Bhineka Tunggal Ika : Indonesian Motto of Life about (Unity in Diversity) in the Globalization Era

Indonesian country is a great nation . Indonesian has hundreds of tribes and languages, thousands of islands , and the diverse customs all of whichis a strange of the nation’s capital. Hundreds of  island with dozen million of people make Indonesia archipelago be the greatest in the world. Being a great archipelago country give benefits Indonesian people including in terms of natural resources. Indonesian’s island scattered of Sabang until Merauke give much supply of natural resources very beneficial for fulfillment living needs of the people.

Flora and fauna being diversified, not a few others are endemic flora, fauna getting add list wealth earth Indonesia, that used as fullfilment their needs, artistry, and means learning,  that if maintained very useful in the future our grandchildren. Its not only up there, still many wealth earth Indonesia involuntarily has we use in life day-to-day.

Not only buminya the rich, Indonesian people also very rich in diversity culture. the sorts of kinds tribe, language, race, ethnic, and religious coexistent in this country. Many culture that made Indonesia were famous for its national culture really unique.  this diversity can be a nation power source  if managed well. But was unfortunate never culture being diverse and unique that would coexist with harmonious forever.

Over time the culture of Indonesia can be a threat internal for national security. why it can  be happen? The big differences if not followed with harmony and attitude be earned respect with each other could become an early not the peacefull this country. discord between communities a mutually maintain culture  make the breaking up of unity in community until  clashes between the groups who based distinction SARA.

Because of that required an unifying nation instrument  that can be used to guarantee peace and protection of unity in Indonesia. Nation leaders certainly had devised and forming an instrument that can be used as an instrument of unifying nations. A unifying this people shall meet some condition. One of them is the devices must be applied at all times and age of as well as can be adjusted by means of view and lifestyle people of Indonesia at that time. Until eventually tercetuslah Bhineka Tunggal Ika in the case, a watchword that are found on the foot of an emblem of our country, the grip of Garuda Pancasila.

The history of the formation of a Bhineka Tunggal Ika very long. Starts when Bhineka Tunggal Ika into a limited discussion between Muhammad Yamin, I Gusti Sugriwa, and Soekarno in  trial BPUPKI about 2,5 months before proklamasi the independence of Indonesia. Even Bung Hatta alone suggest that Bhineka Tunggal Ika is Soekarno creation after independence. After a few years when designing an emblem of the Republic of Indonesia in the Garuda Pancasila birds watchword Bhineka Tunggal Ika inserted into it.

Bhineka Tunggal Ika is the motto of the Indonesian people, emblematize a unity development over many differences. Indonesian live many centuries companionship with diversity and difference. Bhineka Tunggal Ika indirectly many assist Indonesia in maintaining national unity. The world community life which is very fast definitely affected again to Indonesian public life in a general sense is also part of the world community.

In its development of Indonesian people homogeny interact with the community of the hemisphere world and other areas. From interaction the came up with a commingling until culture that they tell and sustain slowly land start terpengaruhi other cultures. The more cultural affected and affecting make Indonesian culture progressively more increasingly diverse.

As we know, in the globalization now many done cultural introduction the regional and state who makes culture of Indonesian being famous in international . But was unfortunate, as many culture preservation effort , many also indifferent people with their culture nation. This caused many cultural Indonesia at the claim by the other state. Although cultural at the claim is not culture of the tribe of our nation, but no harm if we protect the cultural. Needed high awareness for every individual to be fit and to conserves and protects Indonesian cultures. All cultures owned by Indonesian is national assets that when guarded will be an asset wealth everlasting the Indonesian nation.

Without us realize, our unity we started to fade away along with their faded national culture. The less culture that we have, also differences the less we have. Whether this will take effect  good or is otherwise? May have been partly will say this will affect good because it will be more easily in regulating people to unite until a goal. But in the difference we can learn a lot of things one of them is the attitude of mutual respect that can awoke with a developed that they can be a source of power to resist swift development age.

If we had few differences, everyone will feel no need to keep and  proud the culture. Because they think others have culture in common with them so they do not need to fuss  preserve the cultural because of course, there are other people would do that. If only one two people that thinks like it is not too impact for union of nations but what happens if everyone having similar thoughts? It's confirmed everyone will be not care with cultural and other people.

This is where the power Bhineka Tunggal Ika in an age of globalization in test. Bhineka Tunggal Ika should be able to maintain unity Indonesian though many differences and issue that must face of keberagamaan and culture. Strong advisability Bhineka Tunggal Ika in facing global challenges it certainly not only determined from objectivity Bhineka Tunggal Ika as a motto life Indonesian itself but also must in help by all Indonesian people. but another problem arises from this global process.

Probably many people not realizes how easy global issues affecting culture and behavior the world community, so different publics can have the same characteristics  each other. Influence globalization currently causing the Indonesian nation to have many retrogression in the unity. The reason was imbalance social, economic gap, and Indonesian political conditions  is not stable cause Indonesian people growing into the people apathetic against the government.

Not to mention the classic problem a trivial but make  serious impact like care of yourself than general interest, that can break of unity and unity Indonesia. This is why make a coordination of Indonesian people to keep nation culture as a form of devotion to Pancasila is so hard. But as a good citizen we should not pessimistic and breaking of spirit. Watchword Bhineka Tunggal Ika which means different but remained one, forever will remain relevant to accompaniment life state in the land which multicultural, because composition of Indonesian people  will hold diverse until the time.

Deprive conflict distinction especially in Indonesia's one thing approaching "impossible". Conflict difference is a thing which will inevitably happen in our society homogeny this. Things could still to we do is meminimalkanya. And how are we to minimize flict might happen this? One of them is an effort to reduce ego. several education curriculum in Indonesia about implementation already be taught to protege. This value should embedded in  sons child mind  while they are still sat in the school so that when they arrived in community certainly more homogeneous, child can put ego them right.

And the main case is apply the practice of virtue Pancasila and watchword "Bhineka Tunggal Ika". In applying practices virtue Pancasila and "Bhineka Tunggal Ika" of course we must have ideals oriented to sila- sila Pancasila that is, realization of peace, justice, and brotherhood social, anti conflict, violence, discriminating, strength and nation integrity and royalitas in sacrifice to country. It is a future goal that we have to hold fast so as to minimize the occurrence of conflict difference that is particularly vulnerable to in this country.

But one of the most first and included in minimizing conflict difference  is very serious intention, strong determination,  principled and consistent in managing what is in yourself. This is started  for us to help keep our nation security and peace.

Basically the difference always in various colors and it is a challenge in forming integrity of the nation. We cannot deny this instinctive process. Differences will cause disintegritas nations. But it is a road to be passed from zero to achieve large goals for our nation. The way we should go actually will not easy but with the union spirit our people can through well. For lead a great nation and having integrity / (unity a full), we must able to survive under all challenges facing happened.

So, as the Indonesian people who loving our nation, we gotta be made what we have as a source of power to resist progress of date. Although we have is the differences, no harm if it be complexity life that forms a good cause namely unity and ketenagan life.

Bhineka Tunggal Ika as a tool of nations protection should can be triggering the spirit to maintain national unity. No only make it a words meaning full but not producing anything. We as rakyat Indonesia has main implementation  as destination the supposed to give best for this country. The abundant wealth not matter if used only as a means of boast. Unity of Indonesian standing on cultural diversity can become a invaluable thing now, tomorrow or in the future.
