INTRODUCTION
Pancasila is
the legacy of genius or history from the nation's founders. Pancasila is the
social identity of the Indonesian people (Meinarno & Rahardjo, 2012). If the legacy is
not passed on to the younger generation, then the values of
Pancasila will slowly disappear. In Indonesia, Pancasila is a way of life and
ideology that was nearly supplanted by another ideology in the hearts of the
Indonesian people (Andrew, Henry, Yudhisthira, Arifin, & Permai, 2019).
Therefore, Pancasila education is very important for the community, especially
the younger generation, to remind again that there are many values
in Pancasila that can be applied in everyday life and the life of
the nation and state (Agus, 2016).
Pancasila
education aims as a point of view for the community, especially the younger
generation, which is useful for strengthening the nation's character,
especially the younger generation who will become the nation's successors (Taniredja, Afandi, & Faridli, 2012).
The characters in question are Religious, Humane, United, Democratic, and
Active. The five characters take the value of the five precepts. If the
Pancasila values are not implemented properly, the survival of
the Indonesian state will be threatened because the sense of national unity and
integrity will be eroded.
Currently,
pragmatism, materialism, and hedonism are increasingly rampant in people's
lives. This understanding will erode the morality of society, especially the
younger generation (Rahma & Dewi, 2021). In addition,
currently, there are many shows in various media, one of which is television
which presents various shows in which there is hedonism, juvenile delinquency
to violence which is presented as a family show, without realizing that this
will lead to deviations among the younger generation will increase (Sulton, 2016). Thus, to form
intelligent citizens and have character and skill, they are required to
understand and apply the values of Pancasila.
Based on the
background, the formulation of the problem in this paper is to observe the role
of Pancasila Education for the millennial generation and see the behavior of
the millennial generation after receiving Pancasila Education courses,
especially in this digital era.
This paper,
among others, aims to determine the influence of Pancasila courses on the
millennial generation and to find out the implementation of Pancasila can be
applied in daily life and the life of the nation and state for the younger
generation. As for the benefits of this paper, this paper can be used as
learning material, especially in the implementation of Pancasila in everyday
life and the life of the nation and state. This paper can help understand more
deeply the values contained in Pancasila. This paper can also
help understand how important Pancasila education is for the millennial
generation.
METHOD
The research
method is very important in writing scientific papers where the method will
have a huge impact on the results or conclusions of the scientific work itself.
According to Ngalimun in his book entitled
"Learning Strategies and Models," the method is used to achieve
learning objectives (Ngalimun, 2014).
Furthermore, research is an activity of systematically studying a problem using
the scientific method to obtain reliable new knowledge about the natural and
social world (Faisal, 2005).
Meanwhile, according to Sugiyono, the research method
is a scientific method used to obtain data with a specific purpose (Sugiyono, 2019).
From some of
the explanations above, it can be concluded that the research method is a
method used by writers of scientific papers or researchers to conduct an
assessment of the problems discussed so that different results can be obtained
that can be used as new knowledge that can be relied on for truth.
The method used is qualitative approach and the
researcher used the method of literature study in writing this scientific
paper. In the literature study method, data and information are collected by
reviewing books and journals related to the discussion in scientific works (Siswanto, 2010). Furthermore, the practice of Pancasila values
among teenagers or millennials is determined as the object of
research and the general public in the millennial group as the subject of this
research. In writing this scientific paper, the data used is secondary data.
The data is obtained from various sources such as books and journals related to
the practice of Pancasila values taught in the Pancasila
Education class (Cresswell, 2017).
RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION
A. Millennial
Generation Behavior
The current
millennial generation has an important role in the sustainability of the life
of the nation and state. It is undeniable that the current millennial
generation has the advantage of being confident and highly creative because it
is supported by increasingly sophisticated and modern science & technology (Setiawan, 2017). However, technological advances are
not free from negative impacts that cannot be ignored. Today's advances in
technology make everything instant and easy to obtain something or information.
This is the challenge of Pancasila in today's modern era.
If you look
at it today, there are still many millennial generations who do not apply the
values of Pancasila in their lives. Here are some examples of the
erosion of Pancasila values that is happening in today's modern
era:
1) The 1st Precept
concerns "Belief in the one and only God."
Many people,
especially the millennial generation, do not properly carry out their
obligations as religious people. For example, many young people on social media
platforms are intolerant and radicalized by not respecting other religions and
uttering hate speech.
2) The 2nd
Precept concerning "A just and Civilized Humanity."
Today's
millennial generation is more apathetic and selfish. This can be seen when they
are associated with each other, only focusing on their gadgets, so they do not
care about other people or friends around them. Another example, nowadays, many
young people do not uphold the truth and admit their mistakes because they
defend their friends in a group or an association.
3) In the 3rd
Precept concerning "Unity of Indonesia."
Due to the
development of increasingly advanced technology, making all information
accessible quickly and easily without being filtered and looking for as
detailed information as possible first. This makes many millennials
impressionable. For example, when the issue of the Revised Omnibus Law was
issued in 2020, many young people were provoked by hoaxes spread by
irresponsible parties, causing riots in various places.
4) The 4th Precept concerning "Democracy led by Wisdom of
the Representative's Deliberation."
The problem that can be seen here as an example, when conducting a
discussion, many people still think their opinion is correct and reject the
opinion that contradicts them. Because of this, the current generation is
considered to lack respect for the opinions of others who do not agree with
them. Moreover, many people cannot accept criticism or suggestions. The
application of discussion to achieve goals and consensus is fading.
5) In the 5th Precept concerning "Social Justice for All Indonesian People."
Today, many people are apathetic in social life and even tend not to care
about other people's difficulties. For example, many people do not mix well and
only hang out with people in their group. A high sense of apathy makes many
people currently not more concerned with cooperation or caring for others.
Based on the details above, it can be seen that the noble values
of Pancasila during society are starting to fade with time and
development. Therefore, it is important to understand and re-educate the values
of Pancasila in the current millennial generation because they
are a valuable asset and successor to the Indonesian nation.
B. Implementation and Practice of the Noble Values of Pancasila
Pancasila, which is the ideology or basis of the state, contains a set of ideal
basic values expected to become the way of life of the Indonesian
people. The values contained in the Pancasila ideology are
fundamental values to be used as regulations or the basis of
legal norms that apply in Indonesia (Kariyadi, 2017). Thus, the importance of Pancasila as the basis of the state
means that Pancasila is the basis, guideline,
and foundation of life for
the entire Indonesian nation because Pancasila itself is the
embodiment of the noble ideals
of the entire
Indonesian nation.
The following are some of the founding figures of the nation who put
forward their ideas about Pancasila:
1) Ir. Soekarno
According to Ir Soekarno, Pancasila is not only a state philosophy but the
content & soul of the Indonesian nation that has existed for generations.
2) Moh. Yamin
According to Moh Yamin, Pancasila has the meaning of five basic principles,
which contain principles, good behavior, and guidelines for the Indonesian nation.
Pancasila itself comes from the term "panca," which means
"five," and "sila," which means "basic".
3) Notonegoro
According to Notonegoro, Pancasila is the ideological
basis of the Indonesian nation, which is the view and way of life of the Indonesian
nation on the principle of unity.
The formulations of Pancasila, which the founders of the
nation initiated, are intended so that the Indonesian nation has a strong
foundation and foundation in running the state and running the government. The
goal is to achieve the noble goals and ideals of the Indonesian nation and not
be easily influenced by other nations so that unity is maintained. Therefore,
it is fitting for the next generation to be able to apply and carry out the
noble values of Pancasila in the life of the nation and state.
In Pancasila & the 1945 Constitution itself, there is a noble goal and
ideals of the entire Indonesian nation as stated in the 4th paragraph of the
opening of the 1945 Constitution, namely:
"... to protect the entire Indonesian nation with
all of Indonesia's blood spilled and promote public welfare, educate the
nation's life, and participate in carrying out world order based on
independence, eternal peace, and social justice for the entire Indonesian
nation."
source: Preamble of the 1945 Constitution
In fact, in the practice of Pancasila values, the current millennial
generation has an important role in the sustainability of the life of the
nation and state. However, now Pancasila is facing challenges that come from
that generation. Amid the rapid advancement of existing technology and the
convenience offered in accessing various information and communications, the
current millennial generation tends to want something quickly, easily, and
instantly
(Eddy, 2018). Hence, it is very easy to be influenced. The development
of technology and the entry of foreign cultures make the Indonesian people face
real problems because it will have an impact on reducing the sense of
nationalism and the value of nationalism for the millennial generation, which
indirectly erodes the values of Pancasila among the nation's
successors.
Therefore, it is important to instill Pancasila education and educate all
the nation's successors so that foreign cultures do not erode them. For
example, Pancasila education must be socialized into courses at universities so
that students can deepen the important values of Pancasila so
that they are not used by certain parties who intend to divide the unity of the
Indonesian nation.
In developing the character of patriotism and nationalism of the younger
generation, it can be done through 3 processes (Rajasa, 2007), namely:
1) Character Development, where the younger generation plays
a role in building a positive national character through strong efforts and
intentions in upholding the noble values of Pancasila and
implementing them in daily life
2) Character Empowerment, where the younger generation plays
a role as an example of positive national character development, for example,
by taking the initiative to reduce and resolve conflicts so that problems do
not become wider
3) Character Enginer, where the younger generation takes an active role and
participates in science for the development of a positive national character
Based on the explanation above, Pancasila in the millennial
era can be practiced in the following ways:
1) Carry out and obey God's commands according to their
respective beliefs and have a sense of tolerance and mutual respect by
respecting other religions.
2) Appreciate every difference in ethnicity, race, culture,
and religion that exists amid diverse Indonesian society
3) Loving the homeland in order to maintain the integrity of
the nation.
4) Be aware, be vigilant, and provide opinions or
suggestions on the course of government.
5) Not easily influenced and divided by confirming things
and managing information properly.
6) Take an active role in advancing the nation's education
and intelligence
Through several ways above, it is hoped that the next generation of the
nation can have a strong foundation in maintaining the nation's integrity in
the future.
CONCLUSION
The impact
of the development of science and technology, Pancasila, is gradually eroded by
globalization, which negatively affects the younger generation of millennials.
In this industrial era 4.0, all young people or millennials are required to
compete to create innovations and creative works, so it is feared that many
young people will begin to forget the identity of the Indonesian nation. The
development of technology has the biggest impact on changes in the character
and behavior patterns of the millennial generation. The millennial generation
is a generation that will never be separated from technological developments.
One example is the application of Pancasila values that
millennials can do, namely maintaining mutual tolerance or mutual respect among
religious people to achieve social comfort and peace, Respecting differences in
society that contain ethnicity, religion, race, and customs (SARA). Increasing
creativity and innovation, especially the younger generation, to advance the
Indonesian nation, working together to solve problems to reach consensus.
