Globalization always lead to various kinds of influences, both negative nor positive, on the national character. In Indonesia, globalization has caused a significant degradation of national character which ended by the poor national character of the Indonesia's young generation. In order to minimalize this impact, the Indonesian government has launched a program, named State Defense Awareness Programme (Program Pembinaan Kesadaran Bela Negara), in order to perform the mental revolution program and building the national character of Indonesia's young generation, which has influenced by the negative effect of globalization. But until now, the Indonesian citizens are still not convinced that State Defense Awareness Programme can be an appropriate means in building the national character of Indonesian citizens. This condition was supported by the emergence of negative stigma related to State Defense Awareness Programme, which ultimately reduces the level of people participation in the program.
