Globalization, Local Community Culture, and the Role of Government

This article is the study of literature, which describe the change of the local community due to the global situation. Globalization can be defined as a process that spread institutional features of modernity, which can bring a huge impact on the life and identity of the community. Changes could lead to displacement of local culture by global culture, global and local cultures coexist without significant unification between the two (coexistence), local and global culture are synthesized, and a global culture rejected by a strong local culture. The study concludes that more local culture shifted and raises identity conflicts, thus strengthening-reinforcement is needed. The government must intervene policies to encourage significant strengthening. Keywords: changes in the community, local culture shifted, government policy intervention
