Have you ever heard about students who studies archipelago literature? I'm sure just a little number of you know it. That major isn't the favorite major in a university, and the enthusiasts rarely increase drastically. Besides, only a several state university has this major and many people assume this major isn't have a good prospect for the alumnus. People just put a bad stereotape on this major because they think this major only study a vernacular so it doesn't interesting at all.
Because the little number of participans in this major, people usually make a crack to the students. They said the students don't have a bright future. They said that because a fact that a vernacular teacher don't have a big influence to students in school. Vernacular isn't a major subject so they can underestimate the subject and the teacher. They don't know the other prospect and the false stereotape make this major increasingly underestimated. Or the stereotape that said the students of this major have no other choice or delibrate to choose the low passing grade major.
So in this speech I want to align views about this major. In this major, students not only studying about vernacular. They studying about the literature too. So they not only knows about the language, but also the history of the language, the right pronunciation, the art, culture, and the relation between vernacular and the other language. They have more knowledge about our original culture because this major is integrated in faculty of science of culture.
Based on my research, students who choose literature majors archipelago have known what's their dream before decided to join this major. Their dreams is a fantastic dream that I never heard before. They want to remind Indonesians to their original culture in the globalization era. One of student said that she wants to open a Javanese restaurant like Raminten. And the other want to be a Javanese jazz musician. He want to make a jazz song with Javanese language. So, this major and the student of this major can help people to remind their original culture with a creative way.
Many people judge the students choose this major because of the low passing grade. Low passing grade means would be very easy for college at the favorite university even with less favorite major. But I don't think so. Because students who had decided to join this major already build they dream and have a big responsibility to their choice. Very rare found a student choose this major based on that statement.
About the prospect, this major have a great prospect that can bring the students overseas. Beside working as the cultural experts in this country, they can go overseas to teach the foreign people about vernacular. You have to know that many foreign people are interesting to learn about Indonesian culture, especially Javanese. Or they can go to Netherland and be the inscription translater. Beside get a pride in bringing indigenous culture, they get a good salary for their job.
Being a civilians in a multiculture country, we have to open our mind to diversity in this country. Don't judge people from their choice of life. All majors is made because a special purpose and there's no major that is not useful. Finally, literature majors archipelago should be not trivialized. Although they are not a favorite majors, the alumnus are needed by everyone in the future.
