  • The Formation of the Value of Thai Society in the Context of National Security
    The Formation of the Value of Thai society in the context of National Security By Colonel Rifky Nawawi Indonesian Army Student of The National Defence College The national Defence Course: Class 59 Academic Year 2016-2017 ii Preface Advancement in science and technology, especially information technology, communications and transportation that takes place very quickly will affect the character of a nation, including the social values of the Thai society which are the foundation and outlook of the nation. What efforts have been made and are being done by the Thai government to control the effects of globalization so that there is no decrease in the understanding of national security? How does the government play a role in the preservation of traditions and customs? What is the contribution of state leadership to developing national defense attitudes and behaviors? Strengthening the implementation to improve national identity as part of the efforts of building national resilience actually has a very strong foothold. The reference made in the form of formal legal basis in its implementation is a policy that is general and does not require clear and firm explanation. The Government's stern attitude will determine the policy direction towards the nation's character building through the development of science-based education and technology based on character, socialization, preservation of traditions, customs and selection, morality and contribution of government leaders to the development and the development of the Thai character. This study does not provide an answer but it provides some insight into understanding the impact of globalization on the value of social value of Thai society.
