CITIZENSHIP
A. Understanding
 According to Zamroni: "Citizenship education is a democratic education that aims
to prepare the citizens of critical thinking and act democratically.
 In general citizenship education is education that reminds us of the importance of
the rights and craftsmanship of a citizen so that every thing that is done in
accordance with the goals and ideals of the nation and does not deviate from what is
expected with the aim of becoming good citizens.
Citizenship is a person's membership in the control of a particular political unit (specifically:
the state) with which it brings the right to participate in political activities. Someone with
membership were called citizens. A citizen has the right to have a passport from the country
he owns.
Citizenship is part of the concept of citizenship. In this sense, citizens of a city or regency are
referred to as city residents or district residents, because both are also political units. In
regional autonomy, this citizenship becomes important, because each political unit will give
different (usually social) rights to its citizens.
Citizenship has similarities with nationality. The difference is the rights to be active in
politics. It is possible to have nationality without becoming a citizen (for example, legally the
subject of a country and have the right to protection without having the right to participate in
politics). It is also possible to have political rights without becoming a member of the nation
of a country.
Under the theory of social contracts, citizenship status has implications for rights and
obligations. In the philosophy of "active citizenship", a citizen is required to contribute his
ability to improve the community through economic participation, public services, voluntary
work, and various similar activities to improve the livelihoods of his community. From this
rationale, Citizenship subjects were given in schools.

C. The purpose of citizenship

According to Djahiri (1994/1995: 10) the objectives of citizenship education are as follows:
1. In general, PKn goals support the success of national education achievements
2. Specifically the aim of Civics is to foster morals that are expected and manifested in
everyday life, namely behaviors that reflect the behavior of faith and piety to God and
become civilized human beings.
While Citizenship education is given in Higher Education with the aim that students have an
insight into the awareness of the nation and state to defend the country and have a mindset,
pattern of attitude and behavior as a pattern of action that loves the country based on
Pancasila. All these things are needed so that the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia
remains intact and not divided.

combination of elements forming the national identity which include:
