Story of Bali, Indonesia

In repartee, joyful emotions are often powerfully expressed. The Balinese always try to make good relationships with their extended family and their community. Suryani found that persons will take a day off from work if their community or extended family is involved in ceremonies. They give more attention and place greater importance on such family and community social activities and on their own self interests than on their jobs.These data contradict Mead's statements about lack of interpersonal relationships, there is no question about their presence and strength. It is curious that she concluded to the contrary.Two the authors in depth studies in Bali were centred on mountain villages one of elderly persons who were interviewed extensively in their homes and the other of children in which villagers from various walks of life interviewed. It was the that mountain villagers were less verbal, spoke less with each other than plains villagers, and showed less expressiveness in the face. Belo noted similar differences between the peq$e of plains villages and the people of more remote mountain villages she-concluded that the former were friendly, gay, inclined to be talkative, more outgoing, and at ease with Westerners:

They did, not suffer from the "tongue-tiedness" and the strain which we found in the remote districts where the people were unaccustomed to such contacts possibly Mead's general conclusions about lack of interpersonal relationships stemmed from her impressions of the mountain villagers of Bayup Gede. However, this would not fully explain it since she and Bateson also made observations in plains villages. stated that thoughtfulness is extraordinary out of key with Balinese character. Placating another, teasing another, flirting with another, fending off the approach from another-4hese are all habitual enough. But cherishing and thoughtfulness am absent even in the mother-child relationship to An astonishing degree, being replaced by titillation and emotional exploitation.' She stated an exception to this, an anomaly of this 'out-of-key behaviour', was in the thoughtfulness that older siblings pay to the younger- the parent admonishes the older child to 'take care of your younger sibling.
