ENGLISH DEBATE COMPETITION 2022

GOVERNMENT (FACE TO FACE LEARNING IS A MUST FOR SCHOOL

EDUCATION)

Prime Minister (1st Speaker)

Face to face is a meeting that you have with someone in which you talk to

them directly, not by phone, email, online, etc. Learning is

the activity of obtaining knowledge. School is a place where children go to be

educated or a place that teaching and learning activites which happen or a place

where people can study a particular subject. Education is

the process of teaching or learning in a school. Face to face learning is the

traditional way of instruction, where students and teachers attend in person session

at the same time.

This house believes that, face to face learning is a must for school education.

The first and most important reason is to immediately hold face-to-face learning is

for effective learning so that the students can effectively absorb learning materials.

Face to face learning is a must for school education. In group learning it is

not easy for the students to ignore instructor and even if they are not listening to

the instructor they can learn something from the group. Interaction is the main

element that is present in the face to face learning and socialism is also increased.

Face to face learning allows students to clear up all the misunderstandings that

student has about a topic at the run time. In face to face learning, practices are

performed which allows students to learn more quickly and allows instant feedback

of the progress. Face to face learning allows collaborative learning. Collaboration

and face to face learning not only speeds up the process of learning and achieving

our goals, but the actual process of compromising and debating issues in a group
environment is invaluable training for a real-life career situation. Face to face

learning is always memorable and is remembered. It means the students can

remember the situation when they are learning together with teachers and their

friends directly. Based on the situation, the students can easily remember the

lesson when they are learning together. There is also has a class room where there

is a timetable and calendar set for activities and due to these activities students

remain active. Because of that it can make easily for students and teacher to learn

and teach properly. In face to face learning, students have classmates and school

friends and teachers which assist them and help them with their learning. In face to

face learning, students take social advantages of social interaction among other

people which are from different background and have different culture. Face to

face learning is very different from learning through others. The students can meet

the teachers directly. Having to go to class with a teacher is livelier compared to

reading bunch of papers.

Here our team as a government team will explain some reasons why we

support the motion. There are 5 reasons why face to face learning is a must for

school education. They are more controlled and more focus, easier interaction and

communication, easy in charachter assessment, practical is easier and more

effective, and the last one is reducing obstacles to growth. I will explain one reason

to support our team.

1. More Controlled and More Focus

Face to face learning helps teacher to control their students easier. When

face to face learning is not a must for school education will make a lot of students

stressed and difficult to focus. They are much distracted by the home environment.

In addition, students who are not fully supervised by their parents will be prone to

not really study seriously. While, with face to face learning, teachers have access
to supervise students directly. Students can also be more easily monitored and

controlled. Students can think more focus if they are in the classroom setting. They

can think more of their lesson than when they are not in the classroom. Sometimes,

the students have difficulties internalizing the topic if not face to face learning

process. That’s why make some student not focus on their lesson. When face to

face learning happen, the teachers can manage their topics very well so the

students can more focus on their lesson. There is no problem of omission of some

of the topics.

If face to face learning is not a must for school education, it will be very

vulnerable to making students unfocused. For example, if no one is watching or

controlling, the students will play games, watch YouTube, discrated by social

media and other activities that are not related to learning. If students do not have

the values of independence and responsibility, it will be difficult to focus on

learning which tends to be boring. In addition, it will also break the concentration

of children because they are vulnerable to interference from others like family

members. So far, the most ideal place and conditions for the implementation of

teaching and learning activities are still in schools which are specifically

designated places for learning where students and teacher can meet directly. So,

face to face learning is a must for school education.

Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)

Thank you for the time that given to me. I as second speaker will explain

why we support the motion today. Before that, my friend as first speaker has

explained one reason. Here, I will continue the next reasons to support our team. I

will explain three reasons. They are easier interaction and communication, easy in

character assessment and practical is easier and more effective. So, let’s see

together.
2. Easier Interaction and Communication

Doing face to face learning makes the interaction and communication among

students and teachers are easier. When face to face learning is not a must for

school education, the communication and interaction among teachers and students

as well as among students is hampered and does not run optimally. Sometimes, the

students can feel lonely because there is no interaction physically with teachers and

friends. Of course this can eliminate the closeness and natural communication

process among teachers and students, especially with regard to the process of

delivering the lesson. Interaction among students and teacher is clear and accurate.

The students can interact with each other and can ask direct questions from the

teacher. The students can interact with each other without any hindrance or

barricade. Questions are not difficult to answer since they can help each other

within the class. The memories that each student share together is real.

3. Easy in Character Assessment

One aspect that is difficult to teach and identify when implementing the

teaching and learning activity is related to students’ character. Ideally, to measure

the character of students, it should be by interacting and analyzing directly. In

addition, the most important thing about character education is related to

exemplary. Therefore, it is necessary to practice and analyze directly from the

teacher in order to really understand the character and attitude of each student.

Here, making easily for teachers to know who are their students. The presence of a

teacher with classmates is different. It involves the mental and emotional aspect of

the students. Students can grow more within a group of people to learn together.

4. Practical is Easier and More Effective

Doing face to face learning makes the practical is easier and more effective.

The teacher can provide the assignments that can measure each competency
optimally. This is also when the teacher has to give practical assignments and

projects. The teacher must ensure that what is made or the results of the practicum

done is the work of the students. In addition, if there is no face to face learning

makes the teachers feel difficult to supervise. It also will be difficult to evaluate the

performance of each student. It is different when the learning is done face-to-face.

The practicum and assignment processes are also easier to prepare, organize, and

assess because they are seen directly by the teacher. In the end, the assessment

process carried out is also more measurable and effective. This is because the

assessment involves all aspects, including performance, activity, creativity, and the

work or practice of each student.

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)

Thank you for the time that given to me. I as third speaker will explain why

we support the motion today. Before that, my friend as first and second speakers

have explained four reasons. Here, I will continue the last reason to support our

team. It is reducing obstacles to growth. Let’s see together.

5. Reducing Obstacles to Growth

Differences in access and quality create gaps in learning achievement,

especially for children (in the kindegarten and elementary school) from different

socio-economic backgrounds. If no face-to-face learning can be a risk long-term

learning both cognitively and character development. Social interaction is a very

important aspect in one’s growth. It is very nice to socialalize with friends and

classmates in school. When face to face learning happen, the students not stress

because they interact with their friends and play in the school environment.

Face to face learning is a must for school education. In group learning it is

not easy for the students to ignore instructor and even if they are not listening to
the instructor they can learn something from the group. Interaction is the main

element that is present in the face to face learning and socialism is also increased.

Face to face learning allows students to clear up all the misunderstandings that

student has about a topic at the run time. In face to face learning, practices are

performed which allows students to learn more quickly and allows instant feedback

of the progress. Face to face learning allows collaborative learning. Collaboration

and face to face learning not only speeds up the process of learning and achieving

our goals, but the actual process of compromising and debating issues in a group

environment is invaluable training for a real-life career situation. Face to face

learning is always memorable and is remembered. It means the students can

remember the situation when they are learning together with teachers and their

friends directly. Based on the situation, the students can easily remember the

lesson when they are learning together. There is also has a class room where there

is a timetable and calendar set for activities and due to these activities students

remain active. Because of that it can make easily for students and teacher to learn

and teach properly. In face to face learning, students have classmates and school

friends and teachers which assist them and help them with their learning. In face to

face learning, students take social advantages of social interaction among other

people which are from different background and have different culture. Face to

face learning is very different from learning through others. The students can meet

the teachers directly. Having to go to class with a teacher is livelier compared to

reading bunch of papers.

Government Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

Thank you so much for the time that given to me. I am going to conclude the

statements that support our team. Face to face learning is a must for school

education. The first and most important reason is to immediately hold face-to-face
learning is for effective learning so that the students can effectively absorb learning

materials.

Our team as a government have explained some reasons why we support the

motion. There are 5 reasons why face to face learning is a must in school

education. The first is they are more controlled and more focus. When face to face

learning is not a must for school education will make a lot of students stressed and

difficult to focus. The second is easier interaction and communications. Doing face

to face learning the interaction and communication between students and teachers

is easier. The students can interact with each other and can ask direct questions

from the teacher. The third is easy in charachter assessment. One aspect that is

difficult to teach and identify when implementing the teaching and learning

activity is related to students’ character. Ideally, to measure the character of

students, it should be by interacting and analyzing directly. Practical is easier and

more effective. The fourth is doing face to face learning makes the practical is

easier and more effective. The teacher can provide the assignments that can

measure each competency optimally, and the last one is reducing obstacles to

growth. We conclude that face to face learning is a must in school education. As

we know face to face learning there is a classroom where there is a timetable and

calendar set for activities and due to these activities students remain active. In face

to face learning students have classmates and school friends and teachers which

assist them and help them with their learning. Face to face learning is always

memorable and is remembered. In face to face learning students take social

advantages of social interaction among other people which are from different

background and have different culture.


OPPOSITION (FACE TO FACE LEARNING IS A MUST FOR SCHOOL

EDUCATION)

Leader of Opposition (1st Speaker)

Face to face is a meeting that you have with someone in which you talk to

them directly, not by phone, email, online, etc. Learning is

the activity of obtaining knowledge. School is a place where children go to be

educated or a place that teaching and learning activites which happen or a place

where people can study a particular subject. Education is

the process of teaching or learning in a school. Face to face learning is the

traditional way of instruction, where students and teachers attend in person session

at the same time.

We don’t agree with the motion for debating today. Face to face learning is

not a must for school education. As we know, education is more than the

acquisition of knowledge. Improving young people’s or students’ understanding,

skills, values and personal development can significantly enhance learning and

achievement. When face to face learning is not happen, it is not an end in itself;

rather, we see it as a vehicle to develop the capacity to learn. It provides a

framework for learning that uses surroundings and communities. This enables

young people or the students to construct their own learning and live successfully

in the world that surrounds them. Our brain also works and the different ways in

which we prefer to learn.

It can lead to a deeper understanding of the concepts that span traditional

subject boundaries and which are frequently difficult to teach effectively when face

to face learning. It provides a context for learning in many areas: general and

subject based knowledge; thinking and problem-solving skills; life skills such as
co-operation and interpersonal communication. Giving the students responsibility

for achieving these outcomes helps them to learn from their successes and failures

The students not only learn because of face to face learning method. What

the students see, hear, taste, touch, smell and do give them six main pathways to

learning. In addition, young people or the students are intensely curious and should

be given the opportunity to explore the world around them. The students also can

build bridges between theory and reality, schools and communities, the students

and their futures. The students need to be engaged with learning to absorb the

lessons. Otherwise, they can become distracted, disrupting everyone when face to

face learning in school. Quality learning experiences in ‘real’ situations have the

capacity to raise achievement across a range of subjects and to develop better

personal and social skills.

Here our team as opposition team will explain some reasons why we don’t

support the motion. There are 7 reasons why face to face learning is not a must for

school education. They are variations in learning style, study in the open or a

comfortable place to study, reduce accommodation costs, having much time with

family, setting their own time, study with flexible and effective time and student

centered.

1. Variations in Learning Styles

In teaching and learning activities in the classroom, students tend to be faced

with repetitive situations. It means the same and similar from day to day. The

condition to absorb the lesson of each student are different.That’s why face to face

learning is not a must for school education.

The students can choose their own variety of styles and ways of learning.

Some of them are easier to remember the subject matter by listening. Others need
illustrations, while there are also students who tend to keep moving during

learning. It's good to keep them comfortable with their respective learning styles.

2. Study in the open or a comfortable place to study

The habit of studying in a closed place or in a room makes the students

easily bored in learning and does not get a new atmosphere. If face to face learning

is not a must for school education, the students will not feel bored and can even

find new inspiration to do assignments. Sometimes, no face to face learning makes

the students to be more attentive and therefore have a better recollection of the

information that was shared. When the students study in comfortable place not in

the classroom, they decreases stress, helps elevate mood and help with emotion.

The students can more physically active because they can more explore what they

want to do. Sometimes, when face to face learning, the students afraid to their

teachers. That’s why they can’t explore more. They also can motivate to work

together in groups, which can improve their social skills. They learn to manage the

conflicts, communicate, and cooperate with their peers in a more effective manner.

It is extremely important that the students should experience the world beyond the

classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development, whatever

their age, ability or condition.

Deputy of Opposition (2nd Speaker)

3. Reduce accommodation costs

Face to face learning is not a must for school education. This is because

information is obtained from various places without having to come to school. The

students can reduce the cost. When they come to school for face to face learning,

they will use the transportation. As we know that the students’ house is far from
school. They use the transportation every day when they went to school. When at

school, they need to buy a meal or a drink.

4. Having much time with family

Spending time with family can never be a luxury but a necessity. You need

to spend time with your family to strengthen the relationships. Moreover, the

students will learn to respect the sacrifices, show affection towards each other and

grow up into healthy individuals. Spending time with family will make the students

realize that the family will always be there for them. For example, if the student is

being bullied at school, they might open up to their family, if the family sits with

them every day, asks them about their day, talk to them and make them feel

comfortable. But if the families do not give them their time, the students would

never know that they are able to come to the families in times of trouble. The

students need to feel safe and secure at home.

Lessens the generation gap. The students and their parents might drift apart

because of the generation gap. Spending quality time will decrease this gap and

also create a friendly space, where the students can talk without hesitation, and the

parents listen without being judgmental. Family time is the best time to discuss

such incidents and teach the students about virtues like honesty, integrity, and

social responsibility. This would make them know what is right and wrong. The

next time when they face an ethical dilemma, they will know what to do. When the

students feel valued at home, they are likely to be confident.

5. Setting their own time

Especially at this time, technology and science have developed rapidly. This

makes it easier for the students to continue learning even if there is no teacher.

Although it looks difficult, it turns out that there are benefits when self-taught. The

students need to design their own education. This means giving students “space” to
set their own learning result. Students should be able to see the consequence of

their activities.

When no face to face learning, the activities provide direct and relevant

experiences that deepen and the students can enrich learning. The students are no

longer need to wait for anyone to accompany them to study. The students have to

do everything by themselves, starting from looking for materials and then studying

difficult materials. This is what will make the students an independent person.

Shape yourself to be better, but provide a new and more creative perspective. The

students also become brave to face problems in a different and wiser way. Of

course it must have started from the curiosity about something deep, right? By self-

taught, the students are required to continuously hone their curiosity. It's not

strange isn't it; if you become more caring and curious about all the things you

want to learn.

Opposition Whip (3rd Speaker)

6. Study with Flexible and Effective Time

With the limited face-to-face time at school, it is not enough for students to

be given learning experiences only at face-to-face learning. There is still a lot of

time outside of school that can be used for learning experiences. This can be used

to provide independent assignments that students can do individually. The task can

be in the form of environmental research, a simple project, an experiment in the

natural environment, or a portfolio.

7. Student Centered

Face-to-face learning with lecturing method is widely used by teachers,

because it is easier to implement and faster to catch up with the content of the

curriculum. Teachers simply convey information from textbooks and modules that
contain content orally for students to hear in class. All class activities are centered

on the teacher, all students are silent and only the teacher's voice can be heard in

the classroom. Students often feel bored and bored. Students only get the

experience of hearing and seeing the information conveyed from the teacher's

without any experience of elaboration and synchronization. Students can only

recognize the content presented from listening and have difficulty in applying it as

self-competence. Traditional “teacher-centered” classrooms are sometimes

criticized as too rigid to meet the needs of a diverse population of students who

inevitably are at varying levels of ability, learn best in different ways, and have

different interests. By comparison, in student-centered learning environments,

teachers focus more on guiding.

In a student-centered learning environment, students are given choices of

how and what they learn, based on the theory that students thrive when they can

see a direct connection between the instructional material on the one hand and their

own interests and real-world experiences on the other. So, the students can

remember easily about the lesson that they look for or that they learn by their own

self.

Opposition Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

Face to face learning is the traditional way of instruction, where students and

teachers attend in person session at the same time. We don’t agree with the motion

for debating today. Face to face learning is not a must for school education. The

students not only learn because of face to face learning method. What the students

see, hear, taste, touch, smell and do give them six main pathways to learning. In

addition, the students are intensely curious and should be given the opportunity to

explore the world around them. The students also can build bridges between theory

and reality, schools and communities, the students and their futures.
There are 7 reasons why face to face learning is not a must for school

education. Firstly, variations in learning style. The students can choose their own

variety of styles and ways of learning. Some of them are easier to remember the

subject matter by listening. Others need illustrations, while there are also students

who tend to keep moving during learning. It's good to keep them comfortable with

their respective learning styles. Secondly, study in the open or a comfortable place

is not a must for school education, the students will not feel bored and can even

find new inspiration to do assignments. Thirdly, reduce accommodation costs.

Information is obtained from various places without having to come to school. The

students can reduce the cost. Fourthly, having much time with family. The students

will learn to respect the sacrifices, show affection towards each other and grow up

into healthy individuals. Spending time with family will make the students realize

that the family will always be there for them. Fifthly, setting their own time. This

makes it easier for you to continue learning even if there is no teacher. Although it

looks difficult, it turns out that there are benefits when self-taught. The students

need to become the architects of their own education. Next is study with flexible

and effective time and lastly is student centered. So, we conclude that face to face

learning is not a must for school education.


GOVERNMENT (SCHOOL IS THE MAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR

UNDERAGE MARRIAGE)

Prime Minister (1st Speaker)

School is a place where children go to be educated or a place that teaching

and learning activities which happen or a place where people can study a particular

subject. Main is most important or larger. Responsible is to

have control and authority over something or someone and the duty of

taking care of it, him, or her. Underage is younger than the lowest age at which

a particular activity is legally or usually allowed. Marriage is

a legally accepted relationship between two people in which they live together.

Underage married is a marriage of a girl or boy before the age of 18. It is also

mean a relationship that occurs by someone who has not reached the appropriate

age or what is commonly called child marriage.

UNICEF data in 2007 showed that women who marry under the age of 18

years in Indonesia reached 34%, and Indonesia are include in the top five countries

that highest percentage of early marriage in the world. According to UNICEF data

female who married before 18 years old in 2018 are 1,220,900 and this puts

Indonesia in the top 10 countries with absolute highest numbers of underage

marriage in the world.

Underage marriage is a phenomenon that still occurs among people in this

modern era. Underage marriage often occurs for various reasons and factors. It is

very difficult to avoid because before doing underage marriage every individual

has had a strong reason so it is very difficult to avoid it.


Schools are parties that are related and have an interest in preventing

underage marriage, because in general those who underage marriages are school-

age children, both when they are in junior high and high school.

Schools can reduce the high rate of underage marriage through learning

(intracurricular) and self-development activities (extracurricular) by providing

knowledge and information to students about the negative impact of underage

marriage. Extracurricular activities can work together with the hospitality that near

with the schools like PMR, UKS, scout, and so on. Schools through teachers can

provide direction and guidance to students in an effort to prevent underage

marriage for their students. Schools can play a role in preventing marriage. Schools

can also cooperate with related parties to avoid underage marriage.

The Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education is currently promoting

12-year compulsory education based on Presidential Instruction No. 7/2014, which

orders Ministers, Heads of State Institutions and Heads of Regional Governments

to implement the Smart Indonesia Program (PIP), which is 12-year compulsory

education as outlined in the Nawacita. If this policy is effective, it is hoped that

underage marriage will not happen again or at least can be significantly reduced.

Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)

1. Counseling about underage marriage

In accordance with the provisions of the Decree of the Minister of Education

and Culture and the head of BAKN No. 0433/P/1993 and No. 25 of 1993 regarding

guidelines implementation of the teacher's functional and credit score it is

explained that the counseling teacher is a teacher who has duties, responsibilities,

full authority, and rights in guidance activities against number of students.


Guidance and counseling among others, aims to enable individuals to

understand and accept themselves, and plan for the future. This very noble goal

which will to lead human children to a better future, it is necessary managed to

achieve its best. Counseling teacher can give the best results when the efforts are

made can provide opportunities for individuals to do self-discovery. Counseling

teachers play a very important role in the education of students so that they can

learn and develop their potential to future and can continue their education to a

higher level again before getting married at a young age.

Counseling teachers are the right friends to be invited to discuss even though

they don't fully understand somebody. The counseling teacher carries out guidance

and counseling so that students can see within themselves. However, the

counseling teachers are not a fortune teller who can describe the students’ future.

But they can explain or describes a bad choice if the student violates the norms that

live in society and ignores the process the learning.

The counseling teachers can give the counsel about reproductive health

especially underage marriage on the level of students’ knowledge. So that, the

students have insight into the understanding and impact of underage marriage. The

students can encourage their attitudes towards reproductive health problem,

especially in underage marriage and will indirectly reduce the rate of underage

marriage. Counseling teachers play a very important role in development of

students. Each student has a strong drive to be mature, productive and independent.

To be mature, productive and independent personality, especially in building a

household really needs guidance, especially family life guidance. Because of the

guidance of life family is an effort to provide assistance to individuals as leaders or

family members so that they are able to create whole and harmonious family,

empower themselves productively, can create and adapt to family norms, and play
a role or actively participate in achieving a healthy family life. So that the students

know where they can get help when they need it.

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)

2. Religious Teacher

Religious teacher in school also being someone who helps the students to

avoid underage married. There is a material about marriage. Religious teachers

explain the nature of marriage. When students study religious subjects, the

religious teacher plays an important role in explaining about marriages that must

be carried out in a ready situation. So, the students can understand well about the

marriage before making a decision to marry each other. As we know, there are still

many who marry underage. Seeing from that the role of religious teachers plays an

important role to reduce the level of underage marriage.

Teaching religious must be done to strengthen the morale of children by

instilling religious knowledge about what is permissible and what is not, what is

lawful and forbidden. Religious lessons are not just complementary subjects, but

must receive more attention.

The school cooperates with social organizations provide counseling or

guidance on various social issues, especially about the risks of marriage at a

underage through early sex education, reproductive health counseling also provides

awareness to students to avoid premarital sex which can lead to pregnancy.

Reproductive health education can be given to children from an early age

and continues to develop into teenagers and adults. This reproductive health

education is aimed at equipping children and adolescents with positive knowledge,

skills, attitudes, and values that are expected to help them understand their health,
welfare, self-esteem, develop healthy social relationships, and be responsible for

their own health and welfare, themselves and the people around them

Government Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

Underage marriage is a phenomenon that still occurs among people in this

modern era. Underage marriage often occurs for various reasons and factors. It is

very difficult to avoid because before doing underage marriage every individual

has had a strong reason so it is very difficult to avoid it. Schools are parties that are

related and have an interest in preventing underage marriage, because in general

those who carry out underage marriages are school-age children, both when they

are in elementary, junior high, and high school.

The counseling teachers can give the counsel about reproductive health

especially underage marriage on the level of students’ knowledge. So that, the

students have insight into the understanding and impact of underage marriage. The

students can encourage their attitudes towards reproductive health problem,

especially in underage marriage

Teaching religious must be done to strengthen the morale of children by

instilling religious knowledge about what is permissible and what is not, what is

lawful and forbidden. Religious lessons are not just complementary subjects, but

must receive more attention. The school cooperates with social organizations

provide counseling or guidance on various social issues, especially about the risks

of marriage at a underage through early sex education, reproductive health

counseling also provides awareness to students to avoid premarital sex which can

lead to pregnancy. That’s why school is the main responsible for underage

marriage. So, we conclude that school is the main responsible for underage

marriage.

We don’t agree with the motion for debating today. School is not the main

responsible for underage marriage. As we know that in the school the students will
control by their teacher. But when they are not in the school, it is uncotrol by the

teacher. The students also have their own life. Their life not only at school. They

will be at home and also live in the environment of their house. That’s why we

absolutely not agree with the motion. Here, our group as opposition group will

explain 4 reasons why we don’t agree with the motion. The First is students’ self.

The second is parents and family. The third is socio culture and the last is the

government. I as first speaker of opposition team will explain one reason why we

don’t agree with the motion. It the students’ self.

1. Students’ Self

Someone's desires to marry because of interest in having a partner for

live in society. People's reasons for marriage is stimulated by romantic impulses,

the desire to get the luxury of life, ambition great for achieving high social status

high, desire to get life insurance, to get sexual satisfaction with partner, desire to

break free from the shackles family. At recent days marriages are often carried out

on basically like and like, because of a will alone or because of feelings love each

other not because of the matchmaking bond of the parents. Although many people

said it’s wrong, almost no one can persuade the students’ self to avoid the underage

marriage. That’s why schools is not the main responsible for underage marriage.

Deputy of Opposition (2nd Speaker)

2. Parents and Family

The parents should control their child. If the students are loss control of their

parents they will go and meet their friend whatever they want. Sometimes they will

fall into free sex behavior. This factor has been the trigger for many cases of

underage marriage, especially among students or a child who lacks direction and

love from his parents. As a result, this free sex factor is not only a trigger for cases
of underage marriage. Because of free sex, the students will pregnancy out of

wedlock. The students also have a relationship that violates the norm. That’s why

the underage married happen.

The underage marriage forced the students to responsible for acting as

husband and wife as well as become fathers and mothers, so this has an impact on

aging early, because they are not ready physically and spiritually. Besides, with

pregnancy of a child out of wedlock makes the parents afraid. So that, it

encourages the parents marry their children who is underage with someone. This

also because parents are worried about perception the community in their

environment and this makes them marry their children at underage to hide the

family disgrace.

Parent is someone who being an important role in underage marriage. Lack

of understanding of parents regarding important education for the progress of their

children, it makes most parents will marry their children at underage. By

optimizing the role of parents or families in children's education, it is hoped that

they can provide understanding to parents or families about the importance of

education for their children, so they are not in a hurry to marry their children at

underage. Parents must be made aware not to allow their children to be married at

underage. In fact, students are having more time in the family environment than in

the schools. When the students at school to do learning activities, maybe only 6-7

hours a day, while most of their time is at home.

Chapter 1 paragraph (1) of Law No. 23 of 2002 concerning Child Protection,

states that "a child is someone who is not yet 18 (eight) years, or those who are still

in the womb” and chapter 26 verse states that the obligation and responsibility of

parents is to prevent child marriage. Underage marriage is very depending on

parents. According to law 16 2019 amendments to article 7 of law 1 1974

concerning marriage isn't it the parents who apply for dispensation to marry
children under the age of 19 to the court? Even though children have reached the

age of 19, they still cannot get married if their parents do not approve according to

law 1/74 article 6 paragraphs 2.

This problem is everyone's responsibility, not just the school. So, the most

important thing we do now to prevent underage marriage is to strengthen the role

and function of the family. Parents must be able to divide their time to find out the

activities of children, especially teenagers, who they hang out with, where and so

on. Families must teach and instill good values from an early age to children, as

well as provide guidance, protection, and supervision so that children do not fall

into promiscuity which can lead to various negative things.

3. Socio- Cultural

Social culture is habits what happens in life society that has occurred

decades ago and these habits are still a lot passed down from generation to

generation in the other word the habit still continues until now. In the get married,

women don't measure how old she is can get married. This is based on a criterion,

namely a certain level of physical development. This fact is due to customary law

knows no boundaries between someone who can already said to be mature or not.

It goes little by little according to conditions, place and the surrounding

environment.

Environment also has a responsible of underage married. Customs in the

local environment influence the habits of the people to marry at an underage. The

reason they marry at underage is not called spinsters, and the person who is

proposed is prohibited from refusing because it can make them difficult to get a

soulmate. The customs that are believed by certain people are increasing the

percentage of underage marriages. For example, the belief that can't refuse

someone's proposal even though still under the age of 18 (eighteen) years, because

will be considered insulting to someone who are propose. So that, they will accept
propose although they still underage. In certain areas, marrying children at an

underage is considered a matter of pride for parents and families. The culture of the

community considers marrying children at an early age a pride and honor, and

conversely considers a disgrace to the family if their children, especially girls, do

not marry at the age they consider old. The culture or assumption of underage

marriage as a pride and honor still exists in the people of South Kalimantan, even

though times are modern.

The tradition or habit of marrying the children at an underage, and this

continues continuously, so that the children in the family will automatically follow

the tradition.

The socio culture can be changed a little bit to avoid the underage marriage.

That will help the students’ not married at underage. Although they are in the

school but their socio culture must for them to marry at underage. Here, the socio

culture also is a responsible of underage marriage.

Opposition Whip (3rd Speaker)

4. Government

The local government itself consists of on the Regional Head, along with the

apparatus others who have obligations as well as the powers that must be exercised

by the local government. Underage marriage among teenagers not only occurs in

the village but in big cities as well. So it has become a trend or methods among

adolescents with many motives. If at the time in the past, many parents wanted

marry off their children at an underage, so now not a few teenagers want to marry.

The research that conducted by Dian Anugerah dkk in 2020 showed that there are

several cases of marriage childhood in Sinjai Regency, namely children who have

not graduated from junior high school are allowed to married because of the
student couple the one who wants to get married about 15 and 14 years old

although still belong to children.

The government and the community must continue to develop education and

create job opportunities so that women and men have alternative activities.

Underage marriage is not only the option in their life. For example, developing a

program to empower young people to continue their education, and for those who

are forced to drop out of school, they are given skills education so that they do not

immediately enter the marriage stage. To anticipate the occurrence of underage

marriages, the government together with religious leaders and community

organizations need to socialize the marriage law to the community. In addition,

cooperation with the health office provides health education regarding the impacts

caused by underage marriage. The government must be seriously committed to

enforcing the applicable laws regarding underage marriage so that those who wish

to marry underage children think twice before doing so. The government also must

be more active in socializing the law related to underage marriage and the

sanctions for violating it and explaining the worst risks that can occur due to

underage marriage to the public. So the emphasis is on public education regarding

the maturation of the age of marriage, both quantitative age and qualitative age.

Various efforts were also deployed through various different programs run by a

number of Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD). Starting from the Health

Office, the Office of Community Empowerment, Women's Empowerment, Child

Protection and Family Planning (DPMP3AKB), and the Education and Culture

Office. Socialization of prevention of child marriage to parents, PPA networks,

junior high and high school children, then Socialization on Prevention of Violence

Against Children, then the establishment of Youth Counseling Centers (PIK R) for

senior high school level and the establishment of Youth Family Development

(BKR) for the junior high school level. Despite various efforts made by the
government in order to avoid underage marriage, without the support of families,

especially parents, all these programs are very small to succeed. Meanwhile, the

government has limits in further regulating the lives of children. That’s why the

governments need to explain that before to the parents and family. Currently, the

case that is most often found is that children marry at an underage because the

association is not controlled.

The socialization referred to where the local government able to influence

society related to the handling of marriage underage. So that with socialization can

work prepare a complete provision for children with introduce behavioral patterns

attitudes, beliefs, ideals and values adopted by the community and learn the

expected role will run them. With thus, socialization is process learning for a child.

The government is expected to participate in creating good social order in various

community lives. Government regulations are required to publish and issue rules to

solve problems that happened. With sanctions, problems or various problems faced

by each maintenance government in which there is a mechanism for taking steps

preventive and provide guidance how each individual behaves and behave

according to local norms. With this social control of course, people will get

sanctions according to what he did. So that, the government also be a responsible

for underage marriage.

Efforts to prevent underage marriage must be supported by all parties, not

only by schools. School also is not a main responsible for underage marriage.

Opposition Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

Underage marriage is a phenomenon that still occurs among people in this

modern era. Underage marriage often occurs for various reasons and factors. It is

very difficult to avoid because before doing underage marriage every individual

has had a strong reason so it is very difficult to avoid it.


We conclude that school is not main responsible for underage marriage

because the main responsible of underage marriages is in the child's parents

themselves, in addition to the role of the community, the students’ itself, socio

cultural and also the government. However, the decision to marry the students is

very dependent on the decision of the students’ parents. The parents' decision was

motivated by many factors, one of which was the culture of the surrounding

community.

School is not the main responsible for underage marriage. It will be difficult

to the students from being married by their parents. Because of the cultural

background and also the environment that means the underage marriage will

continue. The efforts made by the school and those who care about other children

have been maximal, but there are cultural factors in the community that are still

considered taboo to be violated so that underage marriage is still ongoing as it is.

Although schools do their job but the main point that only by the parents’ decision

the student can get marry. That’s why we don’t agree with the motion for debating

today. School is not the main responsible for underage marriage.


GOVERNMENT (PEOPLE SHOULD LEGALLY WEAR MASK AT

SCHOOL)

Prime Minister (1st Speaker)

According to Cambridge dictionary people means men, women and children.

Legally means a stated by the law or according to the laws of a country or state.

Wear means to have clothing, jewelry, etc. on your body. Mask is a covering for all

or part of the face that protects, hides, or decorates the person. School is a place

where children go to be educated or a place that teaching and learning activities

which happen or a place where people can study a particular subject.

This house believes that people should legally wear mask at school. There

are various reasons for wearing a mask when go to school or doing outdoor

activities, from avoiding air pollution to preventing disease transmission. Masks

are one of the important things to protect ourself from pollution and germs that

cause disease. Especially during the current pandemic, wearing a mask is a health

protocol that must always be obeyed.

Now days, the corona virus still exist in this country. So wear a mask cannot

be ignored. Almost the students at every school came from different place. We

don’t know whether the student’s area is infected or not. Wearing mask at school

helps people to decrease spread of corona virus. WHO (World Health

Organization) admits that currently there is very little explanation of how children

transmit the corona virus to those around them. But WHO cites scientific evidence

that adolescents can infect other people in the same way as adults. WHO makes

recommendations for children in these categories: - Children 12 years and over

should wear masks like adults, especially when they cannot maintain a distance of

at least one meter from other people and there is a high transmission of the

coronavirus in the area. - For children between the ages of six and 11 years, WHO
analysis of the spread of the coronavirus where the child is and whether the child

interacts with vulnerable people such as the elderly.

As for teachers in schools, the WHO stated, "In areas where there is

transmission of the corona virus, all adults under 60 who are in good health need to

wear masks. “That advice applies, especially when they can't maintain a minimum

distance of one meter from other people."This is especially important for adults

who work or engage in activities with children, especially if the child is in close

physical contact with their peers like in the kindergarten or elementary school."

The reason is, schools are clusters of Covid-19 transmission due to close contact

among teachers and students, among students, and the indiscipline of wearing

masks. This certainly makes parents anxious who already miss their children

returning to school as before the pandemic.

The potential for transmission from the re-enactment of face to face learning

can especially occur if the students not obeying health protocols. They will easily

remove the mask when they feel stuffy or uncomfortable, easily touch their mouth

or nose before making sure their hands are clean, and so on. So, the effort that

needs to be considered is of course strict health protocols such as using masks.

Face to face learning help educational transformation process that prioritizes

cooperation, interaction between students and teachers in the classroom is running

effectively. Wearing masks by both the infected and uninfected person gives the

uninfected person the most protection. “Masking can protect you and works best

for you when everyone does it”. “When you wear a mask, you protect others as

well as yourself”

The students can go back to school. The best way to keep the students safe at

school is to make sure the level of COVID-19 in the area is very low. Wearing a

mask is to make sure the students healthy at school.


If you not wear mask, it’s rude to make other people sick. You wouldn’t

cough on someone or sneeze in their face. Now we have a new germ that can be

spread to others. When the students not wear a mask they can spread the virus to

others, including teachers and also school staff. Wearing mask is not only for the

student, but also the teacher, the guest, school staff and everyone who are in the

school. The first thing is clearly the students' own order in carrying out health

protocols. Teaching staff certainly cannot control all students, besides how they

interact when outside of school can also cause new clusters later if this pandemic is

not over. The trip to and from school is also in the spotlight, especially students

who take public transportation and even though they take private vehicles, we also

don't know where they stopped first. This requires the commitment of teachers and

parents that students should go straight home after school and if possible, only that

person will deliver and pick up so as to minimize interaction with other people.

That’s why wear mask must legally in school.

Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)

Why do we have to wear the mask at school when we feel fine? The answer

is no one know for sure their conditions. We cannot confirm ourselves to be

infected or not except with a lab test. According to WHO, as many as 80% of

people infected with corona virus are asymptomatic or have mild symptoms.

Therefore, wearing a mask is a very wise thing. The people who are in the school

area must legally wear a mask. Of course, it is very wise if we, who don’t know for

sure we are healthy or infected. It is also to reduce the possibility of being infected

from other people at school who we think are healthy. But can be infected without

symptoms and can transmit.

At school, the virus can spread through droplets. As we know, the corona

virus is able to spread through liquid droplets or splashed of liquid from sick
people, coughing, sneezing and even when talking. Wearing a mask prevent the

droplets from outside into the respiratory tract, because the inhaled air will be

filtered first. Because of that, the risk of being infected will be reduces. When we

at school, we don’t know that we are healthy or we have been infected and can

transmit it to others. Wearing a mask prevent the droplets from our body into the

surrounding environment. Therefore, wearing a mask reduces the potential for

transmitting corona virus to other at school.

Beside that, wear mask at school is to avoid exposure to air pollution. Dust

is one of the types of air pollution that can be found every day. Well, exposure to

this pollution can affect the performance of the lungs and increase the risk of

developing respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease (COPD) and heart disease. Wearing a mask at school can filter dirty air

before it is inhaled by the nose.

Therefore, wearing a mask can be one of the best ways to avoid contracting

or transmitting diseases. Masks that are used properly can prevent germs from

spreading through mucus and fluids that come out when sneezing or coughing.

Protects the face from the negative effects of sunlight and pollution. The

reason for wearing a mask that is no less important is to protect some facial skin

from the bad effects of air pollution and sun exposure. Prolonged exposure to

sunlight and air pollution is thought to cause premature aging and increase the risk

of eczema, acne, dark spots, and skin cancer.

Government Spoken Person for Handling Covid-19 and New Habit

Adaptation Ambassador dr. Reisa Broto Asmoro continues to remind the public to

continue to obey health protocols even though they have been vaccinated and the

number of positive cases of the corona virus in Indonesia has fallen. Continue to be

enthusiastic about implementing health protocols whenever and wherever. Even


though have been vaccinated; don’t be careless because this is not the time yet. If

we underestimate this process, the virus can spread again. Let’s protect each other

by obeying the health protocols. Even though the people who are at the school

have been vaccinated, people are not yet 100 percent immune from the virus, so

extra protection is needed even though the vaccine can reduce the risk. Wearing

mask will not be loose again and continue to be high (implementation). The

pandemic is not over, and we don't know when it will end, the risk of transmission

is still there. Wearing mask can prevent of Covid-19, but also other infectious

diseases.

The Omicron variant that has been detected in Indonesia is an alarm for the

public to strictly comply with the Health Protocol like wear a mask. By continuing

to maintain discipline on health protocols like wear a mask, the community is

expected to be able to avoid the transmission of the new variant.

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)

Wearing mask can prevent infectious infection and also prevent the

transmission and spread of disease in school. For people who are suffering from

respiratory diseases, wearing mask is very mandatory. For example, when you

have influenza or even cough, people around you can catch it through the air. As

we know the school is a place that has many people.

According to a number of studies, wearing mask can prevent you from

transmitting or contracting various Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI) diseases,

such as flu, COVID-19, and SARS. Schools can be a place of corona virus

transmission. That can be done to prevent and make school become a safe place. It

is wearing mask at school must be legal. The school that not wear a mask in the

room have 3.5 times more to experiences the cases than the schools where the

teachers and the students wore the mask. Centers for control of infectious diseases
(CDC) recommends the use of masks indoors for all children aged two and over, as

well as teachers and anyone who visits schools regardless of whether they have

been vaccinated or not.

The danger of not wearing a mask can be experienced easily exposed to the

virus. When a person does not wear a mask, the virus enters the body more easily

through the respiratory tract. Masks are effective in preventing virus transmission

through droplets.

Another danger is the possibility that the body can carry the virus. Reporting

from CNN Indonesia, several studies show that viruses can survive on the surface

of objects for some time. When carrying out daily activities, a person will

definitely hold the objects around him/her. Then, without realizing it, touched the

face with hands that might have been contaminated with the virus. In school also is

the area that can hold the things. Therefore, wearing a mask is very important to

protect the body from Covid-19 which can enter through the facial area.

The CDC says masks can help prevent other people from contracting

diseases that can be transmitted through droplets or the air such as Covid-19. The

CDC also found that many people with Covid-19 are unaware that they are carriers

of the virus. This is because they do not feel symptoms (Asymptomatic People)

and choose not to wear masks. With the presence of OTG, the spread of the virus is

increasingly difficult to detect. For this reason, wearing a mask is very important.

One of the things that is difficult to see if there is transmission of corona

virus in schools is because the children or the students generally show mild

symptoms and the transmission cannot be detected. The high of transmission

among students also disrupts the learning system in school. That’s why the people

must legally wearing mask at school. At school wear mask as legally, makes all of

the environment try to discipline. Wearing a mask must always be maintained.


Government Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

People should legally wear mask at school. There are various reasons for

OPPOSITION (PEOPLE SHOULD LEGALLY WEAR MASK AT

Leader of Opposition (1st Speaker)

According to Cambridge dictionary people means men, women and children.

Wear means to have clothing, jewelry, etc. on your body. Mask is a covering for all

where children go to be educated or a place that teaching and learning activities

which happen or a place where people can study a particular subject.

We don’t agree that people should legally wear mask at school. Two years

after the pandemic, concerns around the effects of masks on children's linguistic,

emotional and social development. Masks do affect students' ability to recognize

faces and emotions. Like adults, masks can also interfere with verbal

communication. Experts are divided on the long-term effects on children's

development. Children learn to speak through social interactions, particularly

looking at adults' mouths. Wearing masks impairs emotional or language

development in children. In educational settings, there is a lot of implicit feedback

back and forth between teacher and students.

Masking is a psychological stressor for students and disrupts

learning.  Covering the lower half of the face of both teacher and students reduces

the ability to communicate.  In particular, children lose the experience of

mimicking expressions, an essential tool of nonverbal communication.  Positive

emotions such as laughing and smiling become less recognizable, and negative

emotions get amplified. Bonding between teachers and students takes a hit.


Do not forget that the potential for transmission does not only occur in the

classroom and in the school area, but can also be on the way. Just for remind, even

your own family can unknowingly become a source of transmission. So, the

transmission of Covid-19 can happen anywhere. At home, where we feel safest,

can be a place of the virus transmission. Not only use a mask to prevent the spread

of corona virus but also includes good ventilation, washing hand and vaccines.

Even for children ages 6 to 11, the WHO does not routinely recommend

masks, because of the “potential impact of wearing a mask on learning and

psychosocial development.” The WHO also explicitly counsels against masking

children during physical activities, including running and jumping at the

playground, so as not to compromise breathing. Masks can make learning difficult

for some most vulnerable children, including those with cognitive delays, speech

and hearing issues, and autism. Masks also hinder language and speech

development especially important for students who do not speak English at home.

Masks impede emotion recognition, even in adults, but particularly in children.

Deputy of Opposition (2nd Speaker)

The people should not legally wear mask at school. When doing physical

education or when doing physical activites such as running, jumping, or playing,

the mask isn’t wear, so that the breathing is not disturbed. Masks can grow germs

if they become damp or cause unhealthy levels of carbon dioxide. The effects of

prolongued wearing mask can range from headaches to increased airway

resistance, accumulation of carbon dioxide, hypoxemia, to serious, life-threatening

complications. When we use use the mask at school, it will block oxygen from

entering for breathing as wel as blocking the wasting of CO2

Not only those who have respiratory problems, but also children who have

disabilities in the form of mental, behavioral disorders, or have other diseases who
do not recommend wearing masks. In addition, masks are recommended to be

used, but there are also some situations that do not allow children to wear masks.

For example, those who are not allowed to wear masks during high-activity sports,

such as running,"

Opposition Whip (3rd Speaker)

In an article of Jerusalem Post, Russell Blaylock wrote that the effects of

prolongued wearing mask can range from headaches to increased airway

resistance, accumulation of carbon dioxide, hypoxemia, to serious, life-threatening

complications. According to the Expert Council of the Indonesian Association of

Public Health Experts (IAKMI) Hermawan Saputra, when wearing a mask, the

respiratory tract is slightly obstructed. Especially if the mask worn has a very

strong filtering capacity like N95. Headaches can indeed occur due to the lack of

oxygen. So, if the rate of oxygen in our breathing is disturbed, our blood

circulation that lacks oxygen will also disrupt our metabolic system which can

eventually causes a reaction in the body. Because of the lack of oxygen in the

blood that often arises the headaches. When we use use the mask at school, it will

block oxygen from entering for breathing as wel as blocking the wasting of CO2.

This definetly make the veins, especially the ones on the head fell bad. With the

pandemic now two years old, many people are tired of wearing masks. In addition,

studies have shown that for vaccinated people. With widespread population

immunity, the overall risk of severe disease is now generally lower. Everyone is

safer when everyone is vaccinated

GOVERNMENT (VACCINATION CARD/ CERTIFICATION IS NEEDED

FOR FLIGHT)

Prime Minister (1st Speaker)

Vaccination is the process or an act of giving someone a vaccine or

a substance put into a person's body to prevent them getting a disease. Card is

a small, rectangular piece of card or plastic, often with your signature, photograph,

or other information proving who you are, that allows you to do something.

Certification is the process of earning an official document, or

the act of providing an official document, as proof that something has happened or

been done. Flight is a journey in an aircraft. Vaccination card/certification is

physical or digital proof that you have been vaccinated against COVID 19.

This house believes that vaccination card/certification is needed for flight.

Airport is a place of transfer of passengers. When vaccination card is a needed for

flight, it will make people to get vaccine. Vaccine is offered the strong protection,

but that protection takes time to build. People must take all the required doses of a

vaccine to build full immunity. Getting vaccinated could save your life. COVID-19

vaccines provide strong protection against serious illness, hospitalization and

death. There is also some evidence that being vaccinated will make it less likely

that you will pass the virus on to others, which means your decision to get the

vaccine also protects those around you.

The head of the Covid-19 Handling Task Force, Lt. Gen. Suharyanto, issued

Circular Letter number 11 of 2022 concerning Provisions for Traveling Domestic

People during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The circular stated that travelers now no

longer need to do PCR and antigen tests if they have received a second dose of

vaccination or a third dose of vaccination (booster).


When you travel, you may be at increased risk from disease through

contaminated water or food, contact with infected people or etc. The reason why

vaccination card/certification is needed for flight because it will protect you against

certain diseases and also protect the health of others. So, you don’t spread the virus

or diseases.

There is also still a chance that you could also pass the virus on to others

who are not vaccinated. Vaccination will also accelerate herd immunity. When

many people have been vaccinated, a condition known as herd immunity is

formed. This phrase must be familiar to your ears, right? Herd immunity is a

condition when the population in an area is already immune to a virus that causes

disease. Herd immunity is achieved by protecting people from viruses, namely by

vaccination. Our government has also set a target of 70% of Indonesian people

getting the Covid-19 vaccination to form group immunity. With group immunity

through the Covid-19 vaccination, there will be fewer transmissions of this disease,

and of course more lives that can be saved. Because of the reason vaccination card

is needed for flight so that many people will get vaccine.

Referring to the Circular (SE) of the National COVID-19 Task Force

Number 22 of 2021, there are a number of conditions that must be considered

before traveling by airplane. One of the rules is the passengers have to showed the

vaccination card that proof they have been vaccinated. This can help you when you

travel to other place and not know how much virus is circulating in the areas where

you travel. The public must also be vaccinated to get maximum protection from

Corona. By being vaccinated, the body's immunity will increase and the vaccine is

like a protective cloak when Omicron has entered Indonesia. With widespread

population immunity, the overall risk of severe disease is now generally lower.
Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)

Vaccination card is needed for flight. If you want this condition to get better,

obey and follow the government's recommendations, starting from vaccinating,

because the vaccine has been declared safe by the government. In airplane there is

equipped with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) and also the obligation to

test PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for airplane passengers raises more

objections. The reason is, this policy feels burdensome to the community, most of

who have been vaccinated.

When the flight don’t need vaccination card, many people will not get the

vaccine. It will difficult to build the immune system. As we know that 70% of the

people who get vaccinated will form the group of immune system. It helps us to

end this pandemic. In the airplane, we also don’t know someone who is infected or

not. Although, if the passengers do the PCR test. However, PCR incriminates some

people who don’t have much money. The price of the PCR swab test is still

considered too high for some people. The PCR policy for airplane passengers will

burden the community and have the potential to reduce the number of passengers

and airline losses. That’s why vaccination card is needed for flight. When

someone, who are vaccinated their body have immune system.

The vaccination, help us to avoid the virus if we are in the airplane. One of

the parameters to ensure the handling of the pandemic goes well is the acceleration

of vaccination. When you make vaccination a requirement, that’s another incentive

to get more people vaccinated. Requiring proof of vaccination for flights would

improve public health and address concerns that passengers have about flying.”

Although the travel industry adjusted during the pandemic to allow travel to

continue with COVID-19 testing measures, but vaccine can keep our own self and

others safe. The benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine to our day-to-day lives are

apparent. It can prevent you from contracting the virus, can protect those around
you, and can lower the spread of COVID-19. Without the vaccine, you might be

required to get tested before and after your trip and quarantine for a certain amount

of time at the destination. With the vaccine, you might get to skip the

uncomfortable test or required quarantining. The most important reason to get the

COVID-19 vaccine before you travel is that it’s the right thing to do. If you’re

vaccinated, you’re less likely to put tour guides, hotel workers, flight attendants,

and the entire travel industry workforce at risk for contracting the virus.

Additionally, you’d be protecting the people in the community in which

you’re visiting. This is especially important if you’re visiting areas with high

indigenous populations who have been suffering greatly in the pandemic.

The vaccine will make traveling easier for you. Travel is a privilege and we

should do it with mindful intentions to be kind and respectful to those who live in

the areas in which we are visiting. That means protecting their health. So get the

COVID-19 vaccine, as soon as possible, and preferably before you take any trips

so that you can protect yourself and others.

Travelers often face health issues they wouldn't ordinarily experience at

home. To minimize your risks of becoming seriously ill when traveling, you

should get the vaccination.

Using COVID vaccine certificates to prove that you’re fully vaccinated

gives you a lot more freedom in terms of where and how you travel. Travel at our

nation's airports has essentially returned to pre-pandemic levels but the risk from

COVID-19, including from its new variant Omicron, continues to present a major

public health threat. Everyone is safer when everyone is vaccinated

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)

The viruses that cause illness and death still exist and can be passed on to

those who are not protected by vaccines. Global travel makes it easy for diseases to

spread. Vaccines play a vital role in keeping you healthy. Vaccines are one of the
most convenient and safest preventive care measures available. When you get

vaccinated, you are protecting yourself and your family as well as those in your

community who may not be able to be vaccinated.  COVID-19 vaccines are

extremely effective at preventing illness in the people who receive them. This is a

necessary and long overdue step toward ensuring all people feel safe and confident

while traveling. Adding a vaccination requirement for air travel creates more

incentive to get vaccinated in the first place. People cannot work because they have

been exposed and they got Covid-19. And it's even infecting vaccinated people and

people who have a booster. The only way to protect our industries, our work and

our economy is to mandate vaccines on airplanes. The only way to protect flying is

to mandate vaccines. We have enough information right now that the vaccine

protects you and vaccines will lower your chance of getting infected. To get on a

plane and feel safe that the person sitting next to you and the three next to each

other is vaccinated and he or she is not spreading Covid-19.

It's not an overstep. It means the government said the vaccines are effective

at preventing infection. So why are we saying it's okay to be on a plane without a

vaccine? These two don't connect.

Travel at our nation's airports has essentially returned to pre-pandemic levels

but the risk from COVID-19, including from its new variant Omicron, continues to

present a major public health threat. Everyone is safer when everyone is

vaccinated. So it's no longer a barrier for people traveling far and cost-effective for

sure because the passengers no need to do the PCR test. The application of the

vaccination card requirements is solely done as a form of caution because those

who have been vaccinated have more protection from transmission than those who

have not been vaccinated.


In airplane there is equipped with HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air)

and also the obligation to test PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for airplane

passengers raises more objections. The reason is, this policy feels burdensome to

the community, most of who have been vaccinated.

Apart from burdensome costs, this kind of regulation does not seem to be

concerned with vaccine efforts. Even though the PCR test is not only expensive, it

also takes a long time, at least 6 hours for the results to come out. Now, if we have

an urgent need to get on a plane, it's no longer possible for us to take a PCR test

where the results will only come out tomorrow. Requiring PCR so that air

transportation can be at full capacity is a policy that makes people difficult. Both

technically in addition to a fairly large cost (the ticket price is quite expensive plus

the cost of PCR). This policy of course provides benefits for airlines and PCR

service providers (entrepreneurs), but not for the public. That’s why vaccination

card is needed for flight because it does not make difficult for people who want to

travel by using airplane. Besides being considered easier for the community, it is

also considered to ease the burden of expenses that must be borne by passengers

who want to travel using public facilities.

The public must also be vaccinated to get maximum protection from Corona.

By being vaccinated, the body's immunity will increase and the vaccine is like a

protective cloak when Omicron has entered Indonesia. With widespread population

immunity, the overall risk of severe disease is now generally lower

Traveling and taking vacations has always been compelling, but since the

start of the COVID-19 pandemic, it rightfully hasn't been the same. Small

getaways, moving, and traveling home to be with family are just a few reasons

people are getting on planes, but with the new Omicron variant, is traveling safe to

do at all? Well, traveling doesn't have to be completely avoided. Vaccination plus


COVID-19 prevention measures are our best strategy. This includes getting fully

vaccinated and receiving the booster dose.

Government Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

Vaccination card/certification is needed for flight. Airport is a place of

transfer of passengers. When vaccination card is a needed for flight, it will make

people to get vaccine. Vaccine is offered the strong protection, but that protection

takes time to build. People must take all the required doses of a vaccine to build

full immunity. Getting vaccinated could save your life. As we know that 70% of

the people who get vaccinated will form the group of immune system. It helps us

to end this pandemic. In the airplane, we also don’t know someone who is infected

or not. When someone, who are vaccinated their body have immune system. The

vaccination, help us to avoid the virus if we are in the airplane. Additionally, you’d

be protecting the people in the community in which you’re visiting. This is

OPPOSITION (VACCINATION CARD/ CERTIFICATION IS NEEDED

FOR FLIGHT)

Leader of Opposition (1st Speaker)

Vaccination is the process or an act of giving someone a vaccine or

a substance put into a person's body to prevent them getting a disease. Card is

a small, rectangular piece of card or plastic, often with your signature, photograph,

or other information proving who you are, that allows you to do something.

Certification is the process of earning an official document, or

the act of providing an official document, as proof that something has happened or

been done. Flight is a journey in an aircraft. Vaccination card/certification is

physical or digital proof that you have been vaccinated against COVID 19.

We don’t agree that vaccination card is needed for flight. There is still a

pandemic happening and some countries have it worse than others. As we know

although the people have vaccinated still infected of the corona virus. Being

vaccinated does’t make you 100% COVID-19 proof. Spokesperson for the Covid-

19 Vaccination of the Ministry of Health, Siti Nadia Tarmizi said to Kompas.com,

Friday 4 March 2022 that the PCR test was still needed, even though it had been

vaccinated twice. This is done because the test is to make sure someone is infected

with Covid-19 or not. Head of the Health Handling Division of the National

Covid-19 Task Force, Brigadier General Retired TNI Dr Alexander K

GintingSp.P(K), FCCP also explained the same thing because the PCR makes sure

it's not infected. It's safe for travelers. Covid-19 tests such as PCR tests were used

to see if someone had contracted Covid-19 or not. Because PCR sees someone

infected or not, infected or not. Vaccination twice or a complete dose alone does

not guarantee a person will be safe or not infected with Covid-19.


Even after getting vaccinated, keep taking precautions to protect yourself,

family, friends and anyone else you may come into contact with. COVID-19

vaccines are highly effective, but some people will still get ill from COVID-19

after vaccination.

How about the people who don’t vaccine because of the limitation of it?

There are people who only vaccine dose one because the vaccine are not evenly

distributed all in Indonesia. That’s why vaccination card is no need for flight. PCR

test is still the test that have the accuracy result of corona virus. PCR test is more

needed because sometimes although you are vaccinated, you can be infected by the

virus. One thing to remember, vaccines are not pandemic drugs, but our efforts to

fortify ourselves from the effects of the virus that causes Covid-19.

The results of the PCR must be negative to reduce the risk of transmission

and increase in cases. This PCR was launched because of the increasingly high

mobility of the community. Meanwhile, the enforcement of the standard or gold

standard from the WHO itself is the PCR test. So of course what should be used

there is PCR. PCR test is better used as a condition to prevent transmission of the

virus

In addition, the cabin crews have also received complete vaccinations.

Facilities and infrastructure on board the aircraft also regularly spray disinfectant

and are equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) air management

technology. Even the cabin crew will reprimand passengers who not obey the

health protocols. Regardless of your destination or whether you've been

vaccinated, wearing a mask over your nose and mouth is required on planes.

Those things like wearing mask and planes’ highly efficient HEPA filters are

sufficient infection-prevention measures. Vaccinated people might still be able to

transmit the coronavirus to others as asymptomatic carriers. For those reasons,


even vaccinated people will need to follow mask wearing and safe social-

distancing recommendations in public like in the airplane. Another reason we’ll

want everyone to keep wearing masks and take other precautions for the near

future.

Requiring proof of a negative test for flights would improve public health

and address concerns that passengers have about flying.

This is a necessary and long overdue step toward ensuring all people feel

safe and confident while traveling. What is perhaps most important to note here,

though, is that while most viruses do not easily spread on flights (due to the air

circulation system found on planes), COVID-19 is different. Since it is impossible

to social distance on a flight, you’re at a higher risk of contracting COVID on an

airplane, especially during a long-haul flight. Although you have vaccination card

you still wear a mask to prevent the corona virus. You don’t know you are infected

or not.

Deputy of Opposition (2nd Speaker)

Vaccinated people might still be able to transmit the coronavirus to others as

asymptomatic carriers. For those reasons, even vaccinated people will need to

follow mask wearing and safe social-distancing recommendations in public like in

the airplane.

Based on Detik News Prof. Dr. Iris Rengganis, SpPD-KAI, Consul for

Allergy Immunology from Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital (RSCM) explained that

it is important to remember that vaccines cannot 100 percent protects a person

from the COVID-19 virus.

Having a diagnostic test allows public health authorities to separate the

infected from the uninfected. Why would you want to do this? It’s simple because

then you can take measures to ensure that infected people stay out of circulation to
prevent further spread. PCR test for passengers in air or airplane modes of

transportation. In addition to having a high level of accuracy is the PCR test policy

from the government is appropriate because it considers the health side more. Until

now, the PCR test is still the best test for detecting Covid-19. The principle is to

maintain that transmission does not occur in layers. This means that the

prerequisites are started. Not all those who are vaccinated are not infected, they can

still be infected. PCR test has a higher level of sensitivity in detecting. Vaccination

is not enough. That's why we need two layers. We are always required to wear a

mask when traveling on an airplane. Then the next layer with the best test is PCR.

When certification vaccine is needed for flight, it's difficult to trace people with

COVID-19 symptoms, so it’s a little worried. PCR test is considered the most

effective. Professor at the Department of Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine,

Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (FKUI), Tjandra Yoga Aditama

agreed that the PCR test is used as a condition for traveling by airplane, because a

negative PCR test result provides higher security for preventing the transmission of

Covid-19. PCR test is considered the most effective. If only showing the vaccine

card as proof it makes people feel freer and it will be easier to disobey the rules of

taking care of each other. The Omicron variant that has been detected in Indonesia

is an alarm for the public to strictly comply with the Health Protocol (Prokes). By

continuing to maintain discipline on health protocols, the community is expected to

be able to avoid the transmission of the new variant.

Opposition Whip (3rd Speaker)

Government Spoken Person for Handling Covid-19 and New Habit

Adaptation Ambassador dr. Reisa Broto Asmoro continues to remind the public to

continue to obey health protocols even though they have been vaccinated and the

number of positive cases of the corona virus in Indonesia has fallen. Continue to be

enthusiastic about implementing health protocols whenever and wherever. Even


though have been vaccinated; don’t be careless because this is not the time yet. If

we underestimate this process, the virus can spread again. Let’s protect each other

by obeying the health protocols. Even though the people who are at the airplane

have been vaccinated, people are not yet 100 percent immune from the virus, so

extra protection is needed.

The Omicron variant that has been detected in Indonesia is an alarm for the

public to strictly comply with the Health Protocol (Prokes). By continuing to

maintain discipline on health protocols, the community is expected to be able to

avoid the transmission of the new variant.

Vaccination cards are not needed when flying because most people in

Indonesia have or suffer from various diseases such as high blood pressure,

diabetes, gout. This proves that a vaccination card is not needed when someone

wants to fly. PCR test is considered the most effective. Professor at the Department

of Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of

Indonesia (FKUI), Tjandra Yoga Aditama agreed that the PCR test is used as a

condition for traveling by airplane, because a negative PCR test result provides

higher security for preventing the transmission of Covid-19. PCR test is considered

GOVERNMENT (FAMILY HOPE PROGRAMS IS NOT A SOLUTION

FOR ECONOMIC WELFARE COMMUNITY)

Prime Minister (1st Speaker)

Family is a group of people who are related to each other. Programs mean

a group of activities or things to be achieved. Solution is the answer to a problem.

Economic is relating to trade, industry, and money. Economic welfare is the level

of prosperity and quality of living standards in an economy. Community is

the people who live in a particular area.

Family Hope Program or commonly referred to as PKH is one of the

government programs that aims to help reduce poverty. The Family Hope Program

(PKH) was first implemented by Indonesia in 2007 in 7 provinces with 48

regencies/cities (Ministry of Social Affairs, 2015). Furthermore, starting in 2010

the Ministry of Social Affairs increased the number of provinces receiving

assistance from the Family Hope Program (PKH). According to the Ministry of

Social Affairs 2015, in 2013 the Family Hope Program (PKH) was then

implemented throughout the territory of the Republic of Indonesia. The family

hope program provides cash assistance to very poor families (KSM). According to

the National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction/TNP2K (2016), the

Family Hope Program (PKH) is a program by providing cash to Very Poor

Families (KSM) based on predetermined terms and conditions.

Family's Hope Program (Program Keluarga Harapan) is a social protection

program that provides cash assistance to underprivileged households and for

members of Keluarga Penerima Manfaat (KPM) Beneficiary Families who have

health components (toddlers and pregnant women), education (elementary, junior

high, and high school children), and welfare social (elderly and social

disability).This program, in the short term aims to reduce the burden of

underprivileged households and in the long run it is expected to break the


intergenerational poverty chain, so that the next generation can get out of the

poverty trap.

However, sometimes there are still mistakes regarding the provision of

assistance to those who are entitled, such as giving to families who can still be

considered economically capable, also in the community there are still gifts given

to their own relatives even though they are still economically capable.

Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a conditional cash transfer program for

low-income families. The requirement is to be actively involved in education and

health. The Family Hope Program in Indonesia was implemented in 2007 to

alleviate poverty and prosper low-income families. Sometimes, family hope

program is not right on target. So that, people who are really poor and need help do

not get that. This is cannot be a solution for economic welfare community. There

were people who were very poor, but did not receive that program. Meanwhile,

residents whose lives are quite decent, even accept. In fact, there are still children

who do not regularly receive food intake. This is due to data that is still

problematic. So that there are residents whose economy has actually improved, but

because they are still listed on the list of recipients, they still get the program. The

source of data in the family hope program is still problematic because it has not

been updated. A lot of invalid data so that, there are who actually do not deserve

family hope program. On the other hand, there are poor families who are not

covered by the program. In addition, verifying the data for poor families of the

PKH program is still poor. The facilitators of this program gave to families who

are considered not poor especially in economy.

The family hope program is provided by the government to the poor

families. The money that given by the government is not used properly by them.

They used it for buying cigarettes or non-essential items. This makes them become
lazy looking for the job or money. They will wait this program to fulfil their needs.

So, how this can be a solution for economic welfare in the community? This just

be pamper for the community.

Misuse of family hope program (PKH) funds. As is known, the apparatus

has just appointed a PKH assistant for misusing PKH fund. Unfortunately, that the

misuse of PKH funds is not from the recipient but from the PKH facilitators. The

abuse in questions was that accompanying person did not hand over PKH

assistance to the beneficiaries. The nominal is different for each beneficiary.

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)

The facilitators of this program gave to families who are considered not poor

especially in economy. For example, in Nagari Lagan Hilir Punggasan. This

research is conducted by Apando Ekardo dkk 2014. This program does include all

poor families.

A number of people in Deno Village, Poco Ranaka District, East Manggarai

Regency, complained about the distribution of social assistance for the Family

Hope Program (PKH). The reason is they admitted that the distribution of PKH

assistance which had been disbursed last February was suspected to have not been

right on target.

According to SorotNTT.com as stated by Yohanes Sumarlin (Monday

04/03/2019), a resident of Deno Village, Poco Ranaka District, East Manggarai

Regency (Matim) who regrets that many PKH recipient data are not appropriate.

For example in Deno village. Here there are still many who come from among the

wealthy or entrepreneurs, there are even civil servants and others who still accept

PKH. Meanwhile, the lower (middle) economic community cannot. Obviously this

creates social jealousy for the poor.


The PKH program was abused by five recipients in Kanigoro village,

Pagelaran, Malang Regency, Tuesday (29/6/2021).

Community welfare is a benchmark for the development of a nation

These efforts are to improve and improve the level of the human economy in

a country and a nation. So that when the economic level is good, the economic

welfare community will also be created. Welfare is always created in every

generation that exists, because thus means that the ideals of a nation and state have

been achieved. In an effort to improve and create the economy welfare community,

the people also needs institutions or institutions that facilitate. In this case, the

Indonesian government has provided the family hope program as a facility to help

the people achieve prosperity through efforts to increase the economy public. As

an institution that provides facilities and services in an effort to create prosperity

and improve the community's economy, government provides some assistance

through programs that given to the poor people in Indonesia. There are many

programs that Indonesian government provided to the people. One of them is

family hope program. With this, the Indonesian government rolled out the Family

Program policy Hope (PKH) through Law no. 40 of 2004 concerning the

Guarantee System National Social Affairs which was followed up by Presidential

Regulation Number 15 of 2010 concerning the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction.

This program is a program that provides conditional assistance to Very Poor

Households (RSTM). These requirements are related to efforts to improve the

quality of human resources, namely regarding health and education, with the hope

that through this program the government can reduce poverty and improve the

community's economy Indonesia (Kemensos.go.id: 2019)

From the economic aspect, economically poverty can be defined as a lack of

resources that can be used to meet the needs of life and improve the welfare of a

group of people
Programs of social assistance for poor families. This program is

implemented by the Ministry of Social Affairs to help alleviate poverty. The main

objective of PKH is to improve the quality of human resources, especially in the

fields of education and health for poor families.

PKH is a program that has been launched since 2007. With PKH poor

families with predetermined criteria will receive financial assistance for a certain

period. PKH is assistance that helps poor families have access to and take

advantage of basic social services, health, education, food and nutrition, care, and

assistance.

PKH is a step that is expected to contribute significantly to reducing the

number of poor people. Through PKH, poor families are encouraged to have

access to and take advantage of basic social services in health, education, food and

nutrition, care, and assistance, including access to various other social protection

programs which are complementary programs on an ongoing basis. PKH is

directed to be the epicenter and center of excellence for poverty reduction that

synergizes various national social protection and empowerment programs.

Deputy of Opposition (2nd Speaker)

Family of Hope Program in FDS (Family Development Session) or guidance

to Beneficiary Families, which is carried out every month and must be followed by

every KPM under the guidance of a PKH Facilitator. There is also education in the

field of economics. Where, in the construction in the field of economy, KPM is

given knowledge about financial management, careful borrowing and saving, as

well as knowledge of entrepreneurship. In addition, the government through PKH

also provides KUBE (Groups) Joint Venture) as a forum for community economic

empowerment in an entrepreneurial way, where the aim is as an effort to improve

community entrepreneurship skills and improve community economy. So that in

the Family Program policy Expectations issued by the government can affect
efforts improving the economy of the poor, Relation to income, the average

income generated by PKH participants from before becoming a participant until

after becoming a PKH participant PKH participants varied. There are some

participants whose income is increasing improved, among those who were

previously PKH participants their income between Rp. 800.000,00 to Rp.

1,200,000,000.00. Then after becoming PKH participants their income has

increased between Rp. 1,000,000.00 up to Rp. 2,000,000.00, it is also because they

apply knowledge that has been obtained from coaching meetings, take advantage

of the assistance obtained, as well as starting entrepreneurship and developing a

business they. But not a few PKH participants from before until After becoming a

PKH participant, the income is still relatively fixed. their income also varies

between Rp.800,000.00 to Rp. 1,500,000,000.00. However, even those whose

income is still constant, they have started to improve their livability. Among the

large of them began to improve the suitability of housing and facilities support

their survival. From the existence of community economic empowerment carried

out through the Family Hope Program this has an impact on the economic level

Beneficiary Families. The Family Hope Program has brought changes in the state

or level of the economy and real welfare in Beneficiary Families. Changes at the

economic level can see from several factors that determine the high and low of the

economy community, namely from the level of education, income, type of

residence and facilities or property ownership. Through PKH, KPM has

experienced increase in their income, both in cash and in income in the form of

goods (Hoerunni Case Study in Karangnangka Village, Kedungbanteng District,

Banyumas Regency)

According to beritasatu.com the family hope program (PKH) is one of the

government assistance that has a large and sustainable impact in later on at the

level of the economy and the welfare of society Indonesia. This is because the
program in 2018 has contributed in reducing the poverty rate to 9.82%. Many

Indonesian families are increasingly prosperous because these two basic needs are

fulfilled. The government has various policies and programs as instruments

implemented by the ministries/agencies according to their respective fields. In this

context, there are two types of programs, namely Urgent Programs and

Fundamental Programs. The Urgent Program is a program to address problems and

meet needs. The Fundamental Program is a program in the context of future

planning and outreach. "So related to this, the Ministry of Social Affairs

specifically develops national policies that are oriented towards community

empowerment and improving welfare through various forms of social assistance,

including PKH

Opposition Whip (3rd Speaker)

In 2017 there were 320,000 KPM who had advanced to the independent

prosperous graduation class. In addition, PKH encourages family creativity in

increasing their productivity. More than 80% of PKH recipients have now become

productive economic entrepreneurs, thereby reducing the gap between income

groups. According to Idrus in Media Indonesia Thursday, 16 August 2018 PKH is

not just a charitable social assistance such as Direct Cash Assistance (BLT), but

PKH is a conditional social assistance or known as Conditional Cash Transfer

(CCT) which is an instrument that has been proven to be effective in improving

people's welfare in 72 countries in the world.

The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) has released data on the decline in the

poverty rate (population with monthly per capita expenditure below the poverty

line) in Indonesia by 630 thousand people to 25.95 million people or 9.82 percent

as of March 2018 compared to September 2017 (26.58 million people or 10.12

percent). When compared to the conditions in the previous year, namely as of


March 2017 to March 2018, the poverty rate in Indonesia fell by 1.8 million

people, considering that in March 2017 the poverty rate was still 27.77 million

people (10.64 percent). The percentage of the poverty rate of 9.82 percent as of

March 2018, is the lowest number in the history of the Republic of Indonesia. This

achievement, according to BPS, was due to, among other things, an increase in

social assistance of 87.6 percent. One of the because of family hope program.

Access to sources of financial capital (finance) is very important for the

smooth running of an economic activity.

To build a new business, of course there needs to be collaboration. Including the

matter of finding funds for initial capital

Opposition Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

Prosperity, freedom from the problems of poverty, prosperity and progress at

the economic level of society are the ideals of every nation, including Indonesia. In

this processto increase the economy and create prosperity, the community also

needs the government as an institution who facilitat, protect and help make it easier

to sufficient needed and achieve the prosperity. In this case Indonesian government

provides facilities, assistance, and forms of civil economic empowerment through

programs provided to the poor, namely the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH)
GOVERNMENT (COOPERATIVE WEEKLY LOAN SHOULD BE

BANNED IN INDONESIA)

Prime Minister (1st Speaker)

Cooperative is a company that is owned and managed by

the people who work in it: happening or appearing every week

an amount of money that is borrowed, often from a bank, and has to be paid back,

usually together with an extra amount of money that you have to pay as

a charge for borrowing: to forbid or refuse to allow something.

Living frugally when a crisis is happening will help us to be free from

financial problems. In mediocre conditions, it must be realized that not all desires

must be fulfilled and in spending money, it must also be proportional

In general, cooperative weekly loan is informal financing services from

certain parties to the lower middle class. It is usually not part of a financial

institution that supervised by the Financial Service Authority (OJK)

Now days, there are many cooperative weekly that offers loans with a

weekly installment system. There are many daily or weekly the field officer that

we can meet on the streets. Usually the field officers offer loan to stalls or traders

on the roadside or in the market.

To build a new business, of course there needs to be collaboration. Including

the matter of finding funds for initial capital. Now the progress of fintech, or online
money lending services, is increasing rapidly. Many people are now looking for

alternative funding other than traditional financial services.

Cooperative weekly has field officers (PDL). They go around every day to

offer loans as well as to attract installments to the community. The targets of this

cooperative are women, whether they have a home-based business, a shop or those

who don’t have a business. The requirements to become a members are very easy,

just by submitting a photocopy of the identity card (KTP). In recent years,

cooperative weekly loan seems to be a solution for people who are not covered by

official financial institution facilites because the location is far from their area or

the people themselves who do not have good financial literacy and legal lending

institution.

Cooperative weekly loan introduce themselves as loan cooperatives. But

their legality needs to be investigated further whether they are registered with the

OJK or not. It caused of many of cooperative weekly loan are managed

individually. Those who are have much money takes advantages of the citizen

loans with the interest up to 30%.

1. Very high interest

Cooperative weekly loan also has higher interest rates than bank interest.

Cooperative weekly loans are really very detrimental to the community, at first

they help but instead extort the wealth of people who are less economically. They

are already difficult with their situation to meet the necessities of life plus the debt

they borrow from the mobile bank which has very large interest. Because of this

high interest the people

2. Having discount for large administration fee


Although the interest rates offered by mobile banks tend to be high, reaching

10% to 25% and there are administrative fees charged to customers

3. Small loan ceiling

4. Wasting time

5. The problem is shared together

There are also unpleasant things that he experienced while being a customer,

namely when his 'group' colleagues did not pay the installments or lacked them, so

that one group had to jointly and severally overcome the amount of the shortage.

Because they already have a loan record at mobile bank A, and the repayment

period is still relatively long, and the option to apply for a loan at another mobile

bank has been done before, while the need can't wait, causing people to act

'naughty' by applying for loans using someone else's identity.

The easy and fast process, as well as the light requirements may be a special

excitement for the community, but that doesn't mean it's without risk. Verification

that is less detailed and thorough from the officer can cause losses to both parties,

both the mobile bank and the customer. This phenomenon is sometimes known by

officers, but officers prefer to close their eyes. As long as the installments run

smoothly and there are no shortages, then every thing is fine.

In the short term, the presence of mobile banks does lighten the burden on the

community and is very helpful in urgent situations, it's just that wisdom is needed

from the community so as not to make mobile banks the answer to all existing

financial problems, so that excessive dependence does not occur, and borrowing

and borrowing behavior unhealthy as above can be avoided.

Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)


In economic practice, capital is very important in the continuation process of

an economy, both macro (big __ country) and micro (small __ financial institutions

and other small economic sectors, such as home industries, traders, laborers,

farmers, small entrepreneurs, etc.). Access to sources of financial capital (finance)

is very important for the smooth running of an economic activity

Sanusi is one of the victims of the "Mobile Bank" considered by some "lower

class" residents as a solution to get rid of the deadlocks of everyday life problems.

Many of the residents have "lived it". Until he himself did not know that it was not

a meaningful solution. Even some familiar examples, the items in the house have

been required to be confiscated by the perpetrators of the 'Mobile Bank' because of

the inflated interest on the loan.

he told me he had also experienced it in another place of residence. Due to

his wife's debt at that time, he felt being chased by debt. Considering that the

interest is getting bigger at each turn of the day, he also admits that he has to spend

extra money for his needs at home. Why not, people who are given loans must

provide additional amounts that vary, from 5% to 30% or even up to 100% of the

nominal value or amount borrowed by the community from the mobile bank. By

determining the amount of return, the borrower must be successful or profitable in

doing his business, isn't doing a business certainly not going to be separated from

risk and return (risk of loss and profit), what if the borrower suffers a loss in his

business, but the mobile bank "provides" loans” do not want to know about the

condition of their customers while still having to return the amount of money

borrowed and the increase (interest) that has been set at the beginning, isn't that

economic killing, people's bankruptcy, strangling the economy of the small people

and even worse the impoverishment of the people? "including ways that are

forbidden by religion, such as cheating etc" in order to be able to pay debts and
additional fees set by mobile banks. Access to sources of financial capital (finance)

is very important for the smooth running of an economic activity.

To build a new business, of course there needs to be collaboration. Including the

matter of finding funds for initial capital.

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)

Is it wrong for loan sharks to exist and is it the fault of the people associated with

loan sharks? In this case, there is no time to find out who is wrong and who is

right. One thing we need to understand is that poor people need money to support

their lives, there is no longer any hope other than mobile banks or moneylenders

who can be relied on especially if the situation is urgent.

Sometimes, the lower middle class people are difficult to have a money.

They want to manage a micro or ultra micro business but getting business capital

from the financial institutions or bank is not easy due to various factors. That

situation makes some people difficult to get funding for businesses. Because of that

cooperative weekly loan is needed. The people can loan the money in the amount

of hundreds or millions rupiah.


Getting a loan from an official financial institution or bank for some people

is not easy. The administartive requirements that line up cannot be fulfilled.

Especially if you have to include collateral or guarantees.

Borrowing from cooperative weekly brings convenience in carrying out

daily activities in the midst of uncertain income. Many people are now looking for

GOVERNMENT (K-POP REDUCES NATIONALISM SPRIRIT AMONG

INDONESIA TEENEGERS)

Prime Minister (1st Speaker)

K-Pop is short for Korean popular music. It is a genre of music originating

in South Korea. Some say K-pop offered another style of music which has catchier

and offer easy listening songs for their lovers. What makes it different too is that

the style of the singer has shown is something new for us and how they can deliver

music on their own way that none of this ever existed before. Just like how they

could mix perfectly between the upbeat songs with various kinds of dancing and

obviously with their good looking actresses who will make anyone who watch it

will fall for them. Reduce is to make something become smaller in size, amount,

degree, importance, etc. Nationalism is a great or too great love of your country

particular way of thinking, feeling or behaving. It is an ideology held by people

who believe their nation is superior to all others. This sense of superiority often has

its roots in a shared ethnicity.  In other contexts, nationalism is built around a

shared language, religion, culture, or set of social values. The nation emphasizes

shared symbols, folklore, and mythology. Shared music, literature, and sports may
further strengthen nationalism. Teeneger is young person between 13 and 19 years

old.

Indonesia is a country that values diversity. Because these differences are

one part of Indonesia. As is known, there are currently many foreign cultures

entering Indonesia, Kpop culture is no exceptionThe love for K-Pop has been

spreading widely nowadays, especially in Indonesia. The attitude of nationalism is

very important for every citizen to have. From the understanding conveyed by

several experts, the most prominent is that nationalism is an attitude or desire

possessed by a person to achieve unity, shared goals and independence (Tysara,

2021). Simply put, nationalism is an attitude to love the homeland.

Korean pop culture or Hallyu successful influence society life and culture

especially for the teenagers. The various product of Korean culture from drama,

movie, song, fashion and industry Korea’s product, because K-pop music can

anesthetize his lover from side dynamic music until fashion model that popular in

Korea.

The impact on teenagers. With the introduction of Korean culture, today's

teenagers often follow the language style of Korean people, in fact it is not

uncommon for someone to use Korean in their daily conversations and that's all

they learn from their frequent listening and watching of Korean dramas.

By liking K-pop fans usually will always get the latest updates of their idols

as a fans' nature is to dig as much as they can as long as it's related to their idols

and that will force them to be aware on how to connect themselves with the world

that might make them being sophisticated teenagers. Sounds rare? But that’s the

truth. Knowing K-pop will make fans curious about South Korea itself, as they will

be trying to be closer to their idols as much as they can, they would try to learn

South Korea's culture and language. However, this can be a negative impact,
because after all they should respect their own language more than the language of

other countries. This is what makes them sometimes forget their identity as

Indonesians.

Korean culture is very influential, especially Indonesian youth. Starting from

Korean drama shows, they feel like it, so they will try to find information from

actors and actresses who they consider their favorite characters. Inadvertently, they

will get other information from things that are the favorites of their favorite

characters so they know what is in Korea. For Korean fans, getting to know the

culture such as wearing Hanbok or Korean traditional clothes, learning to cook

Kimchi and learning the language are also mandatory things to do. As a result,

their sense of pride and curiosity is increasing towards Korean culture, thereby

creating a sense of love for Korean culture compared to the culture in Indonesia.

Indonesian people responded well, they were very enthusiastic to be able to

see and meet their idol in person. They are willing to push to buy tickets, they are

willing to pay dearly, and some from outside the area are willing to watch their

idol. We can compare, in an area showing a regional art, we take the example,

wayang kulit. Held without any contribution, only a few who want to watch. This

is evidence that local culture is increasingly being abandoned.

Many of our society, especially young people, forget their identity as

Indonesians, because their lifestyle tends to imitate KPOP culture. Prefer Korean

culture to monotonous native Indonesian culture.

The teenegers will buy something that relate to their fans. They will not

respect with something around them. They also will go to the concert and wasting

much money to buy the tickets. They also will stream the music video on the

youtube of their idol. We cannot compared the Indonesian fans and Korean fans.

Sometimes, they will membela their idol although they are the same country. They
prefer to learn Korean culture than Indonesia. It shows that the K-Pop reduces the

nationalism among the teenegers. Korean wave has taken and influenced the world

by storm for almost arguably 2 decades by now.

Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)

Indonesia has a variety of cultures which are the wealth or assets of the

nation. Various languages, ethnic groups, and customs become beautiful

accessories on the equatorial stretch of land. This can be said as a characteristic of

the nation that we must protect and preserve as a form of love for the homeland or

nationalism.

The culture of this South Korean country is anesthetizing most Indonesian

teenagers. As a result, there are many teenagers who have excessive fanaticism. It

can be seen from teenagers imitating Korean dances or dances and Korean artists'

clothing styles (boyband/girlband). In other words, teenagers who are still unstable

are more glorifying K-Pop culture.

The phenomenon of the proliferation of popular culture or global culture,

namely K-Pop, not only has an impact on the erosion of national culture which is a

special feature of the Indonesian nation but also has an impact on nationalism.

Despite the view from the adults that liking K-pop will cause teenagers to

lose their nationalism, as when someone is obsessed about something, they will do

everything related to it and by liking K-pop means that teenagers will spend more

time in learning about South Korea and forgetting about Indonesia's tradition and

culture. Adults have also been saying that K-pop just gives distraction to teenagers.

Especially parents think that their children are distracted from their studies as they

always think about K-pop, watching videos about K-pop or reading fan fiction and

neglect their studies.


Another reason that was given by them is because of the consumerism soul

of teenagers. It is true that being K-pop fans is not cheap. Even an album that only

has 5 songs in it could cost Rp. 200,000 . It is a fans nature that they want to meet

their idols so when their idols come, they become desperate to watch the concerts

and moreover whenever there's concert, merchandises such as light-stick, banner

would be essential for them to cheer their idols and all of those are not cheap.

Adults are thinking that it's just wasting money.

Korean cultures that enter and cause various problems in this country, for

instance the decline in the love of culture and nationalism of the teenagers or

younger generation. Indonesian culture can be lost with time because the teenagers

prefer to imitate foreign cultures. The teenagers as the nation's successors must be

able to maintain the preservation of their respective regional cultures to strengthen

our identity as Indonesians. However, we feel hopeless when we see that teenagers

these days feel more proud of foreign cultures. Whereas the key to cultural

conservation lies in the intention and enthusiasm of teenagers to continue to

preserve and the previous generation teaches what they know about the country's

culture, history and traditions to the younger generation.

Indonesians teenagers must be diligent in learning local languages, regional

dances, watching traditional performances or traditional ceremonies, so that their

love for culture grows and develops. Now days, teenagers tend to like watching

Korean drama and all of everything that related to Korea. The teenagers must be

proud of the temples, woven cloth, plate dance, drum beats, because this is the

identity of the Indonesian people. Our struggle now is to return that love to the

teenagers of Indonesia. Cultivate a sense of love for our culture from a young age.

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)


The psychological condition of teenagers who are still unstable and easily

influenced is the reason this popular culture can anesthetize teenagers. Plus,

adolescence is a period of searching for identity which is identical to the process of

identifying the character of idol figures, so that teenagers imitate various things

about their idols.

The teenagers will waste their money. Internet access to open the social

media clearly affects financial conditions and internet costs in Indonesia which

tend to be still expensive when compared to other countries (they are already free).

It could be categorized as waste, because it is not productive. Another matter if

they use it for business purposes. However, the presence of Kpop, which is starting

to become a trend, makes teenagers in Indonesia love Kpop culture more than their

own culture. Not infrequently they forget the culture of their own country.

Some kpop fanatics or what are commonly called toxic fans who don't want

to give up defending their idols

motion today. It said that k-pop reduces the nationalism spirit among the

Indonesian teenagers. It is fine for teenagers to like K-pop. Fond of Korean idol is

fine. Admiring someone who has professionalism in doing their job will bring a

good suggestion to the fans that will suggest the fans to do the same. That’s why k-

pop doesn’t reduce the nationalism spirit among the Indonesian teenagers.

The unstable psychology of adolescents makes them easily influenced by

their surroundings, including foreign cultures. In fact, teenagers are the nation's

successors who should love and develop Indonesian culture. This adolescent

vulnerability must be used by the surrounding environment (school and parents) to

instill a sense of nationalism. Because nationalism is a form of our love for the

Indonesian state which is realized by preserving and preserving the original culture

of the country as a characteristic of the nation in the midst of cultural globalization.

As it is already a fan's nature for admiring and feeling proud to the attitude

of their idol. Being a K-pop artist is really hard, they must have good grade at

school because their grades would show whether they are willing to learn or not,

and have a good skill that has been examined by the agency and also a good

attitude. So that’s why professionalism is the most important thing for being a K-

pop artist. This professionalism will enforce teenagers to do so.

Fans want to be like their idols, K-Pop idols are showing hard working

attitude and how they never give up their dreams and become better as time goes

by, for example they undergo packed and brutal training schedule in order for them

to be better and better. Thus it will motivate the fans. Another thing that it is
already a nature for fans when they love an idol, they'll do everything. Many of K-

pop artists also are smart. This will motivate the teenagers to study hard as much as

their idol.

K-pop fans in Indonesia get a lot of achievements in real life and like kpop

only to motivate and serve as encouragement for these kpop fans.

A student at the Semarang State Islamic University, Khoirul.If Khoirul

mentions that he has liked Kpop for a long time and it doesn't reduce his sense of

nationalism, even though he sometimes feels he doesn't care, the phenomenon of

Omnibus Law's refusal touches his conscience to follow it. Like listening to the

anthem Indonesia Raya, sometimes he can cry listening to the Indonesian national

anthem. According to him, even though he likes kpop, it is possible for him to

forget his homeland and the phenomenal phenomena that occur in Indonesia.

Kompasiana.com.

Loving other country’s music is not prohibited, but the teenegers must

defend the development of Indonesian music.

Korean fans usually do fundraising to help others Indonesian. For example

when tsunami in Palu many fandoms (calling for the fans of kpop). That’s why K-

Pop is not reduces the nationalism of the teenegers. By liking k-pop this is useful

for teenagers as it could enrich their knowledge about the world outside.

The teenagers could widen their social intercourse and even knowledge.

Why? When someone likes K-pop I can make sure that they will not keep it for her

or himself. They will share it with others, for example joining fans gathering, K-

pop fans will try to spread the love. When in 2021 Indonesia experiences a disaster
makes k-pop feel touched. Fanbase K-pop from various groups and agencies unite

to raise disaster funds for Indonesia. Through a social fundraising application, the

Kpop fanbase has succeeded in raising disaster funds of up to billions of rupiah. Of

the 16 K-pop fanbases that gathered, as many as 45 thousand people succeeded in

generating a total donation of 1.4 billion in one of the social fundraising

applications. The collected funds are distributed to various regions in Indonesia to

buy food and daily necessities for disaster victims. This disaster fundraising action

is strong evidence that Kpopers is not always synonymous with the lost of a sense

of nationalism but fosters a sense of nationalism

Opposition Whip (3rd Speaker)

K-pop also teaches the beauty of differences, and a sense of kinship between

fans and their idols. Therefore, differences must be respected, everyone has their

own preferences. Only how to appreciate these differences, as well as children of

the nation must still love and not forget their own culture. Because it is a matter of

pride and identity as an Indonesian citizen.

Fans take idol achievements as their reference or motivation to achieve their

dreams. Holding a gathering that inserts or combines K-Pop culture with

Indonesian culture as a form of youth's love for Indonesian culture as well as an

effort to preserve Indonesian culture, so that teenagers do not lose their identity as

Indonesians. Humans were created by God to have a liking for something. For

example, I like English and I don't deny that I also like foreign things (such as

movies, songs, etc.). But it's just a matter of personal interest, nothing to do with a

sense of nationalism. Try to look at things in a positive way. We don't know what

the motivation of people to use English on social media is, because only he and

God know. The intention is to learn English with the aim of bringing Indonesia
forward and being known by many other countries, and not with the intention of

reducing our sense of Nationalism.

Our sense of nationalism is also not manifested by using the Indonesian

language on a daily basis, but by using domestic products, obeying existing

regulations, and excelling abroad and making Indonesia proud. The proof is that

nowadays there are more and more children who excel and make the Indonesian

nation proud.

To realize this sense of nationalism, Indonesian children must upgrade

themselves by adapting to the current situation in the world.

The sense of nationalism remains and does not decrease because liking kpop

is only for entertainment. The teenagers may like k-pop but they still love

Indonesia. It is their country. If they love their homeland, they can also teach

Indonesian culture to their idols and k-pop fans from other countries. In fact, K-

pop is one of the main factors that motivate the teenagers to study even harder and

keep up good marks. They see K-pop as their motivation. Their sense of

nationalism is also not manifested by using the Indonesian language on a daily


basis, but by using domestic products, obeying existing regulations, and excelling

abroad and making Indonesia proud. Telling the culture and everything about

Indonesia to their idol and also to other k-pop fans around the world. It makes the

idol and also the other k-pop fans get interested to Indonesia and decide to come to

this country. That why our group does not agree with the motion. K-POP is not

reducing the nationalism spirit among Indonesian teenagers.

children go to be educated or a place that teaching and learning activities which

Arabic, Dutch, and Japanese. But the nationalism of Indonesian people in general

remains high. English language in Indonesia is generally taught as a foreign

language (FL). The term 'foreign language' in the field of language teaching is
different from that of 'second language'. “Foreign language is a language that is not

used as a means of communication in certain countries where the language is

taught. While a second language is a language that is not the primary language, but

it becomes one of the languages commonly used in the country”

He realizes that the importance of using good and correct English from an

early age is expected to be able to make Indonesia's young generation qualified,

competent, and become reliable leaders, and able to compete in international

competitions. In addition, this competition is expected to be a golden opportunity

for children from all over the region to interact. "It is important for children to be

introduced to other cultures as early as possible because from there they will grow

an attitude of mutual respect and respect for others outside of themselves. Because

learning a language also means learning culture," he said. By respecting each other

from different regional and cultural backgrounds, an attitude of nationalism will be

embedded in their hearts. This is understandable because nationalism is an

understanding that creates and maintains the sovereignty of a country in realizing a

common identity concept for a group of people. "So, although they are different,

they come from one country, the sovereign Unitary State of the Republic of

Indonesia," he said again.

The participant's parents, Harman, father of Jeane Naila Anstyadi, one of the

participants in the 2012 EF English First Spelling Bee National Competition,

admitted that this sense of nationalism is embedded in children who learn English.

He said that the more proficient one is in English, the more chances of becoming a

nationalist. "Through English, our children can introduce Indonesia, which is very

diverse in ethnicity and culture to foreigners, most of whom can speak English.

The more mastered a foreign language, the wider the horizons and associations, the
greater the opportunity to introduce Indonesia to the wider community,

international," he said

Deputy Prime Minister (2nd Speaker)

As one of the subjects that are very directly related to everyday human life,

English really needs to be socialized because without knowing the language, we

will get a gap in communication, especially in today's global era where English is a

bridge for oral and written communication.

So, can applying English from an early age affect children's nationalism? As

is well known, learning English for the majority of children in Indonesia is a

second or even third language learning—if the child is taught the regional language

first, and the first language is of course Indonesian. Because of this, the child will

grow up from several languages, Indonesian as the main language, regional

language as a second language, and English as the language when, otherwise

known as bilingual.

There is no need to worry about the application of English from an early age,

because in educational institutions ranging from Elementary School (SD) to Higher

Education level, Citizenship Education (PKN) subjects are always available, even

become mandatory subjects. The value that needs to be built in the education and

character building of children is the value of Pancasila. Because in this Pancasila

value, there is the character of the Indonesian nation, so that it can foster the
character of children who have a nationalist spirit. By continuing to apply this

teaching, of course the children will not forget the existence of the Indonesian

language, because after all, Indonesian is their first language. This is why teachers

and parents must always be able to teach the values of Pancasila to children, from

an early age.

Then, the results of research also show that bilingual children often have a good

and positive impact on the educational development of the children themselves.

Because, the use of English from an early age is also expected to be able to make

children as the nation's successors who have quality, and are able to compete

internationally. By continuing to apply the values of Pancasila, the child will grow

a sense of nationalism and love for the homeland by itself. So that the application

of English from an early age does not at all reduce the children's sense of

nationalism.

Government Whip (3rd Speaker)

To clarify the two opinions, we will discuss them one by one. For proponents of

using foreign languages, the assumption of undermining nationalism is considered

an exaggeration. There is nothing wrong with teaching children foreign languages

from an early age. For example, about basic English skills. This will prepare them

to face global competition in the future.

In addition, a foreign language can be a plus when looking for a job. Considering

that many foreign companies require their employees to be able to speak foreign

languages, especially English. As the official language of the world, English is

certainly one of the most widely used languages. Almost all countries in the world

master English to establish cooperative relationships, so many people learn

examples of formal and informal Greeting conversations.


A study also strengthens this assumption. J. Cummins research reveals that

children who master two languages are better able to explore and use language

effectively. They are able to put the two languages equally and correctly if they

learn daily conversation in English. Of course, by following the rules of using the

right language, such as correct Indonesian spelling and English grammar. It is

necessary to distinguish between learning a foreign language and being active in a

foreign language. Learning a foreign language has positive benefits, such as

increasing knowledge and abilities. At least the children are introduced to the

original Indonesian language first. After they master it, then they are taught a

foreign language. Mohammad Nuh conveyed different things regarding the use of

foreign languages. According to him, foreign languages do not necessarily affect

the sense of nationalism. Everything goes back to the community's own

commitment. Do they want to maintain the language of unity or not? As long as

they realize the importance of speaking Indonesian, of course their use will also be

better understood. No more jumbled language that seems eccentric.

By respecting each other from different regional and cultural backgrounds, an

attitude of nationalism will be embedded in their hearts. This is understandable

because nationalism is a unity that creates and maintains the sovereignty of a

country in realizing a concept of a common identity for a group of people. So, even

though they are different, they come from one country, the sovereign Republic of

Indonesia and which is learning English, the more proficient a person is in English,

the more opportunities there are to become a nationalist.

Through English with the method applied at SMPN 1 Wonotunggal, our children

can introduce Indonesia, which is very diverse in ethnicity and culture to

foreigners, most of whom can speak English. The more mastered a foreign

language, the wider the horizons and the association, the greater the opportunity to
introduce Indonesia to the wider and international community. Now I realize that

learning English is quite important as well as using Indonesian

Government Reply Speaker (1st Speaker)

It all comes back to your intention and purpose in learning a foreign language. If

the goal is positive, you have the right to continue it without reducing the spirit of

nationalism. Basically, nationalism can be contained in various aspects of life, not

only regarding the use of foreign languages.

OPPOSITION (LEARNING ENGLISH AT SCHOOL BOOSTS

NASIONALISM AMONG STUDENTS)

Leader of Opposition (1st Speaker)

Learning is the activity of obtaining knowledge. English is the language that

is spoken in the UK, the US, and in many other countries. School is a place where

children go to be educated or a place that teaching and learning activities which

happen or a place where people can study a particular subject. Boost is

to improve or increase something. Nationalism is a great or

too great love of your own country. Student is someone who is learning at a school.

English is an international language and is used worldwide. Hence, it must

be mastered by anyone who would like to interact and succeed internationally.

Indonesian people have been for long time dealing with foreign languages such as

Arabic, Dutch, and Japanese. But the nationalism of Indonesian people in general

remains high. English language in Indonesia is generally taught as a foreign

language (FL). The term 'foreign language' in the field of language teaching is
different from that of 'second language'. “Foreign language is a language that is not

used as a means of communication in certain countries where the language is

taught. While a second language is a language that is not the primary language, but

it becomes one of the languages commonly used in the country”

Deputy of Opposition (2nd Speaker)

Some people feel that foreign languages can weaken the spirit of nationalism. The

reason is, active users of foreign languages will rarely use Indonesian.

Not infrequently they also mix the use of English grammar or other languages with

Indonesian carelessly. Of course this can damage the rules of Indonesian language.

Using a foreign language too often in daily life will make it more difficult for

someone. They will experience confusion indirectly about the rules of language.

The position of Indonesian as a unified language has certainly gone through

various considerations. Moreover, the millennial generation now accepts many

new languages that come from outside and this is made a current trend by them. If

other younger generations do not use these new languages, then they are

considered not slang and are considered as village people who are not updated with

the outside world.

The millennial generation is very easily influenced by the entry of foreign cultures.

They will always follow developments regardless of the impact that will occur in

the future
