Abstract

The development of science and technology has given great impact on human life. It is true that the development of science and technology has resulted in the rapid progress in agriculture, medicine and health care, telecommunication, transportation, and others; however, it also has given negative effects like pollution, global warming, and even the destruction of the whole population just in one night by the nuclear bomb. These problems can only be simply and directly solved through moral awareness. This paper will attempt to see the scientific activity from the moral point of view. There are four major items discussed in this paper: (1) the definition of value, (2) the kinds of value, (3) the relationship between science and religion, and (4) the principles of science utilization. Those items presented in this paper will hopefully end up with the moral awareness in the scientific activity.

Oberg states that Culture Shock is an anxiousness appearing because of the lost of sign and symbol of familiar social relation.

A.      Background

Language is a social phenomenon. It is a means of communication and interaction among individuals. Wardhaugh (2006:1) said that a language is what the members of a particular society speak. All languages are equally complex and each language is part of the culture that produces it and adequate for the needs of people who use it. It can be inspected by internal or external factors.

In internal factor, we can analyze the structure of the language like phonology, morphology, or even syntax; and cannot analyze the outside structure of language. In external factor, we can analyze the outside factors of language, related to the activities of human in a community or society. In analysing it, we cannot only use the theory of linguistics but also use the other studies like sociology, psychology, anthropology, and neurology so the unity of various knowledge can be known such as, sociolinguistics which is a combination from sociology and linguistics; psycholinguistics is from psychology and linguistics; anthropolinguistics is unity of anthropology and linguistics; and also neurolinguistics is from neurology and linguistics. It means that linguistics cannot stand alone in implementing at society; it needs other studies which can be more flexible in use and be suitable in daily context. In a study of linguistics, all analysis of internal factor can be called as microlinguistics and which of external factor is macrolinguistics.
