for others, a complete helping act motivated by self-
interest without expecting something for itself
(Watson, 1984, pp. 272). Prosocial behavior must be
able to help others and benefit others, as Kartono
(2003, p.380) states that prosocial behavior is a social
behavior that benefits in it there are elements of
togetherness, cooperation, cooperative, and
alturisme. Prosocial behavior can influence how
individuals engage in social interaction, a person is
said to behave prosocially if the individual is helping
other individuals regardless of the helper's motives
arising from the suffering experienced by others who
include mutual help, mutual comfort, friendship,
rescue, sacrifice, generosity, and mutual sharing
(Sears, 1991, p. 61).
Myers (2002, p.328) states that prosocial behavior
or alturism is a desire to be able to help others without
thinking of their own interests. Prosocial behavior can
be understood as a behavior that benefits others. This
is evident in everyday life can include actions such as
sharing, cooperation, helping honesty, generousity
and considering the rights and welfare of others. In
line with that Pratiwi (2010, p.34) suggests that
prosocial behavior is an action that encourages a
person to be able to interact, cooperate, and help
others without expecting something for himself.
Prosocial behavior is a broader category than
altruism that includes every act of giving help or
designed to help others, regardless of the motive of
the person providing help. Many prosocial acts do not
include altruistic acts, for prosocial action can be
initiated from altruism acts to actions motivated by
self-interest or self-interest. Prosocial behavior can be
influenced by interpersonal relationships, whether
motivated by feelings of pleasure, sense of duty, self-
worth, or empathy (Taylor et al., 2009, p 457).
2.5 Exemplify Prosocial at School
Exemplary are things that can be imitated or
emulated. Examples are good qualities or noble
values of humanity that make someone who has them
can be appreciated, respected, respected and other
positive praises, whoever he is, whatever his function
and position or circumstances. This is what makes
him unique and special and interesting. Because of
the privilege and interesting it is also a person diaggap
appropriate to be modeled or modeled by anyone.
Similarly, Shodiq (1988, pp. 369) explains that
modeling in Arabic is termed "uswatun hasanah"
meaning the way of life blessed by God Almighty. As
exemplified by the Prophet and has been done also by
the Prophet, Prophet Ibrahin and his followers.
Exemplary is the most important part of the world of
education as Ulwan (1992, pp. 1-2) notes that:
Modeling in education is part of some of the most
powerful and effective methods of preparing and
shaping the child morally, spiritually and socially.
For, an educator is an ideal example in the view of the
child, whose behavior and manners will be imitated,
realized or not, even all examples will be attached to
themselves and their feelings, whether in the form of
speech, deeds, things that are material, sensory, or
spiritual.
2.6 The value of Example in school
Example in education is a method of influentif the
most convincing success in preparing and shaping the
child in moral, spiritual and social. This is because
educators are the best example in view of the child,
which will be imitated in the son, and the santunnya,
realized or not, even imprinted in the soul and a
feeling of the educator, whether in speech or deeds,
whether material or spiritual, known or unknown.
In the perspective of Islam, a figure the example
can be found in the Qur'an in addition in Q.S. 33/Al-
Ahzab verse 21, also put forward in the letter: "and
behold, ye (o Prophet) is really ethical. (Q.S. 68/Al-
Qalam: 4). The second verse asserts that Islam is the
epitome of peak on your personal Messenger. He was
the pinnacle of a role model in every way of life. This
means that if we want to understand Islam as a whole,
then take a look at how the Prophet understand and
practise Islam (Sauri, 2011, 132 pp.).
2.7 Character of the Nation
The character of the nation can be defined as a unique
quality of collective nationalism-whether reflected in
the awareness, understanding, taste, intention and
behavior of the nation and state of the result of
thought, if the heart, the taste and the intention, and
the sport of a person in the national life group
(Sukadi, 2011, pp. 83). In line with that understanding
the Government of the Republic of Indonesia (2010,
p.7) suggests that:
"The character of the Indonesian nation will
determine the unique collective behavior of the
Indonesian nation-whether reflected in the awareness,
understanding, taste, initiative and behavior of the
Indonesian nation and nation based on the values of
Pancasila, the norms of the 1945 Constitution, the
diversity of Bhinneka Tunggal Ika's unity, and
Commitment to NKRI ".
The character of the nation is the value that
continues to be the principle and institutionalized
through the collective behavior of nationality which
