The Past in the Present and the Creation of Social Development Guidelines

Abstract

This academic article aimed to study social development from the development and problem-solving methods of society in the past to the social development and problem-solving methods in the present by collecting data from academic documents, articles, textbooks, newspapers, magazines, various journals, conference agendas related to development and problem-solving of society at the global, regional and national levels, including related electronic media, and using concepts and theories to analyze. It was found that social development has been around since the past because humans were social animals who lived together in groups and societies. However, the term development has been used more widely after World War II because the world was severely damaged by war, which required the country to adjust and restore its social, economic and political conditions to their original state. But the obstacles to the current and future development have become a cycle or problem in the formulation of important policies for social development in the past decade. It was probably impossible to escape finding a way to solve the problem of "stupidity, poverty, pain". Governments have focused on policies as important. There has been continuous and systematic practice on how to do it (The How), why to do it (The Why), and how to affect positive change (Change). Social development was a matter of doing it in line with the rapid changes in the world in terms of economy, politics, society, culture, and environment, which were the results of globalization and the advancement of complex information technology.
