POLITICAL INFLUENCE FOR SOCIETY
In terms of the origin of the word
politics is derived from the Greek language "polis" which means city
is a city, and from the word policy can be obtained some words, including:
polities (citizens), politikos (citizenship), politike episteme (political
science) and Politicia (state government). So if we review from the origin of
the word political understanding in general can be said that politics is "activity in a political system or
State concerning the process of determining the purpose of the system and how
to carry out its purpose".
Yet many versions of the political sense are:
1. Politics is the variety of activities
of a political system (state) which involves the process of determining the
objectives of the Indonesian system and implementing those goals. (Mirriam
Budiharjo)
2.
Politics is a struggle for power /
technique of exercising powers / issues of execution and control of power /
formation and use of power. (Isjwara)
3. Politics is the institutionalization
of interpersonal relations instituted in
various
political bodies both the political superstructure and political
infrastructure.
(Sri Sumantri)
4.
Politics is an effort undertaken
by citizens to realize the common good. (Aristoteles)
Looking at many versions of the political sense, then it can
be concluded briefly that "politics is a strategy / way or tactic to
achieve a certain goal."
Politics is one of the most significant
aspects in the sustainability of a country. The good and bad development of a
country depends on the political system used and the subject or perpetrator of
the political system. Often we see, people who always menggebor-peb-pebulian
political purity but in fact he is also the manipulation of purity in political
practice. This shows that in the politics of our country there is always a very
sensitive area of morality, so often the perpetrators are incapable of being
consistent with the stated purpose or principle. The positive political
influence for the community, among others:
First, the Stability of Political
Infrastructure. With the success of party politics which has been able to be
grouped socio-political forces into two Political Parties and one Working Group
can be prevented the division of the Indonesian nation both mentally
ideologically and physically into various groups. Law No. 3 of 1975 on political
parties and working groups has solidified the grouping and ended the system of
many parties in Indonesia, a condition which Indonesia has never achieved in
the past. The same is true of social organization which is also an important
component of our political infrastructure. According to Article 2 paragraph (1)
of Law no. 8 year 1985 about social organization, social organization based on
Pancasila as the only principle. Associated with the Unity of Indonesia,
Pancasila democracy requires the integration of the nation and the blood of
Indonesia, as well as demanding National identity, National personality and
National stability. National integrity and national stability is a requirement
for the realization of the power of the nation which in turn can be fostered
towards the creation of National Resilience.
Second, Supra Structure Political
Stability. With supra political structure, consisting of constitutional
institutions, namely the Supreme State institution will create stabbilitas or
steadiness because supra political structure is supported by a stable infra
political structure as well. The people, both in groups which subsequently
constitute socio-political forces, or individually can participate in
government through their representatives. Thus it means that the political
system and also the Government mechanism can fulfill its function, namely:
1.
Maintain the pattern, in the sense
of maintaining the rules, customs, norms and procedures applicable.
2. Resolving tensions, in the sense of
reconciling disagreements, conflicts and disagreements that always arise in
society in ways and procedures that can satisfy all parties at best.
3.
Adapt to changes, in the sense of
having a great adaptability to adjust to developments that occur both within
the community itself and abroad.
4.
Able to achieve National
objectives, in the sense of crystallizing the wishes of community members into
a national goal that must be achieved and determining ways to achieve goals.
Integrating, in the sense of being able to guarantee the integrity of the
social system itself.
Third, National Leadership Strong and
Authoritative. The form of a presidential central government organization is
intended to gain a strong and authoritative leadership of the government as
well as a national leader that provides a dynamic guidance to the community.
This powerful and authoritative National Leader is indispensable for
desintegrative and destructive in an intensive and constructive direction on
the basis and according to the spirit and spirit of Pancasila democracy. Often
there is a great upheaval that plagued the Indonesian people, who on the one
hand faced the situation of poverty and on the other hand experienced confusion
about identity and culture itself.
Fourth, Clean Effective and Efficient
Government. Such a government is capable of organizing democratic government,
able to improve the standard of living of the people, and able to implement a
free and active foreign policy that supports the national interest and that
contribute to world order based on independence, eternal peace and social
justice. Pancasila democracy in the field of Supra political structure
(constitutional institutions) based on the mechanism set forth in the 1945 Constitution
can create a clean, effective and efficient government. This is due to: The
existence of the control of the House of Representatives against the
government, both executive control, tax control and financial control, The
existence of unity between the leadership of the nation, government and holders
of supreme power of ABRI, which can guarantee effective and efficient
government in a strong sense able to act quickly and precisely.
Fifth, Political Awareness, National
Discipline and Social Dynamics. National political awareness and discipline is
needed to create positive, constructive and accommodative social dynamics.
Conveying opinions, controlling and using other political rights must be based
on political awareness and national discipline so as not to cause anxiety,
tension, shock and so on which in extreme circumstances can develop into social
upheaval that clearly disrupt the National Resilience in general and in the
field of politics in particular . In democracy Pancasila freedom must be
accompanied by a sense of responsibility. By implementing Pancasila democracy
and by preparing supra political structure in accordance with the spirit and
spirit of Pancasila democracy, it can be enhanced political awareness, national
discipline and social dynamics of society.
Because this political issue is a
significant problem whose solution we might not find spontaneously, but there
needs to be a deeper and more radical review and analysis in solving this
problem. There are some political problems that often occur in society,
including:
First, an unstable system of government.
When the political temperatures can not go well where the politics of politics
are chaotic, the underlying things happen is the system of government is also
chaotic, the government policies are unstable, often overlap and too many
prominent personal interests rather than the common interest to prosper the
life of the nation.
Second, Easy to be pre-location. The
emergence of much upheaval or unrest both personally and organization, because
it feels that their interests should be prioritized rather than other
interests, issues that have not been properly verified because of the less
stable conditions so quickly responded and responded with negative judgments.
Third, the level of people's trust in the
government declined. The public prefers to believe what they see than what the
political elite reveals that the level of public confidence declines,
eventually ignoring what the government decides for the benefit of the nation,
for example: fuel is increased with the aim of citizens who can afford to buy
Non-subsidized fuel but in fact many luxury cars are still using subsidized
fuel.
Fourth, Suffering for the people. The
unstable situation of the situation affects all sectors of the nation's
economy, and as a result the rising prices of basic commodities without
offsetting a good inflationary value, results in an increase in the suffering
of the people, which leads to an increase in unemployment rate with increasing
poverty, due to the inability to follow the economic turmoil tall one.
Political aspect is one aspect that will
determine the progress of a country, in addition to economy and military. Many
countries in the world that later became a large and growing country because of
its agility in politics, such as the US that we may all have believed in
political agility. All policies that the US does, will in any way affect the
policies of other countries in the world, be they policy in the economic,
social, cultural, and military. We see the reality that exists, the US today
becomes a country that has universal political power. In the economic field,
its capitalist system is used and adopted by almost all countries of the world.
Then its political system, its military, etc. Almost every country in the world
try to apply in its country life system. What about our country? Undoubtedly, a
country that is said to be a diverse country whether it varies in the form of
ethnies, cultures, languages, religions, etc. Its diversity greatly influences
the political ethics of the country. How not, those who later dabbled in the
political world with the aim of bringing change to Indonesia, but in fact when
the opportunity he gained that goal seemed erased by the existing system, and
the majority of them wanted change only to facilitate political interests for
his group. Most of them can not defend the idealism they want to achieve. In a
short sense, the absence of consistency from the culprit. Again this shows that
in politics there is a very sensitive area of morality, and its sensitivity
can be caused by the practice of manipulation that has become the tradition of
our founding fathers, money laundry practices that are now booming discussed, KKN which has become custom, Money Politic,
etc. However, here we are not entitled and less wise if we judge political
actors with a negative predicate, because many of them are then struggling to
change and bring changes and reforms in the political system in our country.
