Reflection of National Awakening Day 2011

Jumat, 13 Januari 2012


Thirteen years since the reform passed, but the future of democracy in Indonesia is still a question most people in the country ini.mengapa community in this country think that the political conditions in Indonesia at this very unfortunate for the people in this country? Because society considers that politics was enlightening and a direct impact on quality of life, has hindered the expansion of the attentive public (public berperhatian) to the understanding of the importance of politics for the public sector itself.
This is senbuah negative impact of lack of democratic education to the community, especially the young. Silencing of free expression during the New Order regime, has left an increasingly layered effects reinforce the political paradigm that bad in society. This condition is even more alarming, with minor massive media coverage that is not only "punish" politicians are negative, but also generalize elements decay at the institutional level, so that tends to negate the positive changes in institutional conducted by a group of people in the system at the micro level.

And if we go back to dig the essence of the struggle in the national revival, in the mudalah we find hope, the spirit of unity and contribution to make changes. Let us briefly look at the experience of our predecessors, peel essence of the struggle student movement and intellectuals who later founded the 1908 era Budi Utomo. Through education, this movement was able to bring together "the elderly" and "young people", even then transformed into part of the social and political struggle of the people of Indonesia.

Return reflects the consolidation of democratic transition process at this time, I think the educated and young people in Indonesia have to dare to let go of ego and together realize, that the ideals of democracy which better not be created without the support with a number of reinforcement, including the education of democracy, so that the public a sovereign, truly understand the meaning of its sovereignty.

Democratic education that is relevant to the actual context of the community is key. We need a democratic education is intact, Pancasila internalize fully in all aspects of life, as our forefathers fought for, open the concept of nationalism we, as citizens of the Republic of Indonesia. For that, we need to go back to make sure, where the spirit of revival that is now, and how education can be a part of democracy is a reflection of national revival. Students and young people should be able to do analyzing the situation and discuss it in public spaces. It should be agreed upon consensus, how the youth movement will proceed, and what contribution the movement will be transformed, to ensure the democratization process in Indonesia is already moving forward, continue to be in the right direction, and we have agreed together.
Hopefully this momentum could be a reflection of benefit to us, interpret national awakening with improvement in all aspects. Safeguard the democratic process at every stage as a constant struggle, for the sake of democracy a better life.

Besides the momentum of national revival also expected to be able to open eyes, hearts and minds healthy all of us in answering all the adversity of the nation. Resurrection is an effort to change for the better than ever. Awakening to trigger the growth of something new and better. Awakening gave birth to generations who have a mindset and a new spirit in creating work that is useful both for themselves and for society at large.
As a student we should be young people who have the intention of the soul rising generation rising generation is the generation of quality, independent and work and have the ability to answer the expectations of the Heroes "national awakening" and future challenges. Downturn became a valuable lesson and the basis for the youths in this country to rise up and have their uses in order to surpass the challenges and obstacles that lie vast occasionally we will face in the future.

In addition, rising generation is the generation that has a creative spirit and innovative in finding loopholes obstacles and challenges which in turn is converted into an opportunity to rise up and win the competition in the era of globalization. Broke through a gap difficult to do alone, but easy if done together. Already as a youth should ikita vying to get up and ready to be leaders and led.
Perhaps the eagle will not sleep longer in the condition deterioration if, we as the youth has a soul revival as the heroes of ancient times who was willing to sacrifice his life for fighting for the dignity of this country.
So the future of this country is determined by all of us, especially us as young men, what we hope eagles sleep constantly in a state of the ground up, on the other hand what we really hope that the eagle does not always wake up and sleep in a state of deterioration.

Let the youth in this country we reflect together nasonal moment commemorating the resurrection is to wake Indonesia from the actual conditions of adversity and we as youth have a very important role ie, dynamic spirit which generally exist in us as a (youth Indonesia) to propellant for "machine" national struggle. Should we as youth should also give full support and earnestly against the Resurrection of the country.
