Personality Development’, ‘Social Development’, ‘National Development’, ‘National Spirit’, ‘National Amity’, ‘Nation Building Character’, ‘National Consciousness’, ‘National Solidarity’, ‘National Awareness’, ‘National Integration’, ‘National Sovereignty’, ‘National Integrity’, and ‘National Unity’ are the diminishing ideas among the citizens of a country now-a-days. Opportunities for cybercrimes worsen this situation further by luring the people with bad motivations, some who justify the cybercrimes somehow and some to perpetrate the cybercrimes. As the public authorities are not capable enough to handle cybercrime cases well as of now or due to lacunae in cyber laws, cyber criminals are evading and sweeping under the carpet. The societal status, may it be progressive or perishable depends on the kind of information that is provided to the people of society. If society is input with right information, the society will progress, develop positively and on the other hand the society will perish with the wrong or garbage information. In this context, Right-To-Information (RTI) Act 2005 plays a vital role by providing ‘Right Information’ through ‘Information Transparency’. We found out an organization named JNTUHJAC (offline) with its website with URL- www.jntuhjac.com (online) running from so many years, committed three or more cybercrimes against the Union of India. We considered this online and offline organization for our case study and for discussions of our solutions for these cybercrimes. In this paper, we proposed a research methodology based on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) approaches to prevent the conversion of Cybercrime or Ill-Informed Society into Perishable Society and hence hope to succeed in transforming Cybercrime or Ill-Informed Society into Well-Informed Society and hence into a “Progressive Society/Knowledge Society/Digital Society.

This chapter reflects on Bhutan’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic. The people’s trust and confidence in the leadership of His Majesty the King, their government, strong Buddhist values to help each other, and the conscience of unity and solidarity proved their foremost strength in containing this pandemic as a nation. The king’s personal involvement helped guide, motivate, and encourage compliance with and support for the government’s response. However, Bhutan faced several challenges during the pandemic. Though most of the people are united, there are outliers who took advantage of the situation; there are reported cases of drug smuggling and one case of a person who escaped from quarantine. The government responded by increasing border patrols. In the long run, other solutions could be considered: installing a smart wall—using drones, sensors, and artificial intelligence patrols—would give Bhutan more control over its borders in the context of another epidemic while also enabling the government to better control smuggling.

The term “majority rule” is as impossible to escape as it is apparently difficult to define with precision. Aristotle generally employed it to designate the conduct of government by the poor citizens, who were more numerous than the rich, in the Greek city states. In canon law, it meant the verdict of the maior and sanior pars of a small group. Frederic Harrison wrote about the “rule” of the “effective majority”—that section of any community or social aggregate, which, for the matter in hand, practically outweighs the remainder. He explains that it may do so “by virtue of its preponderance in numbers, or in influence, or in force of conviction, or in external resources, or in many other ways.” Sir George Cornewall Lewis thought that where the ultimate decision is vested in a body there is no alternative other than to count numbers, and to abide by the opinion of a majority. But in alleging that “no historian, in discussing the justice or propriety of any decision of a legislative body, or of a court of justice, thinks of defending the decision of the majority by saying that it was the decision of the majority,” he did not anticipate the view of the English historian Hearnshaw. According to the latter, “The faith of a democrat requires him to believe that in the long run the majority of the people finds its way to the truth, and that in the long run it tries to do the right.”

The status of white collar jobs are gradually declining in India and the people are getting accustomed to just in jobs for their livelihood sustainability. The question of existence of such unfilled gaps between education and employment is still unanswered and now it has become a predicament. It is indeed a crucial period for the higher educational institutions of the nation to balance both enrollment and placement of the students amidst the prevailing competitions in the educational market. In the present days, educational sectors are becoming corporatized by institutionalizing the principles of corporate into the dictionary of academics with the argument of fostering quality in education. The management of the institutions also substantiates such kind of transition in this era of technology. Should the institutions become manufacturing companies of quality employees to make them fit into the job market, which demands excess of skills and competencies to go for a long run? The reasons for education and employment being at two poles have to be studied to develop a deeper comprehension on the grounds of such emerging crisis. This study will be fruitful to the educationalists, academic experts and educational reformers to frame certain remedial measures for rectification. To carry out this research work systematically the concept of Fuzzy Cognitive Linguistic Multimaps, which is an extension of fuzzy cognitive trimaps, is used to draw feasible concluding remarks and inferences devoid of ambiguity and uncertainty.

This essay builds on the idea that Commons-based peer production is a social advancement within capitalism but with various post-capitalistic aspects, in need of protection, enforcement, stimulation and connection with progressive social movements. We use theory and examples to claim that peer-to-peer economic relations can be undermined in the long run, distorted by the extraeconomic means of a political context designed to maintain profit-driven relations of production into power. This subversion can arguably become a state policy, and the subsequent outcome is the full absorption of the Commons as well as of the underpinning peer-to-peer relations into the dominant mode of production. To tackle this threat, we argue in favour of a certain working agenda for Commons based communities. Such an agenda should aim the enforcement of the circulation of the Commons. Therefore, any useful social transformation will be meaningful if the people themselves decide and apply policies for their own benefit, optimally with the support of a sovereign partner state. If peer production is to become dominant, it has to control capital accumulation with the aim to marginalise and eventually transcend capitalism.

Urbanization and regional development are closely associated. Allocation of higher and lower order facilities and specialization of business influence urban growth which diffuses its benefits to the surrounding countryside. Subsequently, socio-economic development of the region comes into being. The continuous increase of urban size can not be sustained rather declining growth will certainly set in long run. Optimum level of its growth depends on the capacity of an urban centre to provide required facilities to the people in fair manner. Hierarchical growth of urban centres in association with location of civic amenities induces regional development in hierarchical dimension which is the common problem in developing economy. Subsequently, few of the urban centres are having large number of facilities while others are lacking corresponding to their population size. Formulation of pragmatic planning model is the rescue of wiping out such problems. It is an attempt to analyze the hierarchical growth of urban centres associated with their functional potentiality and diffusion of urban developmental impulses to the surrounding rural part. Further, it proposes a model for developing economy like India to solve the problem of regional variations of development. Besides, it examines the adequacy and inadequacy of facilities in the urban centres and puts forward planning recommendations, so that a balanced regional development would be achieved by not leaving any rural part out of the zone of functional influence of urban centre.

Literature and language play important role in forming the character of a country. Language that is delicate, neatly arranged, and expressed with good manner in various occasions creates lovely, beautiful, well-mannered, civilized impressions either for the speaker or the listener. Therefore in a long time, whether when it is in the position as lingua franca for the Nusantara people or when it is in the position as regional language, Malay, and Malay literature, has played important role in forming Malay country’s character. Speaking and doing literature using Malay that is based on the ethical and aesthetic values not only colour the life of the noblemen in the kingdom palace, but also among the people. The delivery of certain messages orally through pantun or literary texts such as poem and gurindam that contain a lot of moral values, really contributes to the forming of Nusantara people’s personality and character. The problem is that country’s character is not the destiny or fate, not something that has been available on its own; it is a “course” or “duty”. It must be planted, internalized, built, formed, and kept ground inside the country’s children selves. In this context, language plays important role. Language is the symbolic system that with it men can form, raise, and develop their culture. In relation to it, the position and function of Indonesian and regional (Malay) languages must be reinforced: “schools oblige to develop Indonesian and regional languages to become the part of country’s character building.”AbstrakSastra dan bahasa memainkan peranan penting dalam membentuk karakter suatu bangsa. Bahasa yang halus, tertata rapi, dan disampaikan dengan tatakrama yang baik dalam berbagai kesempatan menimbulkan kesan elok, indah, santun, terhormat, beradab, baik bagi pembicara maupun pendengarnya. Demikianlah dalam waktu yang lama, baik tatkala berkedudukan sebagai lingua franca bagi masyarakat Nusantara maupun ketika berkedudukan sebagai bahasa daerah, bahasa Melayu, pun sastra Melayu, telah memainkan peran penting dalam membentuk karakter bangsa Melayu. Berbahasa dan bersastra dengan bahasa Melayu yang berlandaskan pada nilai-nilai etika dan estetika itu tidak hanya mewarnai kehidupan para bangsawan di istana kerajaan, melainkan juga di tengah rakyat jelata. Penyampaian pesan-pesan tertentu secara lisan melalui pantun atau melalui teks sastra seperti syair dan gurindam yang banyak mengandung nilai-nilai moral, sangat kontributif bagi pembentukan kepribadian dan karakter masyarakat Nusantara. Masalahnya adalah karakter bangsa itu bukanlah nasib bukan pula takdir, bukan sesuatu yang telah tersedia dengan sendirinya; ia adalah “ikhtiar” atau “tugas”. Ia harus ditanamkan, diinternalisasikan, dibangun, dibentuk, dan terus diasah di dalam diri anak-anak bangsa. Dalam konteks ini bahasa memainkan peranan penting. Bahasa adalah sistem simbol yang dengannya manusia dapat membentuk, memelihara, dan mengembangkan kebudayaannya. Berkaitan dengan hal tersebut, kedudukan dan fungsi bahasa Indonesia dan daerah (Melayu) harus diperkuat: “sekolah-sekolah wajib mengembangkan bahasa Indonesia dan bahasa daerah menjadi bagian dari pembangunan karakter bangsa.”
