Description

The purpose of this study was to see the role of culture in community life, including in the effort
to build the character of teenager. This role can be achieved if the seven cultural elements are: religious systems
and religious ceremonies, community organization systems, knowledge systems, languages, arts, livelihood
systems, and technology and equipment systems, most or all of which are still alive, maintained, developing,
and still beneficial for the life of a community. If the opposite happens, that is, most or maybe all elements of
culture are not alive, not growing and not developing, not properly maintained, then surely it can cause a
cultural crisis for a community. Characteristics of a cultural crisis include low legal values, low courtesy norms,
lost moral values, and low social ethics. In such circumstances, human culture becomes very low. Honesty is
gone, greed is running rampant. Loyalty is gone, lies are raising. There is no mutual respect for fellow human
beings, only egoism as feels the truest, strongest, wants to win, and no one else can compete. This has led to
various violations, greed in the form of corruption, abuse of authority, and similar acts. This is clear when
connected with the life of the nation and state (Indonesia) the sense of brotherhood fades, a sense of national
unity fades, and a fading nationalist sense can even be a threat to national disintegration.
