Speak Out !!!

Bangsa Indonesia adalah bangsa besar yang mempunyai Budaya Adiluhung.

Sebelum kita bicara tentang Budaya Adiluhung, marilah kita bersama-sama menelaah tentang defisini Humanity dan Altruism, karena Budaya Adiluhung merupakan salah satu produk budaya daripada Manusia yang mempunyai kodrat humanity dan altruism

Humanity :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanity

Humanity or mankind is the human species, human nature (e.g.compassion, altruism) and the human condition (the totality of experience of existing as a human). It is also the study of one branch of the humanities, academic disciplines which study the human condition using analytic, critical, or speculative methods.

Human Nature :

Alam manusia adalah konsep bahwa ada kumpulan sifat logis, termasuk cara berpikir, merasa dan bertindak, manusia itu yang 'normal' sama sekali beings mempunyai di biasa. [1] cabang ilmu pengetahuan yang dihubungkan dengan penelitian alam manusia termasuk sosiologi, sociobiology dan psikologi, psikologi benar-benar evolusioner dan psikologi pertumbuhan. Filsuf dan teolog juga sudah melakukan penelitian di atas alam manusia.



Altruism :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altruism

Altruism is selfless concern for the welfare of others. It is a traditional virtue in many cultures, and central to many religious traditions. This idea was often described as the Golden rule of ethics. Altruism is the opposite of selfishness.
Altruism can be distinguished from feelings of loyalty and duty. Altruism focuses on a motivation to help others or a want to do good without reward, while duty focuses on a moral obligation towards a specific individual (for example, God, a king), a specific organization (for example, a government), or an abstract concept (for example, patriotism etc). Some individuals may feel both altruism and duty, while others may not. Pure altruism is giving without regard to reward or the benefits of recognition.
The concept has a long history in philosophical and ethical thought, and has more recently become a topic for psychologists (especially evolutionary psychology researchers), sociologists, evolutionary biologists, and ethologists. While ideas about altruism from one field can have an impact on the other fields, the different methods and focuses of these fields lead to different perspectives on altruism. Researches on altruism were sparked in particular after the murder of Kitty Genovese in 1964,[1] who was stabbed during half an hour, with passive witnesses withholding themselves from helping her.

Terjemahan :

Altruism adalah keprihatinan yang tak mementingkan diri sendiri untuk kesejahteraan orang lain. Adalah kebaikan tradisional di banyak kebudayaan, dan sebagai pusat di banyak tradisi agama. Gagasan ini sering digambarkan sebagai peraturan Keemasan etika. Altruisme adalah lawan selfishness / mementingkan diri sendiri.

Riset / research.
Banyak sekali riset tentang Altruism / altruisme, baik di Amerika maupun di Eropa pada saat ini, hal ini membuat saya heran, karena apa ?, sebelum bangsa Amerika dan Eropa melakukan riset dan penelitian tentang Altruisme, ternyata bangsa Indonesia telah mempraktekkan altruisme tersebut berabad-abad yang lalu, baik dalam wujud atau bentuk semangat gotong-royong, tolong menolong, silaturahmi dll. Hm, luar biasa dan sangat ilmiah sekali masyarakat Indonesia tersebut.

Compassion :

Compassion is a profound human emotion prompted by the pain of others. More vigorous than empathy, the feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another's suffering. It is often, though not inevitably, the key component in what manifests in the social context as altruism. In ethical terms, the various expressions down the ages of the so-called Golden Rule embody by implication the principle of compassion: Do to others as you would have done to you. Ranked a great virtue in numerous philosophies, compassion is considered in all the major religious traditions as among the greatest of virtues.
