In civic education, we can find the characteristic of Indonesian society is a reflection of the growth and development of the Indonesian line of all time, way of life, attitudes, problems of life, or life guidance of Indonesia, Republic of Indonesia is a common goal that is implemented in the United National Development for creating a just and equitable society and spiritually prosperous material Pancasila in the Republic of Indonesia's independence.
