This can be seen from the country's resources, both its natural resources and its abundant human resources. Unfortunately, however, the abundance of natural resources and human resources in Indonesia has not been fully utilized. The inadequacy of our natural resource management, for example, can be seen from how Freeport company was managed. The proceeds of the Freeport gold mine, which should had been enjoyed by the Indonesian population, had been crushed and exploited on a large scale by a mining company from the United States. Meanwhile, we, as land owners, have only been given 1% of such a huge yield over the years.[1] The evidence that our human resource has not been maximized can be seen from the position of Indonesia's human resources achievements in the global werea. Besides that, we can also saw how our children and even adults behave. In terms of achievements in various aspects, for example, Indonesia always occupied a middle to lower position in the ICIS 2020, October 27-28, Ponorogo, Indonesia Copyright © 2021 EAI DOI 10.4108/eai.27-10-2020.2304168
