In recent years, some of the local
culture
faded because exposing to the modern era on an International scale, for ,instance movies, the internet and other modern thing that can reach all of the citizens that even live far from the city. These changes have advantages because we can use modern technology to promote the local
culture
to the world, but
this
condition
also
has disadvantages
while
too much exposure can change a lot of the traditional
culture
. The benefits of exposing more in international media can help the locals go international,
such
as in Indonesia we have many traditional dances like Kecak from Bali or Golek from Yogyakarta. In the past, only communities in Bali and Yogyakarta or around the provinces know about
this
.
Hence
, after the publication in many media
for example
magazine, movies, many populations around the world know about those things, so some foreigners will be interested to come to Indonesia to see it live. 
However
, we
also
cannot deny the disadvantage of many exposures. Some of the local maybe fade because some the citizens especially young society want do not want to be part of citizens that learn about traditional things from their countries because they get influenced by other countries that may change their preferences. For ,instance some young Indonesian more love to dance K-pop or Western than their provinces dance. If all of the kids think with the same perspective, the local dance will disappear from time to time. In conclusion, to boost the number of traditional dancers, the professional dancer and government in every province must work together. society can't stop the modern era, so we must follow it but
also
use it in a good way to make a local
culture
more famous internationally.
