkapi dengan ilustrasi-ilustrasi, gambar-gambar, atau foto-foto. Media massa tercetak dan situs web memungkinkan hal ini. Ada beberapa jenis tulisan yang berpotensi besar untuk meneruskan kebudayaan. Pada saat ini, bentuknya bermacam-macam. Bisa berupa makalah, skripsi, tesis, disertasi, jurnal ilmiah, buku, majalah, dan sebagainya. 1. Tulisan sejarah Kalau mencermati buku-buku sejarah, kita bisa melihat situasi ekonomi, sosial, politik, termasuk kebudayaan yang berlaku pada suatu periode di tengah suku bangsa tertentu. Tidak sekadar menggambarkan, tulisan sejarah bisa dianggap melengkapi benda-benda historis lainnya. 2. Tulisan budaya Berbeda dengan tulisan-tulisan sejarah, tulisan-tulisan budaya secara khusus menjelaskan kebudayaan komunitas tertentu. Jadi, tulisan-tulisan ini tidak difokuskan pada penjelasan latar sosial-politik lingkungan masyarakat tertentu. Namun, bukan berarti tidak menyinggung aspek tersebut sama sekali. Tulisan seperti ini, misalnya, tulisan-tulisan yang mengungkapkan tata pernikahan, penjelasan simbol-simbol adat, akan mewariskan hal-hal tersebut kepada generasi berikutnya. 3. Liputan berita Beberapa media massa memberikan kolom khusus budaya. Artikel-artikel budaya yang disajikan pada kolom tersebut merupakan salah satu sarana untuk menginformasikan sekaligus membuka mata masyarakat perihal budaya suatu daerah. Beberapa bahkan mengangkat kebudayaan yang hampir punah dengan ajakan untuk memelihara budaya tersebut. 4. Karya-karya sastra Tidak sedikit karya sastra yang mengangkat fenomena budaya sebagai bagian dari karyanya. Sebut saja karya Korrie Layun Rampan, “Api, Awan, Asap” yang mengangkat budaya Dayak Benuaq. 5. Tulisan pribadi Era blog saat ini memungkinkan siapa saja untuk berpartisipasi dalam mewariskan budayanya lewat tulisan. Dengan blog, setiap orang bisa membaca, bahkan merespons secara langsung (bandingkan dengan buku harian yang lebih eksklusif sifatnya). Tulisannya bisa berupa pemaparan atau refleksi, tergantung penyajiannya. Cobalah bandingkan jenis-jenis tulisan di atas dengan kitab-kitab pada Perjanjian Lama maupun Perjanjian Baru. Pastilah Anda akan menemukan kekayaan budaya dalam beragam jenis tulisan di sana dan, lebih daripada itu, firman Allah. MENTRANSFER BUDAYA LEWAT TULISAN Pewarisan budaya lewat tulisan boleh dibilang bukan perkara yang mudah. Apalagi bila berpatokan pada akurasi. Data dan makna yang terkandung di dalamnya tentu harus tepat sebagaimana yang berlaku pada masyarakat yang budayanya hendak diungkapkan. Oleh karena itu, langkah-langkah berikut perlu diperhatikan. 1. Penyelidikan awal Selidiki budaya yang paling jarang diekspos di media. Kalaupun suatu budaya cukup umum diangkat, coba cermati aspek lain dari budaya tersebut yang terkesan samar. Hal-hal yang minim itu akan menjadi aspek yang penting untuk diungkapkan. Boleh dikata, semakin jarang aspek budaya itu diangkat, semakin perlu ia diangkat sehingga bagian tersebut, meski sudah tidak dipraktikkan lagi, akan tetap dipelajari sebagai bagian budaya masyarakat tertentu. 2. Melakukan riset Setelah menemukan aspek tersembunyi — katakanlah demikian — dari budaya tertentu, lakukanlah riset atau penelitian lebih dalam lagi. Penelitian dapat dilakukan dengan menyelidiki setuntas mungkin perihal budaya terkait. Namun, kita perlu memerhatikan hal-hal ini: 1. latar belakang budaya masyarakat terkait; 2. aspek budaya yang paling banyak dikenal; 3. situasi masyarakat masa lalu dan masa kini; 4. peninggalan-peninggalan budaya; 5. penelusuran pelaku-pelaku budaya. Keempat hal tersebut sedikit banyak akan membangun jembatan kepada aspek budaya yang jarang diekspos. Seperti kepingan bongkar pasang, kita perlu menjalinnya menjadi suatu keutuhan dalam bentuk tulisan. 3. Menguji hasil penelitian Pengujian dapat dilakukan dengan kembali menemui pelaku-pelaku budaya, dalam hal ini para sesepuh. Sedikit banyak, mereka itulah yang menjadi sumber informasi terpercaya untuk meyakinkan kembali hasil penelitian kita; apakah memang benar budaya yang kita ungkap lewat tulisan itu benar-benar sesuai dengan fakta atau tidak. Hal ini memang paling cocok bila kita hendak menyajikan tulisan yang bersifat menyeluruh. Namun, bukan berarti tidak relevan bila diterapkan pada tulisan yang memang hanya bersifat mempertanyakan eksistensi aspek budaya tersebut. 4. Penarikan simpulan Bila telah mendapatkan kepastian melalui pengujian, berikan simpulan yang jelas sehingga setiap orang dapat memahaminya. Tentu saja Anda tidak harus menuangkan tulisan ilmiah panjang lebar hanya untuk mewariskan sesuatu. Faktanya, kita dapat memanfaatkan beragam jenis tulisan sesuai kemampuan kita untuk melakukan pentransferan budaya tersebut, termasuk fiksi. Langkah-langkah di atas mungkin cenderung mengarah kepada penelitian ilmiah. Namun, bukan mustahil untuk diterapkan pada penulisan fiksi. Karena sering kali sistematika ilmiah membantu seorang penulis fiksi untuk meruntun sajiannya sehingga tampil menawan. TENTANG TULISAN POPULER Memang ada kecenderungan untuk menyisihkan tulisan-tulisan populer sebagai tulisan yang hanya bernilai hiburan semata. Tulisan-tulisan seperti novel-novel picisan dinilai sebagai sampah dan tidak layak dianggap sebagai karya sastra. Akan tetapi, karya-karya populer yang belakangan merebak, sebut saja novel-novel “chicklit” dan “teenlit”, sebaiknya jangan begitu saja diacuhkan. Mungkin bobotnya kalah jauh ketimbang karya-karya sastra lain. Namun, tulisan-tulisan demikian merupakan fenomena zaman yang tidak dapat dimungkiri. Karya-karya populer juga bisa dianggap sebagai perwujudan budaya masyarakat pada masa tersebut. Coba saja bandingkan kehidupan anak remaja pada zaman Lupus (karya Hilman) itu dengan kehidupan remaja gaya “chicklit” dan “teenlit”. Masing-masing tetap mencerminkan budaya remaja pada zamannya, budaya populer. TUGAS SIAPA? Akhirnya, kita patut menyadari peran kita sebagai orang percaya. Bahwa melalui dunia tulis-menulis, pesan Injil dapat diberitakan, tidaklah dapat kita mungkiri. Bahkan karena kita telah mengenal Kristuslah maka kita berkewajiban untuk melanjutkan budaya luhur yang dihasilkan pada generasinya. Ini tentu berarti hal-hal positif yang kelak mendorong generasi berikutnya untuk berkembang, perlu disampaikan. Dan tulisan adalah salah satu caranya. Bangsa Israel pada masa Perjanjian Lama diperintahkan untuk mengajarkan kebenaran firman Allah yang terkandung dalam Taurat — sesuatu yang bisa dikatakan membudaya dalam tatanan hidup orang Israel — kepada generasi-generasi di bawah mereka (Ulangan 31:19). Sementara para rasul turut menyuarakan kebenaran itu dengan tinta dan pena dengan tujuan mulia, agar setiap orang mengenal Kristus dan beroleh hidup yang kekal (1Yoh. 5:13). Melalui tulisan, kita pun dapat (dan sudah seharusnya) menyuarakan kebenaran firman Tuhan. Tidak masalah kalau Anda lebih senang menulis fiksi. Robert L. Short (1974: 13) pernah menulis bahwa seni (termasuk karya tulis fiksi; sastra) memiliki kemampuan untuk menaklukkan intelektual dan prasangka emosional manusia. Karena sifatnya yang tidak langsung, pewarisan tradisi Kristen yang agung melalui fiksi dapat menjadi sarana penjangkauan pula. Dan sudah tugas kita untuk mewariskan budaya hidup Kristen kepada generasi berikutnya. Tidakkah Anda terbeban?//
You can see how the various events that occurred many years ago or a hundred years past? History books may be your answer. Not one of the books because a lot of history relate what is happening, long before the era of this information. Not to mention the revolution in printing machine and the Internet that allows information recorded in time with both.

Although the literature at this time can be spelled out and complete variety, past history of mankind is not a crack are presented through the books and digital devices that are currently available. For the culture of any posts is not the oldest human culture. Conversely, the oral culture much older than the culture of writing. Community groups and even some still retain this oral culture.

Before the era of any posts, of the tradition from generation to generation is done verbally. Akan bertutur the ancestor to the child-grandchildren, convey moral stories, including a variety of teaching. This method can still be found on a number of tribes.

However, the oral method has a number of weaknesses. The main weakness is that not many people can remember what the preceding setepat was raised on it. Slightly more, of course that does not have tersampaikan. Not to mention the possibility to increase or reduce the open-conscious enough.

However, people do not immediately recognize any posts with the alphabetical system such as we at this time. Previously, known piktogram, the script is an image to reveal a specific mandate. This tradition is very old age. Times the initial estimated piktogram this in Mesopotamia by the ancient Sumerian.

Humans begin to enter the period is estimated around 3000 BC characters. Aksara first is called a first-time through three major cultures: Sumerian nation in Mesopotamia with the letter pakunya, community Nile River valley in Egypt with hieroglifnya, and Han people in the Yellow River valley with the characters han (Kridalaksana and Sutami 2005).

Revolution occurs when any posts new found Gutenberg printing press in Europe. The books used to take many years to copy them, are now able to more quickly. Until Martin Luther also said that printing is one of the biggest gift of God than safety (regulation 2002). This allows the distribution of literature with more quickly. Even when this technology has enabled dihasilkannya thousands of copies in a shorter time.

TIME freeze, hand CULTURE

Writing activities can be considered as the actual winter time activities. Context of the surrounding areas are recorded in succession. This is clearly felt, for example, in books biography, so far as the book written honestly. For the information written down in any posts is recorded throughout the period. The recording is in fact relatively more durable because the digital revolution is happening.

Basically, a number of contexts can be recorded along with any posts, as far as the context-context (time, place, culture) are included; explicit or implicit. When any posts that read back, feel included in it will be much less arrested. Thus, the description of the situation (and thus culture) in the vicinity of the writing can be felt as well.

The Bible is a form of success in the context of various freezing. The author is very good with the capture and represent the feel of the era – something that we as religious guidance of the Holy Spirit. Not surprising when we’re reminded or prosecuted for a particular context when looking at the want of a clause in order not to erroneously interpret the section.

When any posts that are focused more on cultural aspects, aspects of which was (when expressed in a way that’s good) can be enjoyed, as it were, will be present directly in front of readers. Thus, the inherited culture of life will be better. Especially when equipped with the illustration, illustrations, pictures, or photos. Printed media and web site allows this.

There are several types of text to continue the great potential of culture. At this time, a variety of shapes. Can be a paper, essay, thesis, dissertation, scholarly journals, books, magazines, and so forth.

1. Writing history

If you read the history books, we can see the economic situation, social, political, cultural, including the effect of a specific period in the middle of a certain tribe. Not simply describe, writing history can be considered complete historical objects other.
2. Writing culture

Different from the historical writings, writings specifically explain cultural culture community. Thus, the posts are not focused on the explanation of the background social-political environment a particular community. However, it is not offensive does not mean that these aspects at all. Writing like this, for example, posts the order to reveal the wedding, an explanation of symbols customary, will inherit these things to the next generation.
3. News coverage

Some of the mass media to give special cultural fields. Articles of a culture that is presented in the field is one of the means to inform at once to open the eyes of a cultural community with regard to the region. Some even raise the culture is almost extinct with the call to preserve cultural.
4. Works of literature

Not a few works of literature, the cultural phenomena as part of his work. Only a paper Korrie Layun Rampan, “Fire, Cloud, Smoke” that the Dayak culture Benuaq.
5. Writing time

Era blog currently allows anyone to participate in culture through the hand writing. With blogs, everyone can read and even respond directly (compare with the diary is a more exclusive). Writings can be a reflection or the exposure, depending penyajiannya.

Try to compare the types of any posts on the books in the Old Testament and New Testament. You will surely find the cultural property in any posts in the various types and there, more than that, the word of God.

Transfer CULTURE THROUGH TEXT

Through cultural inheritance may be spelled out any posts that are not easy things. Moreover, when BASED on accuracy. Data and the meaning in it of course must be applicable as appropriate to the cultural community who want disclosed. Therefore, the following steps need to be.

1. Preliminary investigation

Selidiki culture diekspos the most rare in the media. Even if a culture was quite general, try cermati other aspects of culture, which seemed uncertain. Things that will be the minimal aspects that are important for disclosed. May dikata, the cultural aspect that is rarely raised, the more it needs to be appointed so that the part, although it is not practiced anymore, will still be learned as part of a cultural community.
2. Research

After finding a hidden aspect – say so – of a certain culture, do research or research more. Research can be done with regard to investigating the setuntas may be related to culture. However, we need to looking at these things:
1. cultural background related;
2. cultural aspects of the most widely known;
3. the community past and the present time;
4. heritage-cultural heritage;
5. of cultural actors.

Fourth it will be much less build a bridge to the cultural aspects of the rare diekspos. As the fragment pairs apart, we need to become a menjalinnya integrity in writing.
3. Test results

Tests can be done to meet again with the actors of culture, in this case the elders. Less, they are a source of reliable information to ensure the return of our research, if indeed true that our culture says any posts on it really fit with the facts or not. This is most appropriate when we want to present the words that are comprehensive. However, it does not mean irrelevant when applied to any posts that really only the cultural aspects of existence.
4. Withdrawal knot

When you have gained through the certainty of the test, provide a resume that’s clear so that everyone can understand.

Of course you do not have any posts mold scientific length only to settle things. In fact, we can utilize various types of any posts according to our ability to do pentransferan culture, including fiction. The steps above may tend to lead to scientific research. However, it is not impossible to apply in writing fiction. Because scientific sistematika often help a fiction author to appear meruntun sajiannya so captivating.

TEXT OF THE POPULAR

There is a tendency to eliminate popular writings as text only entertainment value only. Writings such as novels picisan considered as waste and not as works of literature are considered.

However, works of popular merebak the latter, only a novel-novel “chicklit” and “teenlit”, so should not only diacuhkan. Bobotnya may be far less work rather than other literature. However, the writings of the age such a phenomenon that can not be denied.

Popular works can also be seen as the embodiment of culture in this period. Try to compare the life of just teenagers at the time of lupus (Hilman paper) with the life style of teenagers “chicklit” and “teenlit”. Each still reflect on zamannya youth culture, popular culture.

Task SIAPA?

Finally, we should recognize our role as people believe. That through the write-write, the Gospel message can be, we can not mungkiri. Even as we have known the Kristuslah then we are obliged to continue the culture that produced in the Jovian generasinya. This means that the positive things that encourage the next generation to grow, need to be submitted. And writing is one way.

Israel in the Old Testament was to teach the truth the word of God contained in the law – something that can be said to be entrenched in the framework of living of the people of Israel – to the generation-generation below them (Deuteronomy 31:19). While the succession of the apostles with utter truth and ink pen with a good cause, so that each person know Christ and receive eternal life (1Yoh. 5:13).

Through any posts, we can (and should have) voice of truth says the Lord. No matter if you prefer to write fiction. Robert L. Short (1974: 13) once wrote that art (including works of fiction writing, literature) has the ability to conquer intellectual and emotional prejudices of men. Because that is not direct, inheriting the tradition of Christian fiction through the majestic can also become a means of outreach. And it is our duty to transmit culture to the Christian life the next generation.
