MANUSIA DAN KEBUDAYAAN IBD (Ilmu Budaya Dasar)

 "Manusia adalah makhluk sosial" kata-kata seperti itu memang tidak asing lagi bagi kita. Ya, manusia memang makhluk sosial yang akan selalu membutuhkan orang lain. Selain itu kebiasaan setiap manusia pun pasti berbeda-beda, dan perbedaan itulah yang membuat manusia sangat beragam. Kebiasaan atau bisa juga disebut kebudayaan yang ada di Indonesia sangatlah beragam, contohnya saja pada daerah tertentu seperti Jawa yang dapat berbeda kebiasaan atau kebudayaan meskipun hanya berbeda jarak 1 km saja. 
Disisi lain  perbedaan  kebudayaan tidak hanya dari segi tempat, kebudayaan meliputi beberapa unsur seperti :
1. Cara / gaya hidup
2. Bahasa
3. Agama
4. Pekerjaan
5. Status soisal
6. Pengeatahuan
7. Seni
8. Negara
9. Peralatan dan perlengkapan hidup
10. dsb.


Jadi kesimpulannya adalah "Manusia dan kebudayaan pada hakekatnya memiliki hubungan yang sangat erat, dan hampir semua tindakan dari seorang manusia itu adalah kebudayaan." Berikut adalah beberapa contoh gambar mengenai manusia dan kebudayaan yang berbeda :

KOREAN FOOD ^^

Korean Food: Kimchi

Baechu Kimchi | Baek Kimchi | Bossam Kimchi | Chonggak Kimchi | Dong Chimi | Ggakdugi
Nabak Kimchi | Yeolmumul Kimchi

kimchi This side dish of fermented vegetables continues to be an essential part of any Korean meal. Early kimchi dishes were relatively mild, spiced with fermented anchovies, ginger, garlic, and green onions. Koreans still use these ingredients today, but the spice most closely associated with modern kimchi is red pepper powder. Korea boasts more than two hundred types of kimchi, all rich in vitamins, minerals, and proteins created by the lactic acid fermentation of cabbage, radish, and other vegetables and seafood. The kimchi served at a meal will vary according to region, season, and may differ according to the other dishes on the menu. A seaside region's kimchi will be saltier than that of a landlocked area, and summer cooks produce cooling water kimchis to contrast with the heartier cabbage kimchis of the autumn and winter. And a delicate cucumber kimchi sits better beside a bland noodle dish than beside a robust beef stew. To understand kimchi at its simplest, think of it is as divided into two kinds: seasonal kimchi (for short-term storage, made from vegetables that are fresh in the markets at any given time) and Kimjang kimchi (for long-term storage, made in quantity in late autumn).

Cultural Spotlight For more information, please see the Kimchi Cultural Spotlight.

Baechu Kimchi (Whole Cabbage Kimchi) Baechu Kimchi
This is the most common, classic kimchi you will find at a Korean meal. Whole heads of cabbage are trimmed to remove discolored outer leaves and then split longways into two or four sections. These sections are soaked in brine for three or four hours until they have softened (during the summer and winter for about 12 hours.)

While this is going on, the other ingredients are assembled and mixed together. (Ground pepper powder, chopped garlic and ginger, pickled baby shrimp -or other sea food pickled such as anchovies and other fishes as a form of row fish cut in bitable size, sponge seaweed- and oysters can be added depending taste and family recipes.)

When they are mixed and the cabbage is ready. For common baech'u kimchi the softened cabbages are cut in to bitable size and mix with other ingredients. For Tongbaechu kimchi, handfuls of the stuffing are then pushed and spread between the leaves of the cabbage until it is all used. The outer leaves of the cabbage are wrapped round whole to form a solid bundle, which is then stored in a crock covered with salted leaves and pressed down firmly.

Baek Kimchi (White Cabbage Kimchi) Baek Kimchi
Paek kimchi originaly came from North Korea where less salt and red pepper are used in cooking. (Cabbages are soaked in brine until they have softened and are seasoned using ginger, garlic strips, and red pepper threads instead of red pepper powder. The materials used for stuffing vary according to personal taste. It can combine radishes, mushrooms, Korean pears, chestnuts, and dates with watercress greens and mustard leaves, and even little bit of pepper powder.)

Nabak Kimchi (Red Water Kimchi) Nabak Kimchi
This is the most highly prized of the water kimchis. It can be enjoyed year around these days, although in the past it was popular in the spring after Koreans had finished eating the winter Kimjang kimchi. It has an elegant appearance created by the cutting of the radish into slender bite sized pieces of just over an inch square and with other colorful ingredients such as cabbage, green onions, watercress, red chili peppers, garlic, and ginger. The word nabak indicates the special cutting technique Korean cooks use to create these squares. The word, by association, also has the connotation of something crunchy and crisp. The completed mixture is garnished with a fine amount of red pepper brine sprinkled over it before storage.

More water is added and the vegetables are mixed before storing.
