| Summary: | Globalization impacts the order of society, nationhood, and statehood in Indonesia. One change brought about is the emergence of public behavior that does not reflect the values of nationalism. This calls for the revitalization of character education as part of an effort to maintain
the values of nationalism in the community. This article aims to provide an overview of the importance and urgency to revitalize character education for nationalism through a qualitative approach.
