Nation Degrading Work Ethos

Sunday, May 22, 2011


The behavior of a nation is not created in a short time, but is formed during the year through culture and education.
The nation is again slumped in the small portrait in the arena of sports XXIII SEA Games which ended Monday (5 / 12) in Manila. In the big picture, this nation called the nation who behave do not appreciate the process, do not like hard work, but like almost instantaneous. Why did all that could happen?
Look at the condition of higher education that has long suffered an "accident". As many as 99 percent of teachers are themselves graduates who took the S2 and S3 in the country. Most of them then teach and test.
Meanwhile absorption student against her professor fed subjects that only 20-30 percent. This situation is exacerbated by the behavior of the majority of students who do not enjoy reading books. Though the book is a window of the world.
A panelist who devoted most of his life in college observed, both lecturers and students no longer respect the discipline. Before the 1970s or in the days of Sukarno, this attitude is still good, in the sense that they know discipline. Why so, because the lessons from the Japanese and Dutch still dripping to the leaders of the nation at that time.
However, since the 1970's superior behavior began to decline. They are getting lazy and lazy disciplined work. Both students and lecturers are often absent. According to his research, teaching for 40 years not one student ever attended a class each week in one complete semester.
"Most student attendance is only 10 times in one semester. And I've been doing the warning, sarcasm or anger, and so on, not ignored, "he complained. That is, impulse laze among the academic community is very strong. Worst of all, the lecturers themselves also like to skip.
Common symptoms are found not only among colleges, but schools spread to low-and middle. There is a perception that after high school and enter college, they all can live freely. Want to come to college, like skipping, no nothing. It's very surprising, the symptoms that thrives when the country built under the New Order.
Similarly, employee behavior in college was supposed to come at 07.00, generally come in at 09.00. If we're talking about class schedules, no lecturers who will teach at 07.00. I wish they taught in over at 09:00 or 10:00. When the panelists are taught on schedule at 07:00, from 50-80 students who arrive on time only 10 people.
In her experience, after an hour, they entered one by one. The entry is also unique, open the door immediately after the sitting. Nothing to apologize for the delay. They think, this lecture our rights, so free like college or not. Furthermore, in general they do not want to study hard and do not enjoy reading books.
"Once when I check my diktat that has been distributed. It's really surprising, I see it is very clean dictate. There is no record of him so much that exam time can not be answered. In fact everything is on diktat, "he said.

Education antikerja
An analysis of the behavior of people in the developed states, the majority of everyday people to follow the basic principles of life. For example, the value of ethics, honesty and integrity, responsibility, respect for the rule of law and society, respect for the right person / other people, love at work, trying desperately to save and invest, work hard until the right time.
The students in developed countries learn to call it work. In the United States, for example, if a student said, I must to work, it means learning or college. However, in this republic of the students do not think so. Once a minister of education stated, children prefer the school, but do not like working. Unfortunately, the curriculum, ranging from elementary school through college, impressed the anti-labor.
In the curriculum, course manual work almost never existed. Fact that there continues to be deleted is recommended. In the past this type of curriculum which entered the Dutch colonial government. The former colony countries, starting in the 1970s, later replaced with the official name of the skill or the craft of fine arts. Ever Teachers' Training College in discussions throughout Indonesia, field craft skills are separated from the fine arts.
At the time of the New Ode, all the media newspapers, television, radio and so forth publicize that distinction. So the school was only for mental labor, not physical labor. Once there was a lesson cubits work. But then should not be used by students to do anything that produces nothing.
Yang said that the lessons of art and feet work in schools should be free to express. He said that important is not the result, but the process, while no matter what the outcome. The process of feeling free that means haphazard work of art in craft lessons and so forth.
Among the public there is a relationship between human dignity and manual labor. The more manual labor that the lower the human dignity. More and less manual labor or no manual labor, the higher dignity. Work intellectual or mental work, such as studying science, theory, philosophy, a lot of demand because of the higher dignity.
However, the physical work because dignity is only slightly lower. Physical work was not only considered to be low, but also an ordinary working people. It's working poor, while working people who are not so obliged to distance themselves from the manual, from the physical.
The situation is similar to the Greeks and Romans first. In ancient Greece is all that is physical manual labor is not considered dignified. Low value
Ironically, education in the republic also "hostile" market-oriented programs. A number of design experts have complained about the behavior on campus that are not market friendly. They feel depressed because if a market-oriented design is considered low. Nice and appreciated if the design is made of classical or scientific nature.
This situation is different abroad. In developed countries almost all students work. That does not work only Indonesian student who happened to scholarships from the government. In fact they can be calm to work in a library such as preparing a book that physically do not want to Indonesian students.
"In the U.S., regular S3 students chatting, at last summer he would work as a contractor build a bridge. They do not know that we consider it low. In my heart, how American students willing to work as doctoral level, "the panelists reveal their experiences. Likewise, Korean students when off, nothing works as a gardener, who is generally disliked by the Indonesian students.
The nation is considered the work that has low value. This means that the work load, work was a necessity, the work was an ordeal. Indonesian Human generally dream to live happy, comfortable life, without working. So who produce food and so forth? As in ancient Greece, so low people, the commoners it. They are told to work, produce rice, for example.
The highest value is life happy. Happy life means a lot of money. How to create wealth without working a lot, yes that corruption ....
