Indonesia recently celebrated its independence day on August 17, 2011 at the age of 66 years, visible in social media - facebook and twiter most of the facebook users that are dominated by young people write on the wall (wall) of independence, even the cries of Merdeka independence independent ... .... Become synonymous with the language independence, depicting the heroism of the freedom fighters attitude.
In one chat room fasilitaas features provided by the facebook social networking media, to greet friends, friend or foe chatter always greet each other on the independence day with a greeting word ..... completely independent Merdeka remain free ..... but the young people are critical and the sad state of today's society with a social slant tone, revealing the question, who says Indonesia is independent? what's so free? This question can not be blamed or denied because the reality is there are still many Indonesian people living far away from the commitments and goals of independent Indonesia.
In the preamble of the 1945 Constitution says in the first paragraph, "that real freedom is the right of every nation and therefore, the occupation in the world should be abolished, because it does not conform to fairies fairy humanity and justice" in the fourth paragraph and then write, "... . establish an Indonesian State Government which shall protect the Indonesian people and the entire country of Indonesia and to promote the general welfare, the intellectual life of the nation, dn participate in the establishment of world order based on freedom, lasting peace, and social justice, ..... "
The questions are expressed by the general public not to worry people but merely a groan almost Indonesian people who live in poverty and the coil should live by eating parched rice, eating rice mixed Tiwul, starch water drink milk substitute, child young people with diseases caused by malnutrition due to lack of food substance called protein or egg white, so blood protein deficiency, a result there was a colloid osmosis.
Real conditions that befell the country that make Mother Earth cry kemerdekaanpun fighters spoke, as was done by PPAD Chairman Lieutenant General (Ret) Soerjadi strongly criticized the government of SBY. Government has even considered not susceptible to deviate from the values contained in the 1945 statement was disclosed during the inauguration of PPAD Chairman Major General (Ret) Priyanto (http://www.poskota.co.id). Retired opinion this can not be blamed because it fits with reality that happens in people's lives.
Due to the social conditions that afflict society because of government behavior that does not run the government in accordance with what is mandated by the 1945 Constitution, resulting in the problems of a society that is not prosperous, it is difficult to mewujudukan order for believers who want to run their worship, giving room for development new colonists that the criminals who loot public money for personal, family groups, and political parties.
This condition brings up questions to analyze the issue is where the role of the youth to rekindle the spirit of independence fought by the fighters in the context of the progress of the current technological advances based on the 1945 Constitution?
Antony thinkers Gidens revealed that "human action and interaction to assemble a collection of chains of reason, but the monitoring of behavior and consistent context, this is a means to deal with space and time to enter any particular activity or experience in the sustainability of the past, present, and future front, which in turn structured by practices-ongoing social practices. Tradition is not completely static, since he had rediscovered by each new generation when he took over the cultural heritage of its predecessors "(Anthnoy Gidens - 2009 - Creative Discourse).
Youth and Virtual Worlds
Firtual is a world where human civilization driven technology in this space if the space technology diaman human past can only communicate through oral, then an increase in the securities written communications sophistication but now leads man to a new era in which almost no limit by space and time.
Space and reasoning in conditioning your interactions in the social networking world facebook and twiter even in technology "Anroid" and that RIM technology also owned a blackberry so that people can do activities Masangger Blackberry (BBM). Advances in technology has made communication in a second sooner people can easily make friends and find old friends with ease, consolidation and communication can be in the wake of social media is very effective and efficient.
Experience of national consolidation is done to garner support for Prita Mulyasari coins were charged with defamation finally able to influence the decision of the district court, Movement 1.000.000 Facebookers Support Chandra Hamzah & Seed Samad Riyanto, both named as a suspect alleged abuse of power and bribery in the case of PT Masaro Radiokom. Attorney General but strong public support through the virtual world (social networking) is able to influence policy.
In his struggle to support group-group is quite another matter raised through social networking media like this or is there a model of advanced approaches to do youth nationalism as a form of struggle. Surely the power of social media networking technology currently has enough speed to convey information and get the response can be measured because there is a real form of support, namely the merger of the individuals in the group through comments and likes djempol mark on the group.
True Nationalism
Day management of social networking and user accounts blackberry will spend enough time or even part time in spent in front of computer screen or mobile phone screen to provide feedback, build friendships and follow the latest info. Youth will debate the arguments for and against in access to information and then published to the social networking space. Penalty debate reason and knowledge of youth or the community will be in hypnosis to be in front of the screen all the time to give us your feedback or pros-cons cons.
Bank Century case, Gayus Tambunan tax mafia case, Case Pensions Athletes involving M.Nazarudin Treasurer of the Democratic Party who suck trillions of dollars of public money, in these cases in the media of social networking communities express resentment, persolan analysis, even doubts about the legal process all stated in writing on the walls of social networking, instant messaging bbm, but these cases seem to end up with a political deal.
Cases - cases that cost the state and carried out by government officials is far from the expectations and objectives state that mandated in the 1945 Constitution, the appreciation of the public with the opinion and comment in the democratic era has been pretty good but it seems like just burble-burble in social media without concrete steps in order safeguard the nation's problems can be resolved completely.
The fact today's youth as a backbone of the nation then struggle discourse and opinion membangu alone without struggle and conflict resolution, treading what is disclosed by Gidens that the past, the present and the future must be able to be structured in social practices that are being worked on . The fact that there is not conducted by Indonesian youth in building nationalism only boasting - boasting in social media but do not rise up in the struggle for independence as represented physically achieved through physical warfare. Youth no longer reflect the nationalist freedom fighters who won independence from the colonialists already had real courage in social networking media, but not able to become their character.
Should discourse and the growing opinion in the world of social networking will be able to be reproduced human activity more radical (but according to the corridors of law) that the street movement (extra parliamentary) conducted by a procession past the streets to put pressure on the government as pressure in order government to govern well.
Nationalism made true in history was that of Mother Theresa with street gerakana that come and live with the poor in India are not just a discourse, preached and gave speeches from the pulpit / lectern. But the physical evidence of the involvement of society in this case conducted a banker Muhammad Yunus of Bangladesh who developed the concept of microcredit, the development of small-scale loans to poor entrepreneurs who are unable to borrow from commercial banks. Implements this idea by Yunus founded Grameen Bank. Parliamentary and extra movement to do youth of Indonesia as a true form of nationalism, as was done by the anti-corruption activist Anna Hazare who is able to mobilize thousands of people took to the streets sitting on a hunger strike as an act of corruption in India memrangi.
The third example above figures actually provide inspiration for the youth to show his true nationalism which freed the country from colonial poverty and corruption that wrapped around, the ease with which the technology presented is actually an advantage to consolidate power and opinion penyampain even propaganda, but the time and energy that is not consumed for discourse held in social media but need to be realized as was done by the three characters Mother Theresa, Muhammad Yunus and Anna Hazare.
