New Vocabulries:



Another etiquette of Indonesians is using the right hand, whether to shake hands or pay money. This tradition originates from Muslim customs. Slight bows are usually given to guests, elders, or more respected people. Some Indonesians, mostly Muslims, also touch their heart area lightly after handshaking. Indonesians do not have the habit of explicit confrontations, they mostly avoid conflict or tend to settle one in a well-mannered way.



Cyberbullying or cyber harassment is a threat or attack carried out through electronic messages as the media. Bullying usually occurs only in the real world, but it also occurs now in cyberspace. Cyberbullying is a new event because of the development of communication technology. Nowadays, it is interpreted as a hurtful act that is done intentionally through the computers, cellular and other electronic devices and those who are bullied cannot defend themselves.



However, a weakness common among Indonesians is their bad punctuality, we even have an Indonesian term for it: jam karet (rubber watch). Another striking feature of Indonesian etiquette is that opposite sexes, especially in more rural traditional areas, rarely display their affection publicly.



Why can this occur? Cyberbullying is done by sending comments that contain hatred on blogs, social media, e-mail, and posts in order to insult others. This can lead to reduced self-confidence of someone which leads to anxiety, and depression. Cyberbullying is a crime that must be avoided. This is a psychological threat for individuals. For those reason, mental preparation and regulating emotions are needed when using internet.



Title : Etiket (Indonesian Etiquette) Etiquette is a great deal for Indonesians. However, in crowded places like bus rides, roads during rush hour, and public shows like sports matches, Indonesians might strike as having bad etiquette for pushing and shoving around. In marketplaces, Indonesians have the habit of bargaining too much. Women and foreigners might experience being catcalled by Indonesians. However, this does not purely mean etiquette doesn’t exist in Indonesia. In Indonesian homes, there are humorous banters and lots of laughter. People have the habit of sitting properly with their feet on the floor, with legs uncrossed, while senior guests are allowed for better seating. Guests are always treated well in a polite manner, and drinks and snacks are usually served after a



short while to be enjoyed by the guest. In meals, people also eat politely, without showing greed or gluttony, and hosts usually asks pardon if not able to serve a bountiful of meals.
