YOGYAKARTA - In the life of society, nation and state, Pancasila is present as the main guide that is timeless. One of the pillars that is an important pillar in forming a civilized society is the 2nd precept, namely "Just and Civilized Humanity".

This second precept is not just a sentence, but a call to always treat others with dignity, respect human rights, and uphold justice.

This article will explore further how the principles of just and civilized humanity are manifested in our daily behavior, providing concrete examples that we can apply to build a more dignified Indonesia.

As individuals created by God Almighty, it is fitting for humans to cultivate mutual respect and respect for each other, regardless of all forms of difference.

An attitude of mutual respect is a direct reflection of the first point of Pancasila's second principle, namely "Recognizing and treating humans according to their dignity and dignity as creatures of God Almighty."

Reporting from the website of the Pancasila Ideology Development Agency, we can see the real implementation of the principle of the 2nd principle of Pancasila in various environments, including in the school environment.

For example, bullying or bullying of different students must be stopped, replaced by mutual respect between teachers and peers, and helping each other when someone faces difficulties.

Then in the home environment, the practice of the second precept is no less important. Respecting parents, loving relatives, and doing good to neighbors is a tangible manifestation of humanity. When we are ready to help those who are in trouble, we indirectly practice the sixth item: "Directs to carry out humanitarian activities."

In this multi-connected digital era, social media has become an integral part of our lives. Interactions are no longer limited to face-to-face, but penetrate into an unlimited cyberspace.

In this context, the second precept of Pancasila, "Just and Civilized Humanity", becomes increasingly relevant and important to implement. So what is the concrete form of practice in the midst of social media frenzy?

On social media, we are often faced with various opinions and views. The implementation of the second precept means maintaining our mouth or fingers so as not to make hate speech, hoaxes, or slander.

Therefore, we need to respect every difference of opinion by not directly judging or demeaning others, even though we do not agree with their views.

The constructive and ethical comments will create a healthy discussion space, instead of a hostile environment.

The second precept also invites us to "Gemar conduct humanitarian activities". On social media, this can be realized by sharing positive and useful information, such as social campaigns, donation invitations, or inspiring educational content.

As wise citizens, we can also use social media platforms to spread the spirit of unity and concern for others, especially for those in need.

Finally, every upload on social media is a reflection of us. The second premise means taking full responsibility for any content we upload, ensuring that the content does not harm others, does not contain elements of provocation, and does not violate ethics. This attitude includes respecting the privacy of others and not spreading personal information without permission.
