Getting an education is the right of every human being because education
has a very important role for the survival and future of a person. Without
education, a person will grow into the person who is not qualified, he will
grow up to be someone who does not know the rules, their own wishes, lazy and
tend to have weak mental, does not have a positive fighting spirit that would
eventually make his way is not clear, uncontrolled and may
fall into negative things, such as drugs and alcohol which cause the wearer to
become addicted, so any way to be taken in order to get the drugs and booze. To
get the drugs and booze is not free of course, there is a price to pay. When
addicts are starting to run out of money to buy liquor drugs, gone through a
variety of ways to obtain money to buy drugs and drink, ranging from selling
items in the house until they run out and end up committing crimes ranging from
stealing to rob. Without
education, people will very easily influenced and exploited by certain parties
who want to seek personal gain, they are very easily according to the command
of the provocateurs who want to destroy the nation as rife today is terrorism
that involves a lot of young children because they are very easy provoked and brainwashed. In
addition, no human education will be very difficult to get a job because they
do not have any skills which are demanded by each agency in obtaining
employment.
Being
developed and developing nations is the dream of every country in the world. Forward
and whether or not a nation is strongly influenced by the educational factor. With
careful education, a nation would have qualified human resources and not easily
enslaved by others. Education
is a primary requirement for the peoples who want to progress and develop. Improving
the quality of education is very influential on the development of a nation. Education
we get in a family environment, school environment, and the environmental
community.

Environmental Family
Education is the education
of the child in the family. Family
education has a profound influence on the formation of character and the key
factor in shaping children to be good. A
child who was educated by his parents with great affection will feel appreciated
and needed, he will be loving family that will create conditions of mutual
respect and mutual help. The
condition is very supportive of the development of the child because the
parents are the primary role in the growth and development of children. In
the full sense of family affection, making children can develop self-esteem
because he felt appreciated, loved, and accepted as a human being. With
our valued and respected, then we can also appreciate other people. Families
who implement family education can produce a child who has a good personality. Therefore,
education in the family should be a solid foundation in building a child's
personality.
·
School Environment
The school environment is
second only to family education. Teachers
become media resources for educators and students in providing knowledge
according to their expertise. Teachers
act giving assistance, motivation, and task the child for practicing
self-discipline so that children have the responsibility to accomplish tasks. In
the school environment more emphasis on teaching discipline, responsibility,
and compliance with applicable rules and norms prevailing in society so that
children can put yourself wherever it is located and how to be good, courteous,
and polite to anyone especially to older people.
·
Community Environment
Community also has an important role for the development of the
students, because society can give you an idea of how
social life. Protégé
interact directly with the public, so that people can judge whether he is a
child educated or not educated.
With education, the knowledge embedded in the child which makes him able
to discover new things that have never been there before so it can promote
yourself and can be utilized wisely. In
addition, education can instill positive things early against students. Looking
at the current state, the young protégé as the nation's next generation are
expected to develop knowledge to keep up with other nations and that are not
easily enslaved and exploited by others.
However, education alone is
not enough just to build a qualified person. Humans
are highly educated with a genius IQ alone does not guarantee progress if the
nation does not have a good character, even may be instead used to destroy the
nation for personal gain. Without
education builds character, a person will grow up to be someone who might be
clever, but poor spiritually and emotionally. The
process of education without character development, merely as a means of
training and brain teasers, whereas moral behavior and neglected. Education
is basically aimed at helping people become smart and intelligent as well as
being a good and wise man. To
make intelligent and clever man is not a difficult thing to do, but to make
someone to be a good and wise man was not an easy thing to do, even can be said
to be very difficult.
Moral quality of today's
young generation can be said to decline, because that character education
should be organized which include moral education, values education life, religious, and moral in every
educational institution. The
character is a pattern of behavior that is individualized. According
to Williams & Schnaps (1999), the meaning of character education is a
variety of work done by the members of the school, and even performed together
with parents and the community, to help children and adolescents to have a
caring, opinionated, and responsible responsibility.
According to Lickona, there are seven reasons that character education
should be presented as follows:
1. The best way to ensure
the students have a good personality in her life
2. ways to increase the academic achievement
3. most students can not form a
strong character elsewhere
4. prepare students to respect
others and live in the community
5. originated from the moral-social
problems such as violence, sexual abuse, rudeness, dishonesty, and low work
ethic
6. best preparation to meet the
behavior in the workplace
7. teaches cultural values
Character education given to the students as the future generation leads
to respect, responsibility, honesty, caring, fair, and obedient to God
Almighty. In
other words, character education aims to form the nation's moral, noble,
spirited patriot, tough and competitive based on faith and piety to God
Almighty.
Character education is based on six ethical values called
the Six Pillars of Character Education, namely:
1. Trust
2. Respect
3. Responsibility
4. Justice
5. Care
6. Citizenship
