Prof. Parji, Delivers Scientific Orations 

Tuesday, 19 October 2021. In the Professorship Inauguration, Prof. Parji called for an oration entitled Strengthening the Nation's Social Capital in the Revolutionary Era 4.0 in the perspective of Pancasila Values. Prof. Parji explained the Challenges in the Industrial Revolution Era 4.0. He conveyed several conclusions and recommendations in order to strengthen the nation's social capital in the current era of the Industrial revolution 4.0.

Among them, Prof. Parji said that basically since the formation of the state, Indonesia has had strong social capital. However, along with the dynamics and challenges of the era, social capital is important to continue to be maintained, strengthened, developed and implemented in the context of its era.

In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 there are factors that can erode and distort the nation's social capital, therefore serious anticipation and effort are needed from all stakeholders. Efforts need to be focused on improving human resources through updating skills, improving skills, entrepreneurial abilities, and relevant and quality education and training.

Prof. Parji also said that strengthening, developing, and implementing the nation's social capital must be carried out in the perspective of Pancasila values, both as the basis of the state, the nation's view of life, and the nation's ideology. The pure and consistent experience of Pancasila values ​​in the life of society, nation and state must be the collective endeavor and commitment of the nation.

For that we need approaches, strategies, and programs to strengthen the nation's social capital, either through the government, the community, or through education. The three educational centers, namely the family, school, and community environment are important pillars in the process of socialization, internalization, and implementation of social capital in the perspective of Pancasila values.

In strengthening social capital, one should not forget and pay attention to the culture and local wisdom that is spread throughout the archipelago.

He also closed the oration with a series of thanks to each party and his extended family who have provided endless support throughout the course of Prof.'s education and career. Parji and those who have given motivation, support, assistance, and attention to the process of appointing Prof. Parji as Professor of Social Science Education at UNIPMA.

With a sense of emotion, he shed tears as he thanked the deceased and the late father and mother. "Even though I put this at the end of this thank you, he is actually the most meritorious person in the journey of my life. He is the one who always taught me the importance of hard work, honesty, and truth in living life, thus leading me to achieve this highest academic degree,” he said.
