REAKTUALISASI SEMANGAT GOTONG ROYONG DALAM PENANGANAN BENCANA ALAM DI KALANGAN GENERASI MILENIAL

Abstract

Due to the vanishing mutually supportive culture, urban communities are beginning to become more mindful of natural calamities. The tradition of assisting one another in achieving shared objectives is known as mutual cooperation. Under the effect of globalization, the spirit of mutual cooperation is gradually eroding over time. This article explores the reasons for the loss of a sense of community and the rise of a generation known as the strawberry generation, which is more individualistic and less concerned with the environment. Technology, egotistical behavior, and parenting styles are further aspects contributing to the strawberry generation's rise. The principles of solidarity and togetherness are negatively impacted by the fall in the spirit of mutual collaboration. In order to accomplish shared goals, it is crucial to promote a cooperative attitude within the community in the face of natural calamities.

Kesadaran masyarakat perkotaan terhadap bencana alam mulai menurun. Hal ini bisa terjadi karena pengaruh budaya gotong royong yang mulai menghilang. Budaya gotong royong sendiri merupakan tradisi bekerja sama saling tolong menolong untuk mencapai tujuan Bersama. Seiring waktu berjalan semakin meluntur budaya gotong royong ini karena pengaruh globalisasi. Pada artikel ini penulis mengaitkan penyebab menurunya kesadaran masyarakat dalam bergotong royong dengan munculnya generasi strawberry yang cenderung individualis dan kurang peduli terhadap lingkungan sekitar. Demi menumbuhkan sikap gotong royong masyarakat perkotaan terhadap bencana alam disimpulkan bahwa perlu adanya kesadaran semua pihak atau anggota masyarakat supaya memiliki sikap rela berkorban demi kepentingan bersama.
