of life itself, however some of them are also still influenced by other tribes in the
sense that acculturation had been occurred between the newcomers and the native
tribes thus causing the diversity of the society of the world. One of obstacles in
integrating the citizens of the wold is the lack of understanding and recognition of
each other which causes the alienation and the gap between others. It should be

stronger diplomacy. Soft diplomacy can be defined as the exchange of ideas,
information, art and other cultural aspects between the state and the nation, including
all countries to create mutual understanding. This diplomatic strength will be very
beneficial for a country with other countries to maintain and establish friendly
relations with other countries. In other words, it could be the instrument in
implementing the foreign policy of a country as the foundation of friendship which
guides the nations towards cooperation and peace in the unification of the diversity by
the people-to-people connection.

services, defense cooperation to maintain security, and the improvement of social and
cultural activities could remark the attachment between regions. Each of the citizens
who move across the country or interact with other foreign citizens could create a
harmony and appreciate their differences which lead to mutual understanding. It will
be better if the cooperation and mutual understanding is reached through the
respective fields from the people around the world. This could be done by the citizens
as the main directors who will direct the development of their home country and the
other countries as well. The government acts as the advisor who gives the regulations
and effective rules and laws, however, it is the citizens who act based on the given
regulations and laws. Therefore, the unity between the citizens could be reached and
the better development could be done by citizens in the future, not only in establishing
