Strengthening Pancasila Values During the Covid-19 pandemic

 

The description of each Sila Pancasila is as follows: The efforts to apply each of the principles of Pancasila are as follows:

 

1.    Ketuhanan yang Maha esa

This value of the Godhead relates to an individual's association with something considered sacred, sacred, glorious, and noble. Understanding godliness as a view of life is to realize a full society, namely building an Indonesian society that has the soul and spirit to achieve God's pleasure in every good deed it does (Dewantara et al., 2021).

During the Covid-19 pandemic, people are encouraged to perform worship in their own homes. But now after the application of new normality, the mosque has been visited again by its worshippers. In Kampung Cikopo RW 07, Friday prayers have been conducted again in the mosque with the condition of using masks following health protocols from the government. Madrasah for children to recite about religion can also be re-implemented with the record of children using masks or face shields. Limitations when worshipping in this pandemic are seen as there is wisdom and teaching. That, the relationship with God will not always be linear by doing worship activities in mosques, churches, temples, or other places of worship. All it takes is to be able to create special relationships and communication, and worship is not just a manipulative relationship that comes to God when it comes to the village (Anwar & Salim, 2019).

The value of God governs man's relationship with the creator (Nurgiansah et al., 2020). This includes the ordinances of worship about religious religions and their respective beliefs. The value of godliness will be in line with the value of community expectations. With the Covid-19 pandemic, people are getting closer to the makers so that the health and strength of the pandemic.

 

2.    Kemanusiaan yang adil dan beradab

The value of this country of humanity means that the state must uphold the dignity and dignity of human beings. In this second syllabus, the verse also values awareness, awareness of moral attitudes, and human behavior which must become norms and cultures either above oneself, fellow human beings, or in the environment (Kurniawan, 2015).

The value of humanity means to humanize human beings according to their dignity, degrees, and dignity as human beings. Treating people humanely in various societies, nationalities, and states. Humanity has always been based on human rights that are inherent in human beings since human beings were born that are universal in nature. Universal means to apply anywhere, under any circumstances and circumstances. Indonesia has its own rules on human rights stipulated in Law No. 39 of 1999 (Nurgiansah, 2020b).

In the value of humanity, all communities have the right to get fair protection and assistance from the government. Therefore, citizens get one consequence of that is to carry out the obligation to comply with the laws and policies issued by the Government during this pandemic (Januar Mahardhani, 2020). The results of the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) survey on the social condition of demographics impact of COVID-19 shows that the recommendations for physical distancing are understood in detail by 87% of respondents, and implemented by 72% of the public. However, awareness to comply with government policy has not been fully seen in the residents of RW 07 Kampung Cikopo. Sometimes some people still do not realize that wearing a mask when out of the house is important. This is shown when residents go to the spilled market which meets many people, some residents still do not wear masks and keep their distance.

 

3.    Persatuan Indonesia

The value of Indonesian unity means that the state is the incarnation of the nature and nature of human monodualis which means human beings as individual beings and social beings. A state is an alliance of living together among the constituent elements of a state in the form of tribes, groups, races, groups, or religious groups. Therefore, the difference is the human nature and characteristics of the elements that make up the country. Differences are not intended to be a conflict and hostility but rather should be directed at a mutually beneficial synthesis (Nurgiansah, 2021b).

In this pandemic, a sense of nationalism, kinship, and cooperation is needed once (Nurgiansah, 2020a). People can stand shoulder to shoulder in the face of pandemics by providing material or non-material assistance as well as prayers to our brothers and sisters. This is very noticeable in Rw 07 community, especially when there is Friday Prayer at Nurul Hidayah Mosque. After performing the prayer, the pilgrims are usually given rice boxes by the benefactors regardless of which group or social status. United in compliance with the provisions of the law to deal with the Covid pandemic, empathy must be able to give birth to mutual unity to solve the problem (Nafisah, 2016). Helping each other, sharing, and collaborating regardless of race, ethnicity, and religion is the meaning of the third precept.

In addition to providing material assistance, increasing mutual assistance during the pandemic is to always adhere to what has been determined by the government. This is in line with Kurnia's thinking, that every Indonesian citizen is obliged to carry out the regulations that have been made by the government. Because the rules are made for the benefit of the common good (Krisnawati et al., 2020).

 

4.    Kerakyatan yang dipimpin oleh hikmat kebijaksanaan dalam permusyawaratan perwakilan

Human beings as social beings certainly need to coexist with others. In interactions with others, there is usually an agreement, mutual respect with common goals and interests (Novitasari et al., 2019). It is also in line with the meaning of populist values in Pancasila. Populist values contain the meaning of a government that is from the people, by the people, and for the people conducted by consensus deliberations through representative institutions of the people (Nurgiansah, 2021a).

The value of this fourth principle means that the decisions or policies taken are the results of deliberations as well as joint decisions that are then implemented together for the safety and interests of the nation itself. The application of this value during the pandemic is how community leaders can coordinate to understand the community about the importance of carrying out advice from the government so as not to conduct activities outside the home (Cahyono et al., 2018).

Such an application is strongly felt in the Rw 07 area of Cikopo Village, seen when there are activities that would otherwise gather a lot of people. Public figures always urge to use a mask and do not forget to wash their hands first or use a hand sanitizer. On Eid al-Adha 1441 H, the citizens who participated in the slaughter of Qurban animals were always reminded by the Chairman of RT as the leader among him to always use masks even to be provided masks from the committee.

 

5.    Keadilan sosial bagi seluruh rakyat Indonesia

In the fifth syllabus, social justice for all people has the means that there is personal and social justice. Personal justice is individual or individual justice and social justice is justice together. All Indonesians get the right to justice in law, economy, politics, and socio-culture without any impartiality in a particular group or person (Octavia & Rube’i, 2017).

Social justice for all Indonesians means that the country must do its society fairly. In times of pandemics like this, the fairness of people's handling should not be done differently. In this adaptation period of new habits, not only groups of rich people who live, do not starve and get health facilities, small people should also get the same opportunity. That is, that every element of society is entitled to the feasibility of living in this pandemic not only for the rich (Hastangka & Farid, 2020).

In times of pandemics like this, people in the lower middle class get a lot of direct assistance from the government which will help the economic burden of their families. This assistance is provided in the form of basic food aid and there is direct assistance in cash. Also, the government launched a pre-work card program with a budget of up to 20 Trillion Rupiah. This program is not specific to the victims of layoffs but to all unemployed including those who have just completed formal education (Bunyamin, 2008).

The assistance was felt by the residents of RW 07 Kampung Cikopo. One of the important targets in the elderly. As experienced by Grandma Inch, she got rice assistance provided by the village. Besides, many unemployed people also apply for the Pre-Employment Card program, so they get cash assistance. In addition to Prakerja, there is assistance from BPJS Ketenagakerjaan provided to factory employees. Assistance either in the form of BLT or voluntary assistance from a group of people is very helpful. Assistance from the government can help people's lives in their survival. This is because, during the Covid-19 pandemic, many people lost their jobs which had a direct impact on their lives. This assistance can make the poor less poor and have nothing.

In addition to the residents who actively register for assistance. The role of the Chairman of RT or other public figures must be very active. For example, rt 04 and 03 can coordinate with each other in distributing aid. When RT 03 gets more after divided, it will be distributed to citizens of RT 04 who are still deficient. This is also very following the value of justice for all Indonesians without discriminating.

The Covid-19 pandemic provides a great opportunity for all elements of society to be able to realize social justice for all. The government is currently rolling out various cards to help low-income people so they can still survive during this pandemic (Nurgiansah & Sukmawati, 2020).

The limitation in this study is the application of health protocols so that research can not be done freely as under normal circumstances. The contribution to science is that the strengthening of pancasila values should always be done in any situation and condition, including in pandemic circumstances.

 

 

CONCLUSION

On the value of humanity, every human being must be recognized and treated according to his dignity and dignity as a Creature of God YME. Therefore, every community is entitled to fair protection and assistance from the government or other communities during this pandemic. The value of unity is the most fundamental in this pandemic, how each element of society can unite and work together to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic and its effects. People who can appreciate the provisions of the political elite or government to deal with Covid-19 are one of how to implement or how to apply the value of consultative and representative in this pandemic. Giving each other help without discriminating status to the community is an example of the application of social justice values in the pandemic. The government and the community must be able to synergize to help people who are especially affected by this pandemic by assisting their survival. The covid-19 pandemic does not know when it will end. However, it is expected that every community can carry out the values of Pancasila thoroughly by always paying attention to health protocols. Uniting together to be able to assist the affected communities is the duty of all of us. Respecting the government's decision is one of our endeavors not to add to the positive case of this virus. and most importantly, always pray that this pandemic ends soon and we can do our usual activities.
