Individualism ( AU 90 VS ID 14 )

the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members.

the degree of interdependence a society maintains among its members.

Based on cultural norms between Australia and Indonesia it seems like they have huge differences in individualism. It is proved by these 2 transportation network companies' advertisements from each country. As we see on this Australian’s Uber short advertisement, the Uber driver seems silence and careless towards their passenger as well as the passengers just focus on their own business, which highlight the point of individualism in society, in contrast with Gojek’s advertisement, it display how a girl cares with her family and friends in Eid Mubarak yet, she can’t do anything about it because it was in the middle of pandemic but, because of Gojek she can finally being connected with her family and friends by sending them some gift, which highlight the point of collectivist culture of Indonesia.


Indulgence ( AU 71 VS ID 38 )

the extent to which people try to control their desires and impulses

In this dimension Australia has a bigger point than Indonesia because of How Australian put their desires first over anything else in contrast with Indonesia. According to Gojek's short advertisement, we can look at how the girl spends her time and money on her family’s needs and other’s needs because most of Indonesian believe that if they spend anything on their family, they will get better than they had before. Compared with Australia, in the perspective of this Uber’s short advertisement, most of Australian tend to expend their money for their own business and happiness, as we see on advertisement where each individual has their own happiness and seems like they are willing to spend everything on it to make it happen, therefore thru this advertising Uber exist to bring their desire into reality.(Doors are always open)
