My teachers to
whom I respect and my friends I am proud of…
First of
all, let us offer the Blessing and
Guidance of one almighty God so that we can gather in this room, with the
feeling of happiness and safe and sound condition.To all of my
friends.., on this occasion, I want to deliver a speech with the theme of
nationalism. As we know, spirit of nationalism or love of country should have
been grown in every citizen because it automatically becomes the strength of
the country. Many things can foster the spirit of nationalism.Growing the
spirit of nationalism can be realized easily by watching the events like the
national badminton team that wins the world championships, appreciating
Indonesian students who win the Olympic
of mathematics in Japan and other proud achievements. This, of course, will
enhance a love of country. If we have been already in love, we would want to
always keep and protect it.But what exactly happened at the moment, the spirit
of nationalism becomes increasingly sluggish with the times. Many of our people
imitate foreign action and culture adopted and broadcast freely in the
media.The depletion of the nationalism spirit among people has a major
influence on students, for their characteristic is still unstable and tend to
imitate what they think is great or "slang" in the language of
teenagers. Meanwhile, at the present time only
a few students who care about the situation of this country. In fact, as
students who are also citizens of the nation must be sensitive to the problem,
for, in spite of this, we should be concerned with our country.For the
students, cultivating and instilling a sense of nationalism can be achieved
simply by doing their assignments, that is learning so they can excel and be
proud of Indonesia in the international arena. The rest, do not act
negatively. Acting reasonably is a form
of patriotic attitude. No weapon is needed anymore like in the past.This spirit
of nationalism has to be emphasized to students like us because we who will
hold power in this country someday. So, with an approach to nationalism, we
will know how one should lead the nation in order keep growing and this country
is no longer colonized.In addition, it is also important to teach history to
students so they know the origins of this country and how hard the heroes
struggled plus knowing the identity of the nation. In this way, hopefully we
will better appreciate the services of a hero and increase the sense of
nationalism in us.
And thus enough
I deliver this speech, thanks for your attention and if there are unpleased words, I ask for your forgiveness.
See you.
