My name is Yudha Septian Kurniawan. Now, I
am studying at University
of Bengkulu by taking English Education Postgraduate Study Programme. I was graduated at 2014 from Institut
Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Bengkulu with the same major, English Education
Programme. When I was
undergraduate student, I was really
glad joining some organization
such as association of students. There
were some of coalescence that had followed by me. For example, I had experience
to be a leader of student compilation of Pencak Silat Rejang Pat Petulai and
association of English Student Community. Being such a leader had gave me a
worth experience that would unforgetable. Those included management of
organization in which handled lot of people who had different vision and
mision, in which develop its organization by doing some events and many more.
The important thing that I should had as a leader was selfonfidence and
speaking ability in front of many people. At the time, it was really
complicated for me in controlling them and being atractive speaker. But,
fortunately i was be able to do it time by time. By having those experiences, I
feel that I have more selftconfidence, selfcontrol and selfesteem.
I am 24 years old.
As one of young generation, I think that many ways can be followed in
order to show up our role or existence in this globalization era, especially in
nationalism such as counter terrorism. Everyone can do it even they are not volunteer
in the organization against terrorism. On the other side, I am not one of them
but I am only an English teacher for senior high school (namely SMAN 1 Bengkulu
Tengah) in Bengkulu province. Even only a teacher, I believe that I have big
chance to do my role in counter-terrorism. One of my real contribute is
teaching the student. I can teach them everything includes culture, language,
esthetic, ethic, more over about nationalism. In doing my task as a teacher, I
have the authority to teach them about the understanding of terrorism directly.
Even I am English teacher, in learning and teaching process, I am
not only might teach them
about English but also I can play my role as young generation by combining the
course among English, Islamic, and nationalism that related to the
counter-terrorism. When I was teaching them, it seems that I had great way to
put some moral value which antipodes with terrorism by conveying the materials
which is easy understood and presenting the basic knowledge about “what terrorist
is”, how to resist them, and how to defend sense of belong toward our beloved
country. Those all can be applied by bring about some activities or events like
as seminar that oppose any movement which aim to terrorism or indeed such
positive events such as charity with the objective to implant the value of
amorousness toward the birthplace.
In
my opinion, terrorism is always growing and developing in our country,
Indonesia. That is because of Indonesia which is not really care about
citizen’s awareness toward nationalism. That’s way, some group of terrorist (e.g
ISIS) can entry Indonesia easily and grow quickly. They didn’t attack us with a guns but they try to resemble the
young generation because that our country’s bright future in handed on young
generation. Why they pursue the young generation? That is because they are in changing period
that can be influenced easily by terrorist. They don’t have the aims or goals
in their life, yet. That’s why I want to concern to be a teacher who can change the condition of the
country which known that is crisis of morality. Some of Research aimed at explaining
terrorism has focused on the psychological characteristics of individual
terrorists, the nature of terrorist organizations, and the social or cultural
environments in which terrorist organizations emerge. The psychology of terrorists. In a
useful summation of the literature, Ross (a researcher that concern on
terrorism) has identified
seven psychological approaches that have been used in efforts to understand
terrorists: psychoanalytical, learning, frustration-aggression,
narcissism-aggression, trait, developmental, and motivational/rational choice.
Finding some merit in each, though none is satisfactory in itself, he proposes
an integration of their key features in a model consisting of five
"etiological features of terrorism listed in increasing order of
importance" (on his book p. 182) and it is one of reasons why I
give understanding of terrorism to my students through psychology approach in
my teaching learning proccess. John
Quincy Adams also said that If your
actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you
are a leader. —John Quincy Adams
Without the right kind of stimulus, people
produce mediocre work and drain out quickly. Some get inspired by power, some
by incentives, some by appreciation and some by interesting work. It is your
responsibility to identify specific motivation factors in your employees and
empower them. Your effort to nourish the team will also indicate that you care
for them, which in turn is a great fuel to boost productivity and loyalty.
Finally, I believe that our country will be a country that respected by
the world if young generation
in this country can gives their role as well as possible.
