Media Breaks Bahasa Indonesia Value
Mass media is the media that deliver data or information either visual and audio to people or public. Nowadays there are many mass media that we easily to find, like ; TV, magazine, newspaper, and internet. All these media can deliver any message that they want. Mostly they’re income from the viewer, readers and ads.
How they could
break Bahasa Indonesia value?
Mass media
concern is the efficiency of delivering the message. So they will use people daily language than
use the proper language that sometimes it’s hard to understand for example
“lebay”. Lebay is one of Indonesian
daily languages which means melebih –
lebihkan or overact. This word is often to use in a comedy’s program of TV.
There are also some word that not proper and use often in TV. In other case
magazine is same with TV especially for a specified magazine like teenage
magazine. It also use the teenage daily language which more attractive to them
than the proper language.
Even our daily
languages are not come from mass media but it wider and oftener to use than
before. Maybe is not seems too bad like something disaster but if this happen
frequently people will prefer to use that than the proper language. So mass
media affect our daily language.
But is not only
about breaks the value, it also lose our culture. Bahasa Indonesia is one of
Indonesia culture. For instance, people will prefer use word download than unduh; Upload than unggah; smartphone than telepon
pintar. It seems like we losing our culture. Our language was made to
strength our culture. It’s also to show the identity that we are Indonesian
Solution
In this
conversation the solution are direct to our government. The government should
authorize mass media to use the proper language on their media. If the proper
language become the common language people will easily to understand and the
message delivering issue is fixed.
But is not for
the government, we as the users of language should prefer use the proper
language that listed in KBBI. Than it will increase our culture and show that
we are real Indonesian
