Pentingnya penguatan pendidikan budaya bagi masyarakat urban di era modern
Abstract
Rapid technological developments, urbanization, and globalization in the contemporary era have fundamentally changed the lifestyles of urban residents. Despite increasingly easy access to information and the dominance of global culture, city dwellers face serious problems such as the fading of local traditional values, a fragility of nationalism, and the rise of individualistic and consumerist behavior. This article aims to discuss the need to strengthen cultural education for urban communities as a tactical step to preserve traditional roots while building a competitive community character. Using qualitative methods based on literature review, this article reveals that cultural education has a crucial function in: (1) fostering local wisdom values in the modern era, (2) strengthening social ties within a diverse society, (3) fostering a sense of belonging and pride in ancestral heritage, and (4) achieving a balance between technological sophistication and the preservation of human values. Strengthening cultural education is not only relevant, but has become a necessity to be integrated into various aspects of urban residents' lives, whether through formal, non-formal, or informal education. In this way, an urban society that is technologically advanced and culturally rooted can be created, so that they are able to face the challenges of the times without losing their national identity.
