The youth of today is the Youth of Hope of the Nation
The Future of Future Leaders "Give me ten youths so I can shake the world", that's what the founding fathers of the First President of Indonesia are convincing of how important the role of youth in the progress of the nation and the State.
The good of a country is seen from the quality of the youth, because the young generation is the successor and heir of the nation and the State.
The young generation needs to have a strong character to build their nation and country, have high personalities, nationalism stimulus, competitiveness, be able to understand science and technology to compete globally.
Youth also need to pay attention that they have benefits
Youth as agents of change, ethical force and social control so that the following benefits can be useful for the community.
In the event of the movement and struggle of the Indonesian nation, youth always have a very strategic role in every moment that needs to happen.
When fighting for the independence of the Dutch and Japanese occupiers, when it overthrew the Soekarno regime (the old order), to the extent of overthrowing the Soeharto regime, the youth became the backbone for each change of movement when the next era did not coincide with the popular petition.
Youth can always be a People make history at every time. Youth really has a strategic and special position.
Qualitatively, youth are more creative, innovative, have pure ideals and great energy in social change and quantitatively, about 30-40 percent of the youth of the entire Indonesian population is in the 15-35 years age range and can be even greater than the range of being 15-45 years old.
I see that youth can be more creative tangible to do the movement when conditions or conditions around it experience complexity, contained many problems faced that are not resolved.
On the one hand, when conditions around him appear safe and secure no serious problems are faced, youth can tend to be silent / passive, not doing much, more apathetic and maintaining perceived comfort.
Yet both in conditions of many problems or conditions without serious problems, youth are required to move more in the cause of better change, more productive and more creative in imagining ideas of change for a better nation.
I see the condition of today's youth of Indonesia, experiencing moral degradation, lulled along with pleasure and forgot to be responsible as a youth.
Moral, social and academic targets, the youth no longer give examples and exemplary to the community as educated, more oriented to hedonism (pretense), not many young people are sensitive to the social conditions of this fitting society, in academic affairs too much students do not understand that they are academic beings who are able to have a major effect in the turn towards the progress of the nation.
