I'd like to discuss and tell you about culture of Turkey. Actually, I choose Turkey is because Turkey has so many attractiveness, in my opinion. So that's why I really love the culture.
The culture of Turkey combines a diverse and heterogeneous set of elements that have been derived from the various cultures of the Eastern Mediterranean (West Asian) region and to a lesser degree, Southeastern European, Caucasian, and Central Asian traditions. Many of these traditions were initially brought together by Ottoman Empire, a multi-ethnic and multi-religious state.
Turkish culture has undergone profound changes over the last century. Today, Turkey may be the only country that contains every extreme of Eastern and Western culture. The Ottoman system was a multi-ethnic state that enabled people within it not to mix with each other and thereby retain separate ethnic and religious identities within the empire. Upon the fall of the empire after World War I the Turkish republic adapted a unitary approach, which forced all the different cultures within its borders to mix each other with the aim of producing national and cultural identity. This mixing, instead of producing cultural homogenization, instead resulted in many shades of grey as the traditional Muslim cultures of Anatolia collided with the cosmopolitan modernity of Istanbul and the wider West.
Turkey's Language
The official language, Turkish, is the first language spoken by 90% of the 63 million population. Minority languages include Kurdish, spoken by 6% of the population. Arabic is spoken by 1.2% of the Turkish population, most of those speakers are bilingual Arabic and Turkish speakers. Other minority languages include Circassian, spoken by more than 0.09% throughout the country, Greek, Armenian and Judezmo, a Romance language spoken by Jews.
Turkish Most Religion Beliefs
Islam is the religion of the majority of Turks although the state is fiercely secular. Islam emanated from what is today Saudi Arabia. The Prophet Muhammad is seen as the last of God's emissaries (following in the footsteps of Jesus, Moses, Abraham, etc.) to bring revelation of mankind. He was distinguished with bringing a message of the whole of mankind, rather than just to a certain people. As Moses brought the Torah and Jesus brought the Bible, Muhammad brought the last book, the Qur'an. The Qur'an and the actions of the Prophet (the Sunnah) are used as the basis of all guidance in the religion.
Among certain obligations for Muslims are to pray five times a day - at dawn, noon, afternoon, sunset, and evening. The exact time is listed in the local newspaper or website or mobile app each day. Friday is the Muslim's holy day although this is not practiced in Turkey. However, most males will attend the congregational afternoon prayer or we usually called Friday pray. During the holy month of Ramadhan, all Muslims must fast or shaum in arabic from dawn to dusk. Fasting includes not eating, drinking, cigarette smoking, or gew chewing and everything that God forbids.
Marriage, Family, and Kinship
Marriage Turkish expect adults to marry and have children, and the vast majority do. Because men should not lower their wives' standard living, they are not supposed to marry women of a higher economic class. People generally marry within their own religious sect and ethnic group, although inter-ethnic marriages among Sunni Muslims are not uncommon. In traditional Turkish society, the selection of spouses and the marriage ceremony were controlled by kin groups. During the premarital process, the individuals to be married played minor roles. The rituals, especially the imam marriage ceremony, were essential for a morally and socially acceptable marriage.
In 1926, the revolutionary Turkish government abolished Islamic family law and adopted a slightly modified version of the family law in the Swiss civil code. The new Family Law requires and recognizes civil marriage ceremonies only. It requires the consent of mature individuals for a binding marriage contract and prescribes monogamy only. Even though the law prohibits parents from entering into engagement or marital agreements on behalf of their children, arranged marriages without the consent of the brides have been somewhat common. Today, the vast majority of marriages occur with the couple's consent, but families still play a role recommending and screening potential spouses, especially for their daughters.
Even though divorce is not considered an Islamic sin, it occurs infrequently. Divorcees, especially men with children, quickly remarry, usually to divorced women. The new code eliminated a husband's Islamic prerogative of verbal and unilateral divorce and prescribed a court proceeding. The law recognizes only six grounds for divorce, there are adultery, plot against life, grave assaults and insult, crime or a dishonorable life, desertion, mental infirmity, and incompatibility. The evidentiary requirements are so substantial that establishing one of these grounds has proved difficult. A couple cannot divorce by mutual consent.
Domestic Unit, Inheritance, and Kin Groups
Traditionally, most Turkish traced their descent and passed on property, especially homes and land, through the male line. Even though most households have always contained only one nuclear family, the ideal household, especially among the rural and urban wealthy was patrilocal extended, in which a son and his bride lived in his parents' home after marriage. The basic kinship units are the family (aile) and the household (hane). Household members normally eat together and share income and expenses. The next larger unit is the patrilineage (sulale), consisting of relatives connected inter-generationally by a common male ancestor. While patrilineage is important to old, noble Ottoman families and tribal peoples, it is of little significance to most Turkish.
The traditional Turkish household is characterized by male is the head, an authority figure who demands respect and obedience. The mother is also respected, but her relationship with her children is warm and informal.
The Sultan Ahmed Mosque or Sultan Ahmet Mosque is a historic mosque located in Istanbul, Turkey. A popular tourist site, the Sultan Ahmed Mosque continues to function as a mosque today; men still kneel in prayer on the mosque's lush red carpet after the call to prayer. The Blue Mosque, as it is popularly known, was constructed between 1609 and 1616 during the rule of Ahmed I. Magnificent hand-painted blue tiles adorn the mosque's interior walls, and at night the mosque is bathed in blue as lights frame the mosque's five domes, six minarets and eight secondary domes.
Hagia Sophia was a Greek Orthodox Christian church, later an imperial mosque, and now a museum in Istanbul, Turkey. From the date of its construction in 537 AD and until 1453, it served as an Orthodox cathedral and seat of the Patriarch of Constantinople, except between 1204 and 1261, when it was converted by the Fourth Crusaders to a Roman Catholic cathedral under the Latin Empire of Constantinople. The building was later converted into an Ottoman mosque from 29 May 1453 until 1931. It was then secularized and opened as a museum on 1 February 1935.
Menemen is a traditional turkish dish which includes eggs, tomato, green peppers, and spices such as ground black pepper, ground red pepper, salt and oregano, onion, garlic. It is cooked with olive oil or sunflower oil.
Kofta is a family of meatball or meatloaf dishes found in South Asian, Middle Eastern, Balkan, and Central Asian cuisine. In the simplest form, koftas consist of balls of minced or ground meat mixed with spices and/or onions. In South Asia and the Middle East, koftas are usually made from lamb, beef, mutton or chicken, whereas Greek, Cypriot, and Balkan versions may use pork, beef, lamb, or mixture of three. In India, vegetarian varieties include koftas made from potato, calabash, paneer, or banana. In Europe, kofta is served as fast food as a type of kebab.
Baklava is a rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey. It is also found in Central and West Asia.
Manti or Mantu are dumplings popular in most Turkish cuisines, as well as in the Caucasian, Central Asian, Chinese Islamic, and Hejaz cuisines. Nowadays, manti are also consumed throughout Russia and other post-Soviet countries, where the dish spread from the Central Asian republics. The dumplings typically consist of a spiced meat mixture, usually lamb or ground beef in a dough wrapper and either boiled or steamed.
Shish kebab is a Turkish dish of skewered and grilled cubes of meat. The term shish kebab has a history of over one hundred years in English. In American English, the word kebab refers to shish kebab, while in British English, kebab may also mean doner kebab or shawarma. In Middle Eastern cuisine however, kebab denotes a wide variety of different grilled meat dishes.
Turkish coffee is a method of preparing unfiltered coffee. Roasted and then finely ground coffee beans are simmered (not boiled) in a pot (cezve), optionally with sugar, and served in a cup where the grounds are allowed to settle. At present, it is found in Indonesia, Eastern Europe, North Africa, the Caucasus, the Balkans, and Middle East. Turkish coffee is an intangible cultural heritage of turkey confirmed by UNESCO.
Kali ini aku mau membahas mengenai pentingnya belajar Kepariwisataan dalam jurusan Sastra Inggris.
Pertama aku akan menjelaskan apa itu Sastra Inggris dan Kepariwisataan?
Kebanyakan dari universitas membagi fakultas ini menjadi beberapa jurusan. Ada jurusan Pendidikan Sastra Inggris dan Sastra Inggris. Untuk Pendidikan Sastra Inggris S1 (strata 1) kalian akan mendapat gelar S.Pd. (Sarjana Pendidikan), namun untuk Sastra Inggris sendiri kalian akan mendapatkan gelar S.S (Sarjana Sastra).
Apa saja yang dipelajari dalam Sastra Inggris? Well, sebenarnya kita belajar banyak sekali mata kuliah di Sastra Inggris ini. Dari mulai Basic English untuk tingkat pertama di universitas. Namun, tak jarang selain kita mempelajari semua mata kuliah English. Kita pun juga mempelajari mata kuliah penunjang lainnya, salah satu nya yaitu Kepariwisataan.
Sastra (Sanskerta: शास्त्र, shastra) merupakan kata serapan dari bahasa Sanskerta śāstra, yang berarti "teks yang mengandung instruksi" atau "pedoman", dari kata dasar śās- yang berarti "instruksi" atau "ajaran". Dalam bahasa Indonesia kata ini biasa digunakan untuk merujuk kepada "kesusastraan" atau sebuah jenis tulisan yang memiliki arti atau keindahan tertentu.
Yang agak bias adalah pemakaian istilah sastra dan sastrawi. Segmentasi sastra lebih mengacu sesuai defenisinya sebagai sekedar teks. Sedang sastrawi lebih mengarah pada sastra yang kental nuansa puitis atau abstraknya. Istilah sastrawan adalah salah satu contohnya, diartikan sebagai orang yang menggeluti sastrawi, bukan sastra.
Selain itu dalam arti kesusastraan, sastra bisa dibagi menjadi sastra tertulis atau sastra lisan (sastra oral). Di sini sastra tidak banyak berhubungan dengan tulisan, tetapi dengan bahasa yang dijadikan wahana untuk mengekspresikan pengalaman atau pemikiran tertentu.
Biasanya kesusastraan dibagi menurut daerah geografis atau bahasa.
Istilah pariwisata berasal dari bahasa Sansekerta yang terdiri dari suku kata “pari” berarti berkeliling atau bersama, dan suku kata “wisata” berarti perjalanan. Jadi secara pengertiannya pariwisata berarti perjalanan keliling dari suatu tempat ke tempat lain.
Kepariwisataan adalah merupakan kegiatan jasa yang memanfaatkan kekayaan alam dan lingkungan hidup yang khas, seperti : hasil budaya, peninggalan sejarah, pemandangan alam yang indah dan iklim yang nyaman. Perjalanan wisata adalah perjalanan keliling yang memakan waktu lebih dari tiga hari, yang dilakukan sendiri maupun di atur oleh Biro Perjalanan Umum dengan acara meninjau beberapa kota atau tempat baik di dalam maupun di luar negeri.
Adapun wisatawan menurut definisi International Union of Travel Organization (IUOTO) adalah :
1. Visitor (pengunjung) : seseorang yang melakukan perjalanan ke suatu Negara yang bukan Negara tempat ia tinggal, karena suatu alasan yang bukan pekerjaannya sehari-hari.
2. Tourist (wisatawan) : pengunjung yang tinggal sementara di suatu tempat paling sedikit 24 jam di negara yang dikunjungi dengan motivasi perjalanannya adalah :
- Berhibur (bersenang-senang, liburan, kesehatan, studi, alasan keagamaan dan olahraga)
- Berdagang,, kunjungan keluarga, misi dan pertemuan-pertemuan.
3. Excursionist (pelancong) : pengunjung sementara di suatu negara tanpa menginap.
Selain itu apa aja sih manfaat dari kepariwisataan itu sendiri? Mari kita bahas! 1. MANFAAT PARIWISATA DARI SEGI EKONOMI
Manfaat pariwisata dari segi ekonomi adalah pariwisata menghasilkan devisa yang besar bagi Negara sehingga meningkatkan perekonomian negara. 2. MANFAAT PARIWISATA DARI SEGI BUDAYA
Manfaat lain yang muncul dari industri pariwisata ini antara lain dapat terlihat pula dari segi budaya. Dengan pesatnya perkembangan industri pariwisata maka akan membawa pemahaman dan pengertian antar budaya melalui interaksi pengunjung wisata (turis) dengan masyarakat lokal tempat daerah wisata tersebut berada. Dari interaksi inilah para wisatawan dapat mengenal dan menghargai budaya masyarakat setempat dan juga memahami latar belakang kebudayaan lokal yang dianut oleh masyarakat tersebut.
Bali merupakan salah satu contoh nyata daerah wisata yang berkembang amat pesat di Indonesia. Banyaknya turis-turis yang berkunjung ke Bali, baik turis domestik maupun internasional telah membawa dampak yang cukup besar bagi perkembangan daerah itu sendiri. Sedangkan dari segi sosial budaya, Bali merupakan sarana yang tepat bagi pengenalan dan promosi kebudayaan Indonesia kepada dunia internasional.
Pariwisata juga mendatangkan manfaat bagi lingkungan hidup karena sebuah objek wisata apabila ingin banyak mendapatkan kunjungan dari wisatawan haruslah terjaga kebersihannya sehingga kita menjadi terbiasa untuk merawat dan menjaga lingkungan kita agar selalu terjaga kebersihannya. Pembangunan pariwisata tidak mengakibatkan dampak-dampak negatif terhadap lingkungan dan penurunan kualitas tanah atau lahan pertaniaan baik lahan perladangan maupun persawahan. Kelestarian hutannya masih tetap terjaga dengan baik. Masyarakat secara bersama-sama dan sepakat untuk melestarikan hutannnya dan tanpa harus ketergantungan terhadap hutan tersebut. Pada dasarnya masyarakat lokal telah sadar terhadap perlunya pelestarian hutan, karena kawasan hutan yang dimaksud merupakan daerah resapan air yang bisa dipergunakan untuk kepentingan hidupnya maupun makhluk hidup yang lainnya serta untuk keperluan persawahan.
4. MANFAAT PARIWISATA DARI SEGI NILAI PERGAULAN DAN ILMU PENGETAHUAN
Manfaat pariwisata yang kita dapat dari segi nilai pergaulan adalah kita menjadi lebih banyak mempunyai teman dari berbagai Negara dan kita bisa mengetahui kebiasaan orang yang dari masing-masing Negara tersebut sehingga kita bisa mempelajari bagaimana kebiasaan yang baik di masing-masing nagara.Selain itu kita juga mendapat manfaat ilmu pengetahuan dari pariwisata karena dengan mempelajari pariwisata kita juga bisa tahu dimana letak dan keunggulan sebuah objek wisata sehingga kita bisa mempelajari mengapa sebuah objek wisata tersebut bisa maju dan bisa menerapkan di daerah objek wisata daerah kita yang belum berkembang dengan baik. 5. MANFAAT PARIWISATA DARI SEGI PELUANG DAN KESEMPATAN KERJA
Seperti yang kita ketahui nowadays orang-orang sudah banyak usaha dibidang tour and travel, selain itu yang harus kita ketahui pekerjaan dengan background Sastra Inggris tidak begitu sulit. Tour guide! Yes kebanyakan orang berpikir kalau jurusan Sastra Inggris hanya bisa bekerja sebagai Tour Guide, but why not? Selama pekerjaan itu masih halal dan menghasilkan kan what's the matters? Tapi jaman sekarang menjadi tour guide tidak perlu pintar, tapi keberanian. Well, kalau kalian berani menghadapi para wisatawan mancanegara misalnya dijamin mereka bakalan puas dengan hasil usaha dan kerja keras kalian.
Manfaat pariwisata sangat amat dirasakan khususnya untuk anak-anak jurusan Sastra Inggris. Dengan modal bahasa inggris yang lancar dan mumpuni, kalian tidak hanya bisa menjadi seorang Tour Guide, melainkan kalian mungkin bisa dipromosikan bekerja pada bidang yang sama di luar negeri, dengan pengalaman yang cukup pastinya.
Atau juga bisa dengan modal kalian sering berpariwisata dan berkeliling dunia, kalian bahkan bisa jadi membuka bisnis tour and travel di luar negeri, who knows, right?
SO GUYS JANGAN KHAWATIR KALAU DENGAN KEMAMPUAN BAHASA INGGRIS KALIAN HANYA BISA MENJADI SEORANG TOUR GUIDE, GAK MASALAH KOK DENGAN PEKERJAAN ITU. SIAPA TAU KALIAN BAKALAN DIAJAK JUGA KAN KE LUAR NEGERI OLEH SALAH SATU WISATAWAN ASING YANG BERKUNJUNG KE INDONESIA
Dubai is the most beautiful place in this world (that's my opinion)^^ Well, as we know this city is the most expensive city in the world and also in Middle East. It is located on the southeast coast of the Persian Gulf and is one of the seven emirates that make up the country. Many theories have been proposed as to the origin of the word "Dubai". One theory suggests the word was used to describe the souq, which was similar to the souq in Ba. Another theory states that the name came from a word meaning "money", as people from Dubai were commonly believed to be rich due to the thriving trading center of the location. An Arabic proverb says "Daba Dubai", meaning "they came with a lot of money."
It's a city that some people I know adore just as much as myself. Personally, I've been blinded by the lights of Dubai and have a rosy-attitude towards the place despite the construction work and sweltering heat. You might fall head over heels for Dubai
This is why I love Dubai and you guys should love too :
1. Souk (Market)
Dubai has 3 souks. There are Gold Souk (Gold Market), Spice Souk (Herbs Market), and Textile Souk (Textile Market). You can visit one by one but trust me, you have to bring a lot of money if you want to go there. Because i'm so sure you will buy of the things that are so great. Well, lets talk about one by one.
The pictures on above are The Gold Souk. Gold Souk is a traditional market in Dubai. The sellers here consist of over 300 retailers that trade exclusively in jewellery. The souk is located in Dubai's commercial district, Deira.
So lets continue to another one is Spice Souk. Its also a traditional in Dubai where sells a variety of fragrances and spices from frankincense and shisha to the many herbs used in Arabic and South Asian food. In addition, several household, textiles, incense, rugs, and artifacts are also sold in the Spice Souk. It is located in eastern Dubai, in Deira and is next to the Gold Souk. Spice Souk, situated on Baniyas Street, is in locality of Al Ras. The Souk comprises several narrow lanes which are lined with open and closed-roof stores.
The third is Old Souk or we can also say Textile Souk. Here, you will find a lot of silks, fabrics, shoes, etc. In my opinion, it is also the one with the most beautiful buildings of all Dubai souks.
2. Burj Al-Arab and Burj Khalifa
