Proceedings of the International Conference for Democracy and National Resilience 2022 (ICDNR 2022)

Book excerpt: This is an open access book.National Resilience of Indonesia is a dynamic condition of the Indonesian Nation that includes all aspects of integrated national life, defence from disturbances both from outside and from within the country to ensure identity, integration, survival of the nation and state, and the struggle to achieve national goals. The existence of digital life, a significant modernization, greatly influences the implementation of a country’s democracy. In general, the development of digitalization and modern life has affected not only democracy but also all aspects of life. People’s life dynamics can lead to the rapid growth of democratic appliances, where cultural acculturation was affected by a touch of information technology. The individual freedom of society in conveying ideas, criticisms, suggestions, and even blasphemy is often encountered through various variants of social media users. Digitalization encourages increased problems with people’s constitutional rights such as freedom of opinion, protection of the rights of other citizens, defamation, and pollution. Ethnicity, religion, race, between groups, and so on. Another problem that must also be accommodated is the problem of organizing democracy, statehood, and government policies. So there needs to be an optimization of the conception of a country’s democracy to create protection for citizens, governments, and so on to create optimal democratic implementation, accountability, and the state’s principles, and ideals.
