文化的背景

The concept of 'Andhap Asor' is the Javanese root of 'rendah hati'. It involves lowering oneself linguistically and physically (bowing) to show respect. Indonesians often use 'self-deprecation' as a form of 'rendah hati'. If someone praises their house, they might call it a 'gubuk' (shack) even if it's a mansion. The term 'Tawadhu' is frequently used in sermons to remind the wealthy that their riches are a gift from God, necessitating a 'rendah hati' attitude. On social media, 'rendah hati' is often contrasted with 'flexing' (pamer). Influencers who don't 'flex' are praised as 'rendah hati'.
