Katoba as The Media of Character Education on Munanese Society

Abstract

Character education is a slogan that is touted or cried out by every element of society in instilling values and moral messages on children. It is more relevant nowadays, when children that become the hope of nation, do not bear good characters that eventually results in generations having no manners and do not give priority to ethics. In actuality, for the Munanese society, katoba has been an instrument of character education that has been inherited through generations. With katoba, children are taught to know Islamic values and behavior in the society, implemented on the basis of respecting the parents.
