my 1st reflective essay Posted by : Fredy Takalamingan

        Great nation is the nation who love their heroes. I known this slogan when I was child. What do I want tell about it ? When we see what happen today in our Nation – Indonesia  - (in newspaper, television, internet)we can saw many hardeness in our country. Some example, we can found in Lampung, Makassar, Poso. What happen Indonesia? Where is our moral value? Where is spirit of Bhineka Tunggal Ika?

       Indonesia is a archipelago country. Indonesia has many ethnic group. Each ethnic has own specific culture. This is one of source from cleavage. We can saw what happen in Lampung. Cleavage between local people and bali etnic. This riot was happen because simple problem. But, what we saw in televison. We feel sad. Many people lost their property, they feel fear every day, many children can’t study. Although this cleavage was stop it made Indonesia think again.

        The 2nd source can make cleavage in Indonesia is religion. Some people in some place in this country was clash because it. We can saw in Poso and Ambon. Every religion teach about love. But, some people use it to make disorder. 

        What should we do? We are the next generation for this nation. We must fight this source of cleavage. We must make Indonesia better. What should we do to make this hope? We aren't easy provocate. We must think with cold head and don't forget about our culture (tolerance, the way of peace to solve problem). We must try, because the future of Indonesia in our hand.
