So that weakness of youth could be minimi&ed. All those %ill be summari&ed on S'() (Stren#th, 'ea$ness, (""ortunity and )hreat) of !outh. Musthofa Al*+hulayaini said that on the youth hand, the Future of Nation. )he functional ca"acity of youth could ma$e "eace buildin#. Many $inds of threat is li$e man made disaster, it is caused by the %ron# frame of diversity. !outh has a role to ma$e it res"ectable by their "o%er. )he characteristic of youth is labile. t is sho%ed that almost disturbance %as done by youth. so that youth has to #et a #ood fi#ure. )hat could be #otten by "arents. )he other are foot ball "layer, "olitician, actor or artist etc. all of them could #ive an ins"iration for youth. !outh should #et some #uideline to survive in their life. t also could be su""ort by "romote and disseminate learnin#. Accordin# of the fact that, )he most im"ortant is to res"ect each other, so that "eace buildin# in diversity has to be done as the "rinci"al for ASEAN ,ommunity. t could be done by buildin# relationshi".

PEA E B!"#D"N$ "N D"%ERS"&Y Peace buildin# in diversity could be done by buildin# relationshi". t is related %ith community cohesion. /ased on statement of 0enham (cit on )homas, 1223) 4
Community Cohesion requires that there is a shared sense of belonging based on common goals and core social values, respect for differences ethnic, cultural and religious! and acceptance of the reciprocal rights and obligations of community members working together for the common good

Accordin# of that o"inion, the community cohesion has to be done first and then it could build core social value. .ast core social value could ma$e "eace buildin# in 0iversity. /ased on the "ur"ose of ASEAN that 5to maintain and enhance "eace, security, stability and further stren#then "eace oriented values in the re#ion6. So many $inds of events amon# ASEAN ,ountries are based on the "rinci"al of "eace buildin#. And youth could "artici"ate by holdin# that event. ASEAN %ith collaboration of youth could build many events. )hat has to be held by "eace buildin# "rinci"al. )he basic event is about "hilanthro"y. !outh has to be active on charity "ro#ram, buildin# mental status for refu#ee on after disaster and the other.

For e-am"le is dynamic. 0ynamic could let creative, and it could #ive to ne% idea for "eace buildin#. *. 'ea+ness .abile is weakness of youth. So both opportunity and strength of youth could minimi&e that. t is related %ith o"inion of 0avid .. ,o"errider that 5everyone have to develo" their stren#th in order to decrease their %ea$ness6. ,.
