Islam as a religious studies

CHAPTER I 
INTRODUCTION

Islam as a religious courses. Not infrequently we see the actions and attitude of a person who still confuse between truth and progress. What he saw as progress, and immediately be judged properly. In fact, the truth is different from the ideal of progress. Truth is non-comulative (not increased), while progress is cumulative (increases). That is, the truth will remain that way the whole time, while the standard was developed to follow the progress of time. Religion, philosophy, and art including the category of non-cumulative.Something that is considered true since time immemorial, until now still be accepted as is also true. Of course the author meant the truth after truth through a process or mechanism. If there is a change, then what was previously thought to be true, will be shifted to be less true, or turn out to be wrong. For those who accept the truth of the philosophy of Aristotle, Ibn Ruysd, menaganggap remain true forever, as long as there is no other thought that "affect" his mindside later.Pragmatism is a theory of truth which first developed in America, which was developed by William James (1842-1910), a distinguished professor at Harvard. This theory has evolved since 1970, with the core teachings, that the belief it would be true if any element of order. The size of the truth is, apakahh belief can lead people on purpose. Pragmatism rejects the view of the truth of the rationalist and idealist, because their views are not useful in practical life. William did not reject diversity as an experience, not as truth.Of course Islam is not like that judge a truth. Islamic teachings affirm the truth only comes from God (Qur'an 18:29), or not useful in practical life, if it is from God, faith requires a Muslim that it is the truth. More emphasized, not to deceive the progress of truth. Similarly, Islam explains about his time in determining the truth. This is important as the authors put forward a better understanding of the basic foundation of religion (Islam). And how a Muslim should behave, say and berfikiran appropriate guidance and teachings of his religion.
II. More Understanding of IslamAs Muslims, ideally we are required to be Muslims who kaffah. (Qur'an 02:208), and authentic (Qur'an 19:36). Required to be zealous about Islam or thorough, in terms of thinking, saying and doing. While Muslims claim to be authentic, that is not contaminated with other teachings. Two demands are limited concerning faith, worship, Shari'a, and morality. The question then is, whether it makes two demands of Muslims rigid, inflexible? This is the main point of this paper the author explores.To be objective, of course, we are not going to answer the above questions in apologetics. However, theoretically we examined through the lens of the historical period of the early teachings of Islam by the Prophet who acted as the bearer of the message and the early generations in his future. Next, we look at the comparison with the teachings of the latter implicated as a "modern doctrine" in the global scope. It is also likely to in fact be thought of Muslims understand their religion, to selanjtnya developed as an ideal standard of religious education.Idealitanya, Islam is a religion that is very broad, deep, and integrated. Coverage is not just struggling around the teachings of fiqh (law). In the main teaching source (Al-Qur'an and as-Sunnah), Islam also spoke on all aspects of human life, both in the capacity as indifidu, as well as community groups. Understanding of teaching and hablun hablun minallah minannas, none other than the one-unit complex of Islamic teachings.Because it is guidance and teaching, Islam is also essentially "something" that people sought. He comes from Essence who created man, life and everything permasalahnnya, which of course will better understand human existence, than the man himself. Islam is a universal belief that designed a simple, easy and logical to be understood, as well as applicable. Furthermore, the author deliberately put forward the following real examples of Islamic teachings that directly exemplified by the Prophet King. The author will not include the many Qur'anic texts or traditions that actually seemed apologetic.
III. Equation Position In IslamIn many books wal khulafaurrasyidin Nabawiyyah sirah, many of us have encountered the teachings about human equality. One example, what happened in 636 AD, when Umar bin Khattab traveled to the city Qudsi to accept delivery of power from the Roman emperor to rule Daulah Islamiyah. According to history, the city Qudsi previously under the authority of the Roman-Christian, after the transition rule of the Children of Israel, for not less seven centuries.During the trip, the Caliph only bring seokor camel riding by turns: a time of Caliph Umar who rode a camel, while the guards walking underneath. At other times the opposite: the bodyguard of the Caliph caliph riding a camel and on foot. And so on, until arriving at their destination.Upon entering the city Qudsi was predominantly Christian, the Caliph Umar gets their turn walking, while riding a camel is a bodyguard. Seeing the incident, residents Qudsi previously known figure of Umar bin Khattab as caliph was both surprised and amazed. They are shocked, how could a walk caliph riding a camel while his bodyguard instead.Yes, a rare sight, and strange to them, even perhaps for anyone who is not familiar with the teachings of Islam. Religious rights are equated between leader and followers, between the rich and the poor, men and women, and certainly between the government and its people. Human values, as implied in the Quran, only depending on the quality ketaqwaannya only. No other.Regardless of the validity of the story above, the content of the story is also ditauladani Prophet Muhammad as a carrier of the message of Islam. Prophet never distinguish his people according to the classification of the common assessment standards community became Quraish at that time; in which the Apostle was born and grow. He even opposed the ordinance tendency socialize Arab society at that time, namely the standardization of human judgments and views of materialist factors genitas.Since the beginning of the Apostle was always giving paragon abolition fanaticism values ​​of groups and parties. Therefore there is no difference between one another in bermuamalah, whether social, economic, political, legal as well. In the application of the law, the principle of equality and justice truly apply to him. In fact, even his daughter Fatimah, if caught stealing, the punishment is the same as the others: cutting off of hands, without consideration of the daughter of the Apostle.In the social aspect, very viscous equation models, and even tends to look "extreme" acted the Prophet. We will never hear the word 'disciple of the Prophet', let alone the helper of the Prophet. There was only the term 'Companions of the Prophet'. We certainly believe, that only the Apostles was the only man of his day who received direct instructions from God in the form of revelation. While the addition of the Prophet is, in today's terms, his followers or disciples.Prophets who taught them all what Allah revealed. So the prophet is a teacher, and other course students. But, with his humility, he never show himself to be called as a teacher. Everyone who knows and lives his day is nothing but a sahabtnya. There again, my friend Abu Huraira famous among ualama tradition as thousands of hadith narrators, not another, according to our tradition-Khaddam (helper) of the Prophet.That's one of the core teachings of Islam in terms of equality among humans. There's nothing to meresa higher or lower than others because of power, wealth or ancestry. Differences between people in the sight of Allah is only assessed from ketaqwaannya. Who can judge a person's quality of piety? There were none but Allah. No other faith is a private matter between the Lord God.With a foundation of understanding the above, is a person who does not know the teachings of Islam is a nobody who judge others less of it, or conversely, more noble. There's no reason that justifies-the teachings of Islam-degrading or glorifying someone else, beyond decency and ethics of civility manners of society as it should.Moreover, if a majority of city dwellers Qudsi non-Muslims feel weird while watching the arrival of the Caliph Umar ibn Khattab with guards by alternating riding a camel, so this time with a Muslim majority population, whether the people of Indonesia will also see any discrepancies or oddities when looking at the president of Indonesia is menyupir car who boarded by the bodyguards or aides? Could it be?!One more, if the Prophet who is believed to be great teachers for his companions, then do not consider them as disciples, but rather companions only; how we who work as teachers, religious teachers or lecturers should feel taller in front of our students?; We consider su'ul students pringainya adab when little or no respect for us as their teachers? This is the heart of a true education in Islam we understand it together.
IV. Religious Education to reviewHumans are creatures who can educate and be educated (homo educabille), while other creatures are not. In this dimension, human beings have the potential to become the object and the subject of self-development. Education as a vehicle for self-development should be based on the potential of human beings, because human potential is not likely to thrive in the absence of external stimuli, in the form of education. In reality, human beings are capable of thinking, in politics, has freedom of choice, self-conscious, has the norm, carpenters asked, he said a culture. A reality that is not owned by other than human beings.At this point, the authors see the necessity of pararelitas between zealous about Islam must be a figure with the potential of the man himself. Are not Muslims are human too?! Therefore, the demands of potential development as a human being, a necessity that can not be negotiable. In the golden age of historical Islam, integration becomes zealous about Islam and increase human potential is an example of conscious not only by Muslims, but also by scientists are recognized non-Muslims. Without the integration question, the ideals of the Islamic golden age repeat; be khairulummah (best people) is no more just a figment.
V. Mempertanyaan dichotomy SciencesThings should be straightened out first in an effort pararelitas, the effort to ward off what is developing in the middle of the Muslims in understanding the science pngetahuan; science dichotomy. The author concludes, religion is a unity that includes ethics, culture, trends, and attitude that comes from guidence-idealist, an ideal guide to apply in life today. Understanding of religion and religiosity are not narrowed to a mere ritual behavior, but it certainly covers all aspects of life. Covering an area of ​​any person's life, with obedience, then the area of ​​the same religion can diejahwantahkannya.No other religion spirituality into the early foundation of a religious building of a servant. Because only the foundation-without mengkerdilkan urgensitas ubudiyah-implementation practice rituals of worship can still be viewed as a servant in a religious observance intact. A building will seem clearer over the completeness of the style of the building. Ethics, trends and attitudes is a "complement" religious person. Whatever his religion.With the above understanding, the authors then questioned the separation of science developed in the community: there is a science of religion, science is also a general (non-religious). A growing understanding of religious knowledge is knowledge that is directly related to religious spirituality. While that is not directly berhuungan, say the general sciences. Physics, matemtika, biology, economics, chemistry, architecture, medicine and the like are examples of non-religious sciences. Really? Let us build an assumption with some examples of the following cases.As with the issue in general, understanding of diversity as it had become the object of debate between the pros and cons. Yet so, as far as the writer's observation, the source can be mapped disputes arising from different points of view the meaning of religion, as well as the immediate effects in everyday life.There are good writers put forward a question that could be an example that all science can be theologians. There is the question: "What relation between automotive science with religion?" At first glance, it seems the innocence of this question. But did not rule it bodes disapproval questioner at understanding the writer on religion, including the perception of equating all the sciences.In response, the author then presents a new experience that happened some time ago, so still very fresh in the memory. Once when the writer went to a campus where teaching. Suddenly, in the middle of the trip, car writers strike. According to schedule, a few moments the author should keep an eye on the Middle Semester Exam (UTS).Authors assume, the students might not want to know the reason for the delay writer into the exam room. However, fortunately there is a clever fellow automotive, could soon come and help fix the car broke down earlier. So, selamatlah author of presumption as inconsistent time lecturer.Is not religion (Islam) told his people into a figure who could be trusted, trustworthy, and so on. With the ability to automotive, concerns are assumed to be a figure that does not mandate can be ignored. Is not, "ma la yatimmu illa al-compulsory bihi fahuwa mandatory"? Automotive capabilities are intermediaries succeed as a highly religious obligations.If anyone asks: where lies the obligation as a religious figure dlam these examples? Personality trustful, trustworthy is one of several kawajiban a Muslim. That is, personality may tidk Muslim hypocrites. Simply put, are hypocrites is haraam; being trustworthy is mandatory.Still in the capacity as an intermediary, eksaks sciences is also important to be categorized as a science of religion. Imagine, how can we execute the command of God to think about how the creation of the heavens and the earth, if not mnggunakan sciences of astronomy and physics?; How a Muslim might also want to reflect on the process of creation of living things, to further strengthen his faith, not by biology kalauu? It is impossible not it!In this realm the author wanted to make sure that all of science into the category of religious knowledge, as long as the mediation of an intermediary dufungsikan getting to know his power. In contrast, the science that will weigh religious saklek bland if you can not take the owner to getting closer to Him.

STATE AND CITIZENSHIP

a Paper

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

1.1. Background Citizenship is part of the concept of citizenship (English: citizenship). In this sense, citizens of a city or county referred to as citizens of the city or county residents, because they are also a political unit. In regional autonomy, citizenship is important, because each political unit will provide the right (usually social) different for its citizens. Citizenship has similarities with the nationality (English: nationality). The difference is that the rights to be active in politics. It is possible to have a nationality without being a citizen (for example, is legally subject to a state and entitled to protection without having rights to participate in politics). It is also possible to have political rights without being a member nation of a country. Under the social contract theory, citizenship status has implications for the rights and obligations. In the philosophy of "active citizenship", a citizen is required to contribute to the improvement of community capacity through economic participation, public service, volunteer work, and other similar activities to improve the livelihoods of its people. From this premise appears Citizenship subjects (English: civics) are given in schools.
            In this paper will discuss all matters relating to nationality, and country. In referring to this paper so that readers can add information and knowledge.
1.2. Problem formulation 1. Is the nature of that State? 2. Is Nature's Citizenship? 3. What is the relationship between the State and citizenship?

CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION

2.1 Countries 2.1.1 Definition of State In literal terms the State is a translation of foreign words, the state (English), Staat (Dutch and German) and etat (French), the word state, staat, etat was taken from the Latin word status or statum, which means the state is upright and fixed or something that has properties and remain upright. In terminology, the State is defined by the organization's highest among a group of people with aspirations to unite, live in certain areas and have a sovereign government. This understanding contains a value constitutive of a State which necessitates the existence of an element within a State, namely the existence of society (the people), a region (area) and the existence of a sovereign government. According to Roger H. Soltao, the State is defined by means of (agency) or a public authority. According Haroid. J. Laski country marupakan an integrated society because it has coercive powers lawfully and more glorious than individuals or groups who are part of that society. Max Weber defines that the State is a society which has a monopoly on the legitimate use of physical force within a region based on the legal system held by a government that for such purpose shall be vested memaksan.
2.1.2 Objectives of State The purpose of a State may vary, among others: a. Extending the power b. Conducting legal order c. Achieve welfare law. According to Plato tutjuan State is to advance human decency, as an individual (individuals) and as social beings. Meanwhile, according to Roger H. Soltau State goal is to enable people to develop and organize its copyright power as freely as possible (the freest possible development and creative self-expression of its members). In the doctrine and the concept of a theocracy (which is represented by Thomas and Augustine, the State goal is to achieve a living and safe and peaceful life in obedience to and under the command of God. In Islam, as proposed by Ibn Arabi, the purpose of the State is that people can run their lives well, away from disputes and maintain the intervention of foreign parties. In the context of Indonesia State, the State goal is to promote the general welfare, the intellectual life of the nation and carrying out part of a world order based on freedom, lasting peace and social justice. 2.1.3 Elements of the State Globally a State requires three (3) basic elements, namely the people (community / citizen), regions and governments. 1. People's (community / citizen) These people are very important elements in a State, because the concrete is the people who have an interest that the State was able to run well. 2. Island region: 20,356,000 Basically the area within a State usually include ± 8 million land (land area), ± 18.5 million km2 (an area of ​​sea / water) and air (airspace) 3. Government Fittings State Government is leading the organization in charge of the State to achieve the objectives of State by reason. Governments are often the personification of a country.
2.1.4 Some Theories About The establishment of the State 1. Social contract theory (social contract) This theory assumes that the State established under the treaties. Some experts adherents of the social contract theory that explain the theory of the origins of the State, including: a. Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) According to the terms established by the State is entered into agreements with individuals who had been in a state of nature promised to give up any natural rights owned to a person or an entity. Engineering agreements are made public as follows Hobbes every individual to another individual said that "I give power and surrender the right to rule to this person or to people who are in this council on condition that I give him the right of all actions and give legitimacy in a certain way. b. John Locke (1632-1704) Contractual basis and the State argued Locke as a warning that the ruling power is never absolute but always limited, because the agreement entered into with a person or group of people, individuals do not hand over all their natural rights. c. Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) Diumapamakannya natural state as a state of nature, to live free and equal individuals, everything is produced solely by depressed individuals and individuals were satisfied. According to the "State" or "body korporatif" was formed to express "general willingness" (general will) and is aimed at besama happiness. In addition the State also consider the interests of the individual (particular interest). Sovereignty is in the hands of the people through general willingness.
2. Theory of Belief State established by God and State leaders appointed by the Lord the King and State leaders are only responsible to God and not to anyone. 3. Teoir strength The first state is the result of the strong dominance of communication to vulnerable groups, the State formed by conquest and occupation. With the conquest and occupation of a stronger ethnic group over the weaker ethnic groups, began the process of state formation. 4. Theory of Organic Countries considered or equated with living creatures, human or animal individuals that are components of the State is considered as the cells of living things. Corporal life of the State can be equated as human bones, the legislation as nerves, the king (emperor) as the head and the individual as the creature's flesh.


5. Historical Theory This theory states that the institution-social lambaga not made, but grow in the evolutionary line with human needs.
2.1.5 Forms of State State in the form of modern concepts and theories currently divided into two forms of the State, namely the unity of the State (unitarisme) and the State union (federation) 1. Unitary state Unitary state is a form of a free and sovereign State. With a government that governs the entire region. This unitary state divided into two kinds, namely: a. Unitary state with a centralized system of state affairs directly regulated by central government b. Unitary state with a decentralized system that is as the regional head of local government.
2. State of the union The original power in the State of the federation is a state duty, because he relates to his people, semetara State in charge of running the federation's foreign relations. National Defence. Financial and postal affairs. Besides the two forms of State. State forms into three groups: a. Monarchy Monarchy is a form of government only State-controlled and governed (the right to govern) by one person. b. Oligarchy These oligarchs are usually ordered from a group of people who come from the feudal. c. Democracy People have full powers to run the government.
2.2 Citizenship 2.2.1 Definition of Citizenship The definition of citizen. Citizens are the people who settled in the region and certain people in conjunction with the State. In the relationship between citizen and state, citizens have obligations towards the State and vice versa citizens also have rights that must be provided and protected by the State. While citizenship is part of the concept of citizenship (English: citizenship). In this sense, citizens of a city or county referred to as citizens of the city or county residents, because they are also a political unit. In regional autonomy, citizenship is important, because each political unit will provide the right (usually social) different for its citizens. Citizenship has similarities with the nationality (English: nationality). The difference is that the rights to be active in politics. It is possible to have a nationality without being a citizen (for example, is legally subject to a state and entitled to protection without having rights to participate in politics). It is also possible to have political rights without being a member nation of a country. Under the social contract theory, citizenship status has implications for the rights and obligations. In the philosophy of "active citizenship", a citizen is required to contribute to the improvement of community capacity through economic participation, public service, volunteer work, and other similar activities to improve the livelihoods of its people. From this premise appears Citizenship subjects (English: civics) are given in schools. In international relations in every area of ​​the State there are always citizens and foreigners who all called the population. Every citizen is a resident of a Contracting State, while not necessarily every resident citizen, as it may be a stranger. While a stranger just to have a relationship while he was residing in the territory of that State. 2.2.2 Background Citizenship Education Citizenship is a person's membership in certain political units (in particular: the state) which brings with it the right to participate in political activities. Someone with a membership that is called citizen. A citizen has the right to have a passport from a country that dianggotainya.
His background is the holding of citizenship is: 1. That the spirit of national struggle which is the spiritual mental power has spawned tremendous force in the physical struggle, while in the face of globalization we need to fill in the independence struggle in accordance with the field of physical nono masing2 profession. This struggle is based on the value2 struggle so that we still have the insight and awareness as a state, attitudes and behaviors that love the country and promoting unity and integrity of the nation in order to remain intact for the sake of defending the country and upholding Homeland. consisting of: 1. Law No. 2 of 1989 (the national education system) 2. Important journey of Indonesian history: • The era before and during colonization • The era of struggle and maintain independence • The era of independence charging
3. The spirit of national struggle 4. Globalization, marked ... • The strong influence of international development community institutions • The rapid development of science and technology In the face of globalization & looking to the future to fill the non-independence we need to struggle physically fit their respective professional fields.
2. Education in Indonesia is expected to prepare students to be citizens who have a strong and consistent commitment to maintain the Unitary State of Republic of Indonesia. Nature of the unitary Republic of Indonesia is a modern nation-state. Modern nation-state is a state that its formation is based on the spirit of nationality or nationalism is on the determination of a community to build a future together under the same country, although the citizens of different religions, race, ethnicity, or group. Minutes of Session Investigation Agency Efforts Preparation of Indonesian Independence (BPUPKI) and the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI), Melbourne: Secretariat of the Republic of Indonesia, 1998]. Strong and consistent commitment to the principles and spirit of nationalism in the life of society, nation and the state based on Pancasila and the Constitution of 1945, needs to be improved continuously to provide a thorough understanding of the Unitary Republic of Indonesia. Historically, the Indonesian state has been created as a unitary state with a Republican. Unitary State of Republic of Indonesia is a sovereign country with people based on Belief in God Almighty, just and civilized humanity, the unity of Indonesia and democracy led by wisdom of deliberation / representation, and the realization of social justice for all Indonesian people. [Preamble to the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia 1945]. In development since the Proclamation of August 17, 1945 until the end of the 20th century, the people of Indonesia has experienced a variety of events that threaten the integrity of the state. It required a deep understanding and strong and consistent commitment to the principles and spirit of nationalism in the life of society, nation and the state based on Pancasila and the Constitution of 1945. The Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia needs to be invested to all components of the Indonesian people, especially the younger generation as the next generation. Indonesia should avoid authoritarian system of government which memasung rights of citizens to run for democratic principles in the life of society, nation and the state. Democratic life in the everyday life in a family environment, society, government, and organizations of non-government needs to be known, understood, internalized, and applied for the realization of the implementation of democratic principles. In addition, the need to defend the country also invested awareness, respect for human rights, pluralistic nation, environmental protection, social responsibility, obedience to the law, obedience to pay taxes, as well as the attitudes and behavior of anti-corruption, collusion, and nepotism. Subjects Citizenship Education is a subject that focuses on the formation of citizens who understand and are able to exercise the rights and obligations to be a citizen of Indonesia who are intelligent, skilled, and character that are mandated by the Pancasila and 1945 Constitution. Rationale for Citizenship Education: 1. That national education is rooted in the culture of the Indonesian nation is directed to increase the intelligence and dignity of the nation, people and people of Indonesia to realize that faith and piety to God Almighty, quality self-contained so it can establish itself and the surrounding communities and can meet the needs of national development & responsible for nation building. 2. Political soul, loving homeland, national spirit, social solidarity, the nation's history pd awareness, and respect for the heroes of services among the students want to be nurtured through civic education. 2.2.3 Objectives of Citizenship Education The main purpose of civic education. Citizenship Education aims subjects so that learners have the following capabilities. 1. Think critically, rationally, and creatively in response to the issue of citizenship 2. Participate actively and responsibly, and act intelligently in the activities of society, the nation and state, as well as anti-corruption 3. Developing positively and democratically to shape itself based on the characters of Indonesian society in order to live together with other nations 4. Interacting with other nations in the world arena is directly or indirectly by utilizing information and communication technology.
2.2.4 Basic Concepts About Citizen Citizens are interpreted by people as part of a population that become elements of the state and contain the meaning of the participants, members or citizens of a country, the participants of a perssekutuan established with joint strength. The term citizen formerly commonly called slaves or subjects of countries in the English language (object) means the person who owns and devoted to their owners. Hikam U.S. citizens define that which is the translation of citizenship is a member of a community that shapes the country itself. Koerniatmanto S, defines citizens with member states. As a member state, a citizen has a special position to negaranya.Ia have the right relationships and mutual obligations of the country. In the Indonesian context, the term citizen (according to the 1945 Constitution, article 26) referred to the original Indonesian nation and other nations that ratified the law as citizens negara.Dalam article 1 of Law no. 22/1958 that citizens of the Republic of Indonesia are the people who under the laws and / or treaties and / or regulations which took effect on August 17, 1945 Proclamation had become Indonesian citizens.
2.2.5 Principle of Citizenship The principle of a person's citizenship is determined under the provisions agreed to in the country. In applying the principle of citizenship are two guidelines, namely: 1. The principle of citizenship by birth found two forms of the principle, ius soli and ius sanguinis. In Latin ius legal means, excuse or guidelines, soli derived from the berartinegeri solum, soil or area and the mean blood sanguinis. Thus, ius soli citizenship is based on the guidelines means a place or region of birth, while the ius sanguinis citizenship guideline is based on blood or descent. 2. The principle of citizenship based on marriage which can be seen from the side of marriage that includes the principle of unity of law and the principle of equality derajat.Asas legal entity based on the paradigm that the husband and wife or family ties is at the core of society necessitates the atmosphere of prosperous, healthy and not split in a union that round , so the need for common understanding and commitment to run together on the same legal basis and necessitates the same nationality. While the principle of equality is determined that a marriage does not cause changes masingpihak their citizenship status. They still have their own citizenship status as well as when they are not tied to a husband and wife. This principle can avoid the occurrence of smuggling law so many countries that use the principle of equality in citizenship regulations.
2.2.6 Elements That Define Citizenship 1. Elements of Blood Descendants (ius Sanguinists) Citizenship from parents who lowered determine a person's citizenship, this principle applies them in England, America, France, Japan, and Indonesia. 2. Place of Birth Region element (ius Soli) The area where a person is born determines citizenship, this principle applies in the United States, Britain, France, and Indonesia, except in Japan. 3. Elements of naturalization (Naturalization) Terms or naturalization procedures tailored to the needs presented by the condition and situation of each country.
