We give thanks to the presence of God Almighty because, by His abundant grace and blessings, this course material has been compiled as a form of commitment to instill and develop the noble values of Pancasila among the younger generation, especially students. In the midst of the tide of globalization bringing various changes and challenges, it is important for us to hold firmly to the fundamental values that serve as the identity and foundation of the Indonesian nation. Pancasila — as the state foundation and national ideology — should not only serve as a formal symbol of the nation, but must become a moral guide in attitude, thought, and action. In the context of a global society, students are required not only to be intellectually and professionally capable, but also resilient in upholding Pancasila-based national values. Through this material, it is hoped that students will be able to understand, internalize, and actualize the values of Pancasila concretely in campus life, social life, and even in the global sphere. Character education based on Pancasila becomes the key in shaping a generation who are integrous, empathetic, competitive, and uphold the values of humanity, democracy, and justice. In closing, may this material become a real contribution in shaping a young generation who are not only knowledgeable, but also have noble character — as a manifestation of the true Pancasila generation.

This study investigates the influence of the vocabulary terms “selumbari” and “tulat” on efforts to develop and cultivate the Indonesian language, particularly through expanding public lexical awareness via social media. These two terms, originating from local linguistic traditions, possess significant potential to be integrated into modern Indonesian as part of cultural preservation and the strengthening of national linguistic identity. The research employed a descriptive quantitative method, collecting data through the dissemination of educational videos and Google Form questionnaires on social media platforms such as Instagram, WhatsApp, and TikTok. Respondents consisted of students, university students, the general public, and various other social groups. Analysis of responses from 20 participants revealed that most respondents had never heard or read the words “selumbari” and “tulat.” However, the majority stated that both words were easy to understand and contributed positively to vocabulary development in Indonesian. The findings indicate that social media plays a strategic role in introducing and popularizing new vocabulary to a wide audience. This study also highlights the importance of vocabulary enrichment as part of ongoing Indonesian language development, ensuring that the language remains adaptive to contemporary changes while representing local cultural richness. The implications of this research may serve as a reference for educators, linguistic institutions, and policymakers in formulating strategies to enhance vocabulary literacy, especially among younger generations.

Integrating local history and national values is also essential to strengthen students’ national identity. This study emphasizes that developing digital history teaching materials is not merely about adopting technology but about creating meaningful, reflective, and generation-appropriate learning experiences.

The era of globalization has introduced new dynamics in the practice of citizenship and the protection of human rights (HR), both at national and international levels. The background of this study stems from the increasing flow of migration, the rapid development of information technology, and the interconnectedness of global economic and political systems, all of which challenge the traditional concept of citizenship and mechanisms for protecting HR. The aim of this research is to analyze the relevance of citizenship in the context of globalization and to examine the effectiveness of human rights protection in addressing cross-border issues. The method employed is a literature study with a qualitative-descriptive approach, drawing on academic sources, international legal instruments, and national regulations concerning citizenship and HR. The findings indicate that globalization expands the scope of citizen participation, but simultaneously creates new vulnerabilities, such as discrimination against migrants, weak digital protection, and gaps in access to justice. On the other hand, international legal instruments and the role of transnational organizations have shown potential in strengthening protection, although their implementation still faces challenges at the domestic level. In conclusion, citizenship in the globalization era is no longer limited to a legal-formal identity, but also encompasses universal rights that demand states to enhance global collaboration, regulatory harmonization, and policy innovation in human rights protection.

The study concludes that strengthening Pancasila-based digital ethics requires collaboration among the government, educational institutions, digital platforms, and society to ensure that digital transformation aligns with national moral foundations.

This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of Indonesian language education in strengthening national identity and culture amid the increasingly complex dynamics of globalization. Indonesian holds a strategic position as both the national and state language, functioning not only as a means of communication but also as a symbol of national unity, a marker of collective identity, and a medium for transmitting national cultural values. However, globalization—characterized by the dominance of foreign languages, particularly English, rapid digital transformation, and changing language attitudes among younger generations—poses serious challenges to the ideological and cultural functions of Indonesian, especially within formal education. This research employed a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with teachers and students, classroom observations of Indonesian language learning practices, and document analysis of curricula and instructional materials at secondary and higher education levels. The data were analyzed thematically through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation to ensure the trustworthiness of the findings. The results indicate that Indonesian language education that integrates national values, literary texts, and cultural elements plays a significant role in fostering students’ awareness of national identity and positive attitudes toward the Indonesian language. Moreover, Indonesian language learning functions as a form of cultural practice that contributes to the preservation of national cultural values. Nevertheless, the study reveals challenges related to students’ pragmatic orientation toward global languages and the dominance of foreign languages in digital spaces. Therefore, strengthening Indonesian language education through integrative, contextual, and adaptive curricula and pedagogical practices is essential to address global challenges while sustaining Indonesia’s national identity and cultural continuity.

 Digital transformation in public service is an inevitable necessity in the era of modern governance. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of the Smart Civil Registration System (Smart System Dukcapil) in digital administrative services in Palangka Raya City as part of the national e-government initiative and the strengthening of electronic-based governance. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis of relevant regulations and the implementation of the system within the Department of Population and Civil Registration (Disdukcapil) of Palangka Raya City.The findings indicate that the implementation of the Smart System Dukcapil through applications such as the Sistem Informasi Dukcapil Oloh Itah (SI-DOI) and Digital Population Identity (IKD) has significantly improved efficiency, transparency, and data accuracy in population administration services.

This study aims to compare the Merdeka Curriculum in Indonesia and the National Curriculum in Japan from both conceptual and practical perspectives. The analysis focuses on the fundamental principles, educational goals, learning approaches, and classroom implementation. Indonesia’s Merdeka Curriculum emphasizes flexibility and autonomy for teachers and students, highlighting competency development, character building, and the Profil Pelajar Pancasila (Pancasila Student Profile). Meanwhile, Japan’s National Curriculum centers on fostering a well-balanced personality through integrated moral, social, and academic education. Conceptually, both curricula share similarities in promoting holistic learning and character education, yet they differ in implementation and assessment systems. In Indonesia, project-based and differentiated learning approaches are key features, whereas Japan emphasizes collaborative learning, discipline, and hands-on experience in daily life. Practically, Indonesia faces challenges in ensuring equal access to resources and teacher readiness, while Japan has established a stable and standardized national education system. This comparative analysis reveals that Indonesia can learn from Japan in terms of consistency, learning culture, and the integration of moral and social values. Thus, the study provides valuable insights for enhancing Indonesia’s curriculum to become more globally responsive while preserving national identity and character.

This paper examines the anatomy of extremism in Pakistan by analyzing its ideological, socio-economic, and geopolitical dimensions, as well as assessing the efficacy of the state’s counter-extremism responses. Extremism in Pakistan has evolved from sectarian and jihadist origins into a multidimensional threat fueled by ideological radicalization, socio-economic disparity, digital propaganda, and regional instability following the Taliban’s resurgence in Afghanistan. Despite significant tactical successes through military operations such as Zarb-e-Azb and Radd-ul-Fasaad, the state’s strategy remains constrained by weak policy coordination, limited ideological reform, and insufficient civilian engagement. The paper argues that Pakistan’s counter-extremism framework must move beyond reactive security measures toward proactive socio-political transformation. It proposes a reimagined strategic approach centered on five pillars: (1) reframing the National Action Plan (NAP 2.0) with stronger institutional coordination, (2) comprehensive education and madrassa reforms, (3) youth engagement and socio-economic reintegration, (4) digital resilience to counter online radicalization, and (5) regional cooperation through multilateral platforms such as the SCO. The study concludes that enduring resilience against extremism requires a whole-of-nation approach that integrates ideological pluralism, governance reform, and regional diplomacy to transform Pakistan’s counter-extremism policy from containment to long-term stability and inclusive national identity.

This article explores the significance of ontological security in shaping Indonesia’s foreign policy formulation. Moving beyond material conceptions of security focused on military, economic, and territorial dimensions it argues that Indonesia’s foreign behavior is deeply influenced by the need to maintain a stable sense of national identity and historical continuity. As the world’s largest Muslim-majority democracy and a leading Southeast Asian nation, Indonesia consistently projects itself through identity-based narratives rooted in anti-colonialism and the “free and active” foreign policy doctrine. Its unwavering support for Palestinian independence, participation in the Non-Aligned Movement, and regional leadership in ASEAN illustrate how ontological security underpins diplomatic consistency and domestic legitimacy. However, the same identity-driven approach can also create friction between ideological commitments and pragmatic interests, particularly in managing relations with major powers such as China and the United States. The study concludes that while ontological security provides coherence and credibility, it also demands adaptive strategies. It recommends identity-sensitive diplomacy, coherent narrative management, strategic flexibility, and inclusive public engagement to ensure that Indonesia’s foreign policy remains balanced between identity preservation and practical global engagement.

Local culture plays a strategic role in shaping and maintaining the identity of the diverse Indonesian nation. In the context of higher education, local culture does not merely function as a heritage of tradition but also as a source of values and character that can strengthen students’ national consciousness. This research aims to analyze the role of local culture as the foundation of national identity at the university and to identify strategies for implementing cultural values in the educational process and at campus life. This research employes a descriptive qualitative approach using interviews, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), participatory observation, and document analysis to collect data. The findings indicate that the internalization of local cultural values through curriculum, student activities, and academic culture can strengthen the self-identity of students as the nation’s next generation. Thus, higher education institutions play a crucial role as agents of cultural preservation while simultaneously driving national ideology through the development of academic and non-academic programs rooted in local values. Thus, strengthening local culture in higher education is a strategic step in building a national identity that is characterized, competitive, and uniquely Indonesian.

This research is inspired by the extraordinary success of the domestic animated film titled Jumbo, which managed to set a new record and trigger a wave of overwhelmingly positive sentiment responses on the Instagram social media platform. Its main focus is to provide a deep qualitative interpretation of audience sentiment data that was previously collected and quantitatively evaluated by Prasetia (2025) from 764 original comments, which were then filtered down to 221 samples. The approach applied involves secondary data analysis by reviewing the frequency of Prasetia's data through the lens of social identity theory and collective efficacy theory. The results of the analysis reveal that the prevalence of positive sentiment at 68.7% does not merely reflect a simple evaluation of the film but also serves as a fundamental expression of shared pride and in-group preference. Expressions of support that emphasize appreciation for the achievement and national pride over the work of local creators act as a tool for strengthening social bonds, reinforcing the national identity linked to achievements in the film sector while also demonstrating the audience's collective belief in the potential of the domestic animation industry (mastery experience). Practically, the recommendation for local film promotion strategies is to highlight narratives about shared accomplishment and national pride to build audience loyalty and continuous interaction in the digital environment.

Indonesia’s diversity in ethnicity, culture, religion, and language demands an approach that can simultaneously address intellectual, spiritual, and national dimensions. The integration of philosophy, Pancasila, and theology becomes essential in responding to this complex reality. Philosophy strengthens critical and reflective thinking, helping individuals interpret differences with awareness and avoid hasty judgments, which is crucial in reducing social tension and fostering dialogue. Pancasila, as the nation’s ideological foundation, provides an ethical-political framework that guarantees unity, freedom, and justice for all citizens regardless of background. Theology complements these foundations by offering transcendental ethics and spiritual guidance that shape compassionate attitudes toward others and the environment. A contextual and inclusive theological perspective supports religion’s role as a source of enlightenment and encourages interfaith solidarity in a pluralistic society. When these three elements are integrated into education, public policy, and social culture, they help form a society that is intellectually critical, socially inclusive, and spiritually resilient. Core values such as empathy, justice, equality, and shared responsibility can develop more strongly in daily interactions. Although challenges such as identity crises, misinformation, and online intolerance remain, collaboration between the state and civil society is needed to maintain an inclusive public sphere. Through strengthening philosophical education, deepening appreciation of Pancasila, and advancing contextual theology, Indonesia can build a just and harmonious society.
