Pancasila as the ideology of the state has been agreed by the founding fathers since 1945. But the values of Pancasila have not been necessarily internalized automatically in Indonesia nationwide. In fact, for some time, Pancasila seems to be only a symbolic expression of the state without a clear implementation, both in state life and society.
Pancasila as a guideline means that the values contained in Pancasila should be a reference in the life of the whole community, to realize it then there is a need for the whole people to understand Pancasila and how to implement it. So that Pancasila is not merely a symbolic expression.
As we know, Pancasila is the foundation of the state of Indonesia, according to the BPUPKI meeting on 1 June 1945, before the proclamation of independence and as discussed in the Pancasila studies, Pancasila is meant to have a very important position.
