BATAK, PADANG , JAVA AND THEIR STEREOTYPE

The three ethnic groups dominantly occupy the governmental post in Java. We can say that Sunda from west Java or Maduranese in East Java is dominant, but together with the people using Javanese language, they have almost similar philosophy. Meanwhile, Batak and Padang are both from Sumatra but they have different religion and way of life. The Batak ethnic group commonly work as drivers and in the field of law, such as judge and prosecutors, while the Padang people is stereotyped as the ethnic of traders. The Javanese are both as a farmer and ruller. They have their own philosophy and if they are blended into one, they become one national philosophy.
