सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Teachers in Indonesia are called 'Pahlawan Tanpa Tanda Jasa' (Heroes without medals). Because of this high status, their moral failures are seen as a betrayal of the nation's future. The concept of 'Manunggaling Kawula Gusti' or the unity of leader and follower means that the leader's soul directly affects the follower's environment. The 'Bapakisme' culture means employees often wait for the boss to leave before they feel they can go home. If the boss leaves early, the employees might not show up at all. Traditional 'Adat' (customary law) places heavy emphasis on 'Sopan Santun' (politeness). Urinating while standing was historically a sign of a 'wild' person or someone without 'Adat'.
