The objective of this study is to juxtapose the cultural practices of Indonesia and Western individuals in their day-to-day existence. This study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology. This study examined the speech, behaviours, and lifestyles of both Indonesian and Western individuals. There are numerous fundamental variations in lifestyle, speech, and behaviour that are permitted in Indonesia yet prohibited among Western individuals.
