HumasUPNVJ - Defending the Country is not limited to actions or deeds that simply show a sense of concern for the country, but the most important thing is the meaning of Defending the Country itself. Talking about State Defense, there are many challenges to the existence of the state today. This was explained by Dr. Antr Venus, Chancellor of UPN Veterans Jakarta in his presentation when giving debriefing to 207 DIKWAL participants from three UPN Veterans. (22/12)

"There are several challenges to the existence of our country today, including classic problems such as corruption, drugs (etc.), ideological undermining, strengthening intolerant groups, the division of the nation due to social media, social, economic and environmental sustainability, values of progress/modernity (Education) , cyber war/ attack/ security , demographic bonus challenges, and territorial integrity," explained Venus

“Be a State Defense cadre who has a strong character in defending the country. We must know and understand exactly what defending the country is, defending the country can be equated with patriotism which in English is defined as loyalty to love, support and defend the country with all our body and soul; patriotism that means devoted love, support, and defense of one's country, national loyalty . In short, defending the country is an act of citizen patriotism in maintaining and developing the existence and sustainability of the country with two military and non-military perspectives. State defense combines these two perspectives with an emphasis on a non-military approach as the basis for implementing state defense education," he added

The thing that must be considered from the whole meaning of defending the country is how the book of Isa applies the values of defending the country in everyday life, starting with small things on our beloved campus.
