FOREWORD:
Indonesia's national motto espouses "unity in diversity" with good

actually Indonesian people is living in east, mostly the character of the people
is shy, that’s way the way they are talking is little bit complicated, it looks like

But in fact the typical of people high context is more tolerant, they always
respect where the place that they are grow up, that’s mean the relationship
between these person is un -fragile -able. Because since they are child, they
often use their sense of their feeling, because actually there is always a
message by unspoken word.

his speech, he will talk shortly and believe the audience knew already what he
is saying, and it is not necessary to talk more detail.
