For Indonesia as a country, the essential obstacles nowadays is the rapid development of social together with the development of sciences and technology that have taken important roles in human daily basis activities. Generation Z is the easiest generation who can have an occupation or those students who are still studying at the colleges. Generation Z nowadays are representative of social changes that depend on the development of technology’s devices. Nowadays, Generation Z has taken control on the changing and social development in a broader scope of people.

The characters or spirit of Pancasila that was upheld by the people of Indonesia for long period of time have been taken aside due to the development of technology. Social development has shown that Generation Z do not pay attention to the norms that exist in the society or in other words, most of Generation Z misbehave. The value of Pancasila is not shown from the characters of Generation Z.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION The big challenge of Indonesia as a country recently is the rapid progress of social development in global scope that cannot be facing only by partition or physical security between countries or nations. The development of society all over the world is marked by the growth and development of young generations from time to time with different characters and needs (Mahfud, 2018). Furthermore, here are the understanding about generation and its group. According to Kupperschmidt (2000) in (Putra, 2016) generation is a group of people that have the similarity of date of birth, age, locations, and historical experiences or incidentals in the individuals that have significant impacts in their phase of growth. To summarize, it can be said that generation is a group of individual that have experienced the same incidents at the same periods of time. The basic understanding on the grouping of generation is there is a premise that generation is a group of individual that was influenced by the historical incidents cultural phenomenon that happened and experienced in their stages of life, where those incidents and phenomenon has caused a collective remembrance that have impacts on their life. So, the incidents in Implementation of Pancasila Value for Generation Z in Technology Development Jurnal Hukum PRASADA E-ISSN 2548-4524 CC-BY-SA 4.0 License Page 67 history, social and cultural effects together with other factors have influenced the formation of individual, norms and characters (Caspi, Roberts, & Shiner, 2005). In the literature about the differences of generations, it is used a general criterionand can be accepted in all regions, in this case the criteria that used are year of birth and the incidents that happened globally (Twenge, 2006).

For Generation Z, information and technology are parts of their life because they were born where the access to internet has become their basic needs, so it has the impacts on their way of thinking. In this year, the average in educational sectors shows that generations that are still studying at the college level is Generation Z.
