Para Hadirin Sekalian,
Saya mengucapkan terima kasih atas kesempatan untuk berbagi pemikiran saya dengan anda hari ini tentang topik yang telah banyak didiskusikan namun jarang ditindaklanjuti: krisis moral dalam masyarakat modern.
Abad ke-21 dipenuhi dengan kemajuan teknologi yang luar biasa yang membuat hidup kita lebih efisien dan nyaman. Namun, berapa harga yang harus dibayar untuk kemajuan ini? Kita hidup di dunia di mana keegoisan dan keserakahan merajalela, dan orang-orang sering mendahulukan kepentingan mereka sendiri di atas kebaikan bersama.
Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor, termasuk tergerusnya nilai-nilai moral dan kurangnya pemahaman tentang akibat dari tindakan kita. Kita harus ingat bahwa kita semua terhubung dan tindakan kita berdampak satu sama lain.
Jadi, bagaimana kita bisa membalikkan tren ini? Kita harus mulai dengan mengajari remaja di usia muda pentingnya berbelas kasih, saling menghormati, dan memperhatikan orang lain. Selain itu, kita juga harus mendorong individu untuk mengambil tanggung jawab atas keputusan mereka dan berpikir sebelum bertindak.
Terakhir, kita harus menciptakan budaya di mana orang tidak dinilai dari harta benda mereka melainkan dari karakter mereka. Jika kita semua dapat melakukan perubahan kecil ini, saya yakin krisis moral dalam masyarakat modern dapat di kembalikan.
Terima kasih atas waktunya.
2. Pidato Bahasa Inggris tentang Akhlak II
Good morning ladies and gentlemen and also my dearest friends. Thank you for the time and opportunity that have been given to me this morning to talk about honesty. First of all I would like to give be together here in the good health.
Ladies and gentlemen and also my dearest friends, honesty is a very important thing in life. Honesty is a very good attitude that we must apply in everyday life. Honesty can be interpreted as sincerity, not lie, straight heart, trustworthy words and not cheating. Honesty is part of the positive nature of human beings. Honesty is part of the self-esteem that must be maintained because of high value. Honesty is an inherent trait in a person and is an important thing to do in everyday life.
If we are dishonest, then we must strive to build the character education so that we do not continue to lie. Schools should be an example to apply honesty. But it seems there are still many students who are not honest in school for example by cheating. The “cheat” culture is increasingly and become the daily habit of the students in Indonesia. Yet cheating is a bad habit because they have acted dishonestly. At the time of the test there are some students who glanced at his friend’s answer, some even asked his friend when the teacher was not careless. The factor that causes the culture of cheating is still ongoing until now, maybe because they have not study before or because they have not understood the material in the test. But it is only done by some children who are not aware of the importance of honesty. Imagine what would happen to our country Indonesia if the successors are the master cheaters of corrupt candidates? Surely our country is getting worse and its fate is getting bleaker. We should tell ourselves that honesty is better than everything.
Besides cheating, there are many things that can be said as dishonesty such as lying. Lying is to say something that there is no fact or basic reality. Lying can happen because of the influence of compulsion. Lying that is done once or twice will lead to continuous lies, for example we lie once about a matter, we can lie again to cover up the lies we did before. In addition to lying we as learners may often cheat, such as stealing. Stealing is taking someone else’s property secretly and not acknowledging it. There are many more examples of dishonesty around us.
Therefore, we must keep the honest attitude within ourselves. We must also be proactive if we see any dishonest events around us. Being honest will lead us to better things. When in everyday life behave dishonestly, then we will lose the trust of the people closest to us. That is a bad thing, because if we do not have friends anymore, our lives will be really hard. Besides honesty will also help us become a better person. Once again, telling the truth is the ultimate key to a happy life.
Ladies and gentlemen and also my dearest friends, this is the end of my speech about honesty. I hope we all can be honest wherever we are. Finally I do apologize if there is any mistakes. Thank you so much for the attention.
