Discussions about politics are of course very interesting, in public spaces, cyberspace, coffee shops and even in wartegs. In my Humble opinion Politics can bring together people who don't even meet each other at first to become very close friends. Politics brings together people who have the same interests. However, not everyone agrees that politics is interesting, there are those who believe that politics is not good, not only that, some even seem allergic to various political issues.
Youth are the spearhead of this nation's future, come on, youth, try to participate in political activities, don't be too ambitious to occupy a position, at least on a committee during the general election or at least don't abstain once.
Making efforts to be politically literate will make young people who have quality thoughts and mentality, continue to have the desire to learn because there is no field that can be mastered well without studying it, the same is true with politics, so keep learning and persevering. so that when the opportunity comes to become a candidate for policy making (stake holder), young people will no longer be apathetic, rigid, self-centered and firm in their stance.
Come on, young people, don't remain silent, think critically and participate in giving positive aspirations to the government. Moreover, we are about to enter a political year, therefore young people must play an active role and have the courage to reject money politics or what we usually say is the dawn attack. +
Youth determine the future of the Indonesian nation?
It is no longer foreign to our ears that young people or what we usually call Gen Z have a big influence in determining the future of the Indonesian nation. This can be realized in their contribution role in the upcoming elections in 2024. Elections are a democratic process that determines who will be. leading and managing the country so that it can influence the welfare of the country and its future. Elections are a means of expression for young people in forming a democratic and responsible character.
The influence of youth in determining election results is very large, because they are large in number. According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in 2023 the number of first-time voters (17-21 years) will reach 23.5 million people or around 15% of the total voters. Youth as voters must not use their voting rights carelessly. Choose the right leader by selecting candidates who have a high vision, mission and credibility who are considered to be able to advance the country.
However, some young people are not yet able to assess their future leaders, many young people choose because they are just joining in with friends or family, are lulled by the practice of money politics, and are intimidated by the environment.
To overcome this, a high level of attitude and awareness is needed from young people. Be wise in processing or receiving information, not easily provoked by political games, and be firm in your responsible stance.
Therefore, youth voices have a big influence in determining the future of the Indonesian nation. Youth must play an active role in determining the country's leaders because one vote is very valuable. In this way, young people make an optimal contribution to democracy and the progress of the Indonesian nation. +
"Hello Sleeping Cat, my mysterious sleeping partner! I was thinking about politics. Yes, politics is like our fight over the best place on the sofa, but more complex. So it's like this, in the human world, there are those who try to control, there are those who surrender to accept it, and everything happens on a big stage called the state.
So imagine, if you were the cat president, surely the first policy you would propose would be to increase the food portion quota, right? And maybe, National Day of Sleeping All Day is also part of your important agenda. What, do we refer to our political concept?
But do you know, the difference between cat politics and us is that in the world of politics, there are no balls of yarn that we can play with. Everything is full of intrigue and complicated. I'm not sure if your sharp claws can understand all that.
Let me tell you, yesterday there was a political debate on television. The humans were really excited, attacking each other. There are those who pretend to know, there are those who pretend not to know. So I thought, wouldn't it be better if they just held a cat debate? Maybe the content is more exciting, with questions like, "What is your view on the sustainability of day-night life?" or "What do you think about shoelace exploitation as a game?"
I tried to explain all this to you, but you seemed more interested in looking at the birds outside the window or playing with a feather ball. Maybe I should try to get you closer to the new toy policy vision. Politics is complicated, isn't it, Sleeping Cat? But we can make the world of cats more fun, right? What do you think, want to be the vice president of cats?"
*Sleeping Cat just stares with half-open eyes, without giving a clear response.* +
Youth have various characteristics that are very important in facing their roles in society. One of the main characteristics of youth is creativity. They often have fresh thinking and innovative ideas that can help solve problems and develop various sectors of life. Critical thinking is also a valuable asset for youth, as they tend to view things from various perspectives, question the status quo, and promote positive change. Communication skills are another important skill possessed by youth, enabling them to convey their ideas clearly and influence others.
One of the main goals of elections is leadership regeneration. Elections provide youth with the opportunity to engage in politics and select leaders who represent their vision and values. Thus, elections are an important mechanism to ensure periodic leadership changes and to ensure the continuity of policies relevant to the times.
Youth have great opportunities to contribute in elections and beyond. They can play a role as election supporters, run political campaigns, and help increase voter participation among their peers. Moreover, youth can act as critical watchdogs who scrutinize and assess the political landscape, identify fake news (hoaxes), and ensure the quality of information available to the public.
Opportunities for youth to become future leaders also exist. By engaging in politics, building a reputation, and participating in social or community projects, youth can develop their leadership skills and prepare themselves to take on leadership roles at various levels.
Youth's contribution does not end after elections. They can continue to participate in political decision-making, monitor the actions of elected leaders, and provide input and advocacy on issues they care about. Additionally, youth can be active in community development, education, the environment, and many other aspects that affect the quality of life for the community.
Youth play a very important role in building a better future, and characteristics like creativity, critical thinking, and communication skills can be pillars for positive change in society
Youth's apathy is unfortunate to society. Since young men are prospective leaders and leaders of the nation's future, if young people do not participate or fail to respond to the state's politics, then the country will be devastated by the vast ignorance of the youth of its people. Think of it as if it were intended; it would break down and end up in the garbage. Of course, we would not want our nation to end up in a bad situation because a young person's failure makes their choice.
The young, apathetic generation is due to the mindset of those who feel disappointed and discouraged at the casual performance of the government. So young people are reluctant to make the choice, thinking it will be futile.
Moreover, the cause of young apathy is their need to understand the importance of society's involvement, particularly young men, in political decisions. Usually, these cases are caused by less discussion and socialization of young people in their democratic involvement.
So, we know that the role of the younger generation in elections is crucial and has a significant impact on the future of nations and countries. So, encouraging uninvolved youth is an obligation to a society that understands and understands this situation. We know in some cases that some leaders have yet to have significant and disappointing influences. But we must have understanding. +

Introduction:
Elections are pivotal moments in the life of a democratic nation, and the role of youth is crucial in shaping this process. Despite the resounding echoes of democracy, questions arise about the attitude of young people: are they inclined towards apathy, or do they still harbor the "What If" spirit to contribute to change?
Youth Apathy:
Many argue that a portion of the youth exhibits apathy towards the electoral process. Factors such as distrust in the political system, a lack of youth representation in the political arena, or even a sense of despair for desired change may trigger apathy. This phenomenon poses a threat to the democratic process, as the youth should ideally be proactive agents of change.
The Drive of the "What If" Spirit:
However, on the flip side, there are youths who still maintain the "What If" (Apa Ji) spirit – the willingness to participate in the electoral process. While they may not be entirely satisfied with the existing system, they still hold the belief that change is possible through their participation. The "What If" spirit reflects a desire to seek alternative solutions and make a positive contribution to society.
Challenges of Information and Social Media:
One of the challenges in shaping the youth's attitude towards elections is the fluctuation of information in the digital era and on social media. Inaccurate or polarized information can reinforce apathy or lead the youth towards extreme viewpoints. Therefore, it is crucial to provide critical political education and facilitate the youth's access to objective information.
Political Education and Active Participation:
To keep the flame of the "What If" spirit alive, adequate political education is necessary at both formal and informal education levels. Programs that encourage active participation of youth in social and political activities can shape a more politically aware generation, conscious of their rights and responsibilities in the democratic process.
Conclusion:
Youth and elections are two interconnected elements in safeguarding the sustainability of democracy. Despite the challenges of apathy, the "What If" spirit signifies that there is hope to rekindle youth engagement in the political process. With proper political education, accurate information dissemination, and positive encouragement, the youth can become a force propelling positive change in both society and the nation.
Elections are one measure of the success of a democratic system in a country. During elections, they are often characterized by various problems, such as money politics, black campaigns and identity politics. Therefore, it is important for young people to be actively involved in elections and understand the importance of elections in determining the direction of a country.
n 2023, we need to increase youth's initial awareness to start being active in the political process, such as exercising their right to vote, becoming election observers, and being able to provide motivation for the younger generation. We must remind election contestants to run campaigns that are increasingly high quality and healthy for democracy, campaigns that are not brawls, not campaigns that damage the fabric of the nation, said President Ir. Joko Widodo in an audio visual recording at the 63rd Regular Education Program Seminar at Lemhannas RI, (9/8/2022). In organizing elections, they are often characterized by various problems, such as money politics (bribery to get votes), black campaigns (putting down opponents in unfair ways, such as accusing or slandering), and identity politics (taking advantage of differences in identity, such as religion, ethnicity, etc.) , or race). Therefore, it is important for young people to be actively involved in elections and understand the importance of elections in determining the direction of a country. Why? Because, youth are the next generation of the nation which is the development of human resources both now and in the future.
Today's youth have entered industry 4.0 where everything takes place online and in real time. Youth also tend to use social media and other dare platforms to advocate for their opinions. Thus, the role of youth in elections has an influence in building the future. +
Young people play a crucial role in determining the direction and quality of an election. As agents of change, youth have a great responsibility in providing their voices to create a just and effective government. Active youth participation is not only a right, but also an obligation to determine the future of the country. The importance of the role of youth in elections lies in the fresh perspectives and innovative ideas they bring. Youth bring energy, passion, and insight that can permeate public policy with the benefit of future generations. Involving youth in the electoral process also shapes young citizens' involvement in democratic life, creating a strong foundation for their understanding of the importance of civic participation.
The importance of the role of youth is also reflected in their large proportion of the population. In many countries, young people are often the largest demographic group, so their votes have a significant impact on election outcomes. Involving youth not only increases the legitimacy of the electoral process, but also creates a more accurate representation of society's diversity.
Then, what do I mean by the theme 5 hours or 5 years? This means that young people always ask questions about many things. For example, when we are shopping for 5 hours, we always ask whether mosquito repellent can last 5 hours? Is there too much smoke or does it smell bad?. When girls choose clothes, they always spend 5 hours or more just to choose clothes. We often question everything. Except for 1 thing. When we vote for the government. But when we vote in the election, we don't ask anything Again, we didn't ask at all.
And that's why through this essay, I want to convey to myself and all young people. My request is that we question our choices. Don't vote because of fear or because our votes are bought, or on the basis of caste, religion or community. Ask people questions. -people who ask for your vote. Ask what their program is for us in the next 5 years. What about my education, Will they help me get a job? If I get sick, what will happen to my family? And how will they advance our country in 5 years? Ask, before you vote.
The finger you use to vote, show it to them and ask. If we do that, our health system will improve, to help poor farmers we don't need Spiderman or other superheroes. Because our voice will be very meaningful. We all have power at our fingertips. Do you know who will gain freedom if you fulfill my demands in this essay? I, you, us, and all of you. Free from poverty. Free from injustice and corruption. Trust your fingers. Make the most of them.
Youth and Politics
Politics is an unavoidable topic in everyday conversations, involving various groups, from young people to the elderly. However, there is a trend where more older people are involved in politics than young people. Several factors may influence young people's lack of interest in politics. These factors include, among others, a lack of adequate political education, a sense of dissatisfaction with a political system that they may feel does not reflect their needs, and a feeling that their participation will not have a significant impact. Apart from that, lack of trust in political leaders and political institutions can also be an obstacle. Efforts are needed to increase political awareness and foster young people's interest in the political process so that they can become an active part in shaping the country's future.
This is usually due to the fact that the younger generation views politics as something that is unclear and full of excessive debates that only aim to gain sympathizers. In addition, due to the many cases of slanted politics such as corruption and silencing of the press, the image of politics is increasingly declining.
Young people are indifferent to politics because they lack awareness of PKN itself. They are indifferent to existing democracy, because of the government's poor performance which makes young people distrustful. Young people also tend to be divided based on their identity, because they only follow the current of a certain group, whether they are trendy or those who have the same identity (tend to be in their area of origin).
Young people may tend to be indifferent to politics because of differences in views and backgrounds regarding politics itself. Some of those involved in politics may utilize the privileges they received from their parents as a background or stepping stone for their career.
There are several factors that influence young people's indifference to political issues. First, a lack of Citizenship Education (PKN) education could be one of the causes. Second, the existence of identity and cultural politics also contributes to shaping young people's attitudes towards politics. Third, environmental background influences, such as family and peers, also play an important role in shaping their political views. Apart from that, globalization and the way the media discusses politics also play a role in making young people apathetic towards democracy.
Overall, the lack of Citizenship Education (PKN), the existence of identity and cultural politics, and the influence of environmental background are among the factors that influence young people's indifference to political issues. Apart from that, the influence of globalization and how the media reviews politics also contributes to young people's apathy towards democracy. To increase the participation of the younger generation in the political realm, efforts need to be made to improve civic education, nurture political diversity, and create an environment that encourages understanding and active involvement in democracy.

For You Politics (FYP)
The young generation or Gen Z that we often hear about is the source of hope for the aspirations of sustainable national development, because the current generation will not always be able to survive. We certainly need the next generation who can bring change to this nation. Especially in terms of politics, we as the younger generation must be able to think critically about the issues that are occurring, especially in the case of the presidential and vice presidential elections in 2024, the role of youth is really needed in this matter, because the people need us to help make their voices heard. his aspirations.
In Law No. 40 of 2008 Article 17 paragraph 3, it is stated that the active role of youth as a change is realized by developing, one of which is political education and democracy. So it is the obligation of the younger generation to participate fairly in national development in an effort to carry out political education with the aim of creating a better political system.
Youth have an important role in the world of politics, as agents of change and voices of the younger generation. Active youth participation can bring fresh ideas and new energy to public policy, but good education is also needed for this participation to be constructive. Active youth participation is important to create policies that better reflect the needs and aspirations of the younger generation and society in general. However, challenges such as these include lack of representation, opportunity, and distrust of the political system can be obstacles.
Youth and politics are interrelated in shaping the future of a country. Youth involvement can enrich the democratic process, but it is important for them to have a good understanding of political and policy issues to contribute positively. +
Youth are a valuable asset in a country, but youth apathy towards politics is often an issue of concern. In the current era, youth's reluctance to get involved in politics is increasingly felt. Even so, youth have an important role in shaping the country's future.
One of the main reasons for youth apathy towards politics is a feeling of dissatisfaction with a political system that seems corrupt and inefficient. They feel that politics is colored by the intrigues and personal interests of politicians, which keeps them away from the political arena. However, young people must realize that they also have the ability to change this system.
Technological advances and easy access to information have given youth the power to voice their opinions. Social media, for example, is an effective tool for sharing their political views. They can discuss important issues, criticize policies they consider inappropriate, and even get involved in political campaigns.
To overcome youth apathy, there needs to be a more educational and inclusive approach to politics. Schools and educational institutions need to integrate political education into their curriculum. Youth should also be encouraged to join youth associations and organizations that focus on political discussions.
It is important for young people to realize that their voices and actions have a big impact on political change. Through active participation in the political process, they can help build a system that is more transparent and has a positive impact on the country. Youth apathy towards politics can no longer be allowed to grow, because the future of our country depends greatly on their involvement. +
Generation Z is one of the voter groups for the 2024 election, namely generation Z or i-generation. Generation Z or often referred to as gen Z is an election asset with a large population and the deciding vote with the highest vote composition in the 2024 election.
If it is related to the implementation of the 2024 elections, of course the role of generation Z cannot be underestimated. It could even be said that generation Z will have a big influence on the votes won by contestants in the 2024 election. One reason is because the number of generation Z is very large, up to 40 percent of the population of Indonesia.
In terms of political participation, generation Z is very substantial because as a percentage of the number of voters, the millennial generation will contribute a lot of votes in the 2024 elections. Generation Z has its own influence in elections. Apart from being quite large in number, Generation Z also lives in the information era where everything uses the internet or online media.
Gen Z itself is a separate group from the millennial generation or generation Y, where generation Z was born in the period 1996 – 2009. This group is a very young generation and is up to date with information spread in mass media and the internet.
Apart from that, this generation has the character of liking digital technology, being flexible, smarter and tolerant of differences. But on the other hand, they also have bad habits, such as preferring instant culture and being less sensitive to private essences. The younger generation is often considered to be the group of people who are most indifferent or indifferent to political issues. In fact, they often experience a disconnect with their community, who are not interested in the political process and political issues, who have a low level of trust in politicians and are cynical about various political institutions and government. These characteristics influence the values, views and goals of life, including attitudes and perspectives. which affects their role in the 2024 elections.
Elections are the heart of democracy to realize people's sovereignty. Therefore, generation Z has an important role in implementing this sovereignty by participating politically through general elections held by the government.
One form of participation is choosing a leader figure who is able to bring about change, is popular and free from corruption. And what is no less important for generation Z is to see the track record and achievements of each candidate.
So that the elections that are held really bring change and have an impact on improving people's welfare significantly. Gen Z with collective consciousness has a huge responsibility in making the right political choices without being influenced by propaganda and political rhetoric for personal interests.
Access to broad political information is a means to digest good choices to maintain a healthy democratic spirit. Understand every opinion from social media networks and open a harmonious digital discussion space. Because whether they like it or not, whether they like it or not, generation Z will become part of this nation's political democracy one after another.
Gen Z is the generation born in 1997-2012. This generation is known as iGen or Internet Generation. This generation was born in an established digital era. They grew up with smartphones, social media and the internet dominating their lives, with wide access to information and technology. Generation Z is also known as a critical, independent and socially minded generation. So we are no longer surprised with various things appearing on social media such as political emoji:memes.
And in the 2024 election, generation Z will be the largest voter, with a percentage of around 56.45% of the total voters. This makes generation Z a generation that has great potential to determine Indonesia's future. If generation Z speaks in the 2024 election, then they can bring significant change to Indonesia. Generation Z can encourage future leaders to campaign on issues that are important to them, such as education, the environment and social issues. Generation Z can also push for a more transparent and fair democratic process. +
A small, colorful town celebrates elections in a unique way. There, the young man decided to take a rather silly approach to attract the attention of young people who tend to be ignorant of politics.
With a cheerful spirit, they planned campaigns with slogans like “Don't be confused, choose what's fun!” and "Politics is not serious, but your rights are!" Comedy-themed posters with candidates in clown hats were scattered throughout the city. In fact, they held a "Political Stand Up Debatt" event where the candidates had fun competing on stage.
Even though they look silly, these young people have a serious message behind their cuteness. They want to invite friends their age to see the lighter side of politics and feel comfortable making decisions together.
The results are amazing. The younger generation who previously did not want to participate in elections is now enthusiastic about exercising their right to vote. Because of this unusual campaign, they chose candidates with big smiles.
Elections are a public celebration full of laughter. Young people show that politics is not a serious issue that deserves everyone's attention. With a little silliness, the stigma of boring politics can be broken and bring a positive spirit to the election. Successful or not, what is clear is that this election will be an unforgettable memory and prove that politics can be an exciting and entertaining stage! +
If young people took over the role of political leaders today, how would they deal with serious problems such as climate change or the global economy? Tell us with a comic touch:
[An enthusiastic young man named Andi sits in the living room reading serious news about climate change and the global economy.]
Andi (thoughts): "Time for real action to change our future!"
[Andi talks with his friends, Maya and Dito, at their hangout place.]
Andi: "We have to do something! Let's take over the role of political leaders and face this problem together!"
Maya: "But how?"
[Andi, Maya, and Dito start planning their steps. They read books, listen to experts, and discuss.]
Andi: "First, we need a strong understanding of climate change and the global economy."
Maya: "That's right, and we also have to involve experts in this field."
[Andi, Maya, and Dito started an awareness campaign at their school, holding meetings to listen to community ideas, and asking for support from experts.]
Dito: "We can build a big movement from the bottom!"
[The young men were elected as leaders at the local level. They form a diverse team with expertise in various fields.]
Andi: "Now we need a concrete action plan to address climate change and the global economy."
[Their team is working hard, collaborating with the government, companies and the general public. They create innovative and sustainable solutions.]
Maya: "With collaboration, we can solve this big problem!"
[These young people succeeded in making real changes. Local economies grow, renewable energy sources are introduced, and environmental awareness increases.]
Dito: "When the young generation unites, we can change the world!"
[The young men see the results of their hard work and smile with satisfaction.]
Andi: "Change starts with us. We prove that youth have the power to overcome the global crisis!"
[Text below the comic]: "Come together, young generation, face global challenges and build a sustainable future!" +
Youth have an important role in politics and state administration. However, in Indonesia, many people still consider young people as a group of people who are apathetic, apolitical, or simply a group of voters. In fact, even in the formal political space, data shows that of the total 575 members of the People's Representative Council (DPR) for the 2014-2019 period, only around 4% (or 24 people) are less than 30 years old. Without meaningful participation from young people, democracy will only become an arena for political elections. For democracy to be inclusive, young people must have an active and empowered role as stakeholders and problem solvers in their communities.
Many people in Indonesia have the perception that young age indicates that a person's experience or ability to enter the world of politics is immature. In fact, various studies show that young people have the capacity to lead and build movements. Many young people have proven they are capable of becoming educators, volunteers, and providing input on programs related to various issues such as disaster risk reduction, protecting children and women.
To realize meaningful youth participation, political parties and stakeholders need to pay attention to the diversity of young people and recognize young people as leaders and politicians. Youth must be more than just age; they must be active, innovative and critical. Even though political participation is important, youth must always ensure that the government is responsible in serving the people. +
