Pancasila Ideology as the Basis for Building the Character of the Younger Generation in Indonesia

In the current era of globalization, the role of the younger generation, especially in implementing Pancasila in people's lives, has become increasingly receding, the character values of the nation have faded and even disappeared, and the morals of some of the nation's children have lost the spirit of the noble values of Pancasila. The younger generation is experiencing a socio-cultural crisis that is incarnate in the form of disintegration and dislocation. The behavioral tendencies and personalities of the younger generation are increasingly moving away from the values of Pancasila and losing one's identity as an individual rooted in the noble values of the nation's culture. Observing this tendency, building and awakening the country's character in a severe and urgent matter is necessary. This research uses sociological juridical research methods.
