In the era of the times filled with
sophisticated information and communication technologies of human behavior to
deteriorate in terms of good morals and manners. Demoralization is evidenced by
behaviors that are reflected in the attitudes, behavior, speech, dress and
mindset. If we examine in depth, it will raise the question of our minds, why
increasingly degenerate morals and behavior of young people in this age ?, if
they are not educated ?, or are they not in school ?. Those questions seemed to
illustrate that demoralization has reached alarming levels which if ignored can
continuously destroy the country and the nation.
Much of the literature which describes
about the virtues of morality before studied both from the standpoint of
science and religion. And it all becomes the premise that the main character is
a thing before humans studied. But in fact different from that of daily life.
We often see a person's character and behavior is sometimes far from both
categories and karimah. As an illustration of the need to specify a few places
where morals and behavior are not implemented properly.
Home environment
The house is one of the places where one
learns the character for the first time. Lessons derived from both parents with
a pilot technique. Parents give examples to their children's behavior and
character of the actions and attitudes are done by them. Behavior and character
portrayed by parents then automatically be replicated and eventually became one
part of the adoption by the morals of the child. Examples are imitated by the
child are taking on the role of attitude and character of the mother as
household managers. Mothers who spend more time at home to be an example that
greatly affects a child's development, good attitude, behavior, mental, and
spiritual education. There is a term which says that "Mother was the first
school" before the child enters the formal education sector in formal
educational institutions. Today many examples of cases that occur are children
kill his own mother, father or son killed himself and vice versa. There are
also cases of domestic violence either to spouses or children. This is an
example of severe cases caused by the morals and behavior are not upheld and
applied. In addition, many cases of violation of morals and behavior in small
scale as against the elderly, denied, disrespect or lack of manners, harsh
words and other misconduct committed child to parents.
School environment
School is a place of education for a child,
the school is a formal educational institutions inculcate good character and
behavior for a child. In addition to birth parents no third parent to be a
parent at the same place to gain knowledge that is teacher. Teachers are the
parents of the third for a person who should be treated the same as birth parents
in general. Teachers educate and teach students with patience and with all the
challenges faced. As a place to gain knowledge, it is proper school is a place
of investment to students of good character and behavior, and social
interaction that occurs between teacher and pupil. But in fact in violation of
school many attitudes, behavior and morals that happened that was not expected
by the teacher to pupil. Morals are not praiseworthy pupil to teacher is doing
indecency, against the teacher, and the teacher considers as ordinary people
like close friends which resulted in attitudes and behavior was equated.
Each person must have its own assessment
with regard to morals and behavior, but the behavior is commendable and good
morals necessarily everyone agreed without having given indicator, because the
behavior and good character is measured with a conscience and conscience is an
element of divinity in man which always correct.
Reprehensible morals will bring damage and
loss, especially for myself. Praiseworthy morals will make life run with
harmonious, consistent, and sustainable. Just imagine, if someone highly
knowledgeable and has great ability and outstanding in every way but besides
that morals and behaviors that are owned reprehensible and bad, it could have
the knowledge and capabilities used to harm humans, against nature, and
destroys the world , because that is the main learning more character before
man studied.
