Youth and Socialization
Definition of Youth
Youth
is a group of young men who still need coaching and development towards the better,
in order to continue and fill development now underway; today's youth in
Indonesia is very diverse, especially when associated with educational
opportunities.
This
diversity is basically not result in differences in coaching and youth
development. The process of life experienced by the youth of Indonesia every
day either in the family, school, and community to bring greater influence in
fostering an attitude to be able to live in the community, such a process can
be referred to as socialization, socialization process that took place since
the child is in the world and will continue to proceed to the point of
culmination.
Definition of Socialization
Socialization
is a process of planting or transfer of customs or values and rules from one
generation to another in a group or society. Some sociologists call
socialization as a theory about the role (role theory). Because in the process
of socialization taught the roles to be performed by the individual.
The Social Role of Students and
Youth in the Community
In
the period 1990 to the present demonstration is still rife in various places.
At that time the student and youth described himself as a moral movement. While
the other students student movement described himself as a political movement.
Students
become broken and sometimes pragmatic. It is no secret anymore paid students to
demonstrate. Before too much telescoped role of off-campus students though
cliché, should we have to remember that the main task of the student and youth
are learning in school / college.
Social
role of students and youth in the community similar to the role of other people
in the community. Students have a special place because they are considered
intellectuals who are studying. In time as a student graduating from college, he
will find a job and go through life relatively the same with the other
residents. Community is the key holder in social and economic relations. But
when capitalism dominates, where the market has turned around 180 degrees, it
is society that is part of the market. Daily life was reduced to business and
markets.
The
direct impact can be felt since the fuel price increase in 2005 among other
things, inflation, declining purchasing power, declining public health
(malnutrition), school dropout rates (drop out), child mortality, unemployment
and poverty increased.
