CHARACTER EDUCATION TO BUILD A NATION CIVILITY

Venturing into this paper, we presumably should give "meaning" is more about the major themes raised at the National Education Day event in 2010 that "Character Education to Build the Nation of civility". Because the world of education is expected as a driving force to facilitate the development of character, so that community members have the awareness of national and state a harmonious and democratic with due regard to the joints of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (NKRI) and social norms in society that has become the collective agreement .
"Where you come from is not important, your body size is not important, important enough Your brain size, the size of your heart that's very important" because the brain (mind) and heart moving the hearts of the most powerful person is "spoken word and act" Listen, study, and ponder to myself whether it has adequate "vehicle" provide learning opportunities for students to multiple intelligences are able to develop attitudes; honesty, integrity, commitment, discipline, visionary, and self-reliance.

History provides a very valuable lesson, what a difference, contradiction, and that's real exchange of ideas that take us to the gates of independence. Through the debate we learned a lot, how tolerance and openness of the Founders of this Republic in the received opinion, and a variety of criticisms at the time. Through the exchange of ideas that we can also look at how strong the desire of the nation's leaders to unite in a single national identity, so that the differences are not an issue for them.

Because of that character education must be excavated from the foundation Pancasila ideal rights, and constitutional basis of the 1945 Constitution. History of Indonesia shows that in 1928, pledges "Youth Pledge" confirms the determination to build Indonesia's national. They vowed to the nation, landed the water, and speaking one of Indonesia. When choosing the form of an independent unitary state. Both of these historical events that indicate a need to reflect the existence of socio-political character of such pluralism. Historical and socio-cultural reality is further strengthened through the symbol means "Bhineka Tunggal Ika" at the state emblem of Indonesia.

From where to start learning character values ​​of the nation, from informal education, and in parallel continue informal and nonformal education. Challenges today and into the future how we are able to put character education as the nation's strength. Therefore, implementation of policies and character-based education becomes very important and strategic in order to build this nation. This course also requires the support of institutions conducive political, social, and cultural nation.

"Character Education to Build a civilized Nation", is the wisdom of keaneragaman cultural values ​​and social life. Wisdom is soon appear, if someone opens themselves to live a life together by looking at the reality of the plural is happening. Therefore, education must be placed in the right position, especially when dealing with conflict based on race, ethnicity and religion. Character education is not just a discourse but a reality of its implementation, not just words but actions and not a symbol or a slogan, but partisanship is smart to build civilized nation Indonesia. Final message of this paper, give the best service to the Teachers and Education Personnel so that the community realized that "civilized" that implements the noble values ​​of the Indonesian nation ........ Habituation to behave courteously and peace is our resolve once refreksi of independence, remains independent.
