Actualization of State Defense Awareness for the Young Generation in Enhancing National Resilience

Abstract

In line with the 1945 Constitution Article 27 Paragraph (3) and Article 30 Paragraph (1). Efforts to defend the country are the rights and responsibilities of every person. There are a number of violations of the law committed by young people. This study intends to study the extent to which the younger generation understands the right to defend the country, what their responsibilities are and intends to identify the level of awareness of national defense among young people as a step in maintaining national sovereignty. This study applies the literature method through observation of phenomena that have occurred, paying attention to relevant history and the current context. The findings of the study indicate that awareness of defending the country among young people is still very low, and this awareness has not been seen optimally, even becoming part of the culture of national life. This study concludes that the younger generation is involved in the law, moving away from the basic principles of Pancasila and tends to show radical behavior.
