SOCIAL CARE FOR TEENAGER
Ladies and gentleman
Human beings like what we have seen that they
were created by God each with different characters. But all of them were not
created without any purposes, of course. The differences in the character of
each person give us a lesson that not always something which is different
cannot unite. The differences make us learn how to socialize, and how we respect
each other. Even sometimes that’s precisely has brought the unity of things.
The differences in human beings characters also show us that not all of the characters
that have been created by God are good. Often we hear about someone who
committed a crime such as miser, arrogant, ruthless, and dishonest or maybe for
a simpler example such as cheating during exams, saying lie, doing arrogance
and many other you can find. The characters mentioned above are called by the bad
characters. Those characters should be fixed. So that is why today we often
hear a variety of character education efforts, right?
The word Character education is consisting of
character and education. Before I try to explain what Character Education is,
first we have to know the meaning of that each word. Character is psychological
traits, morals and manner in someone who can distinguish one person to others,
while education is a process that individuals use to acquire knowledge or
insight, also to develop attitudes and skill. So, we can conclude that
character education is a conscious effort to instill values, morals, and
manners for someone so it can appear in the real life where its purpose is to
form an intrinsic value that would be the attitude and behavior of someone. If
we study deeply about the meaning of character education we will see that
character education is really important for our life.
In
schools, education is given to maximize the skills and cognitive abilities. Without
realizing there are other things that are not less important has been
overlooked, that is providing character education. Why the character education
is important for our life? Since it is balance of affective skills and the cognitive
ones. Some of the fact that we often encounter with, a wealthy businessman who
is not just a philanthropist, a politician does not even care about the
starving neighbor, or a teacher who’s not concerned to see the poor children
who do not get the opportunity to learn in school. It is evidence of the lack
of balance between the cognitive and character education.
