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
