Along with the development of the times, which we know technology is getting more sophisticated, but not only increasingly sophisticated technology, but changes in the socio-cultural field are also increasing, especially in this era of modernization which also influences socio-cultural changes for the community. As well as changes in behavior patterns, dress code, and language.
Socio-cultural changes are changes that occur in the midst of community life, which include cultural changes in it, which are related to changes in norm values, behavior, or attitudes, dress customs, language styles from traditional to modern.
Modernization can also be interpreted as a change in a more advanced direction. In this era of modernization, many teenagers are affected, one of which is changes in behavior patterns or attitudes. We look at the procedures for interacting or communicating in the community, for example having critical, open, logical, and rational thinking.
Another example is the more egalitarian method of communication between the younger generation and their parents.
Changes in dress code also greatly affect society, especially among teenagers who are always updated about fashion. In contrast to the previous era, many people often use traditional clothes or traditional clothes from their native areas, such as wearing a kebaya at weddings or commemorating ceremonies, or commemorating special days.
So that we can know that in this era of modernization, it has an effect on changes in the way people dress.
Moreover, among teenagers, most of the dressing procedures follow the trend that is currently viral, even following the fashion style of the celebrity celebrities, such as those who used to only use tops combined with skirts, now they can be combined with culottes, jeans, and hijabs which are increasingly diverse. models, materials, and motifs.
This is evidence that the era of modernization has brought about changes in the dress code, but it is okay for teenagers to dress according to trends while they are still polite, and do not lead to negative things.
Not only changes in behavior patterns and dress procedures, the style of language among teenagers has also undergone changes in this modernization era, where in the past only mastered their respective regional languages.
Of course, in this modernization era, it has brought changes which are not only mastering the local language, but also being able to speak foreign languages, such as English. It is not even sporadic that teenagers use slang, which is where they speak mixed languages.
Changes in behavior patterns, dress styles, and language are a form of socio-cultural change caused by modernization. Modernization itself is caused by the drive to increase work efficiency and increase production.
Modernization is very influential in everyday life with all the increasingly sophisticated and advanced technology. However, modernization can make it easier for us to complete our work more efficiently. And it becomes a form of positive impact of modernization itself.
But talking about the positive consequences of modernization, of course, on the other hand, modernization has a negative influence on the culture of the community, including the emergence of doubts about the existing customs and values of society. This can lead to contradictions between members of the community.
The occurrence of cultural gaps, for example the development of communication technology through the use of the internet. If the community cannot use it properly and correctly, it can cause potential problems, such as when we use social media, we must be wise in its use so that it does not cause unwanted things and also does not harm ourselves as well as others.
