This article discusses identity and modernity problem in globalization era. As a plural society, Indonesia needs to maintain and build the identity. In Indonesia context, the only way is how to revitalize Pancasila. Revitalization of Pancasila and local wisdom is a worthy and urgent thing to do in an effort to counteract the excesses of modernization and globalization. Moral teachings derived from Pancasila and local wisdom, which stresses social awareness, simplicity, and power of the human mind, must be internalized intensively and planned to learners and the wider community.
