So, Indonesia has the variety of ethnics, regional languages, and  also difference of religions. But it doesn’t make Indonesia people scattered. It is exactly make indonesia people respect to each other, and make a life peaceful. This is the reason why Indonesia has the quotes “Unity in Diversity”.
We proud of Indonesia. Because Indonesia have many advantages. These are the three things why I proud to be Indonesian. First, Natural resources of Indonesia. Indonesia has many natural resources.
