Nation is togetherness of people sharing their common language, culture, history, and others to form unity. It could be a group of people in a particular region working together in politics and culture, and then they unite people through it. A state is community or groups of people in a certain territory ruled by a government. State just refers to a territory with sovereign government. So basically they are different because nations are about togetherness and unity upon the people while state is a community that are formed living under the law of the government.
2. Why a state needs other states’ recognition? How does it affect that state directly? (max 150 words)
A state needs other recognition because from their characteristic itself they need the authority in order to apply the state’s legislation. To force legal physical power and decide collective goal of society the state need to be authorize by other state that have more power.

Reflection
Pak Hendra didn't give us a sheet for the score but he told us the score for the report card. This is the only assessment in civics for this quarter so I'm sure this assessment give a big impact to the report card score. The score that I got is 4/8. I'm not satisfied with my score, Pak Hendra said to get a full mark there should be the important key word that he told us and I don't include any key word. So even though what I wrote is much, it's not what Pak Hendra expect. So to improve I need to pay attention on the important words Pak Hendra mention.
Intercultural Awareness
This relates to intercultural awareness because we gain knowledge about nation and state that is related to Indonesia. Pak Hendra told us also about the government of Indonesia relating to nation and state this help us to have the knowledge and increase awareness at the same time towards the government of Indonesia.
