Currently, social media has become an important part of the lives of the younger generation. On one hand, social media offers great benefits such as access to information, social networking, and creativity. However, irresponsible use can trigger negative impacts, one of which is moral decadence, especially among the younger generation. This research aims to analyze the impact of social media on the moral decadence of the younger generation and to design solutions based on Pancasila values. The method used is a literature review, analyzing information from various relevant academic sources. The research results show that social media, although beneficial, contributes to various moral issues, such as the increase in online bullying, the use of inappropriate language, becoming individualistic/antisocial, and engaging in cybercrime. As a solution, the values of Pancasila are implemented through spiritual education, digital campaigns that instill empathy and solidarity, promotion of tolerance and unity, as well as the enhancement of digital literacy. This research concludes that the implementation of Pancasila values can be a relevant and solution-oriented approach to addressing the moral decadence of the younger generation in the digital era.

This study aims to analyze the role of study tour activities to the Heroes Museum in strengthening students' national defense attitudes. In the digital era, many young generations lack awareness of national values ​​and the history of the nation's struggle. This is indicated by the low appreciation of the services of the heroes. The Heroes Museum as a historical education space has strategic potential in instilling patriotic values ​​through direct experience. Using the literature study method, this study collected data from books and scientific articles. The results show that experience-based activities, such as museum visits, are effective in increasing students' understanding of history, heroic values, and nationalism. In addition, museum visits can build students' character, such as a sense of responsibility, discipline, and love for the country. This study concludes that a study tour to the Heroes Museum not only enriches students' historical insights, but also instills moral values ​​and builds national identity in depth.

Indonesia is a country with high religious, cultural and ethnic diversity, where the potential for conflict and intolerance often becomes a challenge in social life. In this context, the Ecumenical Movement plays a strategic role as a forum for Christian unity across denominations to support the development of peace and tolerance in Indonesia. Through an approach to inter-religious dialogue, inclusive education and social action, this movement contributes to strengthening social harmony and building cross-religious solidarity. The Ecumenical Movement succeeded in reducing inter-religious prejudice, promoting respect for diversity, and forming a tolerant young generation. The Ecumenical Movement not only plays a role in strengthening internal relations among Christians but is also an important actor in creating peace and social stability in Indonesia's multicultural society.

Youth are a generation that lives in the digital era and they are very adept at using digital devices and are always updated with current technological developments. Technological developments cannot be avoided by anyone, including the church. There needs to be innovation and strategies for using technology in church services. The use of technology will make it easier for the church to reach and build the identity of youth, but on the other hand, if the church is resistant to technological developments, it is likely that church youth will withdraw and find it difficult to get involved in church activities. The role of the church in shaping the spiritual identity of the younger generation in the digital era is becoming increasingly important along with developments in technology and information. In an era where access to a variety of content and outside influences is very easy, the church has a great responsibility to ensure that young people have a solid spiritual foundation. The church can play an effective role in shaping the spiritual identity of the younger generation amidst the flow of digital information. And churches can use various methods and strategies to help youth build their spiritual identity. This includes the use of technology to spread religious teachings, the creation of supportive online communities, and the provision of targeted spiritual formation. Apart from that, the church also needs to understand the unique dynamics and challenges in the digital era, such as changes in lifestyle and values ​​faced by today's young generation.

Discipline is one of the parts included in the implementation of the Indonesian student profile. To create a golden and superior Indonesia, of course the nation's children as the next generation must be equipped as well as possible, including in terms of education. Student discipline has experienced a decline, both discipline at home, discipline at school, and especially discipline in the community. Many school children often go to school late, are often reckless on the street, often wander around at night, rarely pray, and have other bad behavior. This shows that student ethics and discipline have experienced a significant decline, which if left unchecked will definitely hinder the realization of a golden and superior Indonesia. That is why as an educator, a PAK teacher must be able to guide the nation's future young generation to live ethically and disciplined lives. With the ethics and professionalism possessed by PAK teachers, it is hoped that more and more students will live disciplined and civilized lives.  

Education is an important foundation for individual and societal development. Education systems in various countries have unique characteristics that reflect their values, history and socio-economic needs. In a global context, the education systems in the United States and Germany are examples of two very different but equally influential approaches in shaping the future of their young generation. Education in the United States is known for its diverse and flexible system. The country has adopted a decentralized model, in which educational responsibility rests largely with states and school districts. Curriculum often varies from region to region, giving freedom to adapt course material to local needs. This system also prioritizes the principle of inclusion, with various programs that support diversity and access to education for all students, including those with special needs. High schools offer a variety of educational pathways, including academic, vocational, and arts pathways, giving students the freedom to choose according to their interests and talents. Education in Germany is famous for its structured system and focus on early specialization. After completing basic education, students in Germany follow different educational paths according to their abilities and interests, through a system known as, Realschule or Gymnasium. Vocational education is also receiving great attention in Germany, with many students following a dual system that combines practical training in the workplace with theoretical education at school. This system aims to ensure that students gain skills relevant to the needs of the job market and facilitate a smooth transition from education to the world of work. With these differences in approach, each country offers valuable insight into how education can be organized to meet social and economic goals. Comparative analysis between these two systems can provide insight into the strengths and challenges of each model, as well as the potential for implementing best practices in a global educational context.

Corruption has been a well-known problem in Indonesia for a long time. News of corruption cases often becomes a hot topic, especially in this digital age where information spreads rapidly. Unfortunately, statistics show that public reaction to corruption cases in 2024 was more permissive than in the previous year. This is undoubtedly a hindrance in realizing the vision of Indonesia Gold 2045. Therefore, as one of the efforts, a socialization on law enforcement and anti-corruption was conducted at SMA Negeri 34 Jakarta on October 15, 2024, aiming to create a young generation that is law-abiding and anti-corruption. In this activity, students were invited to understand corruption in depth, including the legal basis, the impact of corruption, and how to prevent the seeds of corruption from an early age. Using an interactive and engaging approach, as well as examples of familiar corruption cases, students not only learned about the law, but also developed an awareness of the importance of maintaining integrity in their daily lives.

The word mission is derived from Misio Dei, meaning that the Triune God plays a role in it, God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Understanding the role of the Triune God in Misio Dei will help a strong mission movement in the church. The church is the channel of God's mission to proclaim the good news that the Kingdom of God has come. The church is responsible for carrying out God's mission so that the mission movement remains sustainable. The younger generation is the only successor to the mission movement in the church, therefore it is necessary to discover the obstacles in the mission movement in the younger generation so that the church continues carrying on the mission. JKI Injil Kerajaan Church is one of the churches whose mission is to build a generation of disciple leaders who are pleasing to God and impact others. The younger generation at the JKI IK Church has not become missionaries since 2020. The factor that influenced the decline in missionaries at the JKI IK Church was the existence of an identity crisis. This self-identity crisis can be addressed by strengthening the relationship with the Holy Spirit. In addition, we must learn from the expansion of the early church where the supporting factors for the expansion of the early church were the renewing power of the Gospel, fruitful and reaping evangelistic motivation, context-appropriate service variations, conducive geo-political factors and recruiting workers for the expansion of church missions.

In recent years, the issue that has become a hot topic of discussion among both the national and international communities is the issue of environmental damage. Therefore, in the economic context, there is a need for a transformation towards a green economy. The Indonesian government is promoting the TPB/SDGs Indonesia 2030 program. Realizing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030 is a shared responsibility that requires participation from all sectors, including the government, civil society, and the private sector. Therefore, considering the importance of sustainable development in the field of investment itself, several global organizations have established a measure that calculates sustainable development known as ESG investing. ESG consists of Environment, Social, and Governance, which adds value to companies that care about and think about the environment, such as issues related to carbon emissions, water and air pollution, and other environmental issues. This research aims to determine the role of the younger generation as agents of change through ESG Investment in realizing the 2030 SDGs. The research method utilized in this scientific paper is a combination research method with data collection through literature review. This research is expected to provide insights into the urgency of the younger generation in realizing the 2030 SDGs.

With the development of the times, the lives of today's young people have a way of getting along and a communication style that is greatly influenced by the environment. In fact, it is also inseparable from the influence of technology which is very rapidly developing in this era, where young people are now more active in using or utilizing the development of technology through communication tools in which there are social media such as mobile phones, laptops, and others that are connected to the internet network. Without having to meet and interact in person, they will get a very extraordinary influencer, which will shape their character to be good or even vice versa. The influence of the development of technology and community has a great influence on the lives and future of young people. Both in general and especially God's children who are lay and those who are involved in the ministry. No less important is when they start thinking about their future with various family backgrounds and their current conditions. Sometimes worries arise about their future, making them do something that seems good, but actually makes them start to move away from God. The author's hope is to create a young generation who fear God.

The culture of corruption that is pervasive in Indonesian society presents major challenges for Correctional Institutions, especially in maintaining financial integrity. The prison treasurer has a strategic role in responding to this phenomenon through a series of steps such as implementing a transparent financial management system, increasing strict internal supervision, and regular training for employees regarding ethics and integrity. Apart from that, community involvement and collaboration with external institutions are also needed to strengthen accountability and ensure that efforts to eradicate corruption are effective. Through a comprehensive and collaborative approach, prisons strive to create an environment that is clean and free from corruption. These efforts are not only focused on internal reform, but also on strengthening relations between government institutions, civil society and the private sector, in order to build a system that is more accountable and has high integrity. In the midst of existing progress, significant challenges still hinder this effort, but multidimensional efforts are expected to provide long-term positive impacts.

Corruption is a serious issue that hinders development and disrupts the social order in Indonesia. Efforts to prevent corruption rely not only on law enforcement but also on character building and the instillation of integrity from an early age. Education in schools plays a crucial role in shaping young generations with integrity and an awareness of anti-corruption values. Through a curriculum that emphasizes moral values, ethics, and social responsibility, schools can serve as the foundation for creating a society free from corruption. Anti-corruption education must become an integral part of the national education system. As a recommendation, the government and relevant stakeholders should strengthen the implementation of anti-corruption education in schools by providing teacher training and developing age-appropriate materials for students. The suggestion needed is to provide training to security guards and canteen guards, so that students get better anti-corruption education.  

Self-confidence is a character that must be instilled in oneself from an early age, especially in this case for teenagers in the coastal area of Tomini Bay. The coastal area of Tomini Bay has rich natural resource potential and diverse cultural diversity. However, this area often faces various challenges, especially in terms of education and character development of its young generation. Teenagers tend to feel unable to be equal to other teenagers in urban environments. This is because of their low self-confidence. Therefore, starting from this problem, the community service offers a solution by forming a self-confidence character through Public Speaking training for junior high school students in the coastal area of Tomini Bay. Public Speaking training gives students the opportunity to practice speaking in front of many people, be able to respond to feedback constructively, and overcome nervousness or anxiety. A structured and ongoing training program is expected to form a self-confidence character in students. The implementation of this community service activity uses a training method. This community service activity will be carried out at SMP Negeri 3 Satap Bonepantai. This school is one of the schools included in the coastal area of Tomini Bay. It is hoped that with this service, it can be a solution for the low level of student confidence to appear speaking in public in this case through Public Speaking training.
