Internal And External Factors

 One can say that there is inadequate preparation, in Africa, to embrace the fourth industrial revolution. Two schools of thought argue as to the reason for this state of affair. While the Internalist school blames the situation on Africa’s culture and metaphysics, the Externalist school considers external factors as the ultimate explanation for Africa’s plight. We argue that both internal and external factors considered separately are not sufficient as the ultimate explanation for Africa’s lack of preparation, hence the need for a multi-dimensional approach which offers more than the conventional wisdom but critically considers what constitutes a complex explanation and solution for Africa’s plight. Furthermore, we suggest that more attention should be paid to Africa’s existential situation if she must rise to take her place in the emerging revolution. The study initiates a conversation around the theme of Africa’s fate in the looming fourth industrial revolution using phenomenological methods of research.

Since the covid-19 outbreak lurks throughout the world economy is no exception to the Indonesian agricultural sector. Small farmers began to have difficulty in marketing the products grown, emerging agricultural startup institutions that utilize technology to maintain farmers' economic sustainability. Agricultural startups in Indonesia have not been able to have a model that strengthens actors in it; the actor is a reformer agent. in this study, we wanted to create a new model in strengthening reforming agents at agricultural startups. We surveyed two different ways: (a) meet directly with respondents and use health protocols who can be found; and (c) by charging via online Google form to respondents who cannot be found. In total, we conducted 144 surveys out of the actors we initially identified as relevant. The study reveals to know variable support of internal factors, external factors, and the role of reforming agents have a real and positive effect on strengthening the institutional capacity of agricultural startups in the agricultural industry 4.0 era. The model of strengthening the role of reforming agents in startups in the agricultural industry 4.0 era is necessary for looking at the state of startups, internal and external factors of reforming agents, the role of reforming agents, and their influence on strengthening capacity occurring in startups to produce strategies in strengthening agent of change. The findings will guide the agriculture startup in achieving its vision of creating the perfect strategy for agent of change.

Nationality Law

This essay analyzes the political motivations behind the Jewish Nation-State Bill introduced in the Knesset in November 2014, shedding light on the ascendancy of the Israeli political establishment's radical right wing. It argues that there were both internal and external factors at work and that it is only by examining these thoroughly that the magnitude of the racist agenda currently being promoted can be grasped. The essay also discusses the proposed legislation's long history and the implications of this effort to constitutionalize what amounts to majoritarian despotism in present-day Israel.
