II.

Indonesian people tend to be individualism, commonly, when they are in the high status in the society. When they become a rich person or family in Indonesia, it will be very hard for them to care with other people.

Another  example, when someone who is a poor people but one year later he become a Senator in DPR. It is a high status in Indonesia because a senator has a high salary. Commonly, It will make that person tend to be individualism.
