Pewarisan Nilai-Nilai Kearifan Lokal Untuk Memproteksi Masyarakat Bali Dari Dampak Kemajuan Teknologi

Abstract

The importance of maintaining local wisdom for Balinese people in order to face
various negative impacts of social changes brought about by .Technology The symptom, which
is basically felt by the Balinese today, is the fundamental socio-cultural change. The acceleration
of the information coming along with the wave of technology has been significantly experienced
by the Balinese, both at the level of the “surface structure” (the attitudes and the pattern of behavior) and at the level of the “deep structure” (the value system, the life view, the philosophy,
and the belief). The change is due to the culture contacts between countries in which there are
dialectic fight between the contemporary values and those of the traditional where one tries to
take the domination of another. Here, the hegemony and the neoliberal views are possibly
coming and breaking all the aspects of life, including the values of the local culture ever obeyed
firmly by the Balinese society. This condition leads to a spit and uncertain values situation
because the people give more attention and respect to the modern values and marginalize
the transcendental values. This is resulting in various violations of the moral values reflected by
the feature, the style, and the life pattern of the society to occur. Therefore, reinforcement and
inheritance of Balineselocal wisdom have to be conducted intensively to the Balinese younger
generation.
