Lecturer of: Major Inf. Drs. Deden Koswara, M.Si
Thought Philosophy Indonesia has a character of its own, which is different from the western filsafatt, which is derived from Greek philosophy that prefers rationality, materialistic, individualistic. Philosophy Indonesia is a matter of thinking that comes from the roots of the wisdom contained in the Indonesian cultural treasure which we often refer to it as the eastern culture.
And shows a personality Indonesia. The eastern cultural treasure bias found in many customs, proverbs, sayings and so diverse ethnic, linguistic, cultural islands that characterize the pattern of philosophical Indonesia, which it has become the hallmark of the philosophy of the Indonesian nation.
Changes in the situation of the Indonesian nation state from the colonial into a sovereign independent state further strengthening and shaping the personality of the Indonesian nation.
Indonesian philosophy or philosophy of life is made of five basic Indonesian nation known as Pancasila, which is a single determination and abstract, universal and berhakikat on God, man, one, people, and fair.
Looking at the situation and socio-cultural development of Indonesian society today, the smearing of the author sees any inconsistencies understanding and applicable elements of the value contained in the philosophy of Pancasila. The presence of smearing the Pancasila values may be seen from some of the following indications:
1 Value of Godhead, who claimed the emergence of many new prophets, heretical sects, as if to proclaim a new belief state that wants to be recognized, it is also biased society influenced by a weak understanding of religion, and science and technology are not Pancasilaist, government / leaders religion also played a role with this situation by contributing to ignore a conviction is a stigma of personal freedom, but it must be placed on the portion.
2 Human Values, Theft donations to aid victims of natural disasters, is something that the writer is an uncivilized act and immoral. Provide humanitarian assistance to the carrying of personal interests / group is also part of this indication, although the levels are different but basically helping fellow was sincere and selfless.
3 Value Unity, Dissent is grace and not be lost during human life lasts. But if it leads to disintegration and negative physical contact is not a positive indication of the value of unity. Anarchist demonstrations, clashes between sympathizers contestants elections, the separatist movement is under threat from the value of this unity.
4 Value of Popular, the Indonesian nation is a nation of the people, by the people and for the people. People are the supreme authority. Representatives of the people within the state structure has forgotten the value of this, when a campaign promise representatives just a figment. Corruption, Collusion and Nepotism rampant everywhere from the lowest to highest institution institution, inflamed people's blood and sweat, which represents fixed common folk.
5. Fair Value, One of the impact of the erosion of democracy mentioned above is the loss of a sense of justice and kesosialan in society, vagrants and beggars, people under bridges are almost coloring corner and almost uncontrolled capital, malnutrition, eating parched rice, labor rights castrated is a small part of the picture of loss of self and a sense of social justice in Indonesian society.
Some examples of the erosion of the Pancasila philosophy mentioned above are influenced by various factors. The author states these factors include:
1 The existence of a negative stigma, and government / community most elite therein to make penganalogian that some theoretical value and application of the philosophy of Pancasila has always been identified with the New Order they want to leave. Upgrading P4, BP7, the Guidelines are some of them.
2 Obscure political system in Indonesia, where kebikjakan-policy executive officer / government will always be oriented to the interests of the political / party. Somewhere time talking as government officials and berlkainan at a time when he spoke as a political cadre, which impact on the application in public policy and an unhealthy thing for political and social life of society.
3 The development and progress of science and technology very rapidly, so that the community served nearly naked was a lot of information from the outside that has not been filtered properly and not necessarily in accordance with the philosophy Panxasila, and threaten thinking young generation successor to the philosophy of Pancasila. Internet easily and without limits can be accessed through mobile phones by all people, including teens who are not ready to accept the good, and one of them impact on premarital sex promiscuity, drugs is a very unfortunate thing, that in fact the television media is owned almost every home did not have clear orientation toward moral responsibility of society, as they tend to promote commercial media matters relating to purely financial.
4 The existence of the application and understanding penejawantahan reform misguided and excessive, with the collapse of the New Order in May 1998, they assume sebaga winners and forget that they are also the successor of the philosophy of Pancasila. Then with their own understanding of the meaning translate reform, and the values of Pancasila contained in Order products Barupun abandoned.
5. Consumerism, the presence of most of the character of our society that tend consumptive who also influenced the progress of science and technology. They assume that the Pancasila has limited "Human rights" it, so that the values of Pancasila as opposed to the left. Entertainment artists of the modern age who are not mentally ready to receive an abundance of material to shamelessly flaunt his lifestyle, marriage to the high cost and the long time corn divorce, infidelity scandal, and assume that it has become commonplace, and the media played a role televisipun regardless of who is watching it all.
6. Haru acknowledged that the quality of human resources said Indonesia would not be biased as the quality of human resources "elite" and "superior", so that eminent thinkers are born and not limited by the size of the Indonesian nation. Lack of human resources is also leaves little bore brilliant ideas of the value of Pancasila.
7 Less teraplikasinya normativity of religious ritual with the actuality of reality, the bias is said that Indonesia is a religious nation with Pancasila puts God first, but there are still many communities in the implementation of daily life, religious ritual is still much to do "imaging" himself to his Lord. By not carrying out what is contained in these religious values with the real life practice.
The author states that the New Order or Old Order bukasn Pancasila and Pancasila was not Order New or Old Order, but the important point was to convey: that Pancasila is the thought of life and personality of the Indonesian nation since thousands of years ago, and the liberation of our nation from colonization would legalize the Panxasila it from generation to generation. Despite the weaknesses and shortcomings of each order / rule, the values of Pancasila should be maintained and applied in the continued life, and critical writer dabn concerned about the reality of what happened in the community lately.
Perhaps every country, not only in Indonesia, some examples of the erosion of state nilasi philosophy will always be there and all the citizens will not be satisfied and accommodated, but look at the symptoms that arise in our society, if there is no improvement and the desire of all parties to color back the Pancasila values is not likely to ruin. Therefore, the author as a student participating members will brainstorm symptoms, including:
1 Give the noble values of Pancasila education in both the formal and non-formal institutions at an early age, if the order is now objected to the previous order products, create a new format and a weight value better.
Limit 2 political parties that channels the aspirations of the people, the author assumes 5 political party is the ideal amount to put forward the principle of unity. Because too many political parties will be vulnerable divisions. State officials and the separation of interests including political cadres.
3 Limit internet access with strict regulations, especially for early childhood, government, schools, parents should participate.
4 Mass Media must have a clear orientation, sports, entertainment, news, religion and so taking into account the value of the noble nation of Indonesia.
Brainstorming is just a general overview of the series of problems that occur, but at least if there is a bias it is well realized, at least will help improve what the public unrest, and returned to complete Indonesian man who berfalsafah Pancasila.
