Main Topic : The
Conflict of Generation: The Character and Significance of Student Revivalism
Introduction
1. Generations
By meaning of generations in term of the
topic given, it can be divided into two categories which are young and old
generations. These generations might have different ideology and thinking because
of the era they were raised in.
2. Character and
Significant
In our opinion, as overseas’ students,
we might have different thinking and ideology compared to the local students on
how to teach or advice the government. Some of the ways to do that are through writing
letter/memorandum and sends them to the government, and making events to
deliver the messages to the government. So, what is the character that is necessary
to give significance and contribution to the beloved nation
3. Student
In a big overview, everyone is a student
because everyone is still learning regardless their ages. Learning process is did
not stop only in class, but it also includes improving ourselves in our daily
life. In the meantime, in a smaller scope, by the mean of student is the youth
society who is in the range of the age 40 years and below. On the other hand,
the generations with age after 40 years is the generations which are creating
the nowadays generations.
4. Revivalism
From what we can see, our generations
nowadays did not give much attention and some did not care about the national
development. By comparing the youth generations and old generations, we see
that the old generations are more patriotic and give more attention towards the
nation. Flash back into decades ago, the students were respected and trusted by
the society. Their voices were heard and considered to take into actions. Decades
ago there were limited numbers of universities; so, to get into these
universities was hard and the students had been chosen critically. Not to
mention on how to get the chance to study abroad. That is the reason why they
are highly respected by the society since they are among the best.
Nowadays, the number of students in
certain universities may be large but these students might not have the
expected quality of a student. In this case, it is reasonable to have more
students selected into the universities in sense of giving a bright future to
them but if it is easy to get selected, how can we believed in them? The ideas
towards building up the nation given by the old generation’s students also are
given priority by the politicians. However, by comparing to the nowadays
students, it might be an unwise action to get involve into politics because
they are constraint by the AUKU. Consequently, AUKU also make nowadays’ student
becoming less patriotic and not much care about the development of nations. The
attitude of local students is just struggling to get good grades only rather
than to get the knowledge itself.

Characteristics of Mahasiswa and Entrepreneur.
The problem with the Mahasiswa and
Entrepreneur is the society works only to earn wages solely. It might be good
in the sense of getting experiences. However, to build up the economies, we
need to be more than wage earner by giving ideas and improvise the company. To
boost up the economy, the private sectors should take into actions and not the
government. As an example, when unemployment occurs, the government will made
up a new sector to reduce the unemployment. The workers for this sector will be
paid using the tax revenue. Thus, this will reduce the nation’s tax revenue and
slow down the nation’s development. Instead of government, the private sectors
should reduce the unemployment by creating jobs. The nation’s tax revenue will
be increased by collecting the income tax from these private sectors workers.
Characteristics of World Leader.
Leaderships can be divided into 3
categories which are autocratic, democratic and laissez-faire. Autocratic is
like a dictatorship which is he/she makes orders and the others follow the
orders without questioning it. Democratic is making decisions by the group and
laissez-faire is they are given free hand in deciding their own policies and
methods.
Conclusion
We can conclude that we have to change
ourselves to be someone who has the right characteristics as a Malaysian,
Mahasiswa, Entrepreneur and World Leader.
