It is realized or not realized lately has been away from national and state life of Indonesian society. Togetherness is wonderful that began eroded by individualist cultures. Worldview that exalts personal freedom that encourages people to put the interests and personal freedom without thinking about the rights of others. This attitude was often plunged the people into the clash with others in social life. Flatterer freedom seemed to live outside the social entity and as if they do not coexist with each other. The existence of a culture of togetherness now more apparent values ​​and the artificial, Away from the point of real and just a symbol of the surface.

It said as a collective solidarity because it has its own cultural symbols such as the language used in a particular territory, which actually reflect a unity. Therefore, the concept of brotherhood and highlight the nation or togetherness. Which of these together would form a political community, nation and state are constantly undergoing a process of continuous reconstruction of the history of its development.
